YouTuber \u2018The Gaming Merchant\u2019 has been on a rigorous mend to find all of the hidden intricacies with every Legends\u2019 ability kits. While some are widely-known and already a part of most players tool sets, he came across some real juicy info that could redefine how people approach the Adrenaline Junkie. Respawn launched their ambitious battle royale on February 4, and since then players have been finding some of the strangest, most effective ways for utilizing a given Apex Games competitor. Octane is a priority target to kill because of his play-making ability, but he has some evasive maneuvers to keep him alive. In this regard, the YouTuber shined the light on Octane\u2019s Tactical Ability which most players know to give \u201c30% faster (movement) for six seconds\u201d at the cost of his own health. \u201cMany people think that Octane\u2019s (Stim pack) just gives him more forward sprint speed but that\u2019s not how it works at all,\u201d The Gaming Merchant said. \u201cIn fact, all it does is add a boost to your velocity in all directions. Or actions you do, whether it\u2019s crouching, walking, sprinting, or strafing side to side will be boosted.\u201d This gives players a daring yet dynamic defensive option to use the Stim, since according to the YouTuber \u201cOctane\u2019s Stim can be a great too to use whilst in fight, pop it once and do long strafes side to side to be difficult to hit.\u201d Octane is harder to hit when stimmed up. Though it\u2019s a risky way to use the life-draining ability, if an Octane finds themselves pushing a squad or trying to retreat, then injecting a Stim could give an oddly compelling way to avoid enemy fire. Octane actually gets a steady amount of residual action speed as well, and the YouTuber highlighted it since there are \u201cgameplay and movement mechanics that become a core part of each Legends\u2019 kit, without people even realizing.\u201d Even though its a fairly simple nugget of information to process, The Gaming Merchant says its just another example of \u201ctips (that) think outside of the box a little bit and are very hard to master.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use Octane\u2019s Stim in Apex Legends for surprising movement buff Apex Legends players have been refining their mechanics with every character in the game, which is still revealing new ways to use abilities like Octane\u2019s Stim.
