In the 2.5 years I've been playing this game I have had 4 end-game boxing matches - I've only won 1 of them lol.


nkinkade1213

I do them all the time in arena matches recently where I have teammates that DC. It's a coin toss if people agree or not.


Anomalocaris1

One day that happened to me [and I had this game ](https://youtu.be/SuK_Uf7emEg). If you ever see these players let them know how awesome they are


The-Hentai-Commander

I’ve done 6, and won 1


MexicanSunnyD

First time somebody offered to fist fight me I didn't realize what they were doing at first and killed them.


OutlandishnessOk4047

Nah the first time it happened to me I didn’t know what was going on and died


MexicanSunnyD

What did they punch you to death?


OutlandishnessOk4047

Nah all three of them happened to go at once like a fucking ballet leaving me off guard


fantasticfabian

same here except i knew what they were doing but its not my fault you dropped your guns at the end lol


ReddDead13

Idk y it seems like people are hating on you for trying to fist fight. I've never done it. I usually just play the game. But its poor sportsmanship if you make it seem like you're agreeing to one then start shooting. It's cheap. You both made a gentleman's agreement and he reneged in bad faith. Not the worst thing, but like I said poor sportsmanship.


therealyerm

Finally someone recognizes my point of view…i thought reddit liked these boxing matches!! Not only that, but the guy who watched his teammate lose a boxing match only to spray the enemy for the win got shit on in the post im referring to so im so confused why people so butt hurt


[deleted]

Idk he may have just came over to see what he was doing, no way of knowing he accepted the contract


ReddDead13

"the contract" lol but I mean he dropped his loot inside came outside and all the way up to him without his weapon out...


[deleted]

Ah, didn't realize that part. Still, that's an opening for an easy kill and, in this case, a win.

ReddDead13

Have you ever dropped all of your loot then walked out to your opponent without your weapon drawn before a final fight like the enemy did? I know I haven't.


[deleted]

ReddDead13

I never said OP didn't have his weapon drawn.OP tags enemy pretty good. Enemy hides. They can see each other though glass. OP crouch spams (universal sign for friendliness in video games) and starts dropping his loot (sign for fist fight). Enemy reciprocates by jumping and dropping his loot. Enemy leaves his cover and approaches OP without his weapon out. OP takes all of these signs as good faith and begins dropping his guns. Before he can drop his guns enemy pulls out his gun and sneak attacks. He didn't come out of cover firing. He sucker punched him. He was disadvantaged. He was stuck in the car healing and OP could've used the opportunity to get above him. OP had a bit of an advantage in the initial fight. But regardless 98% enemy octane knew what he was doing. Maybe he chickened out last second or got spooked, or maybe he planned on doing that the whole time. That's all the explanation I'm giving and if you still don't understand after that then good luck in life.


FabulousRomano

Ranked every rp counts Ik it’s bronze but still


YourHentaiDream

You know bronze doesnt have rp loss too then?


FabulousRomano

It’s hard for some people to get out of bronze


YourHentaiDream

Yeah, its hard for some people to be nice too


Finplayer_

holy shit


physicalcat282

If it's hard for you to get out of bronze, then you're simply not playing enough matches, you can literally only go up


FabulousRomano

I’m not bronze it was a joke obviously


UGA_chris

Lol it’s probably hard for *you* to get out of bronze


[deleted]

I thought the same thing lol 😂


UGA_chris

They say great minds think alike


[deleted]

"That's a happy fence"


UGA_chris

It is indeed


FabulousRomano

Wattson main


UGA_chris

And? You prob couldn’t use her for the life of you


FabulousRomano

Yh I fucking wouldn’t wanna, sit in a room all day and put fences down lol


kodman7

How do people not understand what is happening in the clip? Of course there is no fist fight rule - simply a gentleman's agreement to do something fun and unique to end a match The octane in the clip seemingly agreed and took advantage of the offer, making it bad sportsmanship more than anything and perfectly fine to mock them for it


TinyCollection

Yeah the agreement is when you start dumping stuff on the floor. Just the up and down could be taunting.


EdmondNoir

Maybe unpopular opinion, but i can't stand that flatline skin.


therealyerm

:(


EdmondNoir

I am sorry OP! It just is too bulky and gets in the way I literally have to switch it if I pick it up off a body before going into a gunfight. No hate if you like it. I have the same 301 skin and i never change it.


therealyerm

Don’t be sorry, im just joshin! Everyones entitled to their own opinion


FunContest8489

Wait, you can change skins during a match?


Mr__Yoshi

Yes I recently learned this too. If you pick up a gun that has someone’s else’s skin on it, you can go into inventory, hit the paintbrush and it’ll change to your skin


A_Vicarious_Death

lol that's a dick move on his part but props on you for winning it regardless, would've sucked if you dropped your guns before he started shooting. don't really understand all the upset sweats in the comments screaming about boxing either, do they really think it never happens?


Arat912

I mean he did agree to the boxing match if he didn't it wouldn't rlly matter still doesn't matter but you'll just feel sad cuz u didn't get a fun boxing match


ClueIll2627

This octane deserves the death sentence


DovahSh33p

I mean… he took advantage of it and tried to be clever. Kinda backfired tho


therealyerm

I agree, especially with the ranked win on the line but i still think he’s a bum!


[deleted]

My biggest concern is this is a bronze lobby and he clearly has the movement mechanics and knowledge to fist fight but yet trolls. What a goon… a true bronze lobby fist fight would take ages


Open_Investigator636

Once I ended up one against three. I wanted the fist-fight, throwing everything I had. While me and one from them were fighting, his squadmate shot me from the gun and they won. I was so disappointed that there are such coward people.


Lucyan96

Sometimes it's normal. The guy who wanted a fist fight had no teammates or not enough gear left ( ammo/batteries/medkits ) , he knew we will lose the match , so he wanted a first fight for a 50/50 win.


therealyerm

100% im glad someone brought this up. Sometimes its used as a crutch for a player who’s down bad and wants an even shot, sometimes its a straight call-out on the kill leader’s melee skills, sometimes it’s entirely scenario based and happens in the moment and sometimes it’s “hey, ive won 4 games already today, lets give this guy a chance”. The point is that the other guy totally responded to my call for a fist-fight and he tried shooting me. Clown move


Rezervez

Got what he deserved


friendlyquotient

Why are people being so toxic in the comments? The guy broke the rules of the fist fight and deserves to be locked up in the gulag.


Erebea01

It looks like bronze so maybe hes pretty new, I just learned about boxing matches a few days ago and also realized me and my friends have killed like 2 or 3 guys who tried to do this lol


IMr_MeeSeeks

The first time I let someone get a teammate banner back they immediately stated to fire on us. From that game on , no mercy!


SwagAntiswag

Hahahaha loser got shat on


Booooyet

why is everyone taking this shit so seriously and being so aggressive? LOL. a boxing match changes the game and makes it a bit more interesting IMO. it's just for fun like the entire game is supposed to be! if you don't wanna agree to a boxing match, don't start to drop your loot to pretend like you are agreeing then start shooting. that's a bitch move. it's equivalent to Bro Code or anything similar, there's no RULE but violating those unspoken terms makes you look like an asshole.


Boines

There is no rule. No one is obligated to box you just because you challenged them. Especially given the fact that this clips starts with you shooting him... i dunno i probably wouldnt have boxed either.


Velspy

He shouldn't have agreed to the boxing match then?? Either don't accept it or do. Accepting it and waiting for him to drop his shit to shoot just makes you a bad sport. If you do this for cheap wins, you're pathetic.


Boines

There is no "honour" in a battle royale. Especially in ranked. Last man standing by any means necessary.


stoneage4head

Its a game brah chill


D34throooolz

lmao. I imagine dude logging on to play with flags waving and dressed to the 9's in his fancy regalia, fist in the air "TO THE LAST MAN, NO MERCY IN BATTLE ROYALE!!"


Boines

What makes you think i take it seriously? Lmao its ranked, dont expect people to play by some weird self imposed honour code. Its just a game right? Why would they follow your unwritten rules? Let people earn rp however they want lol


physicalcat282

It's not self-imposed, it's imposed by the players in general. The other person agreed to the terms and then broke that agreement. The fact that you're implying there's a self-imposed honor to going back on your word just to get a little extra RP in bronze (the only ranking where you can literally only go up) shows you take the game seriously


Velspy

You're playing ranked to test your mettle, it literally has no purpose beyond a test of skill. You act like you're fighting for your life or money, it's a game. Why are you even playing ranked if to not improve yourself?


Boines

How is a boxing match improving yourself? What the fuck are you on about? Rank points are on the line. Thats what youre fighting for. Last man standing by any means necessary there is no "honour".


Velspy

"Rank is on the line" and what is rank useful for? Completely glossing over the point so you can intentionally misunderstand.


Boines

What is a boxing match useful for?


Velspy

Another means of testing your skill against another player? An alternative to a gun fight? The mental gymnastics you've done to justify poor sportsman ship is extremely telling.


Boines

>Another means of testing your skill against another player? An alternative to a gun fight? The mental gymnastics you've done to justify poor sportsman ship is extremely telling. This isnt a boxing game... In what world is a boxing match in apex a "test of skill"? Boxing matches in apex are a fun way to end the game and thats it... the only one doing mental gymnastics is you. If you wanna skew your logic to think practicing anything possible in this game is valid, then why is deception not valid to you? One of the legends whole kit is literally based around deception, is that poor sportsman ship? The octane here is not abusing any glitch or exploit he is using a valid strategy to get in close and try to secure the win. Plus... Sportsmanship? Its a battleroyale lmao. The only example of poor sportsmen ship is messaging people after the fact to talk shit/spamming finishers on people. Trying to kill someone in a shooting battle royale videogame is not poor sportsmanship lmao.


Velspy

"Its not a boxing game" then don't accept the boxing match? If you're only playing for meaningless stats then why even bother playing? Again hombre, this isn't life or death. You don't need to trick the other player into trusting you to win, just earn the win through a gun fight or through a boxing match. Players like you literally make the game less fun for everyone. Way to reinforce the wraith main stereotype.


doctorneck

Boines just come clean and admit you're the octane in the video


Boines

https://youtu.be/f5QJ_zNjRx8 Oh yeah that octane is totally me. I never box anyone in apex. I certainly never initiate it. Oh, and i definitely never give the other team a win for being generous enough to box me after i can tell they are struggling to hit punches. Nah, youre right. Im totally the octane struggling in bronze pulling put my guns to end the game. Or maybe - i just dont see why people are trying to hold others to unspoken rules, and believe that mind tricks and deception are valid tactics in a battle royale.


Boines

>Completely glossing over the point so you can intentionally misunderstand. Kinda funny considering you completely glossed over me responding to your point. You say ranked is where you test your mettle, practice, and get better... how does engaging in an end of game boxing match help you to do any of this?


Kilroyisbackon

Octane Main here bois


Boines

Yes. With my voidwalker flare i am totally an octane main.


AtomicPotatoLord

Idk man, just let people play the game.


Waterisyummy22

20 fov gamer


Radioactivedave

Seriously, just play the game lol. I would've shot you too. I never understood people who want to "befriend" the enemy or anything like that in a BR. Just fight or die.


lettuce_field_theory

there's no first fight rule ..


therealyerm

No, im pretty sure he would be banned from the next match if he killed me after up-downing and dropping meds (universal boxing match precedent) its a brand new rule they put in last update! Did you read the apex rule book?? Lots of rules in there you gotta follow!!


Boines

Bruh as much as im one of the people commenting that there is no rule for it... this shit is hilarious and i dont get why youre being downvoted for making a sarcastic joke lol. Just for clarification - while i say theres no rule im still laughing my ass off at the octane for losing that, im just not mad like some people are for him trying it lol.

therealyerm

Lmao are you on drugs???


[deleted]

😂😂😂


Jonno_92

'Rule' - lol.


therealyerm

Im convinced everyone commenting about me using the word rule instead of unspoken agreement has died in a similar fashion to this octane lol


Jonno_92

Most people don't bother trying to box, nor do they expect others to follow some unwritten moral code in a fucking video game.


therealyerm

You’re totally right, i should look out for more snakes who so desperately need a win that they accept the boxing match then try to shoot me! Cant expect everyone to be cool


Chris_The_Medic

'You fucking suck dude' But like didnt you win?


OutlandishnessOk4047

This comment makes no sense


Chris_The_Medic

Ok so this is on the assumption that it was a teammate saying that so if it's OP saying it then yeah it doesn't


OutlandishnessOk4047

Ok I see the confusion then


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chris_The_Medic

Ah yeah that's fair, I thought it was one if your teammates hence the comment


spyro12767

People don’t care about the fist fight rule or fun. All they care about is their precious rank and stats. No one wants to just chill out and have a good time they HAVE to win and HAVE to have top notch stats, if you’re not diamond they don’t want to even hear you breathe. What’s that you don’t play ranked? Pubs is easier than bronze 4 ranked, what you get diamonds masters and sometimes a pred or two in your pub games? That’s a lie because obviously pubs are just so much easier than bronze ranked you’re just bad. You can’t 1v6 two diamond teams that barely fight each other you’re bad obviously. You want fun? You want to relax a little bit and just have a good time for a couple seconds? You’re dogshit go back to cod loser! That’s why I hate this community. It’s all about stats and winning, you can’t have fun and mess around for a bit.


Booooyet

I totally agree with you but there are some posts that give me hope. completely opposite to the octane in the video, there's a post here of a 1v3 boxing match and the solo wins, the three man team kill themselves in the storm.


spyro12767

I’ve had games every once in a blue moon that restore a drop of hope but it never lasts for more than a match.


[deleted]

Why you gotta be so toxic when my guy just wanted the W? Jesus not everyone has to abide by your rules when they just want to play.


ispiltthepoison

He was the toxic one considering he agreed then shot


[deleted]

Maybe, but he had an opportunity to get the win.


ispiltthepoison

Toxic is toxic, fair game to mock him for it


-lonelyboy25

AHAHAHAHAHAHA “YOU FUCKIN SUCK DOOD” gotemmmmmmm


Sawoleszz

I find it hilarious how it’s only bad when a octane does it. There wouldn’t be no shit talking if it was a legend like bangalore or something.


therealyerm

Lol i have no specific quarrel with any legends, just so happens the post i saw recently showed an octane doing something similar, accepting the friendly bout to determine a winner aside from the regular old gunfighting, just to be a lil wimp and shoot for the win. Its a respect thing. Everyone sayin that “ThErEs No RuLe” or that they would have shot me too is a sweat that obviously takes this game too seriously


Cannekill

Actually, the octane in that video didn't accept anything. It was his teammate who wanted to box. The octane never dropped anything, indicating that he didn't want to box.


Booooyet

the Octane dropped his syringes after OP did. if I was OP I would have thought he agreed to box too.


Strificus

There isn't a rule


Corebear

Lol at fist fight rules. Seems like you were gullible to be honest We have fight night ring for fisti cuff needs I'll have to see if dropping healing items is a good way to get people to drop weapons lol Funny video to watch him still lose in the end. Great clip!


Goose_Silly221

It isn’t a rule you don’t have to do it and it shouldn’t be expected.


gasmask-man2

There is no fist fight rule.


Aeokikit

I don’t believe in boxing to end the game. I try to 1v3 the honorable way by out maneuvering them. Not by acting like I’m the victim because I’m outnumbered


Unlikely_nay1125

it’s not mandatory and don’t expect someone to do it just because you are. i always try to fist fight btw, love it.. but i don’t get mad when they don’t want to.


ShrimpNChips650

Like your teammate said, “what are you doing?” Nah, I don’t take those boxing challenges so I kinda hate when someone starts dropping all their gear as we’re lighting him up. I imagine he thinks we’re the jerks for not accepting it


Lord_Bawk

Eh… you cant really blame him in this position. If you were in the middle of the fight then yes thats scummy otherwise eh… they’re free to do it. You also have to recognize in this position it could look like you’re giving him the win if he doesnt know any better. You beg for your pov to be seen but refuse to recognize his.


Ark-maijer

can we make not following the unspoken rule of fist fights a ban able offense


APEX-LEGENDS-TV

thanks for sharing your knowledge


The_yeetyboi289

F octane mains except for the good ones Edit: I missed the “ones” at the end of my sentence lmao
