Since the release of Apex Legends, a new character is added to the roster every season. Many of these legends have been the subject of leaks, especially in recent seasons. The latest Legends to be released were part of a huge leak that potentially included the upcoming Season 16 Legend.
The leaks turned out to be quite accurate, confirmed by the release of Vantage, Newcastle, and Catalyst. While their abilities differed from the leaks, their character models and season release dates were predicted.
According to the leak, the next character to be released is Ballistic, the arms dealer from Apex. Ballistic was called Caliber in previous leaks, but the latest leaks changed his name but kept the same abilities and character model.

Ballistic Release Date in Apex Legends
According to the leak, Ballistic is expected to be the next Legend of Season 16. Season 15 ends on February 14, 2023, so Season 16 should release on the same day or the next day.
Ballistic skills in Apex Legends
Ballistic brings a unique set of skills to Apex Legends as an arms dealer. These are the skills that Ballistics is expected to have. These abilities are subject to change and have not been confirmed by Respawn.
Passive: Weapon Sling
Ballistic can carry three weapons in his arsenal. The problem is that the third weapon cannot be equipped with accessories and is tied to his ult. The weapon can be used like any other weapon, but requires an alternate interact button to equip.
Tactic: smart bullet
Smart Bullet is a projectile attack that can debuff enemies, causing their weapons to overheat. If debuffed players fire their weapon too much, it will overheat, dealing damage and causing a reaction.
Ultimate: Weapon Enhancer
Ballistic’s Ultimate buffs nearby teammates with faster reloads, increased unarmed movement speed, and infinite ammo. Ballistic will also equip and upgrade your third weapon, making it a fully equipped gold weapon.
Ballistic’s abilities seem like a dream for players who love pure gunfights. Not only is Ballistic expected to have a kit that rivals the shot force of Vantage and Rampart, but his ult can greatly benefit the team.
The ballistic leak seems legit, but it’s still possible that the next character could be switched. In Season 4, a character named Forge was hinted and leaked as the new Legend, only to be killed off and replaced by Revenant. Catalyst was the last Legend to be leaked, however his abilities were different than what the leak suggested.
If Ballistic is the next planned Legend, players should see him in Apex Legends Season 16, which is expected to begin on February 14, 2023.
