Gibraltar's kit is extremely versatile. In Apex Legends, having a fortified strongman like this Legend allows you to make bold moves that would otherwise be impossible.

Whenever you engage with enemies, always keep your arm shield active. It is fundamental in protecting you from near-death experiences and provides an additional 50 HP to your fortified health pool.

As for the Dome of Protection, this ability's uses are multi-faceted. It provides a great source of cover as you traverse through open ground, allowing you and your team to heal up when required. When your teammates get knocked down, the Dome of Protection makes reviving them a much easier process. Do not hesitate to use this ability offensively. Always carry a shotgun and force your enemies into 1v1 shotgun encounters with this ability.

Lastly, use Defensive Bombardment to third-party other fights. If you see team fights go down, chuck the flare in their direction and farm the entire squads as hell rains down
