There, you’ll be able to slide down a ramp and launch yourself through the flaming ring in the center of Octane’s Gauntlet.

Octane’s Gauntlet Ring of Fire can be difficult to complete as you’ll need to compete against other players also looking to cross this challenge off their Iron Crown Collection Event list. When we attempted Octane’s Gauntlet, we encountered players who stopped to shoot at us, and players hiding out looking to snipe people entering the track area.
Because of this, it can be better to land slightly outside the Gauntlet area and pick up gear, wait a little bit for the shooting to subside, then carefully attempt the challenge. Overall, the way you run Octane’s Gauntlet is up to you as long as you meet all of the criteria listed above.
