SEMI-BASIC: APEX LEGENDS TIPS & TRICKS

Apex Legends is the kind of game that’s easy to pick up but difficult to master. Some have even been playing for months already yet still haven’t managed to grasp the more subtle tricks & skills necessary for higher-level play. Such things are essential if you want to earn more Apex Legend Currency. If you happen to be among those who are a bit slow to grasp the game’s subtle nuances, don’t worry! It’s never too late to learn. So why don’t you read these tips so you can raise your game to the next level?

Choosing Where to Land

First things first–we’re making that literal by teaching you how to land faster and glide further! This is important, as an early lead can give you an advantage; it’s a determining factor that affects whether or not you’ll perform well mid-game or not. And if you’re the Jump Master, this is something vital for you to learn. Here’s how to do this, step by step:

·         Aim straight until your speed is at 140-145

·         Tilt character upwards to slow down

·         Aim straight again until your speed is at 140-145

·         Rinse and repeat until you’re finally able to land to the spot you want

This is a must if you’re aiming for a hot zone, a high-tier zone, or even a zone that’s pretty far from all the action, as it’s virtually impossible to land on your chosen spot if you’re going to rely solely on regular glide speed.

Keep in mind that actually doing this is much harder than it sounds. For this, you’re going to need lots and lots of patience—and an ample amount of practice won’t hurt either. To get the former, you need to pounce on every opportunity you can to be a Jump Master. If you’re lucky enough to be assigned as one, don’t give it up to your teammates! If nobody wants to be one, volunteer! And if you’re playing with friends, don’t be shy to ask them to relegate it to you! Practice will make perfect, and locking this skill down this will ultimately help you and your teammates win. And the more wins you have, the higher your account’s value on the Apex Legend Calculator will be!

Might as Well Bunny-Hop

One of the first things that you should learn is to bunny hop as it makes you less likely to get hit compared to simply just running around the map. To do this, you need to run for 2 seconds, and once you’re at top speed, you need to jump. To make it even more elusive, you need to add alternating directions to your bunny hops. It’s easy: while mid-jump, swing your mouse to the right while pressing D at the same time. When you touch the ground, jump again and this time around swing your mouse to left while pressing A. Keep repeating until there is no longer any need to do so.

To make bunny hopping a lot easier, you can assign theUp or Down Mouse Wheel for the jump so that you’ll no longer need to coordinate your spacebar presses with mouse-swinging. And on top of all this, you can actually heal while bunny-hopping. While it’s more preferable to find cover and heal while safe from enemy fire, it’s actually a good maneuver when you don’t have no other recourse.

Switch and Fire

Another important technique you need to learn is switching from weapon to weapon on the fly, even when in the midst of a firefight. It’s really simple: just switch to your second weapon while firing your first, and then press the crouch button twice to crouch and stand up in quick succession, then shoot with your second weapon. You can even do this while one of your guns is almost out of ammo.

These are just some of the intermediate techniques you need to learn in Apex Legends in order to be among the top tier players. Lots of other tricks of the trade are still out there, and they’re no less important than the ones we’ve discussed. So what are you waiting for? Either you look for them now or start practicing those you’ve learned already!

SOME APEX LEGENDS TIPS AND TRICKS YOU'LL BE GLAD TO KNOW

Apex Legends is all about constantly getting one up on your enemies. It's having the high ground; the advantage, so to speak. That's how you get all the Apex Legends currency you need, as well as getting to be the champion more often than not.

Here are some tips and tricks to improve your game and get the coveted champion spot more often.

Movement Tips

Sure, running with a holstered gun is much faster than when you're brandishing your firearm. However, the latter limits your actions as you can't shoot or heal yourself while doing so. Sliding is another quick movement, but it makes you vulnerable as your movements become rather easy to predict. So how do you move fast while avoiding all potential drawbacks?

You learn how to do the Bunny Hop. Here's a handy tutorial to help you learn how to do it. Basically, the Bunny Hop is all about maintaining the momentum of your slide, all the while being able to heal, shoot, and dodge.

There's also wall climbing, though there's no wall running. You can run and jump up to a wall or ledge so your character will scramble up. What's more, if you release the forward stick or button before the vault animation, your character will hang on the edge. From there, you can peek over and get a little scouting of what exactly it is you're getting into.

Don't be afraid to jump off cliffs and ledges! Fall damage is non-existent in this game. There are also balloons scattered about the map from which you can launch off. Just make sure to face where you want to go before you reach the top.

As the last tip for movement, all characters run at the same speed. Bigger or taller characters only have slower animations.

How to Snipe Better

Scopes have these tiny lines going to the bottom of the crosshair, and they have numbers beside it. They're there to help you aim. Say your target is 300m away (as will be indicated by the scope's distance sensor). You'll miss if you aim the center of the crosshair directly at it. That's when the small lines come in. If you line it up with the 3, you'll hit your target. So match the line with the leftmost number on the distance when you aim!

Throwing Grenades and Arc Stars

The path projection of Grenades and Arc Stars are 100% accurate. You can use them to hit enemies from a distance, especially if you run out of ammo or you simply don't have weapons about you. Grenades have a fuse time of 4 seconds that starts as soon as you throw them. Arc Stars have three, but don’t start until they hit something.

Some Guns Just Need the Right Mod

As an example, nobody likes the Prowler Burst PDW since it's a burst-fire gun. However, if you find (or already have) the Hop-up Selectfire Receiver mod, you can turn it into a fully automatic gun. With a now decent fire rate and heavy ammo, this unpopular gun can become one of your favorites. Other guns could be the same, especially those that aren't purple or golden.

Where to Drop First

Everybody wants the best weapons and armor, so it's should come as no surprise if people will either aim for the hot zone or the supply ship right from the get-go. It's up to you to weigh the risk and reward to decide where to drop first.

Another handy tip for looting is to look for those small bots roaming around the map. They'll give good loot and possibly even refill your ammo or shields. Looting other player's shields also refill yours. Lastly, the color of a defeated player's chest depends on the highest item grade among the stuff in their inventory. If it's gold, they have at least one gold item in their inventory. However, you don't know whether that item is a weapon, armor, or mod. At least you'll have an idea of which chest to prioritize.

You don't have to worry about attaching mods to your weapon as they automatically attach to compatible firearms. This happens whether you got the mod or the weapon first.

Use the Ping System

If you're not the type to use voice chat, the Ping System is your go-to communication tool. It's well thought out, as you can ping chests to let your team know where it is or whether it's been opened. You can even ping enemy positions or the weapon modification you need! Communication is key, and the Ping System is a useful tool for it.

Set Damage Numbers to Floating

Somehow, the game defaults to showing the cumulative damage you deal with the enemy. For players who prefer to keep track of just how much damage they’re dealing while caught in the fray, it's better to set it to ‘Floating' as it would show numbers for every hit you make.

Experiment with Your Character's Skills

Every character has a unique Active, Passive, and Ultimate skill. Mirage, for example, has skills that revolve around holograms. His active deploys a hologram that does the current action upon activation. It can be used as you drop into the arena to confuse enemies. Warning: Remember to warn your team first. Octane's ultimate, the Jump Pad, can be used to reveal enemies behind cover. 

Passives mainly benefit the character itself, but may also benefit your team, as Lifeline's and Wraith's passives do.

It may take some experimentation, but creative use and out of the box thinking can surprise enemies. That can give you the edge you need to defeat them. Figure out counters for any strategy you do, since other players will start to copy good strategies.

And that's that! Pretty soon you'll find some more tutorials and resources (such as an Apex Legends Calculator for damage or value and whatnot). We hope you continue enjoying Apex Legends!
