EA and Respawn, you might want to look into the Apex Legends Supply Bin bug. Players have found a way to launch themselves using a Supply Bin and gain advantages against opponents. Find out everything worth knowing about the Apex Legends Supply Bin bug with our guide.
Apex Legends Supply Bin Bug | How to launch yourself
If you’ve been playing the game over the past few days, you’ll be aware of the Apex Legends Supply Bin bug and how it works. For those not in the know, we’ve detailed how this glitch works below.
Supply Bins are weapon caches that are dotted around the map and give you items to help you achieve victory. Once the Supply Bin has been opened, you can’t close its lid, and this is what players are using in order to take advantage of the bug.
As you can see in the Reddit thread’s video, players have found that they can transfer energy to Supply Bin lids by punching it. Players who then stand on the lid can be catapulted into the air, and reach high vantage points to look over the map. Another thread showed that the lids can launch you across small sections of the map too, which would get you out of harm’s way quickly or get the drop on unsuspecting opponents.
Apex Legends Supply Bin Bug | Why is this a problem?
The Apex Legends Supply Bin bug is an issue because it can be seen as a form of cheating or, at least, exploiting the game. If opponents can get a bird’s eye view of where other squads are, they can then head in a specific direction and launch a surprise attack on them.
Alternatively, using the lid glitch can allow you to escape combat if you’re about to die. As mentioned above, players could launch themselves out of harm’s way and heal up before re-engaging the enemy.
More experienced squads could use these to gain an advantage over newcomers and potentially end up winning more games. This would frustrate many players, especially those who had been playing to win fair and square. Hopefully, Respawn and EA gets wind of this, and patch out the bug before people can use it effectively.

10 Weapons You Want in Apex Legends
One of the true rushes of the battle royale genre is not knowing what you'll be dealing with in any given round. Being able to succeed with any given setup early on separates the pros from the amateurs, but there are still some weapons you want to see in your first drop location. -
Devotion
The Devotion is a light machine gun that chews through Energy ammo with gusto. When you hold down the trigger, it starts to spin up, like a minigun in the hands of your favorite Heavy. The rate of fire continues to increase, making it a monster in certain situations. -
VK-47 Flatline
A close to mid-range assault rifle, the Flatline works best when you're aiming for the head. Dealing more damage than your standard AR thanks to the heavy rounds, you can switch between single shots or full auto. It only really loses its luster if you need to tag a sniper across a wide canyon, although that's still possible with the right scope. -
Havoc Rifle
The newest addition to Apex Legends, the Havoc rifle is a full auto assault rifle that uses Energy Ammo. It's also the first weapon to use two hop-ups to modify its potential. It can either be turbocharged to negate the gun's spin-up or get the Selectfire Reciever to select the hitscan beam fire mode. -
Kraber .50-cal Sniper
One of two Legendary weapon drops, the Kraber is a powerful sniper rifle that shoots off unique .50 caliber rounds. One of the weapons appearing from Titanfall 2, you can only grab this gun if you go after the supply drops and survive the hordes of other players with similar intentions. -
Mastiff Shotgun
The Mastiff Shotgun is the other Legendary weapon currently found in Apex Legends. It also can only be found from airdrops and it also has its own unique ammo that can't be replenished. You'll want to get up close and personal with the Mastiff, which has an amazingly narrow spread when you aim down its sights. -
Peacekeeper
If you don't want to chase Legendaries, the Peacekeeper is a good runner-up for "Best Shotgun." You can even get a similar aim down sights bonus with the Precision Choke add-on. Generally speaking, if you are going to charge into battle in Apex, you'll want one of these bad boys handy. -
Prowler Burst PDW
The Prowler is an SMG that fires in five round bursts. Due to its resemblance to a P90, you might wonder why it doesn't also fire fully automatic, and it does if you find a Selectfire Reciever. Either way, it's a great option if you need to get a lot of bullets into an opponent in a very short amount of time. -
M600 Spitfire
If you want to get a lot of bullets into an opponent over a long period of time, may we suggest the Spitfire? The premier light machine gun of Apex Legends, the Spitfire lives up to its name by spitting fire at a tremendously fast rate. If you can keep it fed with Heavy Rounds, it will keep your kill count looking very healthy. -
Triple Take
A sniper rifle that shoots Energy Ammo, the Triple Take brings its unique charge fire mechanics over from Titanfall 2's Double Take. It fires three projectiles at once at a full charge, letting you be a bit off with your aim when it comes to headshots. -
Wingman
Until they bring over the Smart Pistol as a Legendary Drop, the Wingman is the weapon to wield in your back pocket. A futuristic six-shooter revolver, the Wingman rewards skilled players with devastating headshot damage, improved even more by the Skullpiercer Rifling hop-up.
