Apex Legends Vantage bug lets you dash like Jett in Valorant

Apex Legends' Vantage has been a relative hit so far in Season 14 - so much so that someone was dedicated enough to reach 1,000 kills with her in only the first 30 hours of the new season. Players are loving her kit, which is a combination of long-range damage with her always active ultimate and interesting movement mechanics thanks to her jetpack and adorable pet bat, Echo.

However, did you know that Vantage can even perform abilities found in rival competitive FPS game Valorant? Well, she can, but it certainly isn't intentional.

Players are quickly mastering how to use a bizarre bug to their advantage, which will result in Vantage performing a rapid sideways dash, much like Valorant's agile duelist Jett. When combined with a double jump as well, you're able to pull off some rather scary-looking movement that would definitely bamboozle an opponent in a close-range gunfight.

One Apex Legends Vantage main has hit 1,000 kills in 30 hours

We know we can't exactly speak for everyone who plays Apex Legends, but it's safe to say that Vantage has made her mark on the popular battle royale already by offering players a unique kit with both mobility and long-range precision at the forefront of its design. Whether you like Vantage or not, you might be surprised to learn that one player has already racked up 1,000 kills with Vantage in Apex Legends Season 14 - despite the fact that it hasn't even been a week yet!

On August 11 at 00:39 BST, which works out to be 16:39 PST / 19:39 EST on August 10, Counter Logic Gaming's William 'Vatroh' Fickett announced to the world that he was the first Apex Legends player to hit hit the 1,000 kill marker with new legend Vantage. If this doesn't impress you, allow us to explain why it's actually quite an incredible feat.

In an effort to put this into some sort of perspective, you have to take into account that Vatroh made this announcement to the world a little over 30 hours after Apex Legends' Season 14 update actually dropped.

There's a hidden Titanfall 2 cameo in Apex Legends Season 14

One thing you may have noticed since Apex Legends Season 14 dropped are the mysterious, silhouetted figures being held prisoner in the background of the new lobby, which is set inside the GDS Vantage (y'know, the ship from this Story from the Outlands). Well, a dataminer appears to have found out who is being held captive behind the glass, and they may seem familiar to those who have played Titanfall 2's campaign.

Posting the results of their datamine on Twitter, 'KralRindo' shows the character model used for the prisoners, and amazingly, it's an IMC scientist. The model is wearing the same outfit worn by the scientists during the Titanfall 2 campaign, most notably in the Effect and Cause mission, as was pointed out by 'ApexLMGLover' in the comments.

While Apex Legends is of course set in the same universe as Titanfall and is closely connected, what is a character model from TF2 doing locked up in the Apex lobby? KralRindo believes that this is just simply a convenient asset that Respawn has reused to give the lobby a bit more atmosphere.
