Mad Maggie

This article concerns the subject and the content related to it in *Apex Legends*. For the background of the subject in Apex Legends universe, see Mad Maggie (character).

 **Mad Maggie** is an  Assault Legend. She was introduced in  Season 12 and is locked from the base game. She can be unlocked using digital currency: either  12,000 or  750.

A Legend with powerful combat abilities, Maggie’s tactical ability,  Riot Drill, forces her enemies out of cover by spitting fire through it, and her passive  Warlord's Ire, allows her to track her enemies and move quickly with shotguns. Her ultimate ability  Wrecking Ball, lays a trail of speed boosting pads to propel her squad into battle at high speed.

## Abilities

### Riot Drill

 Cooldown

* Info
* Interactions
* Tips
* Bugs

* Holding Tactical button delays the launch. Melee cancels the launch.
* The drill can be used simultaneously with other actions (firing, reloading, healing, etc.) without interrupting them.
* If the drill hits an enemy directly, it will deal 5 damage and bounce off of them.
* If attached, a flare will shoot out from the other side.
	+ The drill can reach an opposite surface of a wall/prop up to 13 meters - an indicator on screen will show the detected depth while launching.
	+ Takes 1 second to activate after attaching, and deals a total of 160 damage over 9 seconds. Deals partial damage to the object it is attached to.
	+ Flare length is 5 meters, and it is not blocked by obstacles.
* The drill itself cannot be destroyed once it has attached to an obstacle, but if the object it is attached to is destroyed, the drill will disappear as well.
* The drill moves along with any surface it is attached to.

* Attaches to:
	+ Map props, walls, doors
	+ Mad Maggie's  Wrecking Ball
	+ Gibraltar's  Dome of Protection
	+ Rampart's  Amped Cover - Can go through multiple walls.
	+ Newcastle's  Mobile Shield and  Castle Wall
	+ Caustic's  Nox Gas Trap
	+ Crypto's  Surveillance Drone
	+ Tridents
* Can be affected by Horizon's  Gravity Lift.
* Bounces off of  Knockdown Shields, including Newcastle's  Revive Shield, and Pathfinder's Boxing Ring on Olympus.

* When you know an enemy is hiding behind some cover, use your drill to damage the enemy behind it. This can force them to move and create an opening for your team.

* Due to how a wall/prop surface is calculated by the game, it may sometimes seems to drill through only a short distance instead of all the way down the wall/prop.

### Warlord's Ire

 Cooldown

* Info
* Tips

* Damaged enemies' silhouettes are visible through walls and obstacles for 0.8 second.
* Maggie gains 1.15x speed when walking or running with a shotgun.
	+ This is the same speed as when holstering the weapon.
	+ Speed boost also affect ADS in shotgun, resulting an effective ADS speed penalty of -3.5% when compared to other weapons.

* Moving with Shotgun :
	+ If you're primarily using a shotgun for most fights, keep it equipped even when not in a fight, as it provides combat readiness with no cost to movement speed.
	+ If the shotgun is more of a secondary weapon, keep it holstered when out in the open, as switching from shotgun to your primary weapon is slower than drawing from holstered.
* Use Thermite Grenades and the  Riot Drill to keep enemies highlighted for an extended duration behind walls.

### Wrecking Ball

 Charge time

* Info
* Interactions
* Tips

* When released, the ball bounces off floors, ceilings, and walls.
* While traveling, a speed-boosting pad is released in a zig-zag pattern every 0.8 seconds.
	+ Stepping on the pads provides a maximum 30% speed boost. (Does not stack with other speed boosts.)
	+ The speed boost lasts for 3 seconds.
	+ Boost pads disappear 60 seconds after the ball explodes.
* Can break through doors
* Will explode after bouncing the maximum amount of times, after 10 seconds, or upon hitting an enemy
	+ Deals a maximum of 20 damage in an area and stuns enemies and Maggie within the radius.

* Deals damage to enemy placeable objects: Loba's  Black Market Boutique, Newcastle's  Castle Wall and  Mobile Shield, Seer's  Exhibit, Horizon's  Black Hole, Rampart's  Amped Cover, and Caustic's  Nox Gas Traps.
* Completely destroys Gibraltar's  Dome of Protection.
* Can bounce off both the inside and outside of Rampart's  Amped Cover and Newcastle's  Mobile Shield and  Castle Wall.
* Can bounce off players, and explodes shortly after coming into contact.
* Can be launched by Octane's  Launch Pad.
* Can be affected by Horizon's  Gravity Lift.
* Can be destroyed by Wattson's  Interception Pylon.
* Can be bounced back with  Knockdown Shield and doesn't deplete Knockdown Shield's HP.

* If one knows the enemy is hiding behind a blocked door, a wrecking ball can break the door and stun the enemies behind them, providing an opening for Maggie and her team.
* Aside from its offensive use, the wrecking ball can also be used for rotation across the map or escaping a dangerous situation.
	+ Be aware that enemies can use your boost pad trail to follow you.

## Lore

*Main article:* Mad Maggie (character)

By sabotaging Fuse’s entrance into the Apex games, Maggie planned to expose how weak the Syndicate was, in hopes it would spark rebellion on Salvo.
Fuse would assemble a team to take down Maggie… only for the pair to have a heart to heart where they came to accept each other’s choices: Fuse will always follow the fun, and Maggie will always follow the cause.

Eventually, the Salvo fighter plane will be shot down above the North Pad. The main body phased out, but a wing with Cracked Talons logo and covered with the phase energy will crash onto the beach to the south of the pad structure.
	+ The above teaser also serves to show the dynamic terrain changes coming on Olympus in Season 12.
