Apex Legends player nearly dies IRL after stray bullet hits his monitor Respawn\/Twitter\/YTMikeCheckAn Apex Legends YouTuber is lucky to be alive after a stray bullet narrowly missed his head and hit his gaming monitor instead. If you\u2019ve ever played a multiplayer game, chances are you\u2019ve been shot at by an enemy at some point, but for YouTuber \u2018MikeCheck,\u2019 his game frantic Apex Legends match got a little bit too immersive. In a series of social media posts, the Apex Legends player explained how he was competing in the game when out of nowhere, a stray bullet went through the wall and hit his monitor, destroying it. It was a very close call for MikeCheck, who revealed the bullet was just three inches from his head, and that\u2019s a conservative estimate. YouTuber survives actual gunshot while playing Apex Legends Other photos show where the bullet apparently fragmented after hitting the monitor and went straight through the wall. Unfortunately for the traumatized YouTuber, some players doubted his story, even going as far as to suggest he fired the shots himself for content \u2013 something he denies. \u201cAfter something traumatic like this, I can\u2019t believe people are telling me I did this myself because at the time of posting I forgot to include the pics of entry holes,\u201d he said. \u201cBlaming the victim is wild, especially on their own assumptions. I\u2019m just happy I\u2019m safe.\u201d In a follow-up comment, MikeCheck explained how he doesn\u2019t want to live in that house anymore following the shooting. \u201cI\u2019m still processing it all. I didn\u2019t do a Go Fund Me because I never thought this would go viral and I don\u2019t like the idea of taking sympathy money from people,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI wasn\u2019t gonna even post til a friend said to. I love my setup. Would never do this to myself.\u201d Amazingly, Mike isn\u2019t the first Apex Legends player to have a stray bullet nearly claim their life this year. Back in April, a player\u2019s Razer headset saved his life while in the middle of competing in the popular battle royale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
