Ratting is an essential part of Apex Legends. Sometimes, a fight doesn’t go your way, and the smartest play is just to cut your losses and go hide somewhere. It might not be the most fun or interesting strategy to go with, but in ranked or competitive play, ratting can earn you and your team valuable points just by virtue of letting other teams fight things out and eliminate each other while you get a better placement.
While many of the best hiding spots on some of the game’s older maps like World’s Edge are well-established, there always seems to be one or two new spots that pop up and surprise people. That was the case today when Pioneers player Max-Strafe looked like he was heading for a swift end, only to find a lifeline in the form of a lamp.
