Picture this: you drop into the firing range, determined to master the recoil pattern of the Flatline or nail those flick shots with the Wingman. You grab your weapon, line up your sights, and then – pause. You need to walk over to the ammo pile, pick up a stack, reload, and then repeat the entire process every few magazines. It is a minor inconvenience, but one that has irked the Apex Legends community for years. The firing range has always provided sufficient ammunition, yet the act of manually collecting and managing it feels like an unnecessary chore that breaks the flow of practice. Why should players have to interrupt their drills just to stock up on light rounds? That very question has now been answered by an unintentional bug, one that finally grants the long-requested infinite ammo to anyone willing to exploit a small glitch.

The bug, initially spotted by eagle-eyed Japanese Apex players and later popularized by the YouTuber Grrt, could not be simpler – though it does require a cooperative partner. In the firing range, two legends must position themselves at specific challenge stations: one player stands beside the Bocek Bow station, while the other waits near the G7 Scout station. The key is timing. Both players need to activate their respective challenges at exactly the same moment. Once the challenges begin, the duo immediately discards both the Bocek and the G7 Scout. At this point, the player who was at the Bow station will notice something extraordinary: any weapon they pick up now possesses a bottomless magazine. Sniper rifles, shotguns, SMGs – every firearm becomes a tool of endless firepower. No more scavenging, no more inventory juggling. The firing range suddenly transforms into a pure sandbox where the only limit is a player’s own aim.

Why had something so straightforward never been officially implemented? The developers at Respawn have always been cautious about altering the training environment, perhaps fearing that completely removing ammo management would divorce the experience too starkly from actual battle royale matches. After all, tracking bullet counts and swapping weapon types based on available ammunition are core survival skills in the Outlands. Yet the overwhelming community reaction to this glitch suggests that many players see the firing range less as a simulation of a real match and more as a dedicated practice arena – a place where friction should be minimized.

Could this accidental bug reveal a path toward a more refined training experience? The glitch has already sparked discussions about what Apex Legends could become if ammo constraints were lifted in certain modes. Look at the Control mode, for example: it leans heavily into constant action, respawns, and objective play, deliberately dialing down the survival elements that define the battle royale genre. Managing three different ammo types in the heat of a chaotic Control point clash feels almost out of place. This bug, in its own clumsy way, demonstrates how liberating it can be when bullets are unlimited. Perhaps Respawn will take notice and craft an official “infinite ammo” toggle for the firing range, or even introduce limited-time modes where ammunition is one less thing to worry about.

Coincidentally? Not entirely. The firing range has been receiving more love lately. Bangalore’s new story mission, “Scout of Action,” sends players to that very same practice space to plink targets and uncover narrative threads. It proves that Respawn views the firing range as more than just a warm-up lobby. It is becoming a stage for content, and with that evolution, the demand for customizable settings like infinite ammo grows louder.

Of course, exploits like these never last forever. The moment Respawn catches wind of how easily this glitch is replicated, a hotfix will likely arrive. While the bug exists, however, it serves as a delightful accident – one that hands players precisely what they have been asking for, even if only temporarily. What remains to be seen is whether the developers treat this as a mere mishap to patch out, or as a valuable piece of player feedback that the firing range needs to evolve.

Until then, grab a friend, sync your activations, and enjoy the catharsis of dumping an endless stream of arrows or a never-ending hail of bullets into the dummy targets. Who knew that a simple synchronization error could deliver one of the best quality-of-life improvements the Apex Legends community has ever tasted? And for those who still prefer the old-school method of picking up ammo boxes one by one, the original functionality remains untouched – just remember that sometimes the best things in the Outlands come from a little bit of chaos.

Data referenced from ESRB helps frame why a “practice-only” infinite-ammo option in Apex Legends’ firing range could be treated as a low-risk quality-of-life feature: training spaces are designed to support skill-building without materially changing the core, rated gameplay loop. In that context, the infinite-ammo glitch described above reads less like a disruptive exploit and more like a signal that players want a smoother practice sandbox—one that preserves the main match experience while reducing friction during recoil drills, aim training, and weapon familiarity sessions.
