Pathfinder is a Legend that is free and unlocked in the base game.
Pathfinder is a Recon Legend very useful on movement and rotation. His Grappling Hook ability allows you to reach higher places and to tactically reposition while his Insider Knowledge and Zipline Gun abilities allow him to support your squad by letting them know the position of the next ring and provide a zipline on-the-fly to allow quick escapes and to reposition respectively.
Lore
Pathfinder is the picture of optimism, despite his circumstances. A MRVN (Mobile Robotic Versatile eNtity) modified to specialize in location scouting and surveying, he booted up thirty-three years ago in an abandoned laboratory with no idea who created him or why. With only his MRVN designation to hint at his identity, Pathfinder set off in search of his creator by stowing on merchant ships and traveling everywhere between Solace to Gaea for a couple of years. After one of his legs broke due to someone attempting to steal said leg, he took odd jobs to gain information about his maker and to get the money to fix his leg.[2]
In 2725, while working as a waiter in Malta, he met Victor Maldera who arrested him after inadvertently killing one of the restaurant's customers. Maldera took a look at his logs and saw that Pathfinder was able to witness, and have video evidence, of Alexander Nox's escape from the Humbert Labs. Maldera, who was obsessively pursuing the case, wanted to get a copy of the footage, it was during this that Pathfinder had the first actual clue to one of his creators, a certain Amélie P. The resulting scuffle (due to him witnessing a mafia member murdering another person) had him incapacitated for an unknown amount of time, although he was eventually activated again[3] and promptly resumed his search.[4]
It was during a chance meeting with bartender Elliott Witt in Solace City that he learned about the Apex Games.[5] It has been four years since then, and he has learned a lot from his travels and his experiences in the games, but he was nowhere close to finding his creator than he was before.[6] That was until he found a depreciated MRVN unit on Olympus, and with help from Lifeline, Octane and Gibraltar, find the required battery to power it up.[7] The now-activated MRVN played an audio log that gave Pathfinder more clues about his creator, or creators. With notes from the audio logs on-hand he went on a quest to look for answers from his friends, the Legends.[8]
Abilities
Grappling Hook
Tactical | Q/// | |
---|---|---|
Grappling Hook | ||
Description | Grapple to get to out-of-reach places quickly. | |
Cooldown | 10–30 seconds |
- Throws a grappling hook that will attach to the first solid object it hits (including players and ziplines) and pull you towards it.
- The maximum length of the grappling hook is 21 meters. There is a circle on Pathfinder's crosshair that turns blue to indicate when the surface you're pointing at is within grapple range.
- By aiming to the side, you can swing in that direction instead of being pulled straight in. The grapple will disconnect after swinging to a 90° angle, and you will keep your momentum.
- The grappling hook can also attach to players, pulling the two of you together.
- The cooldown's length scales based on the distance Pathfinder travels, with more emphasis placed on horizontal movement. It stops increasing when Pathfinder's velocity returns to standard sprinting speed or after 5 seconds, whichever comes first.
- If you grapple onto a zipline, you will immediately start riding it when you reel yourself in.
- The grapple can attach to Crypto's Surveillance Drone, Loba's Black Market Boutique and Wattson's Interception Pylon.
- The grapple will cancel if you get hit by Revenant’s Silence.
- When your hook connects to a surface, you will get a slight push forward towards the direction you are aiming.
- If thrown at an object while maintaining momentum in a different direction, you will swing while being pulled towards the object, allowing for tactical repositioning.
- Jumping just after the grappling hook reaches a surface will grant you a bit of extra momentum.
- While being an extremely useful tool to reach high positions or just move faster on the map, it can also be used for flanking and evading opponents, which can often turn fights in your favor.
- Keep in mind that both you and your grabbed opponent can continue shooting while the hook is retracting.
- The animation can be canceled at any time by pressing the crouch button or the attack button.
- Grappling a Death Box combined with a Launch Pad will cause the trap to fly upward indefinitely with the player still grappling it.
- Sliding before grappling will give the player 100% accuracy with any weapon in mid-air.
Insider Knowledge
Passive | ||
---|---|---|
Insider Knowledge | ||
Description | Scan a Survey Beacon to reduce the cooldown of Zipline Gun. | |
- Using a survey beacon decreases Pathfinder’s Zipline Gun cooldown by 10 seconds.
- Up to 4 rings means the cooldown can get reduced from 120 seconds down to 80.
- Scanning a survey beacon also fully charges Pathfinder’s ultimate.
- This is good if you need a quick Zipline Gun charge after you just fired a zipline, and don’t want to use an Ultimate Accelerant.
Zipline Gun
Ultimate | Z/+/+/+ | |
---|---|---|
Zipline Gun | ||
Description | Create a zipline for everyone to use. | |
Charge time | 120 minutes |
- Creates a zipline between your current location and a target location, which you, your teammates, and enemies can use to move quickly between both points.
- The other end of the zipline can be attached to any surface, allowing them to lead to places that players can't stand.
- The maximum length of the zipline is 100 meters. Up to 4 ziplines can be active on the map at once.
- The Train that moves on the tracks on World's Edge can destroy the zipline.
- Can zoom in about 1.5x while preparing a zipline.
- The zipline is very useful for getting to usually unreachable locations, escaping an unwinnable fight, or just progress quickly on the map (to escape the ring, for example). Ziplines can be deployed to most surfaces, however certain structures (frame of the map) may not be used. You cannot use them to reach "out of the map" zones.
- In an emergency, you can interrupt the use of a zipline by selecting any other item (weapons/healing) or ability (Grappling Hook).
- Remember foes can use them too, don't get cornered or ambushed by your own zipline!
- You can also use this ability to set up an ambush for an enemy squad after your escape, very quickly changing the tables dramatically.
- Remember, a zip line follows a straight line. DO NOT send zip line straight into battle. Going head-on will get you killed.
- If you think your team is in a dangerous position, you can plant a zipline as an escape route. Even though your team might not use it immediately, you can use it as a quick escape route.
- Make use of Pathfinder's passive Insider Knowledge to cooldown zipline faster.
Recon
Perk | ||
---|---|---|
Recon | ||
Description | Scan a Survey Beacon to reveal the Ring's next location. | |
- Allows you to access the 12 survey beacons available on the map in any given match to determine the circle location after the currently marked circle.
- The interaction with the survey beacon takes 7 seconds, during which you are vulnerable.
- A survey beacon can be used again when the next round starts.

Trivia
- Pathfinder's abilities are derived from Titanfall 2's Grapple tactical ability. His interest in high-fives is a reference to a MRVN who would attempt to high-five players on the dropship, only to become sad when it receives none.
- Pathfinder is one of the only Legends in the game with a hitbox that does not follow the small, large, or medium rigs.[9] Pathfinder was originally on the large rig (like Caustic and Gibraltar), but because he is so skinny, Pathfinder would get hit by bullets that look like they should miss him. As a result, he was given a unique tall but thin hitbox to better match his model. This dramatically increased his win rate and he had to be given Low Profile to compensate.[10] Pathfinder's hitbox was increased in Season 7 and Low Profile was later removed.
- Pathfinder has many interactions with Bloodhound's raven Artur, who attacks him. In the Season 3 Launch Trailer, Bloodhound kills Pathfinder "for Artur," which could either be for the raven, or for Bloodhound's late uncle that the raven is named after. Bloodhound and their uncle were from a tribe that spurned technology.
- Pathfinder is currently the only legend to switch legend classes. Up until Season 4, he was originally classified as a Support Legend but is now classified as a Recon Legend.
- When asked if Pathfinder ever had sex, community manager Jay Frechette vaguely (and likely jokingly) replied that Pathfinder has been around for a long time and may have stories.[11] However, writer Tom Casiello tweeted that he disagreed with the idea of Pathfinder being with anyone romantically.[12]
- Pathfinder is not capable of lying. Originally there was a segment about it for "The Broken Ghost" but it got cut due to length.[13]
- In the "Family Portrait" comic, Pathfinder goes to a party wearing his SRVN MRVN skin, making that skin canonical. When it was pointed out that Pathfinder changed his entire body just to go to a party, writer Tom Casiello stated the inclusion of the skin was debated internally. Ultimately, "it's just fun" won over logic and Tom asked people not to dwell on it or overthink it.[14]
