Simple Octane trick makes his grenades way more powerful in Apex Legends

Despite being out for several months now, many players are still discovering Apex Legends tricks, such as this one that allows you to throw grenades further as Octane just by using his Stim ability.

Octane is the newest Legend to come to Apex, meaning players have spent the least amount of time with him – which means there are still numerous ins and outs to be learned with the character.

Even some of the most seasoned Apex Legends players might not realize that coupling Octane’s Stim ability with grenade throwing actually allows you to chuck a grenade much farther than usual.

This tactic was pointed out by Reddit user Michael_D6 and confirmed by others in the replies, claiming that Octane does, indeed throw his grenades further while under the effects of the juice.

The description of Octane’s Stim ability only mentions that he moves 30% faster for six seconds and nothing else. Players also discovered that he is able to scale walls faster than usual.

When you couple this with his Launch Pad Ultimate, Octane very easily rivals Pathfinder as one of the more mobile Legends in the game and makes a great addition to any squad.

Shroud says he has played the new Legend.
