Re: How to generally get better at Apex? I'm nintendo switch level 20

@hype_f0rce Spend time in the firing range and practice with high recoil guns like the 99. You can turn the dummies on in firing range.. https://youtu.be/BfwHjemF15A

It just takes time to learn recoil control.. There is a lot that comes with learning this game and getting good. You have to learn how to drop, you have to learn how to prioritize loot and gun attachments. You have to learn how to make the loot you have work. Learning how to use abilities and so much more..

It really just takes experience.. It's going to be a bit painful for a while but eventually you'll have some success. If you have a good teammate, ask them if they will team up with you.

I'd play rounds with you, but I'm in the top tier lobbies right now and they are extremely hard. You will have a very difficult time in those lobbies. I'd be willing go into the firing range with you. You can add me as a friend, just look me up in game my user name is the same as my forum name.

I'm not online at the moment but I'll watch for you to be online.

    Keep playing. Recoil control will become second nature to you until you reach the point where you don't notice it.

    Firing guns in Apex is a three step process. Aim (so you hit your targets), Move (so you are less likely to get hit) and Control (so the recoil does not throw off your aim). You won't always get it right but the more you play, the greater the chance that you will.

    Yeah I have a PS4 friend tried playing with him last week - we got farmed. Whenever I see an enemy I know they're there and try shooting them but recoil messes up my aim. I think in Overwatch, the other game I play regularly I played the character who has recoil (soldier) and I don't have problems. I think i'll go in the practice range before I go on today and hopefully get at least a kill in pubs, that's the state of play here 🙂

    @hype_f0rce Soldier 76 doesn't have that much recoil tho does he? Are you playing with the joysticks (joycon or whatever they're called) or a controller?
