My tip is don't take a "break" after season 2 only to return in season 12

Rushing in to help downed teammates is a bad habit I've developed over time, and unfortunately it became a problem because of how quickly people tend to dc when solo-queueing in pubs. I grew accustomed to the ticking clock of how long teammates were willing to wait to be rev'd, and the result was instinctively bolting to their position in hopes of getting to them before they rage-quit. Just another sore point of solo-queueing.

[@lilbigrstar]

Felt bro. So many of my deaths came from trying to be captain America or somebody just for the f****r to leave usually after I was already too close. It’s wild how you can pay for being a team player in this game 🤣

[@sparkyenergia]

@@lilbigrstar I absolutely think there should be a quit penalty but how to do it so that it achieves the correct goal is difficult to do.

I hear that. I usually try to ping them even to where it may annoy them so they know I'm coming still.

"shoot the one running in the most likely direction..." well you can use that against players as well. i ulted as mirage once and kept running into a wall next to 2 enemies which probably thought something like "this one is surely a fake" as they started firing at clones i turned around and got em both. fun moment ;)

1. All legends move the same speed, Different legends have different foot step sounds 2. generally 2 med kit 4 syringe 8-12 cells 2-4 batt 3. Knowing where to drop where there'd most likely have loot and knowing how to contest another team dropping in the same area. Free look around to spot other squads. 4. Know what legends abilities do so you know how to deal with them 5. Look for blue flickering when mirage ults. That's the real one or look for the one moving in the most probable direction it'd move 6. rewatch your own pov and assess your mistakes 7. do not rush to save your teammate. assess the situation before going for it 8. Map awareness and positioning. knowing where you've been, the ring, etc. 9. Gold helm gives 25% cd reduc on abilities and knowing who'd have the move value out of it in your squad. 10. prevent deadslides by ensuring you have the right amount of momentum if you're holding a gun 11. ammo is held in even numbers approx 240-300 12. healing items are held in even numbers in stacks of 2 for medkit/batt or 4 syringe/cells 13. Know how to slide jump crouch strafe properly then learn how to wall jump and zip line techs 14. Have the right settings and keybinds (max fov for one)

[@ummok6329]

Best tip, pick wraith, queue trios with fill, if you're not jump master ping a spot and launch there solo and when you die after a few seconds leave and abandon your team mates.

good tips, sadly number 3 tip past season and this one became most important to me, 95% of randoms cant break up from formations and going to loot same path as your when you jumpmaster, i got really tired of this and now i very rarely stay at jumpmaster. also with new ring changes i go for 4 medkits now, even if i dont need this much, most likely my teamates going to be need it randoms or premade doesnt matter

[@heyitsmetrousers4399]

Took me a month to get used to changing bats to cells vice versus and all the different ammo types. May I also say I called the devotion the devolution for the entirety of season 2! I also thought that just holding an ultimate accelerant in your bag would just speed up the ult cool down 😂 finding all this stuff out in season three made me feel like such a noob. 😂

[@semmlon]

what helped me improve a lot was lowering my sensitivity and fixing my posture.

[@dhrida5518]

Glad you mentioned DPI, it's definitely something people are still missing on, they ask other players about their sensitivity, but most don't mention what DPI they are on, wich is a huge factor even if its slightly different...

[@RoomiestChalice]

11:16 ping opacity needs to be changed so when you ADS your pings dont fill your screen very helpful when teamates ping an enemy right in front of you while knocked, allowing you to see him not the ping.

[@sparkyenergia]

The one that always gets me is when a team mate name is directly behind the enemy. Suddenly I'm being shot by my team mate. Basically dead before I realise whats actually happening.

Crazy how some simple changes can make all the difference. Good tips for everyone to refresh themselves on our good for the new player to grasp.

[@CupcakeLadyOriginal]

Another VERY important setting change is getting thrown out of loot boxes and crafter when getting damaged. You literally can't loot when you're in zone and it's still activated which could kill you

[@psychoticskittle7805]

for the “dead slide” section. you can actually instant slide by holstering your weapon which negates the need for the three steps. also if your holstered already you can instant slide with your gun out. from holster position your hit triangle first then immediately slide. the latency will allow the two animations to happen at the same time

[@BigTasty66]

Is there a chance you could make a hierarchy video on the legends that benefit the most from a gold helmet (from a teamwork aspect) so it’s easier to conceptualize who to give it to on the team?

[@postkage5067]

As a mirage main this is perfect keep listening to these tips because me personally I become the decoy and it works 7-10 just do the opposite of what you think they think you’ll do and “you just got bamboozled”

[@JustJack7860]

3:52 doesnt work if they use a white or blue skin. unsure if its a bug or intended. The higher grade skins make his arms visible during the animation. IF you were using a white/blue quality skin you would be completely invisible unless you take damage during the animation.

[@TailicaiCorporation]

Love the last one. Though ironically I play with ALC settings but it’s because I used to play Gears so I want that higher turn speed, but I’ve kinda hybridized a few people I’ve watched and it’s helped out a ton I run 400/400 pitch and yaw and then next section is 160/160 250/250. I tried going back to linear or classic and it just felt so clunky and awful to track people that were coming at me.

I’m not a mirage main, but whenever I use my Ultimate, I purposely don’t move to the most advantageous spot if I have enough leeway as to not make my real self obvious, and to directly counter the tip given at 3:45 it’s a great tip, but unless I’m in a desperate situation, you won’t find me 😎

only thing about health if you’re a revenant main his hit box is chunky so i always carry a little extra shields and medkits and i usually just drop a grenade since revenant has the silence ability

[@Not_SPZ]

I think the biggest tip I would give is to turn on auto-sprint and then put slides to L3 or left joystick now you can do stuff like hipfire and crouch without bending your finger 360 degrees to press Circe or B (Fair warning this does change Zooming in to Circle/B)

[@rippinlipstv9113]

I put my jump on L1 my crouch on R3 and my tactical on R1

[@polartest122]

i love tip 5 because as a mirage player its easier to fool people who would know where someone would go rather then someone who just shoots any and all clones. less random chance

[@archxakuma4932]

Is random strafe is good? It is you go like a little bit of circle, left right, forward back. Like you woudnt even know where you are strafing this is just way to random.

[@ratyrat5]

ideally you should know which way you are strafing lol, so you can move your mouse in the opposite direction and hit those shots. if YOU dont even know which way you are strafing then it will be much harder to hit the enemy. if its hard for you to think about that in the middle of a gunfight try developing your own pattern.

[@Alastor.D]

It's not good, it's not a great strafe. I still get beamed. crouch jump strafe is better.

[@archxakuma4932]

@@ratyrat5 It is more like a infinite symbol. Its not that i am standing there still but rather just going left and right which almost all player knows i wanted to do a unique pattern so i tried a infinte symbol strafe.

[@Ali-xh8du]

I'm a pretty new apex player, but what i noticed that later on in the game it's best to only carry med kits and shield batteries. carrying shield cells will use up a lot of space and it takes forever to restore to full armor.

[@MangosInTrees]

You’re wrong

[@Ali-xh8du]

@@MangosInTreesit'd take 4 shield cells, which is an entire slot, to fully restore your level 4 (purple armor). 1 Shield battery fully restores it. and 2 batteries make up one slot

@@Ali-xh8du like mango says, it's not really true. even with red evo and just 2 squads left, i always will carry my 4 syringes and 4-8 cells even with 2 med kits and up to 4-6 batts. reason is a cell is faster to use, then a battery and most of the time u havent the freedom to pop up a bat, so that 1 or 2 cells you pop in the fight can save your life more then a battery could safe you there
