Its no surprise that Pathfinder takes the top spot in Season 16. His Grappling Hook and Zipline Gun are extremely useful when you’re moving around the map. In addition, his abilities are versatile, allowing you to flank, play aggressive and push your opponents, or even retreat from an unfavourable situation.
Pathfinder consistently makes it in the top 5 Legends and it seems that this isn’t set to change anytime soon. However, characters will receive buffs and nerfs in the future, potentially shaking up this list.
Now you know the Apex Legends Season 16 pick rates, you can keep up with the meta and make sure you’re choosing the best characters in the game.
