Respawn respond Apex Legends, the popular battle royale from Respawn Entertainment, uses the Source engine, which means the \u2018bunny hopping\u2019 mechanics made famous in Counter-Strike, are possible \u2013 but is it a skill or an exploit? Players familiar with the Source engine quickly found that you could bunny hop in Apex Legends by sliding, remaining crouched, and timing your jumps accordingly. If done correctly, the mechanic was very helpful when trying to heal, as players are reduced to a walking pace when using syringes or shield cells. However, by bunny hopping, players could move much faster while healing. It didn\u2019t take long until this sparked debate however. Players who could use the bunny hopping effectively, mostly argued that it was just a matter of skill, and helped increase the skill gap in the game. If you don\u2019t know how to want to try, here\u2019s a simple guide on how to bunny hop in Apex Legends. Others felt that it was an exploit. A faulty mechanic in the game that was unintentional, and was giving some players an unfair advantage. Top Apex Legends streamer and Overwatch pro, Lucas \u2018Mendokusaii\u2019 H\u00e5kansson is the biggest proponent of bunny hopping, and is adamant Respawn should \u2018support\u2019 it, not remove it. However, it looks like the developers at Respawn are not in agreement. Following the Season 1 update, developer u\/RespawnSean, stated that the quick weapon switch exploit was \u2018not intended\u2019, and said that they feel the same way about bunny hopping, with a fix incoming. Although there is no ETA on a fix, it shouldn\u2019t be too much work to implement, and so bunny hoppers might not have long left to enjoy their tricks on Apex Legends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should bunny hopping be removed from Apex Legends?
