Apex Legends’ Gibraltar has always had a bit of a tough time. The sheer size of his hitbox – which makes him more than twice as easy to hit as the game’s smallest characters – and lack of mobility lead many players to opt to play as somewhat more slippery customers. Thankfully, some opportunistic players have come up with a means to address at least one of those concerns.
Gibraltar’s passive ability allows him to call up a small personal shield whenever he’s aiming down his sights (blocking at least some of his broad stature). In a post on Reddit, one player explored what might happen when that ability interacted with Octane’s ultimate, Jump Pad.
When Apex Legends’ newest addition uses that ability, he drops, well, a Jump Pad to the floor, allowing players to spring off it to get into (or out of) a battle quickly. I’d initially imagined the aim was to recreate this clip from The Avengers where Black Widow jumps off Captain America’s shield, but the reality is far more entertaining.
