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/?

@clinton1131 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.

@BigMacAttack8u That is actually kinda true, even in semi-high elo and definitely pubs. I guess our eyes and brains work like the T-rex in Jurassic park, i.e searching for movement/change in the landscape when we are scanning the FOV for enemies and therefore easily can miss totally stationary enemies. But that wont happen very much against high elo players. What many mid elo players, like hardstuck plats and below, think is 100% wall hack are more often than not just high elo players who are incredibly smart. Those top players have so much experience, skill and game knowledge that they will almost unconsciously use what he cant see or hear to determine exactly where the enemies are, based on the method of exclusion. For instance, if they hear your footstep from a certain direction, they will immediately know how far away you are. And since they know every possible way and place you can be positioned on the map, they will also know where its possible for that enemy to be. And if they dont see you "there", "there" or "there", they will know that the only possible place you can be is "there", even without even having a second of line of sight of you.But then there are the occasional wall hackers ofc 😉

@clinton1131 Get used to dying often in humiliating ways. Learn the Quit to Lobby series of key strokes and commit them to memory.

@HappyHourSumwur No, forget those keys, be so used to not using them that you have to re learn each time!For advice: duck behind cover if you lose over half your health, or lose too much health quickly.Also generally shoot from near cover to avoid taking damage all togetherLastly, you are invisible if you don’t move

@HappyHourSumwurDamn. That was funny, and it's funny because it's true.@BigMacAttack8u"you are invisible if you don’t move"Sometimes true. Often not. And I'm not just talking about Seer. There's also Vantage and Bloodhound. And wall hackers. And just plain knowing where people are likely to be and suddenly, Wallah! There they are.

@reconzeroYou have no idea how much I hide in apex, I am a master of the shadows, I have been pouncing on randoms since my start. All I was trying to say is the power of staying still/hiding is severely underrated, even if you are scanned by someone, they won’t find you if there is more than 2 people in the scan.

Also, I had to look this up, it’s voilà, not wallah (at least I think that’s what your trying to say). I have never ever had to type this word in all my time, so this might actually be useful for some, idk.

My hat is off to you, sir. I am seldom schooled in the language arts, and I owe you a thanks.

And I have to say how genuinely shocked I am to find that there is even one single other player in this game who places any value at all on discretion. For exercising it I have been called everything from rookie (and several more colorful variations) to coward (also in more colorful variations). I will never understand how the vast majority of players can ignore and even ridicule common sense. Oh wait. Gamers. Asked and answered.

Make this game yours. Meaning - get into options and play with FOV, keybindings etc. find your best settings. See configs of other players but don't copy/paste.
