While the current season of Apex Legends enters its second half, a new leak may have given fans a glimpse at what’s to come in the next one. Datamining leaks are nothing new for Apex Legends, and this one may have revealed the abilities currently in development for Loba; a character who is rumoured to be the next upcoming Legend.
Loba’s Abilities According to the Latest Apex Legends Leak
Of course, like all leaks of this nature, this new information should be taken with a grain of salt. Even if it proves to be accurate, these abilities are likely still in development. As such, they may well change somewhat between now and release. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that Respawn is acutely aware of how often datamining leaks occur. Indeed, they designed the character of Forge almost entirely to fool dataminers. While it seems unlikely that they would do exactly the same thing again, it’s worth bearing in mind that they could.
The new datamining leak, which comes courtesy of an Apex Legends dataminer known as iLootGames, has seemingly revealed four of Loba’s abilities. It certainly seems as though Loba will bring a very different style of play to Apex Legends; one which, thanks to her role as a thief, focuses on teleportation and loot acquisition. Her first ability, Burglar’s Best Friend, allows her to throw a disc and then teleport to it. Supply for Demand, meanwhile, allows her to choose a type of loot and then see that sort of loot through nearby walls.
Loba’s third ability is Eye for Quality, which seems to be similar to Supply for Demand. It allows her to see through walls to find loot. Presumably, Eye for Quality will be a short-duration ability which allows her to see all sorts of loot, whereas Supply for Demand may be long-term but only shows one type of loot. Finally, Black Market Boutique allows Loba to set down a gadget that will steal all the loot in an area. This is presumably her Ultimate ability, although it’s unclear how exactly it will work.
For now, Apex Legends fans will have to wait and see whether Loba actually is the next Legend. If she is, then she is most likely to arrive with the launch of Season 5. As such, it could still be another couple of months before Respawn reveals anything concrete.
