Apex Legends’ latest addition, the Evac Tower, has brought both versatility and frustration to the game. A squad of players recently fell victim to an exploit involving the tower, which left them trapped in mid-air during a crucial landing attempt.
In a Diamond-level ranked game, two players shared their unfortunate experience on Reddit. As they glided towards Cage in King’s Canyon, the Evac Tower suddenly appeared, disrupting their trajectory. They found themselves trapped in the balloon of the tower, unable to land for over 10 seconds.
The players expressed their disbelief, wondering if such a situation had ever occurred in the history of Apex Legends. To make matters worse, enemies were spotted beneath them, making them vulnerable while stuck in the air.
It remains unclear whether the enemy team intentionally deployed the Evac Tower to trap the players or if it was a fortunate coincidence. Regardless, the players were stuck for a total of 25 seconds until the tower naturally disappeared, allowing them to finally land. However, their timing was ruined, and they were left vulnerable upon touching the ground.
The deployment time of the Evac Tower is five seconds, making it nearly impossible to predict the position of flying enemies accurately. Nevertheless, players should not be able to be trapped inside the tower. The video clip shows the team trapped within invisible walls shaped like a balloon. Fortunately, they were eventually able to escape when the tower disappeared.
One player on Reddit mentioned their surprise that the balloon frame of the tower had a hitbox. It is unclear whether the developer, Respawn, will address this glitch and provide a fix. Players should be cautious of the potential for their game to be ruined by an Evac Tower in such a confusing manner.
In conclusion, the Evac Tower exploit in Apex Legends has caused frustration for players, as it can trap them in mid-air during crucial moments. The glitch, demonstrated by a squad in a Diamond-level ranked game, left them unable to land for over 10 seconds. Although the tower eventually disappeared, it disrupted their timing and made them vulnerable upon landing. It remains to be seen whether Respawn will address this issue and provide a fix for players.
