Apex Legends Incredible New Frontier Bot Concept
The Fans Apex Legends have been creating incredible designs for possible new characters to introduce into the game, and the new robot concept could be the best from the community at the moment.
Respawn Entertainment released their battle royale with a tight-knit ensemble of eight legends, adding a ninth character, Octane, at the start of Season 1, which arrived on March 19th.
In a Reddit post, user "designty" put together a mostly finished look for the legend, which they think would be a great addition to the game.
Reddit called their Legend the Mercenary and Militant Self Service Robot, or SAMMI for short. The legend would make them the second fully robotic character in the battle royale along with Pathfinder, but this design was rated for more attacks than the support robot currently in the game.
SAMMI comes with a kit that makes the bot super mobile, with a kit that can terrify him on chaotic battlefields. His passive is called Arc Sword, which increases SAMMI's melee damage and range. When SAMMI's ult is charging, the passive also gives them a 20% chance to apply a slow to the enemy on hit.
The kit includes the Dash Pack tactical ability, which simply allows SAMMI to hover in any direction with the help of a jetpack. The pack can hold up to three charges at a time, but there will be a 10 second cooldown between dashes. Ultimately, the legend of SAMMI can really derail the battle. Dubbed the Arc Cloud, the robot can release a "large stream of electrical smoke" that damages enemies that come into the machine's "close proximity".
The effect will only last 10 seconds. But with a well-planned stroke spacing, this time will allow S.A.M.M.M.I. rush to the center of the battle, deal a lot of damage and fly to a safe place.
The concept has been likened to Ronin in Titanfall 2, but this hasn't been a problem for many fans who would still like to see such a character in the game. While designty took inspiration from S.A.M.M.I. from an existing Titanfall playable character, he came up with a great picture for his design.
Respawn have long term plans for their game, and if they ever take a closer look at what their community has to offer, SAMMI should definitely be the top choice.
