Apex Legends' Vantage Is Already Breaking The Rules

gamespot.com:

Apex Legends revealed its newest character earlier this week, and she's already causing trouble. Based on a recent tweet from Respawn, it seems Vantage has broken a rule from the official Apex Games rulebook. The rule in question is described as «Rule #13: Unauthorized Instruments» and regards the use of pets in the Apex Games.

Based on the information in the appeal form, this is Vantage's second appeal regarding the issue with her furry friend. The pet in question is Echo, the bat-like creature that befriended Vantage--and saved her life--after an accident on her home planet nearly killed her. The two have been inseparable ever since, but apparently, having pets in the ring is against the rules.

The «no pets» rule comes as a surprise to many players, as Bloodhound's raven, Artur, has been a mainstay of the game since its debut in 2019. Vantage zeroes in on this fact in her appeal, mentioning Bloodhound in the first paragraph. She's scribbled out the entire paragraph and rewritten it, but the original version reads:

“I am asking for another appeal because Echo is not my pet on the battlefield. Sure, I’ve named an animal and I feed it treats for doing the things I want, but Echo is closer to that “non-combatant technology” classification you gave to DOC and NEWT. Echo will be assisting me while I hunt down and dominate
