Hi - sound designer for Alter's abilities here 👋 The portals were purposefully designed to be as ear-catching as possible, they should be noticeable enough to pick out of the mix even in tense fights. That said there's always a chance for bugs, I'll be watching, listening, and playing on launch day to catch any issues, listen to feedback, and get some tweaks in the first patch if needed! Enjoy the portal mayhem 🥳
whats wierd is when i here more of here ability I don't compare her to wraith I think shes more like loba in the since you wouldn't teleport into a room of people because you have that 1 second where you have to put your band back on her pasive is basically a one time loba ult in a death box and her ultimate is basically a giant loba tac for the whole squad
Dont worry, most players will still play her terribly. Look at lifeline, been there since launch and 1/10 players who play her are anything but garbage
@@philledzoneit’s possible they already though of this and went ahead and made it kinda like Loba ult in which you can’t loot from it but for Alter you can’t travel into vault spaces such as the one on Olympus or the vaults on KC or World’s Edge.
I wonder if her tactical is going to be bugged for the first half of the season like Loba’s ring when it was first introduced, just simply not working at random areas of the map
As a Loba main, her Bracelet has been broken far after she’s been introduced. Back then whenever a new season came out, her bracelet would magically stop working.
I used to main Loba when she first came out but switched to Valk on her release. Loba was always breaking and each time took them forever to fix it. And then it broke again 💀
for anyone playing mixtape whenever u upgrade ur ratings u get ur ult back mostly on control this is usefull because u can keep getting ur ult and keep tp ing back to the zone u dont own
You know what would be cool? A portal 2 style portal, opaque but you can throw stuff or shoot through it. Would have to be an ult, but I think that'll be pretty cool
When cover is limited, you should be able to create a portal on a specific piece of cover you know the enemy will want to use. This essentially denies them the cover, as trying to hide behind it will automatically take the portal.
id use alter's ult to grab a teammates banner in the zone, like, ill place it down then my octane can just run without worrying about being knocked because the ult is there
Most people cant use legends early on. Its so hard watching people play legends before release. Somehow, these guys play games for a living but have no imagination and can rarely use new abilities early on. her kit is showing some insane flanking ability and revive assistance. Thank you for the video it details a lot!
Reminds me of Maggie’s drill but more dangerous. Final circle players hiding behind a wall or rock and using her tactical to move players to the other side potentially killing them.
Good tip for her ult is if you plan out a situation well enough before hand you can use her ult for flanks or as a repositioning tool to get better positions/hight advantage it's also good for helping your team catch up/regroup if you get seperated her tactical also has great repositioning and rotations also for flanks honestly playing her as a trickster and quickly re positioning in certain situations can be very powerful she's very quickly become my favourite character
All they need to do is change the way you destroy her void nexus. You cannot say thank you or you're welcome when your ult has been placed as pressing down will automatically destroy her void nexus.
Hey can u maybe get the attention of the devs on the fact square does 5 different things on console and currently you can’t use her passive or take her ult portal back while holding a door because the game forces you to open and close the door your trying to hold
If I die in game, so what, k.d. means nothing to me 🤷♂️ If I want to make dumb portal, I will make dumb portal, I'm gonna die a lot on Olympus and Kings Canyon for sure with this ability :P
She's going to be a low pick character after a couple weeks. That just has a couple random people that are God like with her. I was playing today with rampart and was beaming people with Sheila as they were coming out of a portal but they took right to my location without thinking
Can't wait for everyone to say shes bad on launch and then after receiving a nerf she will suddenly be good and one of the top picked legends. It's crazy how difficult it is for some people to see the value in a new legends kit until some pro starts playing them.
It’s true that her portal is multi dimensional and can appear anywhere in lore however in game to not make it too similar to wrath or other teleporting legends it is one dimensional making it a good transport but very limited
Alter is so OP, she can do crazy rotations, kidnap, run away. If I were to resume her strongest point it's that she can reposition anyone (enemies, teammates and herself).
She a pretty good character couldbhave done woth a new gum battle pass is very poor not for me this season Did they make broken moon bigger having a hard time finding teams probably cos its new !
managed to kill an octane who was running by placing a tp in the path he was going, weaving in and out of cover, and managed to form him into the storm, something about cylinders seems to mess with the reading of tp?
Is the tactical and her ult destructible because if tactical portal isn't u just place it in front of a door end circle and a team is just gonna have a bad time if its a vertical building, even porting them further into zone in some cases.
Alter can also break into loot vaults and those weapon bunkers on kings canyon. However it will sound the alarm like when loba steals from a vault with black market.
I like how he tries to blame his loss against faide on his portal placement but we can all literally see that he was getting shot at by some dude offscreen which is what really triggered the loss
the portal is super Broken when someone is on a door as u can instantly pull out ur gun in the real apex and not the test play so I found that it is pretty use full to use ult someone as safepoint and use Portal aggressively
guys you heard it here first. 'GibrAltar' I reckon Gibby and Altar would make a great team coz you can push fights with almost no consequences if you get knocked or cracked gibby can bubble and the whole team can teleport back. maybe combined with gib ult to cover?
Do teammates have a choice of going back with her ult or does everyone go back when she uses it? The apex highlight for her showed everyone porting at the same time.
@kevingecko1006 but to able to track enemies on a deathbox was always clutch when you're hunting for skills. I think ash and alter would be a dope squad. With a Caustic to lay traps by a portal or lifeline to keep em going
Question is... can you avoid ring damage by just spamming going in and out of the portal? I feel like that's going to be busted in end zone situations in ranked or comp
Well I would hope that would have been addressed. It is season 21 after all. Not like those early seasons where you could use Lifeline's heal bot and survive outside the ring.
Gaming merchant: “a sound will play for the portal entrance, exit and exit out of phase”
Apex: “no, it won’t”
😅
Even watching the video I never heard the sound for exiting phase. Just, like, the sound *ending* maybe? Lol

@@jhilmansound Awesome, thanks for sharing that info to the community, looking forward to trying Alter tomorrow!
@@Thegamingmerchant2:20 I don’t just tap any legends passive not even caustic 😂
I remember when leaks said this was Ash's ability. Good times

seems like alters ult is a lot like sombras from overwatch
You should be able to shoot through the portal!
I thought we were getting a new city map in season 21.
What is alters sexuality? I only play lbgt characters
bruh
Shes an abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
"Don't push stupidly. "
Sir that's all I know how to do
The problem is I do not know what count as stupid.
I hit one shot, therefore he is "one shot", I push now
@@SirRodhood That's so real
when you realize your opponents are also watching this
I was just thinking the same thing whilst going through the comments…😂🤣
Dont worry, most players will still play her terribly. Look at lifeline, been there since launch and 1/10 players who play her are anything but garbage
Revive me lifeline, lifeline revive meeee
Does the portal work on rampart walls or Newcastle ult?
It looks like the same “depth” mechanic as Maggie’s drill, which does work on Rampart/Newcastle walls.
Pretty sure it will since they are both under 20 m thick
Not sure! Also not sure if it works on doors, we'll have to wait until launch to find out!
@@Thegamingmerchant So what was the point in you playing if you dont test these things out ??
@@Emzy23relax
I wanna see how she interacts with Worlds Edge! Bloodhound Trial rewards and the loot vaults!
Well they’re not death boxes so she probably won’t be able to interact with them
@@dielol8172she can face through vault walls?
@@dielol8172 Nah I mean like portalling into them
@@philledzoneit’s possible they already though of this and went ahead and made it kinda like Loba ult in which you can’t loot from it but for Alter you can’t travel into vault spaces such as the one on Olympus or the vaults on KC or World’s Edge.
or the boxes that are around nests and flyers carry in storm point
I wonder if her tactical is going to be bugged for the first half of the season like Loba’s ring when it was first introduced, just simply not working at random areas of the map
Out of map glitches
As a Loba main, her Bracelet has been broken far after she’s been introduced. Back then whenever a new season came out, her bracelet would magically stop working.
Dude her tactical was broken for like 3 years not just around when she first came out.
I used to main Loba when she first came out but switched to Valk on her release. Loba was always breaking and each time took them forever to fix it. And then it broke again 💀
@@epitome-of-sin I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers
just an FYI you can use the ultimate even if you are down so you can teleport back to safety and wait for your team to come to you!
quick tip for 200m, applyies as well to crypto drone range
200m is range of your minimap sight
That is actually useful information
for anyone playing mixtape whenever u upgrade ur ratings u get ur ult back mostly on control this is usefull because u can keep getting ur ult and keep tp ing back to the zone u dont own
I witnessed an Alter use her tac and as she entered the portal it expired and then she was stuck in the roof above me.
You know what would be cool? A portal 2 style portal, opaque but you can throw stuff or shoot through it. Would have to be an ult, but I think that'll be pretty cool
Would've been way better than what we are seeing so far
I’ve been thinking the same thing. I wish you could see/shoot/throw things through wraith portals. Would be so fun.
I agree this is wasted potential her ult actually sucks
like splitgate?
Can’t wait to jump in a random portal that somehow send you out of the map😂
When cover is limited, you should be able to create a portal on a specific piece of cover you know the enemy will want to use. This essentially denies them the cover, as trying to hide behind it will automatically take the portal.
You should be able to shoot through the portal
id use alter's ult to grab a teammates banner in the zone, like, ill place it down then my octane can just run without worrying about being knocked because the ult is there
oh yeah I didn't think about that, very clever
I used alter for the first time today, and I used the Q to escape when I am on low health, just like wrath Q but little better
It would be so funny if portal would support chucking grenades into it and sending them all the way through. :D
I mean if you didn’t get shot by a 3rd party you would have won that fight against faide
Literally the best powers in the game, would have won so many games if I had her at the time
very well done video!

Somehow, these guys play games for a living but have no imagination and can rarely use new abilities early on. her kit is showing some insane flanking ability and revive assistance. Thank you for the video it details a lot!
So the best way to use her tac is to get out the LOS of your enemy?
with legends like maggie and alter good bye to cover, there is gonna be no where to hide and heal now
Trash ultimate. S40 Alter reborn...
I'm longing to see endgames with Alter when they start kidnapping people from high ground.
Reminds me of Maggie’s drill but more dangerous. Final circle players hiding behind a wall or rock and using her tactical to move players to the other side potentially killing them.

Can you send Mirage clones into the portal?
Can you go through her portal with Wraith while she phasing?
The pull enemy out of cover move happened to me today. Alter just straight up pulled me from my safety of a box into the open XD
Imagine you stay still with your tactical and only when you see the emeny your use all nades, and only then move going through the portal 😈😂
This is going to be nasty with caustic traps and Watson pylons.
wait wait wait, can she be used to enter the weapon bunkers?!
Throwables would be cool send through portals
I like the idea of Alter Ult being able to quickly regroup teammates that have wandered off to loot or shoot or scout or just generally be separated
Alter: **seeing deathboxes and creating portal through the walls**
Ash: 🗿⚰
Mr.MERCHENT can we get like a short showing us interactions with the ult? On like doors or thrown at new castles wall or a pylon
the ideation on this one is crazy man, very nice! Love the different thumbnail style aswell
Let's hope Fade from apex mobile will come back 🙏🏼
She seems really fun! CAN'T WAIT!
The audio for her tac will either not work or it will be bass boosted to where you can't hear anything but the tac like rev
Going to be hella annoying to fight her
If I die in game, so what, k.d. means nothing to me 🤷♂️
If I want to make dumb portal, I will make dumb portal, I'm gonna die a lot on Olympus and Kings Canyon for sure with this ability :P

GM "will it be a good idea to use a wraithportal in another room full of people"
Me "yes"
GM "of course not"
Me "Confused Kawabanga noises"

Did you know that if Alter goes through wraith or Ashe portal she can see their health bars if you choose the corresponding perk?
I like how he tries to blame his loss against faide on his portal placement but we can all literally see that he was getting shot at by some dude offscreen which is what really triggered the loss
Feel she’ll be a weak legend halfway through the season. Middle of the pack, cool plays but HIGH skill!
Anyone else noticed her tactical ability actually matches her skin? Would be a so cool if respawn could do this for every legend
If apex sound worked half the time this ability would be kinda bad. But we all know how apex sound works only when it feels like it.
Having to watch a video from an ea shill to enjoy my gaming experience shows what's wrong with the gaming landscape .
the portal is super Broken when someone is on a door as u can instantly pull out ur gun in the real apex and not the test play so I found that it is pretty use full to use ult someone as safepoint and use Portal aggressively
Immediately knew this character was great the moment I warped through a floor to knock someone trying to escape me 🙏🙏
This is why short videos are going viral. I almost wanted 10 minutes in 30seconds tips. 😂
So what you’re telling me is….you gotta think with portals…..just like it’s 2011
6:05 this is a great way to chase someone running especially down below
I think its smart to travel near the enemy to get more information with your first upgrade
To know where all the peeps are
I think her Q as a linear attack, and it feels akin to battling a training dummy if the opponent trails behind you tbh
im still kind of a alter hater i feel like her tactical is really underwalming and just gets you killed more often then not
Cant wait for the next season
Those universal heirlooms look garbage tbh but that’s my opinion but man 🤦🏽
The fact you are able to 1v1 faide proves your skill that’s incredible man
So her ULT is like Revenant's old Death Totem without death protection?
Her kit always looked goated. Anyone who thinks it's bad is single braincelled
u just sayed the same damn thing for 10 mins bro the video could be finished in 2mins
Wish u can shoot or throw grenades though portal
U can push everything with the portal as long as you combine it with movement
Can someone explaing what the tier 3 upgrade "Unlimited Ult" does?
thanks so much TGM for the updates on using her ability.
Personally I feel like it'll be a better escape ability than aggressive ability
Oh. so her ult is revenant's old ult but MUCH worse! cool.
guys you heard it here first. 'GibrAltar' I reckon Gibby and Altar would make a great team coz you can push fights with almost no consequences if you get knocked or cracked gibby can bubble and the whole team can teleport back. maybe combined with gib ult to cover?
My favorite part about playing Alter is outplaying other Alters
Could just pop a nexus erytime you pass a respawn beacon
Control legend can just trap her tac she basically is mid
Can you kidnap and/or swap places with enemies on a door?
“Alter” is a strange way to spell “Cave”
*This is satire*
Cant wait for the Renaissance Booster ith the possible melee
This is revanants original ultimate just refined a bit😊
The ultimate is trash in a way cause enemies can follow you
Do teammates have a choice of going back with her ult or does everyone go back when she uses it? The apex highlight for her showed everyone porting at the same time.
you all individually get to choose when or IF to use it :)
I just realized Alters beam on her Tac pretty much makes Ash obsolete
Ash snares is the only thing not making her obsolete atm. Ash is more silent in her steps too.
and alters passive is like a shorter ash passive except it’s better because you can take stuff
@kevingecko1006 but to able to track enemies on a deathbox was always clutch when you're hunting for skills.
I think ash and alter would be a dope squad. With a Caustic to lay traps by a portal or lifeline to keep em going
just listen and it has 3 sounds one enter 2 exit 3 exit phase
Wow they really just know how to ruin this game every season great job respawn alter is broken and wingman should of not been added back to floor loot
Alter isn't that broken tbh.
Question is... can you avoid ring damage by just spamming going in and out of the portal? I feel like that's going to be busted in end zone situations in ranked or comp
Ya true but it’s only 1 sec, plus wraith can do the exact thing you’re on about but literally better.
Well I would hope that would have been addressed. It is season 21 after all. Not like those early seasons where you could use Lifeline's heal bot and survive outside the ring.
you can while its active. but after 10 seconds or something the portal will go away and theres a cooldown
Probably but the ring has a auto kill feature now so you can only stall for so long before the game just kills you
@@gm7947 if you go back and forth you can basically avoid (most) damage for about 10 seconds. Wraiths only lasts like 3 🤷🏾♂️
Still not sure how to remotely take from a deathbox
I feel like her ult is like a new version of revs old ult
