One of Apex Legends’ original characters is finally the most popular in the game

Pathfinder has almost always been a popular character in Apex Legends. His silly voicelines, cheerful personality, and Grappling Hook tactical ability all proved to be a hit with Apex players from very early on in the game’s life.

The past few years could be described as something of a decline for Pathfinder mains, though. Once clearly one of the best characters in the game to go along with his popular personality and fun playstyle, Path was hit with a series of nerfs. Some of those were direct (like increasing the cooldown for his tactical ability) and some indirect (when everyone in the recon class got his survey beacon passive, an ability that originally only belonged to him), but the fact remains that season 16 was the first time in a long time that Pathfinder got some sort of meaningful buff, this time to his ultimate.
