Octane is one of the most popular characters in Apex Legends, and has been a fan-favourite ever since his release all the way back in Season 1. Currently, the High-Speed Daredevil has an astonishing 9.9% pick rate, which puts him second in the overall rankings - just behind Pathfinder.

The most powerful part of Octane's kit is, without a doubt, his Launch Pad Ultimate. The handy perk propels him into the air and provides incredible rotations. As Octane mains are always looking for ways to take his abilities to the next level, one Apex YouTuber has done exactly that.

After experimenting with his Ultimate, they discovered a super launch glitch that makes the Launch Pad two times more powerful when it comes to velocity.

Super launch Octane glitch makes Ultimate twice as strong

Apex Legends YouTuber Dirt Skirty has discovered a new Octane Jump Pad super launch glitch that doubles the velocity and speed you can get from the Ultimate when flying through the air.

As a result, this trick allows you to travel significantly further, which can be especially useful when looking to rotate a long distance across the map. However, the process of setting it up does make it a niche technique that may be difficult to execute.

In order to perform the super launch, Dirty Skirty explains that you need to park a Trident between two double sliding doors. Following this, then throw a Jump Pad a few metres in front of the Trident on either the left or right-hand side.

Then, it's just a case of crouching on top of the trident, closing the double doors, and then holding forward towards the Jump Pad. This will push you directly onto the Ultimate and give you a massive velocity boost, almost doubling the power of the Launch Pad.

How useful is this Octane super launch glitch?

While this super launch technique is fun and gives you a huge boost when it comes to rotating or pushing a squad aggressively, the setup is extremely complex for a typical Apex game.

A lot of the time when you have a Trident, it'll be significantly safer and sensible to rotate with that instead of using this trick. Despite this, it's an interesting mechanic for Octane mains that pushes the Ultimate to its limits. Unfortunately, it's unlikely to become a meta-strategy anytime soon.
