Apex Legends dev impressed with fast-drop trick found on Olympus Respawn EntertainmentThe new map in Apex Legends has a unique design decision with the Turbines that players are using to get fast-drops on Olympus, and at least one Respawn developer was pleasantly surprised by the discovery. [jwplayer A8oCoIXs] Season 7 Ascension has been giving players a swarm of new content to dive through. As they tinker with new elements in the game they\u2019re finding all sorts of results from making deadly Wraith portals, to encountering bugs with the Trident. Adding another item on the list will be the center POI of Olympus called Turbine, where people can find the towering slopes angled toward each cardinal direction that can give speed boosts in the early portion of a match. \u201cTurbine\u2019s curved towers have some pretty quick routes,\u201d user \u2018Lord_Spinkingham\u2019 said, showing how \u201cthis was actually quicker [than just landing at the POI]. A team went for the chimney and I beat them to the middle.\u201d Of course, depending on the dropship\u2019s trajectory, this might not be a worthwhile trick to use in your game. But if you have multiple pathing routes to score high-tier loot, this can easily be used to get on the ground quicker. In fact, Senior Level Designer Dave \u2018StryderPilot\u2019 Ose was a bit coy about the trick, seeing as it might not have been something he was completely aware of. \u201cAs designed. This was totally on purpose\u2026\u201d he joked in response to the trick that instantly gained popularity among Apex\u2019s players. He later described player discoveries about the game\u2019s design as \u201cScary. Fun. Exciting. In that order.\u201d While this might not have been a use for the Turbines that StryderPilot and his team planned for, the Apex community are happy to take the discovery and run with it to use in their games. This isn\u2019t something we haven\u2019t seen before, either. Early in the game\u2019s life on Kings Canyon, players found that you could clip a high wall to achieve a similar effect. The only difference here is there are now four major map elements on Olympus that now lets Apex Legends players get huge boosts to drop onto the map even faster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
