I have 20k total kills on Valk and this is the first time I’ve seen this happen. I am very curious as to how this would look from someone else perspective. Definitely a glitch but if I could replicate it, this may be kinda useful for scanning beacons that are very exposed.

So to kick things off let me explain a little about me. I would consider myself a high skill diamond player or low masters. I do not have countless hours to grind at the game and only play 2 days a week for a few hours. For the most part I am solo queueing, I do have friends that play but overall they are much lower skill players (I’m friends for the vibes)

I have solo queued to masters multiple season and it sure is a grind. At this point when I play, I hop on to have fun, play in competitive matches but I don’t really want to sweat like I’m in an algs match for hours straight. I really only like playing ranked on apex because I like the way matches play out way more than modes like wildcard and pubs. So here’s where the problem lies, I usually reach diamond rather quick. This means I am playing against the most no life people imaginable within my first 100 games. On top of that, most of my friends just get destroyed if they try and queue with me. So…… in comes the alt accounts or Smurf as they’re called.

As I showed with the 4 pictures of my accounts I’m trying to be as transparent as possible. But truly I don’t think of myself a being that stereotypical “Smurf” everyone thinks of. I’m not going down into bronze/silver/ or even low gold, to run through lobbies and get 20 bombs left and right. I agree that just destroys the game for players who are actually down at that level. My resets are almost always Gold 1/ Plat 4 on all my accounts (this is usually where most masters get reset on season restart) I don’t think I remember the last time I’ve even been below Gold 2. So truthfully I don’t think the way I’m using “smurfing” is that bad. I’m well aware I’m biased and maybe I’m looking at the way I’m doing things through rose tinted glasses.

I “Smurf” not to get extremely low elo lobbies or stomp, I use it to play with my friends so we can vibe on ranked. I do it to still have competitive lobbies but I’m just an unc who’s not up for solo grinding to masters anymore. I want to game for fun.

Please share your opinions, whether you think I’m totally wrong or not! All thoughts are welcome.

So many times I tell randoms not to jump down so I can wipe the spiders fast. And I get the response “I didn’t know you could do that”

It is very simple, just stand in any sort of doorway or opening to funnel them. Shoot the pods from furthest to closest while slowly back stepping them towards you. Think cod zombies training. Then as the first spider is visual passing through the door throw one nade or arc, then one more nade or arc to wipe them as the jump out.

Obviously I’m aware I ran down the timer to try and escape at the beginning, but flying by a bush being a death sentence makes no sense lol.

I have almost all of valks skins, so if you have any others that you might think match better please list.
