Apex Legends players are facing a new plague called DDoS attacks. While Respawn has recently made some progress in dealing with these attackers, some still managed to slip through the cracks.
This one Apex Legends player decided to troll these exploiters using different tactics. After a whole lobby froze due to a presumed DDoS attack, the puppeteers made an attempt to kill players in the lobby for some free RP.
However, this Apex player actually lured the real culprit by pretending to be AFK while he was already reconnected to the server. And he also managed to convince his teammates to follow along with his AFK bait.
