The Apex Legends ULTIMATES Tier List 

Tacticals next? 🤔

Cryptos EMP counters so much honestly. Gibby bubble, seer ultimate, rampart walls (amped part only), wattson fences and pylons, horizon ultimate, caustic trap, catalyst spikes, loba market, newcastle tactical (idk about octane pad, newcastle ult and conduits ult. One EMP can turn any fight around.

As a caustic main, Seeing macro give my ultimate to S+, Made me ascend to the heavens.

I'd go as far as to say that Wattson's pylon has got to be the most broken ult in the game. One pylon restores 250 shields, two pylons restore 500 shields. Which means that one stack of two ult accelerants has as much shields as 5 batteries, and it's automatically shared between your team, keeping their hands free to fight.

I think an important consideration for ranking the ultimates is their ultimate cost. You brought it up for Mirage, but not really for the other ones. Like, Octane's jump pad may not be as good as other movement options, but you can get it really fast.

being a fan of macro is like maining mirage before his huge buff

As a Loba main, I’ve won many games because I was able to supply my team with late game heals, ammo, stealing red-tier weapons (even if we aren’t going to use them, it’s better on the ground then in the enemies hands). Late game rings are when Loba’s ultimate is the best.

Ballistics ult def is a team work but it's amazing in bubble fights

I love how everyone has all these fancy ults like portals, bombardments and even a literal black hole and the one that wins is a simple gas grenade

Personally this may be a bit bias, but i think Maggie’s ult is a lot more versatile, it’s good for running away, the stun can help secure a kill and still ok for entry. I think when it works as intended, it is a solid B, maybe A tier

i think that fuses ult is a c for me bc i can phase, jump drive, revnent tactial, valk fly, gravety lift, and some times just walk through it.

I don't know about Horizon ult being S tier while Conduit ult being A tier. Each unit of Conduit's ult has more health with a smaller hitbox, Horizon's ult only has 175hp which is almost as fragile as Caustic's tactical, and has a huge hitbox. You can break it before it's active as well.

Wattsons ult should be S+ recharges shields and counters what is in S+. Also recharges her tactical. She counters so many other ults too and all grenandes and even some tacticals.

Haven’t played since Seer was the newest character included and he was definitely broken with how much scanning and info you can get. So see his ult now F tier is shocking, how bad did he get nerfed? Also seeing Crypto get A tier is nice since I like to play him the most

Lifelines ultimate should change to either a buy station or a respawn point if they truly want to keep care package in the game

i say it makes sense conduit has an ability that damages enemies with her shock powers and has an ability that heals shields for her teammates with her shock powers. i like her ult alot

Maggie’s ult got a buff to be able to destroy gibby shields, and a lot of other legend abilities, I’d say it’s use is defortification, it is good at getting rid of things that enemies put down to hinder you, though I have to agree that the inconsistency does make it a noticeably worse ability Wait… did you say sheila needs aim?!?

lifelines ultimate drops what your team needs, so if one of you has purple, and the other has grey, its gunna give blue, if both of you have purple, its gunna give 1 gold itll also give you the heals, hop ups, and utility items your team needs

Small note, dont relay too much on the window trick for ash it barely works with any of them

I was struggling to find a video to watch, thanks macro

I keep saying i want Ash's ult to have a second slash within 1s. You slash once, travel, and if you select a new target within that 1s, you can slash again with maybe 50 percent distance on the second slash. It turns Ash into a proper positioning Legend, doesnt need a range increase, allows more flexibility of where you go, and actually allows you to win fights without letting you do something stupid.

Grateful to see an actual tier list in this tier list video xxx

You can also emote during mirage ult so you can create more clones which confuses the enemy more

Valkyrie at D is criminal lmao Anyway nice vid!

I just wish Mirage clones would shoot enemies and climb. (Shooting enemies but not doing any damage, just pinging the shots)

I think the reason Wattson, Crypto, and Caustic ults are so strong is because they have (almost) no counterplay. The ONLY way to defeat Caustic ult is to be playing Wattson and have your pylon down already, and have the Caustic flub his throw, since he can LOS the pylon and the AOE is generous enough to force Wattson out of her den anyways. Caustic's ult forces any holed up defender out of their controlled space, with a single rare exception. Crypto's EMP, to a certain extent just by existing in the game, means that no setups are safe. He's like Caustic and can breach fortified territory with no opportunity for counterplay. The power of unblockable zone denial is what makes them all so powerful in higher level, defense-focused play. You can shoot a black hole, get under cover from a Bang airstrike, move a few inches from a Gibby airstrike, etc., but you just can't avoid an EMP obliterating your fortifications and chipping your shields, gas forcing you out of position, or pylon destroying basically every assault ability.

Conduit’s ult is amazing!! I’ve used it for res and blocking entries

Since in the post Malone event everyone can revive quickly and have three extra lives, most people used the support characters because of how good they were when there was no ammo, medkits, Batteries or a place to take cover when there were ten teams left alive in the final circle and you couldn't go to the enemy's boxes to get something without being diverted and Lifeline with Coduit or Wattson was the best team, Lifeline's passive allows you to shoot and revive at the same time with the bonus that in This event, if they bypass your partner, they cannot kill him, Conduit's passive gives you a shield and his ultimate creates a wall of damage and with Wattson's ultimate, he regenerates your shield and destroys grenades. The other most used ultimates were Fuse, Ballistic, Horizon, Revenat, Wattson and Caustic. And you might wonder, what about the Recon characters? Welloo... They're not that useful, I was going to consider Crypto but I remembered the golden shield and everyone can revive fast and can't die until everyone dies soeeee... No good.

Idk when they changed Bloodhound's ult cuz I wasn't playing but wasn't it like scan CD decrease,speed,heat vision and additional time from knocks.Now it's a white raven scouting like an AC eagle instead of the skill recharge.

I dont think every ukt has to be team oriented, theres ults like revs that help engage and have your anchor in the backline

21:20 the gas also goes REALLY well with bangalore's smoke

Yoooo Macro thanks for featuring me in the vid!!! Best gift I could get before I leave for basic training tomorrow. Love you Macro❤

bloodhounds ult also has the white raven mechanic built that activates after every knock. so its levels about D ranking

Its worth pointing out Caustics' Ult effectively halfs peoples hit points also, as it attacks health directly meaning you are 100 hp max inside a Caustic Ult. Add to that it works on everyone inside the Ult the same way with no max limit, you can completely dominate third parties in the right situations. Pop one of these bad boys at the feet of a couple teams going at it, there is no greater power than that. Its better than a gibby Ult in that it pops immediatly and there is no red flash or safe area inside the mist, its just a completely toxic area that kills, blinds and slows everything inside it, leaving you and now your team free to calmly pick them off one by one.

as someone who plays Rampart a lot, I'd put Sheila a little lower on the tier list. the spin-up time has been the deciding factor of the fight so many times. also with the loud volume and the laser, it's so easy for enemies to see and hear that you have Sheila at the ready and then work around it, either waiting for you to un-ready yourself or forcing you to change position by using their own ults, throwing grenades, etc. however, i will say that there's no better feeling than when an enemy is hiding behind a door trying to heal, feeling oh so smug, only to bring out Sheila and just destroy them through the door 😂 also i've noticed a lot more people playing Rampart lately along with Wattson, so friendly tip: my friend is a Rampart main and i'm a Wattson main, and whenever we play together, the walls can block my pylon's AOE if we're indoors, so you have to be really careful. however the Wattson/Rampart combo can be super deadly if used correctly. being able to protect Rampart from abilities and grenades makes her EXTREMELY lethal. being able to help Rampart hold a position without being forced out of it is the key. it never gets old to see Horizon, Fuse, Mad Maggie, Bangalore, Gibraltar, Caustic etc. panic when they realize their ult and/or tactical has just been wasted.

You also got to think about the charge times. Like octanes jump pads obviously not as great of a movement tool as pathfinders zipline, but you do get a faster charge time

He is understimating the "selfish" ultimates because most players play with randoms and randoms are stinky so trying to be a team player with them usually dont help it only hurts so i usually go with the selfish ults unless im playing a stack

I let you cook and you burned my kitchen down

What I wished you talked more about octanes his is good for getting your team out of a sticky situation and rotations I would've but it one high but thats just my thoughts

As far as Mad Maggie's ultimate, I tend to use it to get to zone when I'm particularly far away. Or, I try to spam those speed boosters in the killbox to spam my shotty/smg combo. Edit: as far as Bloodhound goes, I'd argue B tier because I'm colorblind.

You can use lifeline ult for cover if timed right

YOU SHOULD DO PASSIVE NEXT

@macro I might be wrong but doest bloodhound's ult make your reloads faster?

I agree with this list except for bloodhound, personally while I’m playing with a bloodhound who uses his ult, while ik that it does nothing for me that ultimate gives me lots of confidence in winning that fight

13:15 shouldve mentioned that when someone gets marked by vantage sniper your mates deal extra dmg for a short time

Seer ult is definitely a B or higher even in a void with it still being imo the best ult for recon with team info

As an Ash main, this is the first time I've seen my character out of C-D tier since launch.... It's a good day :‚)

I hope lifeline ultimate change to 35%faster movement and revive mode, it's good to cover teammate when them down

Maggie always gettin the short sticky wicky 😔

Rampart: Every problem has a solution and that solution is more bullets

I agree with this alt tier list. Tier list certified 😤

Though I do agree that Wraith's portal is extremely good. You also gotta remember that you're only judging ultimates, and Wraith's ultimate without her tactical is basically you begging to get killed while placing the portals, unless there aren't enemies around of course. I also have to disagree on Ash's placement a little. If it's all about creating space, no one can do it better than a teleporter. So personally, I would put her in low A but above Fuse.

Balistics should be above vantage. Vantage can only scan and provide a damage buff. Baislitic can provide movement buff for the team, unlimited ammo, faster reload and if you had a sniper for the 3rd weapon, can essentially replicate vantage sniper without the scan and damage buff. Even so it doesnt require one person to be behind the rest to pull off. Vantage requires range, balistic can be with the team

The amount of people me and the boys have killed with the fuse/horizon/gibby ultimate combo is crazy

Ok one thing is octaine ult can block people pushing and be used for movement

Octane's ultimate used to trap people indoors is quite a relevant thing that you didn't mention.

9:45 it works against dummies, you just have to be with a fully broken shield for it to recharge 11:20 wouldn't really say that valks ult is bad now, since if you have your ult and evac, you have more scanning possibility since the passive scans, but if we talk about ult only, its still actually better than evac, people can shoot evac, use it after you and keep up with you, and also it makes hella noise and everyone can see it, so id still say her ult is still really good, just not as good as it used to be 13:00 it is underrated and strong af, this sniper has fastest bullet speed and bullet size in the game, its almost better than kraber, but, if we count that the mark buff dmg, it can be actually better than kraber, maybe not as good support as other ults, but its still a cool thing to have, prolly A no questions 14:20 tbh, having epic shields at the start of the game and having additional batteries/meds in endgame is real good, i wouldn't say its THAT bad 20:00 rampart in S... Just no Fair tl but some are rated really bad

The amount of endgames I have won because of Newcastle shields when I was put in an otherwise indefensible position probably outweighs that of any other character

as a lifeline main with 4k kills i love her ultimate. it gives lots of batteries so its rly good

the fact u place Watson high when crypto is literally her kryptonite is kinda crazy p.s. everytime a horizon ult hits the gound i be broken before it even starts

Thank you for doing my Sheila the right way.

Remember that octane's jump pad comes back in like 90s

Do Titanfall finishers! They’re so cool

did you include hitbox size into your rankings? because pathfinder and revenant are severely punished by their giant hitboxes

I don't agree with his lifeline take I have used it in so many situations to get amour we needed the attachments can be kinda useful the the heals are good if you didn't get any big heals from looting/fighting especially early game late game is when it's usefulness drops off significantly

As a bloodhound main, I do agree bloodhounds ultimate since the season 16’s changes has been very selfish, a way I thought that would add more team utility to it would be with every knock your scan cool-down will be cut down by half or even fully cut down, tell me what you think in the comments!

Isn't Lifeline getting the Revenant treatment next Season? I'm hyped for that. She was my first main

What about the white raven on bloodhound

As a bloodhound main I am absolutely sobbing right now you just gave me clinical depression and my life will never be the same

Ballistics ultimate has helped me win fights i never would think i would win which is now hes my main and not oftane anymore SPEED AND UNLIMITED AMMO come on now definitely not C tier

As a Wattson main, yes ❤

I'm pretty such Maggie ball destroys gibby bubbles? I'm not too sure.

As a mad Maggie main I am disappointed her ultimate might not be good for anything specific but it is an east way to break New Castles tactical and ultimate, good for infiltrating teams that are camping a small building, stuns enemy’s and blasts them which is good if they are hiding behind a rock, and a few other things that I won’t say because this is already to long and my thumbs are numb from all of this typing but why am I still typing if I said my thumbs are numb well now I’m typing with my index fingers but still though I still thing mad Maggie’s ultimate is good if you know how to use it right and now this is all I have to say

seer ult in F is crazy

Bruh i main fuze his ult is b at best. People run through it easily and you cant get to them to take advantage of the stun effect because it slows and damages you as well so you have to run around at which point they have recovered. It can be very useful to create space sometimes but very meh

Mirage ultimate, on top BABY!!

Finally, some appreciation for wattsons ult

so glad my boy caustic getting some love

I’m glad finally someone is acknowledging how good Wattson is bro

This hurts considering I have been playing seer exclusively since season 10

I hope mirage never gets reborn, I love his kit because of how unique it is. It could use a few buffs though

if wattson ult wasn’t put in S tier me and macro would need to have some words

Horizon+caustic+gibby ult in the final ring fill be nightmare

So is it just my opinion that caustic’s ultimate is one of the worst in the game? Doesn’t last for very long, extremely easy to avoid, 5-6 damage guaranteed if you land it directly at their feet

i came in just to see where Sheila (ramparts minigun) is. im not disapointed at all

Can you do the Finnishers tier list again a lot more have been added

"Bloodhound's ultimate is kinda selfish, it doesn't help the team" then "Revenant's is very similar to Bloodhound's" instant B tier compared to the Bloodhound's, of which Revenant's relys on aim of which had Ballistics put down.

Put horizons in F TIER. I can’t remember the last time a horizon ultimate has done anything to hurt my team. Me or my teammates destroy it within seconds. It actually helps me, since I know that the enemy team will be pushing in because of that ult. Get that crap out of here.

I'm checking out after C tier Octane. Jump pad was the only way you could've gotten use out of Old Rev's totem. Its flexibility deserves at least B

1) I've had the most success using Bangalore's ult to cause CHAOS AND CONFUSION 2) Fuse's is hit or miss.... if it hits, it's deadly 3) I agree, Ash's ult is good but could use some extra range (especially when compared to Pathfinder); I think they need to lessen the CD 4) Maggie's is downright terrible. I agree that it's not good at any particular thing. D might even be generous! 5) The Gunslinger dude's ult is pretty boring to me, but it's not bad. C is a good spot! 6) The buff to Pathfinder's ult range is insane. I don't think he even needed it but I'll take it lol 7) The minor buffs to Wraith's ult were well thought out. I agree, A or S tier 8) Octane's jumppad is indeed weak compared to other movement ults; they should shorten the CD even further to make up for it 8) Bloodhound's ult has always felt pretty "meh" to me. I've never gotten much utility out of it. I agree with D! 9) Rev's ult reminds me of Reyna from Valorant. It's good if you're good! 10) I actually think Horizon's ultimate should be stronger. The range should be increased! 11) Valk's I'd probably give A or B tier. First ranking I disagree with, it's too useful 12) Crypto's ult does nottttt deserve A tier I'm sorry lmao. He was only good during the Wattson meta 13) Who plays Seer? 14) Vantage.... I agree, it's just a sniper. But always having one is REALLY useful. B at most, but C is fair. 15) Gibby Gibby Gibby.... surprised they haven't nerfed it more. I regularly get kills with it 16) Lifeline's ult has been F tier for ages. Increasing the drop time to 6 seconds is too little too late. Easy F tier especially compared to Loba's ult 17) It have a very short CD helps him a lot. C is about right. 18) Loba is my main so I'm biased buttttt S-tier ult, especially before the CD nerf. Unlimited ammo. Huge time saver. 19) WHAT! No way Macro. NC has one of the worst ultimates in the game. Easy F tier. It's useless. Putting it above Valk is ridiculous 20) Conduit has a stronger defensive ultimate than all the defense legends..... 21) Cat's is pretty solid. A little situational. But overall it gets easy utility. Solid A. 22) Rampart's is difficult in such a fast-paced game. If this was Valorant, yes, S-tier. But it's Apex lol. Fuse is a direct counter 23) I've never cared for Wattson's ultimate. It's good for stopping ordinances but other than that what does it actually do? 24) S+ tier?!? Dammmmmmn. As an ex-Caustic main, you're making me consider going back to Gassy Daddy :)

I use lifeline ult as cover

I agree but I would put Loba and S tier

Sheila relies heavily on your ability to read a fight. Being in the right place at the right time can be absolutely devastating.

Personally, I’d say top of S tier is a minimum for the minigun. I’d probably even go as far as putting Shiela in S+

They did my boi seer dirty with the nerf

I believe ash’s portal doesn’t go to windows anymore

hey macro, when them paladins videos dropping man :(

Don't really agree with Bloodhound, yes it's selfish but not totally as Revenant Ult for exemple... something you didn't mention is that everytime you use it you send a white crow to indicate to your teammates the nearest enemy or squad. It's like scanning a white crow instantly, it's underrated but it's good and not selfish. Placing it below Octane's ult is weird honestly.

Finally someone put respect on caustics name

As a Caustic main, agreed
