Apex Legends dev explains why Loba\u2019s teleport doesn\u2019t always work Respawn EntertainmentLoba\u2019s teleportation tactical ability \u2018Burglar\u2019s Best Friend\u2019 doesn\u2019t work exactly as it did in the Apex Legends Fortune\u2019s Favor gameplay trailer \u2013 prompting a response from a Respawn dev. A trending post in the popular Apex Legends subreddit showed \u2018DropTopMox\u2019 making a valiant effort to recreate one of the first instances in which players got to see a true gameplay-scenario debut of Loba and her Jump Drive bracelet. Though previously shown in smaller capacities, players got to whet their appetites on the High Society Thief\u2019s robust abilities, including a move that lets her teleport to her throwable bracelet. A PSA on what Loba can really do Unfortunately, the limit test for Loba\u2019s teleport didn\u2019t go so well for DropTopMox and was confused to discover that the bracelet was a dud when they needed it the most \u2013 until Respawn dev \u2018Deco\u2019 shared what likely went wrong. \u201cPSA: Do NOT try to recreate the Loba play from the trailer,\u201d the player cautioned after utilizing the ability in the same way Loba does in the trailer while getting wildly different results. The gameplay trailer showed Loba making a last ditch dive over a cliff with Pathfinder and both used their long-cooldown tacticals to retreat to level below. In mid-air, when Loba spun to throw her bracelet, she made it to the other end safely. After DropTopMax used the same tactical move \u2013 and failed spectacularly \u2013 he got on the internet to make a meme starring the Ghanaian Dancing Pallbearers. After a few hours of shared confusion and dismay following his popular thread, Deco replied to the post that had accumulated over 5,000 upvotes, at the time of writing. \u201cAh yes,\u201d Deco acknowledged after quoting a line awfully reminiscent of something that would be written on the Apex Tracker. \u201cIf the tactical is thrown, and then Loba herself hits a slip trigger, the tactical will fail even though it hit a valid surface.\u201d The tracker lists some, but not all, of everything that Respawn is addressing. Though Deco was sure to give some clarity to the situation, informing all players that it is a \u201cknown issue [and to] expect it to be fixed in a future patch.\u201d In the meantime, prowling Lobas should be aware that a slip during a hunt in Apex Legends could quickly lead to their downfall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
