Apex Ranked Guide: How To Get Consistent 4,000 Damage Gameplay Breakdown Season 22

[@Dazs]

Saw comment on the length. Sorry video is so long. But its why I put Ranked & Pubs similar damage back to back. My goal was to ensure I hit on the fundamentals. So it feels winded when reviewing the footage I had the goal and intention for it to me and felt it was educational hitting that goal. If it did not hit that goal. I will continue to try and again with more educational content is all I can do! Also...How many times did I say highlight in this video? I went through and added TONS of timestamps. Everything mentioned is how consistently the 4k damage games work. But its not just one thing.

Different people have different preferences and it is also good to get out of their comfort zone. if i wanna watch people play the the game and use comms, i can watch stream which you listed in description. As for length, its decent enough i don't like short video content so appreciate longer videos. point is everyone is different and you keep on pumping content, also I play most of videos while i work so talking over the game explaining thing actually helps me. keep doing what you do.

[@ddwalker3744]

I love your love 4 this game, your videos are so in depth and it's just great stuff, definitely my #1 Apex KZbinr

[@rustictuntuqtv7725]

Length is fine. So much information and I found all of it useful. I just started playing last season and with such a steep learning curve it is nice to see a positive youtuber break it down.

[@titvngaming7693]

Who the hell is complaining about content

[@slevinlaine]

I like it that is long video I enjoy long videos, thank you!!

[@mattlucken7841]

Yo this man posted one of the most detailed informational videos with tons of help and everyone is complaining? I loved it. Thank you for posting this

[@Exca1ibur707]

I really hate to see KZbinrs and streamers that have true passion for what they do and put forward 110% and not get back what they deserve. Dazs I hope the likes/views don’t get to your head and you keep uploading useful content for games as always. Keep it up man ❤️❤️❤️

[@NonnyStrikes]

Dude really is king of content for so many skill levels. Between his explanations and Itztimmy's tempo; I'm making BIG strides compared to watching Faide or Someone that gives no context or perspectives.

[@willwhalen7572]

Hey finally one of these videos! You've helped me alot. Use to be 500 damage a game to constistent 1-2k and confidence when taking fights. Excited to now take the tips where I'm at

[@ChilledRippa]

I definitely needed this guide. This season of rank is fun for me. More intense fights and a lot of thinking on my toes I love it

[@malyman316]

Just play for fun, the moment you embrace the game as fun , you play better, you dont get angry etc , why you need high dmg , you will most likely get it when you are not scared to die and just fight and have fun at every possibility

[@michaelamcmurray]

Embracing Alter this season has been some of the most fun I've had playing apex...1500+ hours in. The plays you can make are amazing

[@Dhw997]

Cant even play ranked lmao

[@Dazs]

I want to play more ranked but can't :( :(. Hoping it gets fixed soon.

OOOH MY GOD, the Chrono Trigger music in the background!! So subtle (Secret of the forest??) I love it : ) sooo much. Glad to see you're a man of culture as well. : ) Suuuuper soothing for your commentary, thank you so much for your hard work and to make this nice and cozy, it's brilliant. I've been watching your videos and I feel like I've been learning some good stuff, thank you very much for that : ). 7:14 So true, I say this specially when I'm using shotguns, I take time and aim and damn land my shots, I cannot mostly flick and land the shot, but breath and remain clam, that's my way to win a 1 vs 1.

[@pjgolden9274]

This is a really great video well done and thanks for the tips 👍

[@Snappy1143]

Love your videos, my fav apex channel for learning game sense ♥️

[@supreme782]

I will leave this here so I can come back and say thanks twice after I have done it. 🙏🏾

[@Dazs]

Appreciate you watching! :)

[@bsuwolf6302]

The wolf guy is pretty cool 😂. Love the guide!!!

[@NonnyStrikes]

"Breathe" yeah... it's tough, but golf prepared me haha!

[@52weekproject]

Do you have a video teaching how to play Watson? I always thought they had a cool kit but it made me feel like I need to be more passive and you make it look so much more fun!

[@Dazs]

I do, have an hour guide here on the channel. Planning a new updated one! Do you need a link? :)

[@52weekproject]

@@Dazs I’ll find it. I’m debating trying to really main Newcastle I feel like I can play them fairly well and can be good to help teammates.

[@zrudu]

I KNOW that I need to stay in cover and hop between different spots to get closer to the opponent. I KNOW that I need to fall back and reset with the opportunity I’ve been given. However, I get so focused on hitting my shots that I accidentally walk out of cover or play in fights I couldn’t have won. When I get into the heat of battle all of that important theory of fighting, pressuring, and resetting goes out the window. Your advice to keep a cool head and breathe is not just padding but a reminder not to get in your own head. Even though I can’t digest this video all at once, the more outstanding tips will jump out. Breathe. Pick your Fights. Those are the two that jumped out to me because I realise that if I work on these I should be able to simply stay alive for longer. PS. A longer video isn’t a bad thing. I kind of think about it like a textbook I can return to. Definitely will come back to watch this and improve.

[@neotoxsin]

I got my first 4k badge yesterday before watching this

[@tylergreen2130]

you are an incredible teacher dude. In another world you would have been a beast of school teacher lol

[@khmatrix]

Commenting before watching. I played this game when it first came out and the 3 years after, and one thing I wanted the most is to get the 4k20bomb. I dropped the game in 2023 because I couldn't improve no matter how much time I put in(getting killed by sweats and high ranked players). This season I came back and found the Revival game mode was definitely something fresh compared to the regular BR and when you could grind for the badges I was real invested. Well today's patch "fixed" that and now they're no longer attainable, so now I'm at a standstill. Should I keep playing this game even though it has serious issues? Or drop it again now that I lost my only chance to get the 4k20bomb? Because solo q is torture, and I was close to getting those badges so many times but I always miss a kill or two or 100/200dmg, it just sucks....

[@alkuz100]

I can’t remember the streamer but he said something like master calm aiming and don’t get all nervous cuz you’ll miss more shots

[@halakon666]

Well being a fight at silver yeah that works… once you get to plat, its a pain because team plays loot simulator or shoot like bronze. Even when you try to play good you will climb to diamond. Problem being, fights are no longer about pushing, it’s a resource and vantage point game. Starting gold you will also be like playing against chinese players with 32 lvl accounts here and there. At diamond they are 3 stacked -___- worse even yet, more masters and predator 3 stacks while randoms are plat or diamond. Best tip i can give? Find people that play like you, and do decent damage, who communicate, don’t solo queue any more lol

[@jaimemorales9935]

This is W comment. Solo Q past gold is a nightmare

[@ThePlagueDrFrost]

@@jaimemorales9935for me once I hit diamond it goes downhill, my teammates are usually gold when I’m in diamond and the champions are current preds who are level 60

[@MadMcCulloch]

This is a good example of how even in ranked, the casual player can't get a far game

[@Gau-Chuu]

I still can’t play ranked it’s locked for me and I also got reset as well.

[@Dazs]

Mine got reset also, saw their last tweet about fixing it. Hoping it gets fixed ASAP!

[@Gau-Chuu]

@@Dazs let’s hope so 😁

[@richardcastro8108]

Also one advice I can give y'all as an OG player, sometimes when you have a good teammate or you're sure of your skill, you can wait for the duo or the single player to RES their other teammates, so when he's RES you knock him and kill him and now your team only needs to kill 2 more, free kills, free points.

[@vanillamilk7919]

i just wanna rank up and improve but idk i just dont know how to not instantly get fried since i play on console, im at least getting more confident solo queing

[@Dazs]

Make sure to use cover and look for information on opponents, never blindly run in. Added tons more timestamps Of those concepts to help! :)

[@vanillamilk7919]

@@Dazs thank you!!!

[@ddwalker3744]

I solo Q ranked all the time, maybe we should team up...bronco0730 on PS5

[@Battl3ATth3Frontlin3]

Scraping out of Gold is so hard. There’s such a VAST IQ difference from Gold to Platinum. I’m not very good at the game and can be a hit n miss, but more often than not, I’m with a team that isn’t aware of another team circling in on us.

[@emma6648]

Got two 18 bombs back to back and 11 assist, I’m very demotivated to play anymore tbh

[@JohnRedcorn822]

[@achrafdz4430]

Also play on 160 or 144 fps monitor instead of 60 fps like me to feel smoothie more 😅

[@ThePlagueDrFrost]

I always get stuck at 3.4k because my teammates finish the last squad even tho I ask them if I can farm 😭

[@gxdschild.1988]

seeing this when i sold a 4k game earlier. 3879 then got third partied by another team😑

[@LoganSmith-b1v]

Can’t even play ranked. Me and my buddies were going for first 750 preds. All of us have the bug. I was diamond, went down to gold and now I can’t even play.

[@Dazs]

@@LoganSmith-b1v I cant play at the moment either :(

[@MartinMartian63]

The biggest thing I see him do is hit shots. It’s ok to miss, but if you can’t one clip, you can almost insure you’ll take more damage.

[@willblooper23]

Playing with only 1 syringe for most of the game is wild 😅

[@GavinZbeatsfan9999]

At this point the only thing preventing me from getting high damage games is my ability to stay good at the game, I have gotten less than 10 good games in 3 weeks & I'm only getting worse. I hate cheaters but I see why they do it... Not that any of these cheating losers have 15k hours like I do or anything even close to that

[@NonnyStrikes]

There really isn't as many cheaters in the game that sm claims. Most of the time it's frustration. Don't be down about someone else that spent that 15k hours more efficiently.

[@NonnyStrikes]

I'll add this, not that you care, but you should... be able to accept changes, even at your level. Collect endless perspectives; kill the ego, and I will bet any money you'll be CRACKED.

[@ron3940]

Daz this was terrible timing, they removed the ability to farm 4k/20 bombs in the revival mode

[@Dazs]

Its because its straight shot now which is an LTM, not the revival BR mode

[@ARMAfuckenGEDDON]

⁠its still regular trios revival

[@ron3940]

@@Dazs ahh so im guessing itll return after (:

[@kabigonsnorlax8719]

Its cause Revival was a takeover event for 1 week only, replacing pubs completely. It is now considered just an ltm because reg trios is back in the rotation therefore badges don’t count. This mode will likely never return with free badges😂

More long winded rambles over a normal gameplay video with 0 structure or editing. I love you Dazs but this voice-over on top of a normal video for 50mins is... asking a lot of people's time and attention span. At this point just record your gameplay and talk while you play and pretend you're streaming.

[@Dazs]

Appreciate the feedback, I had a goal. Guess it did not hit it. I really wanted to show back to back ranked & pubs. But give commentary over both of those and hit on the similarities. When I reviewed it. I felt was solid. But guess we try again! Intention always just to help and educate!

[@Dazs]

Updated pinned comment apologizing on the length. I know in the past individuals used to comment wanting it longer and hitting on points more. Perhaps content style has changed. We go again though! Really thought hit on something positive here.

[@YAYAYOYOY32]

I for one at least, did enjoy the video. I find your cadence when speaking very helpful and it gives a tutor-like vibe. Anyway dazs just wanted to say there are people who give criticism openly but there are also people who enjoy the video and don't mention it. Keep up the good stuff man

[@kieran.p]

Personally I think the long winded rambles are great. There's all different levels of people watching and different styles of content. The rambles for me work well as its almost getting into the mind of a pro player instead of someone telling me what I SHOULD or SHOULDN'T do. He rambles with very key tips. But again, that's for me. Keep up the great long form content aka Rambles 😂

[@michaelamcmurray]

Commentary over games is great. I can respect wanting a shorter video but this format is good. Maybe start with cliff notes edited in or create a short about it.
