Apex Legends players are \u201cOctane jousting\u201d and it\u2019s hilarious EAApex Legends players have been using the game\u2019s training area, called Firing Range, to create a hilarious, very fun custom game for friends itching to duel: \u201cOctane jousting.\u201d When you hop in Apex Legends\u2019 Firing Range with buddies, you can allow friendly fire, pick your favorite guns, and set up games to play amongst yourselves. The funniest of these customs that we\u2019ve seen is the recently exposed \u201cOctane jousting,\u201d as finally revealed to Reddit by \u2018Ardcas\u2019 after spending a long time competing against their friends in private. But now we know how it works and our friendships might never be safe again. The premise of the mode is simple: you and your friend select Octane and grab the same single-shot, high-damage weapon, something like a Longbow, Wingman, or Triple-Take. Then you set up your jump pads a decent distance from one another and take turns jumping off those jump pads toward each other while trying to land a shot. It looks chaotic, difficult, and, most importantly, pretty silly. If you\u2019re sweating over these jousting duels, you\u2019re probably doing it wrong. But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not an effective way to work on some skills while having fun. For a game as fast-paced as Apex Legends, reaction times and adjustments to mobility are crucial talents. When bouncing off of a jump pad with a single-fire weapon, you\u2019re moving quickly and haphazardly with only a couple seconds to land shots on a similarly hard-to-hit target. While it\u2019s an older video (as you can tell from the sniper ammo), this is the first time Ardcas has shared it since they\u2019re new to the Reddit community. According to the creator, players should also use gold knockdown shields and armor for quicker rounds\u2014and that you can switch to Krabers if you want to get a little crazy with it. Still, a Longbow with a relatively close-distance scope seems like the best bet to maximize your ability to ADS and find shots. Quick-scoping with a Kraber is one of the hardest things to do in Apex Legends. With how much of a grind running ranked games can feel like, coming up with creative custom games to play amongst friends makes for a great breather. In other popular games like Overwatch and Fortnite, the custom games lobby and Creative Mode have been incredibly fun ways to let people enjoy the game casually, especially during longer queue times. While Apex isn\u2019t likely to add a full custom games mode just yet, something like this does help take the edge off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
