Apex Legends' Leaked Uplink Character Seems OP, May Make Crypto Irrelevant

gamerant.com:

Yesterday, a massive information leak was unveiled to the Apex Legends community. In all, the leak shows off nine new legends, five new Arena mode maps, a new map for the Battle Royale mode, as well as new attachments, changes to currently available maps, and more. While Apex Legends fans will undoubtedly be digesting all the information included in the leak for some time, one of the new heroes managed to immediately stand out from the crowd.

Uplink, an upcoming Recon legend and one of the characters detailed in the leak, boasts arguably one of the best kits for Apex Legends. Their abilities, which seems to be the strongest even when compared to the other nine leaked Apex Legends characters, centers around shielding and reviving allies. Unfortunately, with a character like Uplink on the horizon, it seems like already underpowered characters like Crypto and others are becoming increasingly obsolete.

Uplink's kit consists of three main abilities:

Uplink's Immortality Relay Beacon could be one of the most game-changing ultimate abilities ever put in the game. Apex Legends has dealt with overpowered abilities before; like recently, when a player discovered a bug that caused Fuse's ultimate to work as a wallhack of sorts.

A brief immortality buff would give any team a massive advantage in any battle where it was not easy for the enemy to disengage. Without even considering the other two abilities, Uplink would become a must-pick character if implemented into the game with this current kit concept.

The Shield Satellite ability also seems oddly similar to Lifeline's
