Should I quit?
Hey guys, I'm considering giving up on the game. I have never played FPS before this. I'm level 28 in the game but I really struggle to get kills, maybe 1 or 2 but most of the time I get 0. I alrea...

So kills are fun and important I agree. Another way to judge your combat effectiveness is to calculate your average damage per round. ADR
you can look at your banner badges and see how many matches/rounds you’ve played with that legend also not damage done with that legend.
Damage/matches= ADR
just another metric commonly regarded more important than k/d in team based shooters.
If your having fun keep playing.
Battle royale is not the best kind of game to practice FPS as a beginner, because actual gun fight time Vs looting and running can be sparse. My advice is buy Titanfall 2, it's currently very cheap, it has the same gun mechanics and when you die you instantly Respawn, there is no looting only constant gun fights, there are even enemy minions in the match that are easy to kill so you won't feel completely useless. If you can't afford it, or simply don't want to, you can play free to play FPS games like Team Fortress 2 to practice.
Now in terms of mouse sensitivity, what sensitivity are you running the game at? What DPI setting is your mouse at? Have you disabled mouse acceleration in Windows mouse settings? Are you wrist aiming or arm aiming?
When I first started playing Apex I was really really bad, hardly getting any kills, usually dying to the first player I ran into. After watching some YouTube videos I realised my DPI was too high. I was running at 1200 but every day would drop it by 200 DPI, I'm now currently at 400 DPI, I've had to buy a bigger mouse pad and I am now using my whole arm to move the mouse instead of just my wrist. It has taken a bit of getting used to but I am now finding it much easier to consistently hit targets now.
When your sensitivity/DPI are high you have much lower room for error.
@MekaDeth555 if you read the posts made by me most of your questions have already been answered. My mouse dpi is not adjustable thus I need to buy a new mouse. Mouse acceleration is turned off. Naturally I wrist aim, however all my practice has been arm aiming as it seems to work better when snapping to targets. I'm able to do it without thinking about it now, I just gotta practice in actual game scenarios.
