Ruckus ▶️ is a Front Line Champion in Paladins, added on November 17th, 2015.

Lore[ | ]

This is Ruckus' official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.


While toiling in the gold mines, a particularly wily and inventive goblin named Ruckus stumbled upon the long-lost mind-stone of a fallen war-golem. He installed the relic into his mechanical digging suit, hoping it would provide the suit with enough power to outperform the other miners. He was quite surprised when the ancient sentience reawakened and brought the suit to life.

Though it resented its situation, its pilot, and the name it was given, Bolt nonetheless agreed to a tentative partnership, one that freed them both to scour the Realm in search of fame, fortune, and upgrades.

This is an unofficial version of Ruckus' bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found here.


Once a regular goblin miner, Ruckus eventually stumbled upon the long lost mind stone of an ancient war-golem, which he installed within his mechanical digging suit, merely hoping it would allow him to outperform the other miners. However, the stone instead brought the digging suit to life. While the consciousness, which Ruckus dubbed "Bolt", resented what had become of it, he nonetheless agreed to a tentative partnership with Ruckus, as they both headed out into the Realm in search of fame, fortune, and upgrades.

This was Ruckus' in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.

This was Ruckus' bio on the official Paladins website in the extremely early days of Paladins.[1] Naturally, it's no longer considered canon


Upon his death, the majestic Elven King Boltanas bound his soul into the blade T'lonmar, so that he might forever defend his kingdom from the Goblin Hordes of Ozmendar. Ruckus found his blade, melted it down, and built his war machine from it. Many think being bound to a goblin would be insufferable, and "Bolt" would agree... and he makes sure Ruckus never forgets it.

Summary[ | ]

Ruckus is a front line champion with both defensive and offensive capabilities. His weapons are a pair of Miniguns that fire at a very high rate and a pair of Missile Launchers that deal area damage. His Emitter creates a shield around himself. The Advance skill allows him to quickly move in a straight line towards the direction he is moving. Ruckus' ultimate skill, Hexa Fire, will pull out several extra weapons to rain down destruction upon anything in front of him while he suffers a large movement speed penalty for the duration.

Trivia[ | ]


Lore

  • Ruckus spends his time collecting scraps from battlefields to construct mechs.[2]
  • Ruckus fought alongside both the Magistrate and Resistance during the End Times event.[3][4] It's unknown why he joined them.
  • Ruckus and Bolt seem to have some connection to Cassie.[5]
  • Bolt's mind stone is a crystal and naturally holds some magical power.[6]
    • Bolt' spirit / soul is trapped within this crystal.[7]
    • Bolt's voice comes directly from it as well.[8]
  • Bolt is specifically the name of the mech, not the name of the character in the crystal.[7]
  • Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Ruckus would be around 1'5 or 44cm tall, while Bolt would be around 6'6 or 197cm tall.


Cameos

Ruckus appears in the following content:


References


Concepts

  • Early concepts for Ruckus show a large variety in possible designs, with his race and gender not being fully decided on until later stages of development. Even after a male goblin was settled on, originally, he had a more rugged look to him.[9][10][11]


Other

  • Ruckus was one of the first playable characters in Paladins.
  • Ruckus is one of the more difficult champions to create skins for due to Ruckus and Bolt being separate characters.[12]
  • Originally, instead of mounting normally, Bolt would transform into a flying vehicle; though this was largely only aesthetic and functioned the same as regular mounting.[13]
    • Regardless, this technically makes Ruckus one of the few champions that was incapable of mounting, sharing this trait with Yagorath.
  • Ruckus' codename was "Mech".[14]
  • He and Viktor are voiced by the same voice actor.
  • In an early trailer for the game, Bolt uses voice clips from the Star Slayer skin, despite earlier appearances feature the default voice pack. It's unknown if this was an error, a change that was canceled, or something else entirely.
  • Ruckus was originally free, but eventually changed to cost 15,000 Currency Gold Gold or 100 Currency Crystals Crystals in the RWBY update.
  • In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Ruckus, these recolors included the Gizmo and Assembly skins, as well as version of the Sprocket skin. These recolors also exist for Ruckus' modern design as well.
  • Having been present in the mobile game 'Paladins Strike', Ruckus received a unique skin exclusive to Strike. This skin would be War Machine Ruckus.


Champion Skins

  • Ruckus Collection Render Sprocket Icon Sprocket
    • A sprocket is a profiled wheel with cogs.


  • Ruckus Collection Render B.E.T.A. IconRuckus Collection Render H.A.W.K. Icon B.E.T.A. / H.A.W.K.
    • The B.E.T.A. skin was Ruckus' default skin until it was reworked on July 26, 2017. The name also references this fact.


  • Ruckus Collection Render Lil'Andy Icon Lil'Andy
    • This skin features Ruckus dressed up as Androxus.
    • This is Ruckus' only skin that doesn't change Bolt's appearance.


  • Ruckus Collection Render Robo Force Icon Robo Force
    • This skin originally had a different splash art.[15]
    • This skin was part of the 1st Battle Pass alongside Exarch Jenos and Neon Demon Grohk.
    • Bolt's appearance in this skin may be a reference to Ride Armor from Mega Man X.
    • The logo on Bolt's left shoulder is reminiscent of the Mega Man X group Repliforce's logo.
    • Bolt's voice is a reference to the Power Rangers' character Alpha 5.
      • The line "Bolt: "Ayay-yayae-yaya-yaeeee!"" (▶️) is a direct reference to the character's iconic exclamation.
