Conduit’s Abilities Spark Debate Among Apex Legends Fans
The introduction of Conduit, the newest character in Apex Legends, has ignited a heated debate among battle royale enthusiasts. The controversy revolves around her abilities and the lore behind them, which some players feel deviates from Respawn’s typically “realistic” approach.
Critics argue that Conduit’s abilities, as revealed in her lore on October 19th, are reminiscent of how superheroes and villains acquire their powers in Marvel or DC games. They contend that such a narrative doesn’t align with the world of Apex Legends. Some even suggest that it would have been more believable if she had been struck by lightning or hit by a power line.
However, there is a more plausible explanation for Conduit’s abilities. It is possible that she crafted a device from the Titan’s battery after its explosion, rather than being exposed to radiation. This alternative scenario would offer a more “realistic” means for her to acquire her powers, avoiding the cliché superhero trope.
This speculation gains further support from the presence of a device in Conduit’s possession, as seen on the Ignite Season page of the official Apex website. While she does exhibit blue, lightning-like veins, it is conceivable that she both encountered radiation and constructed a device to harness her newfound abilities.
Interestingly, if we scrutinize Conduit for her less realistic powers, we should also question other Legends in the game. Wraith’s advanced technology and Catalyst’s ability to conjure walls seemingly out of thin air defy the notion of a “hyper-real” world. And let’s not even delve into the resurrection of fallen Legends.
Ultimately, the truth behind Conduit’s powers remains unknown until the release of the Ignite trailer on October 23rd. Whether she gained her abilities through a Spider-Man-esque incident, crafted a weapon from the Titan’s battery, or a combination of both, one thing is certain: she will undoubtedly bring an electrifying element to the Apex Games.
