Legends Vantage Brief Biography
Vantage's real name is Xiomara “Mara” Contreras, daughter of Xenia Contreras. He was born on a planet covered in ice called Pagos in 2716. Now he is 18 years old.
For 18 years, he was raised by his mother to become a survivalist. He was very good at using a sniper rifle since he was little and finally his mother gave him a special sniper.
During his stay on this dangerous planet, his mother always instilled these words in him:
"everything wants to kill me," and the only rule is to "survive."
Lore Legends Vantage
One day, when he shot a bat, the bat fell right on top of a cargo ship GDS Vantage. At a glance, her mother said that Mara had to stay away from the ship because the ship was empty and controlled by robots.
The bats that were shot entered the cargo ship through the gap. Mara, who was curious about its contents, decided to get into the ship.
Upon entering the ship, Mara realized that there were two strange things. The first is the "opened" cage and the second is the sniper on board. Surprisingly, the special sniper given by his mother was exactly the same as the one on the ship.
Getting into the pilot's room, Mara saw that the bat she shot just now gave birth to an albino bat. Accidentally, the bat presses some buttons which reactivate the ship.
The activation of the ship triggers a laser scanner. because Xiomara is the daughter of Xenia Contreras, she is identified as her mother. To his surprise, it turned out that his mother was a prisoner T-0323.
It is also known that the GDS Vantage is not a cargo ship, but a prisoner ship that crashed on the planet Pagos. Xenia Contreras who survived broke out and survived alone on this wild planet.
The robot that was active on the ship forced Xiomara to return to the holding cell. Unfortunately, the ship moved and eventually fell into the abyss.
Xiomara survived on the edge of the cliff, but was injured and crushed by a ship part of her leg. When he wanted to call his mother using a whistle, the whistle fell into the abyss.
The albino bat that was on the ship was rescued by Xiomara. He flew into the ravine to retrieve the whistle. Even though he had succeeded in getting it, Xiomara was unable to blow the whistle.
As a result the albino bat had gone to bring the whistle to his mother. It is also seen that his mother seems to have a special relationship with bats.
His mother also found Xiomara in a critical condition. Unable to help her, Xenia gave the Vantage ship Beacon to Xiomara in the hope that the ship would save her.
Still continue
After the beacon was lit, the aid ship came and rescued Mara. Mara is taken to the Apex Games facility, while her mother is arrested and imprisoned.
He regretted because he was the one who made his mother have to be held back in prison. At that time, Mara wanted to help her mother escape, but she refused while planning something.
One way to make amends is to become the Apex Games champion. Together with Echo, her bat, Mara changed her alias to Vantage and joined Apex Legends.
Vantage is positioned with Fuse and Horizon in one team. The Legends trio managed to win the Apex Games, and at the same time, Vantage went public with his mother's case to gain support.

How to Play Vantage
"If You're Not Hunting, You're Being Hunted."
The above sentence probably fits the Vantage way of playing. Hunting in question is not about ambushing the enemy, but stalking the enemy from a distance.
Vantage's passive ability is very good when combined with long-range weapons such as Marksman Weapons or Sniper Rifles. Vantage's skills will be better if combined with high-scope weapons.
Echo Relocation belonging to Vantage you can use to go to the highest place. From that place, you can keep an eye on the enemies moving below.
It also feels like the range of this skill can be further than Legend's trampoline Octane. Even if you jump and pass Echo, you can jump one more time with the space bar, making it farther and higher.
For ultimate Vantage, Sniper's Mark, Don't expect to use it to scout the enemy. In fact, when Vantage chases enemies with its ultimate, it also emits a laser that can tell your position.
Think of it like a counterweight to a very sick ultimate.
Lastly, as a defensive form, you can also take a close-range weapon to protect you later if an enemy gets too close (rifles, pistols).
