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).
The Syndicate's gonna regret letting Mad Maggie off her leash.
Mad Maggie is an AssaultLegend who was introduced in Season 12. She can breach buildings by firing a Riot Drill to damage enemies through walls or by tossing a Wrecking Ball to burst through defenses. Her Warlord's Ire passive lets her run faster when wielding shotguns.
Mad Maggie can be unlocked using digital currency: either 12,000 Legend Tokens or 750 Apex Coins.
Fire a drill that attaches to an obstacle and burns enemies on the other side.
Cooldown
20 seconds
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.
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.

Passive

Description
Temporarily highlight enemies you've damaged. Move faster with shotguns.
Cooldown
?
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.[3]
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.
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.
Margaret Kōhere - the woman who would one day be known as Mad Maggie - grew up in one of the dustiest, dullest corners of Salvo without any family to speak of. She was fortunate, then, to meet a kindred chaotic spirit: an adventurous young boy named Walter Fitzroy. The two were inseparable, and in their teenage years, they became mercenaries. Eventually this duo grew into the Cracked Talon - a powerful mercenary operation. It was here she earned her nom de guerre: Mad Maggie. But when rival warlord Sandringham Kelly signed a treaty with the Syndicate, Maggie’s hopes for an independent Salvo were ruined, and Fuse abandoned her for the Games, leaving Maggie very mad indeed…
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.
It seemed as though Maggie fell to her death after that exchange...But she was apprehended by the Syndicate, and sentenced to fight to the death in the Apex Games. So she will: just not hers.
Will travel twice as far while dropping the same amount of magnets.
Duration increased from 5 sec → 10 sec.
Magnet Spawn delay increased from 0.4 sec → 0.8 sec.
Wrecking Ball will deal damage to enemy placeable objects: Black Market, Castle Walls, Exhibit, Death Totem, Mobile Shield, Black Hole, Amped Cover, and Gas Barrels. It will also destroy Gibraltar's Dome of Protection.
Fixed Wrecking Ball not blinding and slowing enemies.
While she was introduced as a non-player character in "Good as Gold" on January 18th, 2021, and featured heavily throughout Season 8 as an antagonist and announcer, she was not seen again up until being revealed as a playable Legend in Season 12.
On January 21st, 2022, on Storm Point, a dogfight between a Syndicate fighter jet and a Cracked Talons fighter jet can be witnessed in the sky. 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.
It is revealed to be Maggie's capture by Syndicate, with her failing plane phased to Olympus. The audio transcript of her is used as a description for a Transition
On January 27th, 2022, the Season 12 Launch Trailer was released.
