The Best Apex Legends Settings!

Hey everyone

Just wanted to let you know of my research on how to get the best settings and keybinds in Apex Legends! I recognize a lot is up to personal preference, but there is still a lot of inspiration to get here.

So this is my sources of inspiration:

Best Apex Legends Settings for increased performance

Apex Legends: The Best Settings & Keybinds

Also looked at Shroud's settings, since he seems to be pretty good at the game

Ok, so if you want the highest possible frame rates, you should lower your graphics settings as much as possible (without it hurting your eyes too much :D ), since this will naturally increase your FPS.  


Example:

Display ModeFullscreen
Resolution1920×1080 (native)
Aspect Ratio16:9 (native)
Field of View104
Color Blind ModeOff
V-SyncDisabled
Adaptive Resolution FPS0
Anti-AliasingNone
Texture Streaming BudgetInsane (8GB VRAM)
Texture FilteringAnisotropic 4X
Ambient Occlusion QualityDisabled
Sun Shadow CoverageLow
Sun Shadow DetailLow
Spot Shadow DetailDisabled
Volumetric LightingDisabled
Dynamic Spot ShadowsDisabled
Model DetailHigh
Effects DetailLow
Impact MarksLow
RagdollsLow

I recommend that you have a DPI around 400 - 800 since this seems to be consensus among pro players. Sensitivity should in general be low, so you can aim more precisely. Get a large mousepad and get those arms moving 😉 

Ok, I hope you find this guide useful.

    @1Tap_TobyVast majority of players already have the hardware to reach at least a 60 FPS rock solid FPS minimum at their monitor resolution and 60 FPS is honestly enough to win in any FPS game (except if the enemy is true pro competitive gamer or if your aim or movement sux...), but input lag is a great issue for almost everyone due to various video settings, various monitors and crappy 3D engines in games. Input lag and frametime and desync from monitor freq are great issue for everyone as this is why you do not feel the FPS games smooth, see the animation blurry and jagged, stuttering etc. Consistent rock solid input lag and frametime and total sync (FPS equal to your monitor frequency or -2-3 FPS) results teh ultimate smooth experience that every gamer wants... Regardless of the FPS, assuming its at least 60 roxk solid (made up of equal frametime frames only....) which is already perfect for human vision. If you have all this reached at your wanted resolution than you may want to buy higher freq gamer monitor and target higher FPS but that will cost you 2000 EUR extra to keep the frametimes and input lag equal for each frames.... otherwise you will have 120-240 FPS game but with varying frametime and input lag and with NOT smooth animation, stuttering etc..... and you have 2000 EUR less in your pocket.... :D

    Hey @DanOnXan. 

    Are you on PC? If so you should be able to fix that by repairing Apex Legends in Origin. If you right-click the game in the Origin client you'll see a Repair option when the menu comes up. Give that a shot and let me know if it helps.
