Wattson Fence Cross

In Apex Legends, the Wattson Fence Cross refers to the strategic maneuver of crossing through Wattson's Perimeter Security fences. Wattson, a defensive legend, uses her tactical ability to create electrified fences that can be used strategically for both offensive and defensive purposes.

Understanding Wattson's Perimeter Security

Wattson's tactical ability allows her to place up to 12 nodes to create electrified fences. These fences can deal damage and slow down enemies who pass through them. The primary use of these fences is to fortify positions and create barriers against enemy advances.

  • Damage: The fences deal a small amount of damage to enemies who pass through them.
  • Slow Effect: Enemies are temporarily slowed, making them vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
  • Detection: Fences can alert Wattson and her squad of enemy movements when triggered.

Strategies for Crossing Wattson's Fences

While Wattson's fences are formidable, there are effective strategies to cross them without significant consequences:

  1. Timing: Wait for the right moment when Wattson is distracted or recharging her abilities.
  2. Abilities: Use legends with abilities that grant immunity or speed boosts to quickly pass through the fences with minimal impact.
  3. Destroy Nodes: If possible, destroy the fence nodes from a safe distance to disable the fence temporarily.

Legends Suitable for Bypassing Fences

Some legends have abilities that make it easier to bypass Wattson's fences:

  • Pathfinder: Utilize Pathfinder’s grapple to quickly traverse the fenced area.
  • Wraith: Activate Wraith’s Into the Void to phase through the fences without taking damage.
  • Octane: Use Octane’s Stim to boost speed and minimize the slow effect of the fences.

Mastering the Wattson Fence Cross strategy can significantly enhance your gameplay by allowing you to counter Wattson's defensive setups effectively.
