How To Play Octane (properly)

In this guide I'll show you how to play octane the right way

Who is octane?

One day, Octavio Silva was bored. In fact, he was bored most days. Son of the preoccupied CEO of Silva Pharmaceuticals, he wanted for nothing in life and entertained himself by performing death-defying stunts and posting holovids for his fans to gawk over. On this day, he decided to set the course record for a nearby Gauntlet by launching himself across the finish line – using a grenade.
As he lay in triage hours later, the doctors informed him that the damage done to his legs meant his daredevil days were over. That didn’t sit well with Octavio, who turned to an old friend for help: Ajay Che, who he guilted into forging an order to replace his legs with bionic ones. Suddenly able to repair his limbs at a moment’s notice, Octavio decided petty online stunts weren’t enough: the ultimate adrenaline rush, the Apex Games, was calling.

Since then, Octane's world has gotten a little more complicated - his CEO father is now head of the Syndicate and, by extension, the Apex Games. Also, he may be plotting something pretty bad behind the scenes, and is maybe kind of not Octane's real dad? But that's just boring in a different, more uncomfortable way! Nothing matters more to Octane than becoming an Apex Champion by doing the most incredible, death-defying moves anyone's ever seen. In the ring, his problems can't catch him - he's too fast.

Stim

Stim: Increase walk speed by 30% and sprint speed by 40% for 6 seconds. Costs Health to use. Reduction to slows while active.

Tips: You use this for everything you are an addict you are hooked to that stuff but be advised this shi costs 20 health (or all health but 1, if Octane has 20 or less health) you can't kill yourself with it (sadly) so if you are in a pickle and have to dip out of there just use it you have nothing to lose and that 40% speed boost can help you escape just try to dodge and weave as many bullets as possible

Don't use stim before hitting a jumppad use it after landing off from jump pad that will give you more speed in the long run

Always stim in close range shotgun fights cuz they are hit or miss if you opponent misses you you have a chance to hit them freely that speed boost comes in clutch

Always scout out for evo harvesters you are the fastest mf in the match so you need to chase evo harvesters for you and your teammates

Whenever you are about to use a movement tech just stim beforehand speed boost will always help you with those movement techs

You can bunny hop while healing with stim its easy you just need to use stim start bunny hopping and use healing items right away

Using stim at the last 0.5 seconds on a med kit or pheonix kit will give you a free stim always take advantage of it

Passive:

Swift Mend: Automatically restores health over time.After avoiding damage for 6 seconds, Octane restores 1 health per second

Tips: Its a basic regen but remember you need to use heals too don't relly on this too much or you will get smoked

Always use batteries first when healing and let you passive heal the health while you are healing your shields

Ultimate:

Launch Pad: Deploy a jump pad that catapults anyone through the air. Press the jump button to double jump.

Charge time:1.5 minutes (fast asf boi)

Tips: If you want to bounce up on the jump pad you need to stand in front of the jump pad don't move and just punch/melee the air and you will bounce like a ball just use this to scout areas if you want

If you want to reverse jump on the pad you need to stand in front of it and punch the air then put your movement reverse then you will launch back

Crucial Tip!!: Learn how to tap strafe (watch some videos abt it it helps so much)

You can help your downed teammates with your jump pad to launch them in the air get them to safe position and get them up

Its actually a basic ult just use it to reposition you and your team

How can you be a independent Octane one trick?

First of all embrace the octane mentality and think you are the fastest mf in existance (you are not)
Be calm under pressure and keep on stimming and just lose it sometimes

Be a team player don't rush into full teams and die play with your team and communicate

Don't be a selfish man child
