Bangalore is a legend that’s often the go to choice for many Apex Legends players as she has access to some extremely useful abilities and, when utilized properly, can turn even the worst of situations in her squad’s favor. Bangalore definitely has a bit of a learning curve as it’s easy to mess up her abilities from time to time but, once mastered, Bangalore will certainly net you quite a bit of wins thanks to her extremely powerful skillset.

Bangalore’s passive, Double Time, is an ability that’ll enable you to get out of sticky situation. It’s a fairly straightforward passive that’ll give you a movement speed boost if you get shot at while sprinting and this boost will enable you to easily escape enemy line of fire and get yourself to cover. This might not be the most exciting or innovative passive ability in the game but it’s definitely among the most effective and you’re going to see its effectiveness first hand when you get spotted by an opponent and they start firing shots at you.

Smoke Launcher, Bangalore’s tactical ability, is perhaps one of the most useful tools in the game as it’s available for use quite often and it’s extremely versatile in terms of how it can be utilized. You can use this ability in many aggressive ways such as to rush your opponents while covering your advance but, on the other hand, the ability has many defensive uses as well such as providing cover for a downed teammate as they’re revived.

Smoke Launcher has a fairly long range as well so, no matter how far you need to throw a smoke, you’ll usually be able to do so. It’s also worth highlighting that the smoke canisters themselves do 10 damage upon direct impact and, while this might not be a huge number, it can actually help you out quite a bit during the early game when you don’t have a weapon as you can melee three times for 90 damage and deal the final 10 damage safely through the smoke canister.

Finally we have Bangalore’s ultimate, Rolling Thunder. Rolling Thunder calls in a full-fledged artillery strike that’ll damage and disorient anyone who’s caught in the line of fire. There are many different ways to utilize this ability but one of the most effective things ways to use it is by throwing it after you’ve knocked an enemy down. Most squads will usually try their best to revive their fallen teammates but, if there’s an entire artillery strike coming down on them, they’ll probably think multiple times before attempting the revive.

All said and done, Bangalore is an extremely useful character that’s beloved by the Apex community for many reasons and we’re certain that the aforementioned advice will help you out quite a bit as you try your best to secure as many wins as possible while playing Bangalore.
