Starting out as a new player - tips?

@tunolno1 I'd stick to Lifeline while you're learning the game as she can be fairly useful even if you can't land your shots. Her revive is best used when your teammates crawl behind cover but expect most players to be too foolish to do that.

Despite this being a team game you shouldn't expect your team to pay attention to/care what you're doing so find a mobility Legend that you like. I prefer Ash since she allows me to push into a fight my team started without me or out of a fight they abandoned me in.

This last bit is very very bad advice that's good for working with the majority of players (DO NOT DO THIS WITH LIFELINE.) In any team fight look for a 1v1 you can win. Your team won't consider you at all and only care about what damage you do. Stupidly diving a fight and getting one knock or a lot of damage works well with a lot of players that just dive recklessly. Again this is stupid advice but it fits with the aggressive nature of the Apex community.

If you play with a team that communicates and look for openings then LUCKY YOU!!! Aim to break one target, isolate them, and jump them with your squad. Do not fight fair. 

Its fine to fail to deal good damage but do not go down. The other team gets aggressive if they break any shields on your team and will launch themselves at you if a single one of you goes down. If a teammate goes down rush to them immediately. There will absolutely be a fight there and you may get to shoot a player that isn't paying attention to you.
