Tips, Tricks and cool stuff.

6 years ago

In almost all my games I notice new players make the same set of mistakes over and over which usually costs us the match, so here's some tips that'll hopefully help someone be a better contributor to the team instead of the guy that solo drops and dies two seconds after landing.

*Don't play music or have loud televisions on when you're playing, you can hear enemy movements if you pay attention which can save yourself or your team's lives even.

*You can move while downed and even open or close doors, so if you get downed during a firefight and the enemy isn't able to finish you off take the opportunity to find a building or even a rock to hide behind so any teammates nearby can try to revive you without getting shot in the process.

*Don't overextend from your team, specially at the beginning when you're still looking for weapons and armour. If you overextend there's a good chance you'll get killed and have to start all over again.

*When looting be sure to leave things for your teammates as well, if you open a crate and find two weapons don't just grab both and leave your team unarmed, also ping gear they might need like armour and helmets, you can see what they don't have by opening up your inventory screen and it helps slot to have everyone geared up before you engage the enemy.

*If you're playing someone like Bangalore or Caustic and are trying to retreat, loot or revive a ally use your tactical abilities to obscure enemy vision and reduce your chance of getting shot in the back.

*If you see a enemy don't immediately open fire, ping them and check the surroundings because there's a good chance their friends are nearly so even if you manage to down someone most likely their team would come in, kill you and revive their teammate.

*Learn how the weapons fire by using the training range so you don't use the wrong weapon in the wrong situation, the Havoc and Devotion weapons will almost certainly get you killed in a close quarters situation because of their long charge up times unless you're lucky enough to get a gold tier attachment that reduces the charge time.

*If you're killed don't immediately leave the game, your teammates might try to get your respawn beacon and revive you and when you leave you're putting them at a disadvantage numbers wise, this is a team game and having that extra gun could make all the difference in a team fight.

You can drop decoys as mirage while you are still on the dropship! They will not be visible for you on screen, but when you then drop yourself you will see them!

As mirage, you can create decoys while on ziplines. Also when there is a little obstacle, jump and press the decoy, then the decoy will be launched over the obstancle

As Bloodhound, you can ping the clues you find on the map so your team mates can now about it!

When you are downed, try to get behind a door, because you can still open and close doors. This will make it more annoying for the enemies to get to you and gives you a slightly higher chance to not be finished!

  I've got another set of Mirage tips! These are for his tactical ability only.
  
  Only activate the decoy (tactical) when the enemy cannot see you. For example: from behind cover
  
  If your decoy is shot from an enemy, you see their position for a brief period of time. Teammates can see this too.
  
  Decoys will activate the gas traps of caustic, also revealing his position.
  
  Sending your decoys into thermite grenades will also reveal the position of the enemy
  
  You can send your decoy over a small obstacle by jumping and activating the tactical ability.
  
  If you slide, your decoy will slide too. Makes it harder to distinguish between you and the decoy.

    Here are some general tips/tricks/knowledge
    
    LOOT
    
    Named areas on the map can be either Low, Mid or High tier loot zones. A certain area doesn't necessarily have to be 1 tier every single time, but it seems to be a game of chance.
    
    There are zones that are more probably to be higher tier zones. Check out this neat map website to find those areas: Apexmap.io
    
    The blue zone that you see on the map when in the dropship is the only zone you can be sure about to have it an above HIGH tier lootzone.
    
    Better gear and attachments have a higher chance to drop in High tier lootzones, but wingman/peacekeeper have a higher chance to drop in mid tier zones.
    
    There are certain spots in Kings Canyon where there is a very high chance to spawn good stuff, such as the middle of the pit and the middle of the circle in Thunderdome. You can often find blue or purple armor here.
    
    Ping whatever can be helpful for the team that you do not use. In the start, even extended mags level 1 can give your teammates an advantage.
    
    GENERAL
    
    If you through a grenade straight up in the air, it will always explode exactly when it touches the ground.
    
    You can heal if you slide down hills.
    
    Healing while standing against a close door will give you a bit more time to finish the heal before an enemy can break through.
    
    Use the 'I will go here' when dropping from the dropship to let your team know that you are going to loot that location.
    
    Traveling longer on the dropship and moving straighter down seems to be faster now than dropping earlier and moving more horizontal.
    
    WEAPONS
    
    Stocks for weapons will reduce the swap time for that weapon and will not make it more accurate.
    
    Barrel stabilizers will reduce the recoil and make the weapon easier to control. The gold one also reduces muzzle flash.
    
    Shotgun bolts do not change the recoil but increase the firing rate of the shotgun.
    
    The first shot of many weapons is very accurate, even when firing from the hip.
    
    Level 2 and Level 3 magazines also give a reduction in reload speed.
    
    PATHFINDER
    
    Scan the survey beacons just as the ring has closed in and you have moved into the next phase. This allows you to see one circle further.
    
    You can scan the same survey beacon multiple times. You must wait until the current green circle is gone and you can scan again.
    
    The grapple can attach to ziplines as well - if you do not detach, you will automatically connect to the zipline and ride it.
    
    To cover more ground with the grapple, run and grapple a point in front above you. Then once it connects, look left or right. Your character will then go to the left or right a bit and you miss the original grapple point, making you detach and fly 10000km through the air.
    
    You can stop the grapple at any point by pressing the crouch button.
    
    If you move the mouse and continue adjusting the viewer during the connection time of the grapple, you will spin around the original point, allowing you to grapple, turn 180 degrees and fly back to your starting point.
    
    In skull town, connect the grapple to the skeleton and see how easy it is to find cover or catapult yourself somewhere else.
    
    If you do a good grapple and fly through the air, you can also start healing/shielding. That way, you are almost done with the healing once you touch the ground.
    
    You can grapple enemies (just in case you didn't know!)
    
    BLOODHOUND
    
    The hints you see on screen can be pinged to your teammates.
    
    You can ping the hints even if you are not close to them by looking through a scope
    
    That is it for now!
