A totally unique and admittedly bizarre Apex Legends trick shot sees a player pull off a 360 no-scope while playing the game with their feet. Respawn Entertainment's first-person shooter combines the battle royale and hero shooter genre, allowing players to choose from a wide pool of different playable characters and face off in small teams. Classic trick shot sniper skills have become a staple of the competitive first-person shooter genre, with the 360 no-scope being the premier example.
Apex Legends offers gamers a truly unique experience by combining hero shooters like Overwatch with battle royale titles like Fortnite. Each playable Legend comes with their own unique abilities, dramatically changing a team's strategies based on which characters are added to the lineup. Apex Legends' battle royale mechanic lets each group skydive into the map at their leisure, with weapons and resources being scavenged once players land. Since launch players have found many unique and impressive ways to conquer their foes, with an Apex Legends hip fire accuracy trick allowing one skilled player to easily mow down the competition.
Demonstrating remarkable toe dexterity and Apex Legends skill, Reddit user itsPsilo_youtube recently scored a round-winning no-scope using their feet. As reported by Dexerto, the versatile player was reportedly looking to add challenge to the battle royale shooter by playing with their feet. While this would put some gamers at a massive disadvantage, itsPsilo_youtube seemed to still be playing pretty well despite the bizarre setup. Attacked by an enemy towards the end of the round, the foot soldier launched themselves high into the air and did a number of 360 degree rotations. After the 360 spin they used their toe to fire a no-scope shot, killing the final enemy in style.
While some Apex Legends players limit themselves to increase the shooter's difficulty, Respawn Entertainment has carefully maintained the title's competitive balance since launch. In September 2021 the developer removed tap strafing from Apex Legends, bringing an end to a popular and powerful technique. The clever movement strategy allowed players to make sharp turns in the air while also maintaining their momentum, leading to incredibly fast movement. However, tap strafing was difficult to pull off on a controller, making it an inaccessible and unfair trick for console gamers.
Apex Legends is an extremely competitive shooter, but gamers like itsPsilo_youtube find the need to limit themselves in order to create an even more challenging and reward experience. While playing a first-person shooter using feet may sound like an extreme handicap, the skilled gamer seemed relatively unbothered. In fact, itsPsilo_youtube's incredible trick shot may lead other gamers to try playing Apex Legends with their feet.
Apex Legends is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android and PC.
