Her abilities Gravity Lift and Black Hole, can be used together to find openings and gain an edge over opponents during an encounter. On top of that, Gravity Lift has multiple uses for repositioning and taking vertical ground quickly.

Skirmisher Class Legends can look at Care Packages to reveal their contents.

Some Horizon players might not think about how strong this ability can be as a defensive tool. If you\u2019re caught with low health and being chased down, you can use this ability to block off a doorway or throw it down in a corner and sit inside of it while you heal. This will not only prevent players from pushing through to kill you but also make it harder for enemies to see you as you sit inside of this ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2 &#8211; Fish in a Black Hole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re playing Horizon, you should always be picking up grenades to use with your Black Hole. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UzPxCzMrnsg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"3 THINGS EVERY HORIZON MAIN NEEDS TO KNOW!\">The best option is Arc Stars because of how precise you can be with this ordinance<\/a>, but thermites and grenades are just as strong if thrown correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wielding the power of black holes, the time displaced Horizon joined Apex Legends in hopes of finding a way back home.
