Play ELDEN RING as Octane from Apex Legends. An offline fan mod: Apex's movement, first-person guns, abilities and HUD in the Lands Between.
Based on umiiii/er-apex by umi (MIT). This build is MegaWeed/er-apex, a fork with more guns, abilities and fixes. The architecture comes from er-mario.
Recommended: install from GitHub with an AI agent
If you can, have an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor...) set the mod up on your PC straight from MegaWeed/er-apex by following its README. Fixes land there first, so you get them as soon as they are pushed, without waiting for a new Melty release.
What you get
- Apex movement: sprint, slide, slide-jump, Octane's jump pad with its double jump; stairs and ledges stepped like Apex.
- Seven guns with Apex's own first-person models, animations, and sounds: Wingman, R-99, R-301, VK-47 Flatline, Sentinel (homing rounds), Mastiff, Charge Rifle. Weapon wheel on Tab, inspect on 5, a holstered mode with Wraith's kunai.
- Octane's stim (Q) and jump pad (Z), shield battery (4), frag grenade (G), Pathfinder's grapple on the wheel.
- Apex's HUD: health and shield, ammo, kill feed, damage numbers, hit markers, a kill-streak rank badge.
- F5 switches back to your own Tarnished and again to Octane.
Before you start
- You need Apex Legends installed (its files are only read) and Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022 with "Desktop development with C++" (free: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/). They are used once, on the first start, to build the Apex file reader.
- The first start takes about 70 minutes and about 20 GB: Octane's models, sounds, and HUD are made on your PC from your own Apex Legends install, in a console window. Later starts go straight to the game.
- No game files are shipped. Nothing from Apex Legends or ELDEN RING is in this download.
- Offline only. The bundled me3 starts the game offline with Easy Anti-Cheat off, on its own save (
ER0000_apex.sl2, a copy of your normal save): your normal save is never touched.
- Shadow of the Erdtree (the DLC) has not been tested. Its areas, enemies, and bosses may not work with the mod.
- Custom skins and models (the R-99 Cutting Edge, the Flatline Teal Zeal, your own textures) are not in this build: install them yourself as the GitHub README describes. You provide the textures yourself.
Known bugs
- The waterwheel at the Academy of Raya Lucaria can only be used as your own character: press F5, use it, press F5 again.
- In invasion contracts, the Sentinel's shots will damage yourself.
