Apex Legends pro Mendo explains how to \u201cjump boost\u201d teammates There are a ton of movement tricks in Apex Legends that can give players an upper-hand on World\u2019s Edge, and none are better at discovering these tactics than Team Liquid\u2019s Lucas \u2018Mendokusaii\u2019 H\u00e5kansson. While Respawn Entertainment\u2019s battle royale has a ton of Legends with unique ability kits to take into the Apex Games, when the guns start blazing survival is all about how a player maneuvers around a fight to come out on top. People have already discovered a ton of slick ways to contort around a difficult situation, but very few of those tricks have teammates in mind for getting around World\u2019s Edge. That is until Mendo and his group got into the Firing Range and discovered an unorthodox but highly effective way of giving less-mobile Legends a boost up to high peaks. Perching themselves near a wall that isn\u2019t quite scalable with the climbing function, Mendo used a punch-jump to help Wraith get up over the ledge. \u201cWhat if I can punch you while you jump and then you can start climbing to get that little extra boost,\u201d Mendo hypothesized. On the first try, the theory turned out to work. Though reproducing the \u201cLiquid Jump\u201d took a bit of practice to sync up the timing of the jump and the punch up.

As for the person punching, they\u2019d have to punch their teammate near the moment they leaped in order to send them flying. It seems like it\u2019s easier to reproduce the trick with some Legends over others, as the squad strung a ton of leaps with Pathfinder as the launcher \u2013 but it\u2019s more about the timing than the characters a team uses. As situational as it seems, it didn\u2019t take long to find a use for the trick in-game, as the team pulled off the maneuver to launch a Wraith to a tower high above. The players were hyped to find a new mechanic in the game, and are already finding ways to incorporate it in their Apex Legends gameplay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
