The new hero Octane—are starting to pop up in current games.
The jump pad seems to be map that's prone to early firefights. I wasn't able to locate a pad myself, but there are numerous images and videos on the Apex subreddit documenting the jump pads in-game. Adding further credence, Respawn devs have responded to several of these Reddit posts with smirking or inquisitive emoji. Octane may not be playable yet, but Respawn seems to be adding his pads around the map as easter eggs.
Here's a video of the jump pad in action.
