Bangalore Smoke Cover

The Bangalore Smoke Cover is a crucial ability in Apex Legends, providing strategic advantages during gameplay. It is part of Bangalore's tactical ability, known as the Smoke Launcher, which can be used to obscure vision, create diversions, or provide cover for team movements.

How Bangalore's Smoke Cover Works

Bangalore's tactical ability allows her to fire canisters that release smoke upon impact. This smoke creates a thick screen that blocks the vision of both allies and enemies. Here are some key points about how it functions:

• Activation: The Smoke Launcher can be activated with a single button press, launching a canister towards the targeted area.
• Smoke Duration: Once deployed, the smoke lasts for approximately 15 seconds, offering a temporary but effective visual barrier.
• Range and Area: The canisters cover a wide area upon detonation, making them useful for both offensive and defensive strategies.

Strategic Uses

Using Bangalore's Smoke Cover effectively can turn the tide in various combat scenarios. Here are some strategic uses:

1. Revival and Healing: Deploy smoke to provide cover while reviving teammates or healing yourself during intense firefights.
2. Retreats and Flanking: Use the smoke to obscure enemy vision during retreats or to execute flanking maneuvers without being seen.
3. Objective Control: Smoke can be used to secure high-value objectives or loot areas by blocking enemy sightlines.

Countering Smoke Cover

While Bangalore's Smoke Cover can be highly effective, there are ways to counter it:

• Digital Threat Optics: Equip weapons with digital threat optics to see enemies through the smoke.
• Bloodhound's Abilities: Utilize Bloodhound's tracking and scanning abilities to reveal enemies within the smoke.
• Caustic's Gas: Use Caustic's Nox Gas to deter enemies from entering the smoke-covered area.
