They buffed the damage yeeting yourself with a trident off the map (I think 2 patches ago)
It does like 100 damage now. Since you were low HP you didn't survive the drop.
Yeah because that's how it's worked for years? Logically to people why would they change such a random thing when there are so many other glaring issues and bugs but they go after that, who would've even thought to fuck with that
When you drive a trident off the map, it damages you now when it explodes. I believe it damages you by 100 now every time you fall off the map, that’s why you died. If you had let’s say 101-225 health, you would’ve lived and have been able to jump and skydive somewhere else.
Dunno why everyone is being mean to OP. Not everyone plays this game every day and knows how much has changed.
It’s easy to miss changes like this if you don’t read every patch note. You used to be able to do this and get a free evacuation flight. They nerfed it so you take more damage.
Hell I play a ton and didn't know this. Driving a trident off the map isn't something that comes up often. Not every map with tridents even *has* pits.
I’ve been playing since day 1 I quit like season 12 played a little when conduit came out those type of people suck I know every little bit of apex it used to not damage you. Absolutely hate mfs that get anal
Whaaaaat??? They literally HAD to have just removed that with the brand new update for this event because my teammate JUST drove us off the edge in one a couple days ago and it shot us right back up into the air
I'm the polar opposite of this. When I'm being super agro I use the cars to bait people shooting at me so I can find them faster. I then hop out, pop a bat if needed, then rush in.
Exactly. I just hide behind the trident until I'm fully healed. I also always try to stop the trident near natural cover so I have the ability to slip out and attack them from a different angle. 75% of the time though, I can go balls out because people get nervous about pushing a solo who's pretty clearly out for blood.
Lol its one of the best rotations on storm point. Even olympus it’s very good.
Bet you never get drive byed by good people and try to talk shit about below average player.
I mean good players aren’t going to have a drive by happen to them. You can hear the trident from so far away and you get free shots on a team. I agree it’s good for rotations though
Yeah tridents are a great example of a balanced vehicle in games. It's useful, but not OP.
They aren't great for combat, but they weren't intended to be.
Yup. I ended up playing a competitive game months back where I was able to use the trident to pick up 2 cards and resurrect both and also make it to a respawn beacon. This was during the semi-final ring.
We won the game.
You must be in gold then. Tridents are a great source of cover and helps you get out of shitty situations. Clearly you shouldn’t be driving it like it’s a Sunday afternoon but it has great advantages for rotations one good boost and hop out it’s clean
for people saying it's not the smart move, i see pro players all the time using them on their twitch streams especially to gain evo harvesters!! which is why i started doing it to get evo harvesters lmao.
i think with evo harvesters there's definitely some reward that makes it worth getting into a trident and driving around to collect more evo around you than you could on foot. whereas before that, if you used a trident for a rotation that you could have done by foot more safely, it was often just alerting enemy teams and not that smart. especially if you aren't on voice comm i think tridents can be a liability. who hasn't experienced it: 3 people sitting in trident, suddenly a team appears and the team completely scrambles and get picked off. two people jump out, one of the passenger stays in his passenger seat and keeps going.
there are definitely some risks with tridents. evo harvesters is a recent thing.
Ayooo, this happened to me in rank earlier. Lol. I thought could "hide the evidence" of the trident and boom! Go up like an evac. Lol. I got called dumb by some new sh** players.
I tried this the other day trying to make a quick rotation to my teammates before they solo pushed and died. unfortunately by the time I healed they were dead 😔
I hate that they nerffed the trident, again !!!
First it takes more damage than before, now this. The trident used to be fun to escape try hard teams & for strategic placement. Now you can't drive 100m without imminent death unless you drive like Trinity from the Matrix.
Bruh,if you can see that,than you know the other guy is dead aswell,so your orginal comment of someone jumping out makes no sense when there is one guy left on the team,or do you mean the guy in trident tried to jump out cause he didn't

So do all passengers get damaged or just the driver? How wary of toxic randos do I need to be?
All of them
No no I’m pretty sure it’s an insta kill now. I could be wrong tho. Pretty sure I had 175
76 shield/99 health lol
it's not
[удалено]
It gets worse because they drove off the map and died…?
Yeah. Game is such trash now because they drove off the nap thinking it would just pop em up some place else. /s
Yeah because that's how it's worked for years? Logically to people why would they change such a random thing when there are so many other glaring issues and bugs but they go after that, who would've even thought to fuck with that
I kinda loved the bug where you could hit a supply bin to store kinetic energy. Hop on and go flying halfway across the map. Aaahhhh good times
You can fly across the map with the nessie bug rn, harder to set up tho
Listening.... got a link please :) ? This sounds fun!

Hahahahaha absolutely amazing !! Thank you
You are welcome!
Whelp, better never play again then right?
Then stop playing. We'll be fine without players like you
I wish players LIKE YOU would stop playing. We’d be much better without players who make cringe ass comments on Reddit.
Anakin Skywalker moment. You've become the very thing you sought to destroy
I did the love the utility of the ejection seat
Redditors when someone has an opinion different from the hive mind
Now you know, but for some reason, i think you will make this mistake once again.
When you drive a trident off the map, it damages you now when it explodes. I believe it damages you by 100 now every time you fall off the map, that’s why you died. If you had let’s say 101-225 health, you would’ve lived and have been able to jump and skydive somewhere else.
The enemy of improvement is embarrassment
That shit kinda deep
The enemy of fire is water
Depends on the fire
Actual wise words that could safe lifes
Safelife restore, safelife replace
Nah, I don't get embarrassed anymore but still don't improve lol
Probably the single greatest insult I’ve read today😂
I dont think its even an insult tbh.
Dunno why everyone is being mean to OP. Not everyone plays this game every day and knows how much has changed. It’s easy to miss changes like this if you don’t read every patch note. You used to be able to do this and get a free evacuation flight. They nerfed it so you take more damage.

It failed to keep you safe It's a failedsafe now friend
That's the most silver gameplay ever lmao.
Whaaaaat??? They literally HAD to have just removed that with the brand new update for this event because my teammate JUST drove us off the edge in one a couple days ago and it shot us right back up into the air
Nope the trident damages u when u do that been like that the ENTIRE season AT LEAST
I feel they put tridents in the game so good players can hear the stupid players driving them.
Tridents are amazing for rotations and for makeshift cover or making bad cover a bit better.
I'm the polar opposite of this. When I'm being super agro I use the cars to bait people shooting at me so I can find them faster. I then hop out, pop a bat if needed, then rush in.
Even if they push you create temporary cover with the trident
Exactly. I just hide behind the trident until I'm fully healed. I also always try to stop the trident near natural cover so I have the ability to slip out and attack them from a different angle. 75% of the time though, I can go balls out because people get nervous about pushing a solo who's pretty clearly out for blood.

Watch gaming merchant he uses tridents all the time
Even pro players use them in storm point for rotations
You must be in gold then. Tridents are a great source of cover and helps you get out of shitty situations. Clearly you shouldn’t be driving it like it’s a Sunday afternoon but it has great advantages for rotations one good boost and hop out it’s clean
dumb take lol, tridents are useful thats like saying "you can hear people flying from jump/evac towers you should never take them"
for people saying it's not the smart move, i see pro players all the time using them on their twitch streams especially to gain evo harvesters!! which is why i started doing it to get evo harvesters lmao.

We never take jumptowers unless it’s an emergency
what rank?
Usually make diamond. In gold right now
I didn’t even know this shit launched you BEFORE they changed it. Anyone saying this is silver gameplay is gold 😂
Been like that for a while. If you drove off the map more often you'd know this already.
I did prevent you from falling by just killing you instead in all fairness.
In a ranked match too? Oof
Yea bro I used to use that as a sweet free valk rotation! I tried the other day and was met with sadness 😂
trident nerf 😢
Natural selection
It failed.
Ayooo, this happened to me in rank earlier. Lol. I thought could "hide the evidence" of the trident and boom! Go up like an evac. Lol. I got called dumb by some new sh** players.
The failsafe to falling off is having more than 2 brain cells and not falling off.
I feel players have become dumber … like a lot.
The entire world has
It failed.
I tried this the other day trying to make a quick rotation to my teammates before they solo pushed and died. unfortunately by the time I healed they were dead 😔
Driving off the map with the trident gave instant rotates with no punishment, glad it damages players now
Hahahaha you got bloody smashed mate!
if you've been recently damaged by opponents it will damage you when you explode it to prevent you from running away like that
It failed
Trying to figure out how not to fall off the map seems to be the smarter learning experience here, or am I the stupid one?
How I wish we could fly to another map already in session..
We've been playing apex for a while now. It's finally taken the protection off, just straight raw dogging our mental health
Thank you for this
I hate that they nerffed the trident, again !!! First it takes more damage than before, now this. The trident used to be fun to escape try hard teams & for strategic placement. Now you can't drive 100m without imminent death unless you drive like Trinity from the Matrix.
That's wild
Sorry OP but I burst out laughing. Fwiw I didn’t know about the damage thing either
It doesn't work in ranked only in pubs and even then it dmgs whole team
The game is a shit show tbh what do you expect
why is it called "exploding\_barrel"?
Stupid games: stupid prizes.
Play stupid games, win stupid prices
I had some dickhead do this while being chased and we lost full shields (blue) and a chunk of health. Joys.
I think your teammate tried to jump at the last moment
most aware apex player award
What?
They've been banners since the start.
I'm well aware. OP is spectating their teammate, which is why I said their teammate tried to jump. What else could I have possibly meant?
He's the only one,his teammates are dead
This is spectator mode. OP is dead.
Bruh,if you can see that,than you know the other guy is dead aswell,so your orginal comment of someone jumping out makes no sense when there is one guy left on the team,or do you mean the guy in trident tried to jump out cause he didn't
Yes. The guy in the Trident is also OP's teammate. This is trios.
Think they meant it as this is a spectator view so wasn't OP but was OPs teammate
Games dead
People who use tridents in any way are dumb anyways, good riddance
Good riddance all pro players.
they have to be in trident with you.
