An Apex Legends player developed a clever plan to confuse his opponents by pretending to be the MRVN Easter egg on the Olympus map. It is fair to say that it was an overwhelming success, outwitting hordes of enemies.
The 7th season of Apex Legends was released on November 4th and with it came the new map, Olympus. As with any Apex map, Respawn brought some surprises for fans to discover while playing. One of these Easter eggs 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 besides the Pathfinder that was found. In addition, 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 highly contested launch zone on Olympus.
The Apex Legends player uses the MRVN robot to confuse enemies
A topic posted on the Apex Legends subreddit revealed a trick to confuse opponents using Pathfinder and the MRVN Easter egg. At the time of writing, the post had more than 8,000 positive votes and almost 200 comments.
While most players saw a simple Easter egg, Kam1yo saw an unmissable opportunity. He decided to play as Pathfinder and replace the MRVN easter egg with himself to see if his opponents noticed.
The simple trick was incredibly effective with countless opponents running past it, with some even stopping to take a look at what they thought was the MRVN Easter egg.
At one point, he even chose to punch an enemy before once again resuming his position as the MRVN robot. The opposing Mirage was completely clueless, not knowing what had happened.
That’s how you BAMBOOZLE your enemies. Pretend to be a MARVN! 😀 from r / apexlegends
It is fair to say that the clever trick was an overwhelming success and left several Apex players completely confused. However, this may be something that players will now be wiser since its discovery and the popularity of the Reddit post. Countless players will now take the opportunity to pretend to be MVRN.
Now, though, it looks like your best bet is to take the robot out whenever you enter the room from now on. After all, prevention is better than cure.
