Tap Strafing for Consoles too?
I think tap strafing is such a unique movement mechanic that keeps a fight entertained. Tap strafing is possible on Controller, but here’s the catch ONLY on PC. If you play controller on console such...

@warscorpion824 Tap strafing looks terrible and PC players are allowed to make key binds that make it too easy to do. I'd rather it just get removed.
- @hayhor I agree, tap strafing is a dirty mechanic that shouldn’t be allowed, pc players get away with a lot of stuff, it seems like most pc players alter files too.
People should not be able to move while looting or managing inventory. Period.
Completely agree. No moving while looting a deathbox and no tap strafe.
It's confirmed they didn't intend for tap strafing to be in the game I'm guessing they can't remove it lol.
I do think it's nuts some of the pc stuff. Found out yesterday that OW2 has aim assist for controller turned off in pc lobbies and some fans are wanting apex to do the same. Winding me up, completely different game. You get beamed in the open in pc lobbies you can't do that with a controller. What pc players want is the upper hand in every situation because their pc is that much more expensive than a console.
The reason I think this is relevent is because it goes hand it hand with all the tap straffe etc. It doesn't matter what device you play on your experience should be the same. We all understand a mouse is better for mid to range and roller up close to maybe mid. But yeah everything else should be the same.
- @hayhor Agreed, it looks absolutely ridiculous!
Reluctantly I've kind of grown to accept tap-strafing over the seasons in Apex as part & parcel of being in cross-platform lobbies because unfortunately whenever I have tried the single platform option on both XboxX & PS5 there aren't enough players to fill half a lobby.From what I remember Respawn temporarily removed tap-strafing either at the start of this season or last season but received a big backlash mostly from pro-players & performed a quick u-turn because as we all know these pro-players speak with the loudest voices & hold the biggest sway with Respawn it seems.Would I completely remove tap-strafing from Apex? in an ideal world as a console player yes but in reality probably not but I would certainly limit the impact of movement a tap-strafer transcends into the excessive tap-strafing & movement exploiter has that just seems all too common in the game these days rendering the game just unplayable at times.I'm not an Apex player who is asking for easy kills by restricting every players movements providing easy targets all I've ever asked for is a more level playing field just to compete with instead of certain players who can pull off every movement exploit to excessive measure to gain the upper hand.Anyone playing Apex (as well as any other shoot'em ups) can pretty much tell a mile off these players using these exploits just through speed of movement,reaction times etc that are far quicker than everyone else & at times operating at lightning speed but it just seems these players are flourishing in the game now.But playing as a console player playing on the clunky XboxX & PS5 controllers having to contend with PC M&K tap-strafing players is one thing but us console players also have input lag issues stacked against us as well.
- @Redmattgame Unless you specifically queue up with a PC player, "cross play" on console means Playstation, Xbox, and Switch. There are no PC players in your console cross-play lobbies.
My guy we have aim assist, if they can’t do movement we shouldn’t be allowed to have our controller aim for us
Well this is debunked I have nothing else to say.
thought it was a current discussion this is 2-3yr old convo that the first 5 replies captured rather well imo there are 3 main problems in Apex that need focus, this is Not one.
Glad you brought it up so I can bookmark it.
