Apex Legends pro Albralelie stunned seeing bizarre bug deflect bullet Respawn EntertainmentTSM pro Mac \u2018Albralelie\u2019 Kenzie Beckwith was baffled to see a perfectly placed shot in Apex Legends go awry after a bug deflected a Sentinel bullet back towards his own team. The glitch has happened in the past in multiple scenarios, and at first glance it looks like the errant shot had something to do with the Knockdown Shield. As the TSM star was tracking the downed opponent\u2019s movement, his shot came just in time to be deflected by the shield or punched away by an enemy Wraith. In either case, it\u2019s not something that people are used to seeing in Apex, and it definitely wasn\u2019t something Albralelie calculated for in his game. \u201cMy bullet just ricocheted off,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat the f**k was that?! The bullet literally pinged off his Knockdown Shield and flew back towards us.\u201d Across the way, fellow Apex competitor Jan \u2018Euriece\u2019 Del Rosario can be seen knocked down and spamming his shield to throw off Albralelie. In that shuffle, the shot that bounced off came as two things happened around the same time: the Knockdown Shield activation and an ally Wraith punching Euriece to cover. Euriece\u2019s shield was taking damage from a few of Albralelie\u2019s bullets that did manage to connect, dropping it down from 200 HP to 60. But the last shot in question didn\u2019t affect the current value of the shield. As for Wraith, the bullet can be seen making its point of contact as she\u2019s coming out of a slide animation into her melee punch. We\u2019ve seen Knockdown Shields deflect bullets before. At one point, the interaction would happen so seamlessly, it was hard for players to distinguish it as an intended feature or bug. Even as an established pro player with countless hours poured into Apex Legends, Albralelie said while reviewing the clips that he\u2019d \u201cnever seen a ricochet in [his] life.\u201d The same kind of occurrence happened with Care Packages before and even with Arc Stars bouncing off character models. It\u2019s unclear what causes these bugs, but so far Albralelie\u2019s shot is one of the strangest examples to occur in Apex Legends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
