Apex Legends dataminer explains what the Capitol City \u2018meteor\u2019 could be The Apex Legends community is in a buzz of excitement over the possibility of a Season 4 teaser finally starting, after a mysterious projectile detonated in Capitol City, and data-miner That1MiningGuy believes he\u2019s solved the puzzle. With Respawn\u2019s third season of the battle royale rolling to a close at the end of the month, players are chomping at the bit to find out where Apex Legends is headed next after nearly four months battling on the much-maligned World\u2019s Edge. Apex\u2019s new anniversary event the \u2018Grand Soir\u00e9e Arcade\u2019 may have gone some way to whet appetites, but players are mostly keen to see what changes are coming in Season 4 \u2014 and the first hint may already be raining down on Capitol City. While some have speculated the mysterious object could be a meteor, similar to Fortnite\u2019s Season 3-ending event where Dusty Depot was wiped off the map, That1MiningGuy has another theory: one that may involve Gibraltar\u2019s ultimate. According to the popular data-miner, there\u2019s a spot north of Capitol City where you can make Gibraltar\u2019s Defensive Bombardment \u201cfall through the map,\u201d just near the gaps that lead from the hills into either The Geyser or Fuel Depot. If pulled off correctly, the bugged Gibraltar ultimate will actually land on the game\u2019s horizontal axis in the X, Y, and Z codes. This means the barrage would come in from the side of the screen, instead of from the sky as it\u2019s supposed to. \u201cLikely what\u2019s happening is, at a certain distance, the radius can crest the game\u2019s \u2018horizon,\u2019 and allow the bombardment to actually launch horizontally instead of vertically, which would then cause what we see in the two videos,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s a rare and freaky bug\u2026 but I believe the randomization of the projectiles still uses the beacon\u2019s location to determine what coordinate the bombardments can hit. Therefore, once it gets too far away, it would allow for some weird results.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/That1MiningGuy\/status\/1215366398869999619 That1MiningGuy added the sound of the \u201cmeteor\u201d players have been claiming to see was likely a variant of the \u201cWpn_DefensiveBombardment_Incoming_Mid\u201d soundbite in the code, and could sound \u201cstrange\u201d because it\u2019s coming in sideways. Not every part of the mystery was solved, however, with the data-miner admitting he had \u201cnever seen\u201d the explosion he suspected was a \u201crogue\u201d ult. Because not every element lined up, he added he wasn\u2019t \u201c100% sure\u201d it was an ult at all. \u201cI\u2019m still not 100% sure it\u2019s a Gibby ult,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can feel free to believe what you want, but with the above evidence, the only explanation to me is that if it\u2019s not a bugged Gibby ult, they [Respawn] reused all those assets for the EE.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/That1MiningGuy\/status\/1215366410177781765 Considering the data-miner spends a lot of his time digging through the game\u2019s codes and audio files, he would definitely have a good idea if the \u2018meteor\u2019 was just another bug added to the ever-growing pile of glitches in the battle royale.

UPDATE: That1MiningGuy replied to Dexerto, revealing he had spoken to one of the developers at Respawn, who he would not name, who confirmed his initial theory on why the projectiles were going on rogue across Capitol City was \u201clikely the case.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s awesome that people are hyped for stuff to start happening, but this \u2018meteor\u2019 isn\u2019t it just yet,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
