Apex Legends Octane: How to win with the new legend

In this character guide to Apex Legend s you will learn:

what Octane costs you
what you have to keep in mind when using "Stim
how to regenerate your life without medikits

Along with the release of Season 1, Apex Legends has added a new character. The speed-trimmed legend Octane will mix up the Apex games in the future.

We'll tell you if - or how - Octane is worth buying for you.

Buy Apex Legends' newcomer Octane

Like Mirage or Caustic, Octane isn't just unlocked for every Apex player. You'll need to shell out either 12,000 Legends Tokens or 750 Apex Coins to unlock him

This means either investing time and leveling up 20 levels (you'll receive 600 tokens per level up ) or buying the smallest available Apex Coins pack for 9.99 Euros with 1000 .

Apex Legends Octane - Passive Ability: Fast Healing

You can't really talk about fast healing with Octane's passive ability. The health regeneration is very slow - one health point every two seconds - but it can still save your life.

Especially at the beginning of a round, when you don't have a lot of syringes or medikits on you after initial battles, you can at least slowly heal yourself back up with the passive ability.

But even in the heat of battle, you'll regenerate life when you're not taking damage. However, it takes a short time for the life regeneration to reactivate after you take damage.

Apex Legends Octane - Tactic Ability: Stim

The tactic ability "Stim" is similar to Bangalore's passive ability "Run Step", which makes her run faster when fired upon. However, you can activate Stim at virtually any time to give you a 30% speed boost for six seconds. A cooldown is almost non-existent at only two seconds. However, the ability does have a catch, as each activation costs you ten health points.

Here are some important tips and tricks for Octane's Stim tactic ability:

Use "Stim" at the beginning of the round to quickly loot and sprint from one house to the next.
You can't kill yourself with it, you always have at least one health point left.
Don't just stand still with "Stim" during the fight, keep moving - this makes it very hard for your opponent to hit you.
Passive healing is suspended while using Stim, but immediately reactivates when the speed boost stops.
You can also use medikits or shield batteries while using Stim.

Apex Legends Octane - Ultimate Ability: Jump Cushion

Octance's Ulti, like his Tactics ability, is all about speed. You can throw a jump pillow in front of you that will catapult you and your teammates through the air.

The jumping pillow is perfect for surprising enemies who are cradled in safety on rooftops. Place the pillow in front of the house and jump in front of your enemies ' faces with your shotgun at the ready. The element of surprise should give you the decisive advantage.

A few more insider tips about Octane's jumping pillow:

If you press the jump button the moment you run over the jumping cushion, the cushion catapults you a little higher and further.
Grenades also bounce off the jump cushion.
Team mates who are knocked out and crawling on the ground can use the pillow to get to safety.
Be careful: the jump pillow has a very small hitbox, so you may end up throwing it between stairs.

Octane is an exciting addition to the existing characters in Apex Legends. His speed-based playstyle will give you plenty of new options, and the jump pillow is sure to provide a fun situation or two in Apex games.
