Everyone Bullies Revenant, The New Apex Legends Season 4 Character
By ESR on 5 februarie 2020
Being the new kid on the block is already pretty tough, what with cliques having already been formed. It can feel impossible to break into an established friend group. And, of course, it’s even more difficult if people are being a jerk about it and you’re being bullied. So it’s really uncool for the legends in Apex Legends to treat Season 4: Assimilation‘s new character, Revenant, like he’s a nobody that doesn’t matter. Words hurt.
After killing Forge and taking his place in the battle royale, Revenant was featured in a cinematic trailer that showcased his origins as a bounty hunter for the Syndicate (the group that runs the Apex Games). In the trailer, Revenant’s target asks him who he is and Revenant responds with “Death.” A strange nickname to be sure, but we can’t judge someone for wanting to sound cool.

But Revenant’s new teammates use his nickname to make fun of him. And they’re just being mean to be mean too! Of the lot, Wraith and Octane are the worst (though Bangalore and Bloodhound are pretty mean too). When playing as Revenant, my Wraith teammate helped kill someone and then turned to me to say, “Pain…death…nothing phases me.” Thanks Wraith. Thanks for belittling the strength of the new kid.
And then there’s Octane, who’s an even bigger jerk. “They say death catches up to everyone,” the adrenaline junkie says, “Well, he can certainly try.” Octane is even referring to death as a “he” in this quip. You can almost hear the smirk behind his words. He’s obviously being mean to Revenant. The speedster has more lines like this too, like “Death keeps chasing me, but I keep him in my rearview.” Glad to know that you’re leaving your teammate behind to die when all he wants is to be friends and fight by your side Octane. You’re the worst.
At least Caustic is nice. Whenever I’m playing Revenant and Caustic is the jumpmaster, he screams, “I feel most alive when rapidly approaching my death.” That’s so cute that he refers to Revenant as “his” and that he loves jumping into his arms. I bet you that they’re dating.
With the start of Season 4, Apex Legends finally finishes out Year 1 and heads into Year 2. Assimilation adds way more to the game than Revenant–there’s the new Sentinel sniper rifle, major map changes to World’s Edge, and a battle pass. The battle pass offers over 100 rewards, including cool-looking legendary character skins, sick aerial emotes, and lore-filled loading screens.
