Octane, real name Octavio Silva, joined Apex Legends at its 2019 launch as the high speed daredevil of the roster. In his lore he lost his legs after a reckless grenade boosted run and replaced them with prosthetics, turning a career ending injury into his trademark advantage. His quips spread through gameplay clips, streams and montages because they sum up his restless playstyle in seconds. This line riffs on the familiar boots made for walking phrase, flipped for a legend who only wants to run.
