Apex Legends: How To Turn Mad Maggie's Ultimate Into A Fireball

Apex Legends Season 12 introduced the wasteland badass Mad Maggie, and she's had plenty of time to settle into the meta in the time since. Extended hands-on time with the game's hyper-aggressive legend has opened up tons of unique ways to utilize her kit for maximum damage, utility, and enjoyment. One specific trick even allows you to use her ultimate and tactical abilities together to create a rolling fireball. Ouch.

Mad Maggie's Wrecking Ball is already a pretty strong ultimate ability that lays down a line of zig-zagging speed boosts and explodes on enemies, knocking them back and doing a minor amount of damage. But by combining her ultimate with her Riot Drill tactical ability, you can actually turn it into a flaming ball of death with significant area-of-effect damage. As the ball travels, it deals some of the Riot Drill's tick damage to anything caught in its path, and then it does a bit of extra burn damage on enemies hit by the already-damaging explosion of the Wrecking Ball at the end of the ultimate.

While this may sound like a relatively minor boost, Apex Legends is a fast-paced and strategic game where every bit of extra damage counts, so it may be worth pulling off in some choice situations. However, doing so is a little trickier than it may sound and will undoubtedly take some practice.

In order to properly attach Mad Maggie's Riot Drill to her Wrecking Ball, follow these simple steps:

• Aim the Wrecking Ball at the ground just a bit in front of you.
• Fire the Wrecking Ball toward your target(s).
• Wait for the ball to bounce once, then quickly fire your Riot Drill at it.

If your aim is true, you'll attach the Riot Drill to the Wrecking Ball, effectively creating a fireball that can burn your enemies and bounce them around for some excellent disorientation. Look at you – you're basically a fire mage now.
