A player from Apex Legends has devised a clever plan to confuse his opponents by pretending to be the MRVN Easter egg on Olympus’ map. It is fair to say that it was an overwhelming success and hordes of bamboo enemies.
Season 7 of Apex Legends launches on November 4 and comes with the brand new map, Olympus. As with any Apex card, Respawn has packed some surprises for fans to discover while playing. One such Easter egg is the deactivated MRVN robot, located in the maintenance area of the island.
For fans, this discovery was extremely exciting as it was the first MRVN robot other than Pathfinder to be found. On top of that, Respawn also made the Easter egg destructible so players could kill the disabled robot if they wanted to.
The MRVN Easter egg is located in a very controversial drop zone on Olympus.
Apex Legends player uses MRVN robot to confuse enemies
A thread posted to the Apex Legends subreddit revealed a trick to confuse opponents with Pathfinder and the MRVN Easter egg. At the time of writing, the post has more than 8,000 votes and nearly 200 comments.
Where most players saw only a simple Easter egg, Kam1yo saw an indispensable opportunity. He decided to play as Pathfinder and replace the MRVN Easter egg with himself to see if his opponents spot it.
The simple trick was incredibly effective with numerous opponents running past him, and some even stopped to look at what they thought was the MRVN Easter egg.
At one point, he even chose to strike an enemy before resuming his position as the MRVN robot. The opposing Mirage was left completely unaware, unaware of what had happened.
This is how you BAMBOOZEL your enemies. Just pretend to be a MARVN! 😀 by r / apexlegends
It is fair to say that the clever trick was an overwhelming success and that many Apex players were completely confused. However, this is perhaps something that players will now be wiser to since its discovery and the popularity of the Reddit post. Many players will now take the opportunity to pretend to be MVRN.
However, it now appears that it is best for you to remove the robot when you enter the room from now on. After all, it’s better to be safe than to be sorry.
