Planning to make a YouTube video on the top tips that every beginner should learn to find success in Apex mainly tips that don’t apply to other and aren’t talked about much. 99% of the time, you MUST play with your team or you’ll get caught out Get used to fighting without having time to regain all health and shield and shield first due to it being quicker What good, not much talked about tips do you have for beginners https://vlc.onl/?
General philosophy for new players:
Dont be discourage by "losing", i.e not winning the match, i.e have realistic expectations. This is not a 1v1 or 5v5 game with one winner and one loser (or draw). Its a game with 3 winners and 57 losers =). I would set achievable goals and gradually increase them, like winning your first 1v1,then getting 3 kills in match, then getting 1000 dmg etc rather than thinking not winning a match is a failure.
Also, I think you should fight as much as you can even if you lose alot, especially during your "new account" matchmaking period. Yes, there is skill that requires training to the macro part of the game, like how to rotate, avoid choke points, predict enemy movement but these things are more of an intellectual thing, i.e something you have to intellectually learn. But 90% of the game IS muscle memory so to speak, i.e fighting and movement. And the only way to become good at these things is to do it over and over and over.
I think one major flaw with the current rank system AND pubs is that its so effective to just jump late and avoid fights if you wanna rank up/get high placement in pubs. It just teaches new player that this is how you should play the game. But the only thing it will result in is that that player will fall behind in the skill curve of fighting and then become hardstucks when they reach a certain rank where this isnt possible anymore.
1. Play with controller
2. If ranked avoid fighting till atleast only 10 squads are left when you wanna climb
@clinton1131 @A tip for beginners coming into Apex late, be patient and understand there will be players who do not belong in your beginner lobby 9/10.
Movement is key in Apex and not as simple as many other FPS. With that said, Apex is not optimized in your initial settings. Know how to slide to get speed and lower your weapon almost always when moving with a purpose.
Another big part is knowing that you’ll take way too long starring at loot boxes and items for dozens or hundreds of levels.
Lastly, know the meta in regards to squad makeup and weapons. You don’t have to use them but understand why others are using them. They normally do because they have a slight edge over the rest at that moment. Each Legend has its abilities and each one can be used in many different ways depending on the scenario.
Apex can be pretty amazing and I hope you enjoy. My personal views of the game are jaded at the moment but it has nothing to do with the gameplay.
Forgot to mention the one thing that really helped from being a hardstuck d4 to eventually peak master: Every time you die, calm down for a couple of seconds and then try to really objectively and unbiased evaluate what you did badly (and well) in that situation and what you could/should have done differently. I can strongly recommend to play with some kind of recording software on and go back and look. You will learn so much when you actually can see what is going on during the situation that lead to your loss, or any other unfortunate events for that matter.
I think most of the people who come to this forum and blame their teammates for their failures would learn so much from this. Some things you will see in those replays is that very often, situation when you instinctively wanna blame your teammates, happen because of totally understandable and unfortunate events that happened around you but didn't directly affect you/you were unaware of, perhaps because you have bad game awareness. Its easy to think that YOU are the center of the universe and that everyone should adjust to you which ofc is a silly thing to think.
Just a concrete example, which actually is a bad habit that I pretty recently discovered in myself and work on to correct:
its easy to pay no attention to your teammates health meters before you call for a hardpush or just start playing aggressively. When you play as a full premade squad and really tryhard, your shotcaller may call for an all in where everyone just go in regardless of individual status, but among randoms or just together with low elo player with low knowledge of this game, you cant expect someone with 50 hp on a red shield is gonna abort his battery just to support your call to hardpush =)
