Apex Legends' fast and fluid movement lends itself well to outrageous plays. As players slide around the map at high speed, leaping from rock to rock, they're all but guaranteed to land something impressive eventually.

Reddit user u/rustyshackle4701 got their chance recently and capitalized with a clip worthy of its more than 46,000 upvotes on the Apex Legends subreddit.

Playing as Bloodhound, rustyshackle4701 begins the clip chasing after an enemy trying their best to escape by sliding down a huge hill. Rather than allow them to flee, rustyshackle4701 activates their ultimate and slides after them.

The two slide together for a moment, the enemy ahead of rustyshackle4701 by a couple meters, when rustyshackle4701 decides to take this kill in style. They leap from the hill with their Bloodhound Heirloom in hand, sail through the air, and then, just as the enemy tries to jump out of their slide, land right in front of them, driving the Heirloom into their skull.

The flying axe strike is all it takes to kill the enemy, making for an incredibly dramatic murder and a successful hunt. The Allfather would be proud.
