Apex Legends' Season 2 Brings New Hero: Wattson

---

Electronic Arts announced during their E3 newsblast that, as leaks had suggested, the tenth legend of Apex Legends is an inventor named Wattson. Natalie "Wattson" Paquette is a familiar face in the Apex Legends Games: daughter of the Games' lead electrical engineer, she devoured every book she could on the subject, and grew into a skilled engineer herself. Arriving with Season 2, which starts on July 2nd, she can can sling around high-tech pylons to create electrified fences, repair shields, and even shoot incoming explosives out the sky. She's introduced to us through a video where her dad explains he's so very proud that she figured out how to surround people within a shrinking wall of death so they have to fight each other. Eventually, she was commissioned to build the Apex Legends' Modified Containment Ring. Her father tragically died the day it was revealed, but at her lowest moment, a group of competitors invited her to return to the arena with them. They became her new family.

She now fights in the arena she helped build, destroying incoming missiles, recharging shields, creating fences, and using her pylon to silence fights that get too loud. Nobody knows the arena better than Wattson, and she's able to change the game.

Developers Respawn Entertainment gabbed plenty about Wattson during today's livestream, showing how her pylon abilities work. 

See Wattson's profile page for more on her and her abilities.

Natalie "Wattson" Paquette is a familiar face in the Apex Games, though for a different reason than most. Daughter of the Games' lead electrical engineer, she studied his manuals to stay close to him, and discovered her calling at a young age. Though she could be completely distracted one moment and hyper-focused the next, electricity grounded her – its ordered, predictable flow made sense in a way the rest of the world didn't.
