Apex Legends redesign for Octane\u2019s Launch Pad could make it more useful Octane\u2019s Launch Pad in Apex Legends offers instant playmaking abilities to anyone who takes it for a ride, but a key improvement could make the Ultimate more impactful. Respawn\u2019s battle royale has a diverse roster of characters, each equipped with ability kits that offer everything from defensive capabilities to moves that lay down quick offense to take opponents by surprise. But it\u2019s with the characters\u2019 Ultimate abilities where the battlefield can really take a turn since they can provide unique ways of getting a team the edge in an engagement. While Octane\u2019s Launch Pad can give a whole team a massive leap to either reposition, take an enemy squad by surprise, and more, it\u2019s one-dimensional trajectory could be improved on. In a redesign by Reddit user \u2018mnkymnk,\u2019 the Launch Pad gets a bit more support to give players a diverse set of launches that can really trip up the competition. \u201cWalking, sliding, and sprinting into the jumppad now heavily influences your flight path,\u201d they said in the concept. Additionally, the reworked Launch Pad would also get an \u201cOvercharge\u201d perk which would regenerate 25% of a player\u2019s shield and overcharging the character\u2019s Jetpacks, allowing for a double jump. While the Overcharge bit didn\u2019t seem to be that popular with onlookers, the change of trajectories could be something that really shakes up the Ultimate ability. As it stands, Octane\u2019s Ult is only for an immediate leap to where you\u2019re going. While it\u2019s proven to have its use in the past, the improvement would only make it viable since it expands its potential. Simply walking would accomplish the same effects the ability has now. Sprinting would give players much more distance to close a significant gap, whether trying to engage or back up a teammate. Sliding onto the jump pad would cover a massive length but it wouldn\u2019t send a player that high up, making it perfect for an escape so players wouldn\u2019t get traced out of the air due to a lot of hang time. The change would only facilitate players\u2019 playmaking abilities with the Launch Pad which could be a healthy improvement for Apex Legends\u2019 Adrenaline Junkie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
