Taxi2g returns to Apex Legends after ult dash glitch ban while the exploit remains unfixed in Season 12
The Controversial Return
Twitch streamer Taxi2g prepares to re-enter Apex Legends following his suspension, yet the movement exploit that triggered his removal persists in the current game build.
Well-known Apex Legends content creator Svend-Erik ‘Taxi2g’ Høegh approaches his reinstatement date in Respawn’s battle royale. His original suspension resulted from exploiting the ‘ultimate dash’ glitch enabling rapid map traversal—a technical issue that remains unaddressed despite his impending comeback.
Taxi’s 30-day restriction from Apex Legends nears completion based on his communications with Respawn’s anti-cheat specialist Conor ‘Hideouts’ Ford, who oversees enforcement actions.
Despite the passage of time and new season launch, the specific movement manipulation that caused his account suspension continues to function within the game environment.
Høegh received his initial ban during a live broadcast after repeatedly utilizing the ultimate dash exploit to achieve extraordinary mobility speeds across Apex Games maps. Subsequent attempts to circumvent the restriction using alternate accounts resulted in additional suspensions as Respawn’s team consistently identified and addressed each evasion effort.

This movement exploit activates by initiating the Ultimate ability animation, pressing the melee input, then rapidly switching weapons. The technique isn’t limited to Caustic—Taxi’s primary character for demonstration—but extends to Bangalore, Gibraltar, and any legend possessing deployable ultimate abilities with similar activation properties.
What was Taxi’s immediate action upon account restoration? Verifying the glitch’s functionality; remarkably, after accessing the Firing Range practice area, he confirmed the exploit remains operational in Season 12’s current build.
For players seeking to understand this exploit’s mechanics: the sequence involves precise timing between ultimate activation and melee input during the animation startup frames. This creates an unintended momentum preservation effect that dramatically increases movement speed. While technically demanding to execute consistently, the glitch provides significant competitive advantages in rotation speed and positioning capabilities.
Post-Ban Gameplay Experience
He avoided joining actual matches during his stream (his suspension hadn’t fully expired at that point), opting instead to practice movement techniques with Pathfinder to regain mechanical proficiency. However, he immediately detected alterations to some of his signature movement techniques.
“How do you play this game,” he humorously remarked upon returning. “This game is so bad. You can tap strafe, but they completely ruined air strafing.”

Advanced movement techniques in Apex Legends require constant adaptation as developers adjust physics and mechanics. Taxi2g’s observations highlight how subtle changes can significantly impact high-level gameplay. Professional players often develop muscle memory for specific movement patterns, and when these undergo adjustments, it necessitates substantial retraining and technique modification to maintain competitive performance levels.

He also expressed no concerns about potential future suspensions, even when exploring the boundaries of Apex Legends’ movement systems.
Taxi’s suspension was scheduled to conclude around February 12, shortly following the debut of Season 12 content.
This situation raises important questions about exploit management in competitive games. When known glitches remain unpatched across multiple seasons, it creates uncertainty about enforcement consistency. Players must navigate the fine line between advanced techniques and rule violations, while developers balance prompt bug fixes against broader development priorities. The persistence of such exploits challenges the competitive integrity that professional scenes depend upon for legitimacy and fair competition.
