Had my first ranked win the other night. Playing with just one other random, no less.
He was Gibby, I was Path. Revenant went down and quit on us early on.
We ended up sneaking around, 3rd partying a big fire fight and barely surviving a clean-up attempt on us as the circle closed.
I managed to pull off one of those huge revives, grabbing his banner from outside the circle and using a bunch of syringes.
Much crouch-bowing and playful punch-thanking ensued.
Then we made a mad dash through the tunnel approaching Train Yard as the next circle closed, opening the vault and grabbing purple shields just in time.
We snuck our way into Train Yard, where another massive firefight was taking place.
We bided our time, and I zipped us to one of the far suspended containers where we sniped for a while, as other squads scrambled in from all directions.
Eventually we were pushed down to the large warehouse, where Gibby dropped a life-saving dome.
One final push to the fields using another zipline, where we battled the last squad around some vehicles.
I did some damage but went down. Started self reviving but then YOU ARE THE CHAMPION.
Gibby, that crazy sonofa came through! Cue more bowing, punching and shooting the sky.
Such an amazing and tense game. Awesome combination of timing, mutual trust and luck. I'm only Bronze 1 now but just had to share.
Best thing about it was my wife randomly decided to watch me play, and she got really into it, asking questions the whole time. (The only other games she's enjoyed watching/playing were the original Dark Souls and TLoU Factions, so this was a big deal lol).
We were both going spare at the end. The highs of Apex are truly unique.
