In Apex Legends the new character Seer has now been introduced with a stylish trailer and a reveal of his skills and role in the game. It can already be said that the new character will be extremely useful, though not all players are pleased with that.
What can Seer actually do? In the upcoming Season 10 of Apex Legends, there will be a new hero known as “Seer”. This means “seer” and the name is programmatic. The new character can primarily do one thing: track enemies and reveal them to the team. His skills are as follows:
- Seer’s passive ability is a heartbeat sensor that he attaches to his weapons. This allows him to detect enemies at close range, even through walls. However, you have to aim with your weapon.
- His active ability is a swarm of drones. It flies around, reveals enemies, and tracks them for some time.
- Seer’s ultimate creates a large sphere of drones that reveal everything inside, as long as you don’t move very slowly.
You can see Seer and his abilities in the new trailer. As is customary with Apex Legends, it is once again a true masterpiece:
Seer will become very powerful, but not everyone likes that
How useful could Seer become? Seer’s skills sound very useful in theory. After all, the relatively similar character Bloodhound is popular in the current season, and scouting is something that every team can benefit from. Especially Seer’s ultimate could often make the difference between victory and defeat in the arena and in the cramped conditions of the endgame. Seer is likely to quickly climb to the top of the tier lists in Apex Legends Season 10.
How is the character received by the fans? While most fans acknowledge the usefulness of Seer, some are annoyed that the developers prefer to introduce a superior new scouting character instead of buffing the existing heroes of this class. Especially the character Crypto, who works with remote-controlled drones, is criticized by many players as he is only difficult to play meaningfully.
Hey, we know Crypto is unplayable without a full stack, so we’re bringing a better version instead of giving him a buff.

Hey guys, we’ve heard you want some quality-of-life changes for Crypto, so we made a completely new legend to fill the gap.

Other players, on the other hand, hate constantly being revealed by Bloodhound and dread that another character with such skills will be added soon:
Hey guys, we’ve heard you’re tired of being scanned by Bloodhound, so we added another character who always knows where you are.

Others would rather have another healer, as this role is currently filled only by Lifeline. But how the new character will ultimately be received and how he will fit into the game’s meta will only be seen at the start of Season 10 on August 3, 2021. Will it be as good as Season 9?
