“ | Right, mate. I've been knocked down, taken out, hit from both sides hundreds of times - and that was just in a one gauntlet run on a Thursday. But this... this one was a blast! Big Sister's crap of a gang blindsided me at the shop. I mean, do they think they're from the bloody Fringe Worlds? They ain't that tough. I'm just sayin' if ya gonna throw a party at least book a DJ... or a band if you prefer real music, but don't just show up causin' a ruckus and expect not to get a punch in the bloody face. Those plonkers were just pissed that I ran circles around them in the club - cleaned ‘em out pretty good if I don't say so myself. But I ain't stayin' down. Never do. And now, I'm in the bloody big leagues. No more brawlin' for coin against small-town street gangs - Ab aur nahin. My shop may be gone, but the name 'Rampart' ain't. I reckon only one thing left to do... go out, make it Legendary, and be back in time for a midnight pint. Now THAT's a Thursday.[1] |

Modded Loader increases reload speed and magazine size with LMGs and her ultimate. Her ultimate ability
Mobile Minigun "Sheila" allows her to use a minigun that she can either carry or place down, but it can only be reloaded while immobile.
Abilities[]
Amped Cover[]
Tactical | Q/![]() ![]() ![]() | |
---|---|---|
Amped Cover | ||
Description | Build a crouch-cover wall, which deploys a full-cover amped wall that blocks incoming shots and amps outgoing shots. (Max: 5) | |
Cooldown | 20 seconds |
- You can hold up to 3 charges of this ability, and gain 1 charge every 20 seconds.
- Amped Cover takes 3.6 seconds to deploy.
- During deployment, it has 120 health. Once fully deployed, it will have full health.
- The base and the amped barrier have separate health:
- The crouch base has 400 health. If this part is destroyed, the entire cover is gone.
- The amped barrier has 175 health; health is shown through 7 hexagons, each one being worth 25 health.
- Boosts the damage of outgoing shots by 20%.
- Shooting through multiple Amped Barriers will still only amp the damage once, and all Amped barriers after the first one will be destroyed.
- Non-damaged cover can be picked up to restore one charge.
- The barrier has less health at this point, and being behind it when it's destroyed leaves you vulnerable.
- Enemies are less likely to try to destroy the in-progress barrier if no one is behind it.
- Use long-range weapons to maximize its potential. Unlike other transulcent Legend's transulent shields, you can shoot throught it.
- A quick deployment provide users a safe space to confirm enemy's precise location
- For that matter, be aware of your own amped cover, especially when fights become non-linear.
- Undeploy/destroy amped portion (if not the whole wall) as needed, especially when you foresee possibility of being at the Orange-side of the wall.
- For that matter, take advantage of any temporary cover to set up, such as Gibraltar's
Dome of Protection.
- Careful not to accidentally lock your squadmates out. They can't open the doors either.
- If one is good with deploying, deploy 2 walls side-by-side will force enemy spread their damages across 2 walls and prevent one or both from being destroyed.
Modded Loader[]
Passive | ||
---|---|---|
Modded Loader | ||
Description | Increased magazine/heat capacity and faster reloads/recharge when using LMGs and the Minigun. | |
Cooldown |
- Increases magazine size by 15% and decreases reload time by 25%.
- Sheila: 8.67 seconds → 6.5 seconds
- Spitfire:
- Tactical: 2.78 → 2.09
- Full: 3.31 → 2.48
- Rampage:
- Tactical: 2.6 / 2.51 / 2.43 / 2.34 → 1.95 / 1.89 / 1.82 / 1.76
- Full: 3.33 / 3.22 / 3.11 / 3 → 2.5 / 2.42 / 2.33 / 2.25
- Devotion:
- Tactical: 2.80 / 2.71 / 2.61 / 2.52 → 2.10 / 2.03 / 1.96 / 1.89
- Full: 3.63 / 3.51 / 3.39 / 3.27 → 2.72 / 2.63 / 2.54 / 2.45
- L-STAR (when overheat): 2.45 / 2.37 / 2.29 / 2.21 → 1.84 / 1.78 / 1.71 / 1.65
Note:
- As the passive also affect the cooldown of L-Star, it becomes a very powerful weapon in the hand of a Rampart who can manage its recoil pattern,
- A Rampart player can carry 2
Purple-Stocked L-STARs, fire a quick burst, then swap to bypass the heat cooldown. Note that this swap must be done before the gun reaching critical, otherwise the full part-swap animation will be played.
- A Rampart player can carry 2
- The passive can make Rampart extremely viable in Arena mode due to the lower cost of LMG.
Mobile Minigun "Sheila"[]
Ultimate | Z/![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |
---|---|---|
Mobile Minigun "Sheila" | ||
Description | Wield a mobile minigun with a single high capacity magazine. Place it down for anyone to use as a stationary and reloadable turret (Max: 3) | |
Charge time | 2 minutes |
- When activated, Rampart carries Sheila with a single magazine of 173 rounds.
- After firing all the shots, it can either be placed down as a turret or be put away. (Holster will also count as putting it away.)
- Toggle fire-mode to start the cooldown and the % of unused ammo gets refunded as ultimate energy (max: 75%, unless Sheila was never fired).
- Use the normal weapon switch to holster Sheila; it will remain "active" with that magazine, and can be switched back with the ultimate button, until it was placed in cooldown or emplaced.
- Press "Utility action" key to switch between mobile mode and placement mode.
- While emplaced, Sheila has 350 health, a magazine size of 150 (or 173 with
Modded Loader), and infinite reserve ammo.
- Emplaced Sheila can be destroyed by pressing "Utility action" key. No charges will be refunded.
- Requires spin up of barrels before can fire. Takes 1.25 seconds. Laser sight will be activated when spinning.
- Press Aim Down Sight Button to start spinning up. As long as the barrels keep spinning, you can shoot it immediately.
- Tap the sprint button to toggle zoom:
- Mobile mode: 1.8x; Emplaced mode: 3x.
- Built-in Zoom-in Holosight will pop up when zoomed in.
- Distance to the target is shown in the holo sight like a sniper scope.
- Deals 14 damage per round, at 20 rounds/second, with a 2x headshot multiplier and no leg multiplier (full damage profile available at Rampart/Mobile Minigun "Sheila").
- Accuracy is initially poor but improves after ramping up.
- Takes two melee attacks to destroy.
- Can still open loot containers and doors; can still interact with and on zipline; can still use items on the inventory screen.
- Once the round is over, the ultimate is gone, with no charges carry over; nor would you get a discount for purchase if there are remaining charges.
- Putting it in cooldown in mid-match will not be able to bring it back out, even if there are remaining charge.
- The spin-up time of mobile mode is lengthy, as well as greatly reduces user's mobility and rotation
- The zoomed scope can easily create tunnel vision
- Emplace Sheila makes the gunner stationary, and has a limited field of view; smart enemies can easily flank an inattentive gunner.
- Because of its loud ramp-up sound and tracking laser, enemies will notice when you stay on Sheila for too long and will plan around it.
- Place Amped Cover behind Sheila so the gunner won't get shot from the back by surprise.
- Emplace Sheila near chokepoints to force enemies into your line of fire, especially by the Ring-closing in.
- Emplaced Sheila's reload time is very long and leaves you vulnerable. Sometimes you'll have to use just one magazine and abandon it.
Lore[]
“ | Rampart is a blue-collar, private business owner who just needs a big gun and a backpack full of scrap metal to get by in the dangerous, wild west world of the Outlands. Before opening her popular modding shop on Gaea, Ramya Parekh (Rampart for short) made a name for herself in the underground gauntlet circuit. Parekh climbed to the top showcasing pure skill using her custom-modded gear. She began taking jobs from smugglers, Syndicate members, and everyone in between. Some say it ain’t great unless it’s got “Rampart” written on it.
Parekh never shied away from letting people know how great she was, or better yet, how bad they were. Maybe that’s what led a group of assailants to ambush her at her shop one night. Her business burned down and she was left with nothing -- except an Apex Card. For Parekh, the Apex card is more than just an invitation to compete - it's a sign that she may have lost her shop, but she didn't lose what built it. Like her motto says, she's the kind of person who can always "turn crap into gold.” |

- On August 4th, 2020, a tweet from the official game account shows a voice message Bangalore left to Rampart, where she calls Rampart by "P" (from Parekh) and asks if an implied commission is done - almost certainly a gun, considering Rampart's background.

- On August 7th, 2020, another tweet shows a voice message that a man called Nix left to Rampart, where he calls Rampart by "Rami" and implores for a specific "baby" - almost certainly a nickname for gun.
- On August 8th, 2020, the train and Capitol City were vandalized with "SORRY SORRY" and "NOT SORRY". Capitol City was also vandalized with images of Kuben Blisk, one of them having a crown, and the message "WON'T LET YA DOWN

Trivia[]
- Rampart's abilities are derived from Titanfall 2's A-Wall tactical ability. Her affinity for LMGs likely comes from the meta of using the Spitfire with the A-Wall for easy long-range kills.

Rampart carving her symbol on to Sheila.
- Due to some inaccurate leaks, there was a misconception that Rampart was a white male before she was revealed. (The dataminer responsible for the leak admitted that he paired names and faces through guesswork.[3]) When Respawn was accused of "changing" Rampart's design, principal animator Moy Parra responded by stating that the leaked image was never Rampart and that designs cannot be changed on a whim.[4] Knowing that people believed in the bad leaks, writer Tom Casiello seemingly created a male gunsmith character "Reginald" as a red herring to Rampart's identity on Twitter, before Rampart was revealed.
- While playing Rampart, the sound of a bubble popping can often be heard after landing on the ground from a fall that is higher than the player jump height since Rampart can be seen chewing gum and blowing bubbles in her menu animations, and in her icon on the legend select screen.
- Rampart's Heirloom is the only heirloom to include an animation that involves a different legend entirely, that being Octane's leg in a rare door kick animation.
- During very early development, Rampart was concepted as an old woman as revealed by concept art posted by Moy Parra on Twitter.[5]
