Mad Maggie

Rebel Warlord

Mad Maggie is an Assault Legend. She was introduced in Season 12 and is locked from the base game. She can be unlocked using digital currency: either 12,000 Legend Tokens or 750 Apex Coins.

A Legend that makes enemies scatter and overwhelms them with brute force. Maggie’s tactical ability, Riot Drill, forces her enemies out of cover by spitting fire through the other side of anything it latches on to, and her passive, Warlord's Ire, allows her to move quickly with shotguns, and track anyone she shoots with them. Her ultimate ability, Wrecking Ball, lays a trail of Speed Boosting, Fortifying pads in its wake to instigate any battle at high speed.
