Apex Legends gamers are always on the hunt for ways to outplay rivals, whether it's through strategy, weapon choices, or character abilities. But sometimes, it's quick thinking and a dash of luck that saves the day.
One such move, the "armor swap", can be a game-changer during intense shootouts. In a recent match, an Apex player did the unexpected: they pulled off an armor swap while on a zipline.
Zipline Armor Swap Stuns Opponents
It's usually not possible to swap armor on a zipline, but this player beat the odds. With their teammate down and facing a 1v3 situation, they jumped into action. After taking down two enemies, they went for an armor swap from a purple deathbox. Unexpectedly, they started moving up the zipline, but the swap still went through. This surprise move, complete with fresh armor, caught the last opponent off guard, leading to a triumphant victory.
Fans and fellow players were impressed. One commented, "There's a specific range where the deathbox menu still works normally," suggesting this wasn't a glitch, just a fortunate interaction.
Although it's not clear how often this tactic can be successfully used, it's bound to inspire players to test their luck. However, a word of caution: don't fixate on this trick, as its rarity might end up being more risky than helpful.
Apex Legends is wrapping up its 18th season, with the excitement of Season 19 just around the corner.
