Being the jumpmaster is never easy, as one Apex Legends player shows why they should never hold the title again.
Upon picking up Apex Legends, you’ll find there’s a lot to learn in the battle royale made by Respawn Entertainment.
From mastering all the playable characters to understanding optimal looting strategies, there’s plenty to learn to dominate the competition.
One of the most underrated skills to have is good jumpmaster etiquette, as you must lead your team to safety while setting the tone for a good match start. Unfortunately for this Apex Legends player, they’re keenly aware of how lacking their tech is.

The title of jumpmaster has been a filler of sorts, as other battle royale games let players jump at their whim. Developer Respawn Entertainment takes this position seriously; when the jumpmaster jumps, everyone jumps.
One Apex Legends player got stuck with the role, leading their team on a ride of a lifetime. Landing on the side of the turbine, they slid down the map through the out-of-bounds areas.

Normally, a situation like this wouldn’t have been a problem. The player could’ve picked up both banners and beelined to the nearest respawn beacon.
However, the gravity of the situation sinks in as Newcastle’s box looks from above, stuck on the edge of the building.

It all ends with the ironic “You’re safe with Gibraltar.”
