Respawn\u2019s battle royale has a roster of Legends who bring their own playstyles to the Apex Games. While there are more defensive and support-minded characters, Legends like Octane are meant to create plays out of nothing with their ability kit. However, things didn\u2019t work out too well for AnneMunition, seeing as she was looking to make a big play on an incoming squad, which would\u2019ve worked to perfection \u2013 but the game didn\u2019t let her. During her December 10 stream playing as Octane, Anne found herself on the low ground when her teammate was suddenly engaged by an attack team. Luckily, the Adrenaline Junkie\u2019s ultimate was fully charged, so the streamer immediately threw it down to hoist herself into the heat of battle. While the lift of a Jump Pad would have AnneMunition at the perfect height and trajectory to take the other team by surprise, the Ultimate didn\u2019t give her much lift at all. A second attempt yielded the exact same results, so she had to abandon the plan and find another way to scale the building. But the straightforward approach got her quickly downed, seeing as the enemy squad had already rotated around that side of the structure. After being quickly eliminated, Anne tried to make sense of what happened, but was still perplexed by the interaction. \u201cI went to Jump Pad above them, and right where my Jump Pad was, apparently there\u2019s an invisible wall or something,\u201d she said. \u201c\u2026 I thought that maybe I missed it the first time so I tried it again, and I don\u2019t know. I must have had a defective Jump Pad, I guess.\u201d In both of her leaps, it looks like the jump\u2019s path cuts shortly before takeoff \u2013 reducing her launch down to a glorified hop. It\u2019s unclear if there was a glitch with the Jump Pad or if an invisible element was blocking AnneMunition\u2019s path. Either way, this would be something the Respawn devs would look to fix, seeing as the bug essentially rendered Octane\u2019s Ultimate useless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AnneMunition baffled by bizarre Octane Launch Pad fail in Apex Legends Popular Twitch streamer AnneMunition encountered a strange interaction in Apex Legends with Octane\u2019s Jump Pad Ultimate, which didn\u2019t make the ability work as intended.
