You're NOT Strafing Properly (here's how to fix that) Apex Legends

[@skylaps2g491]

This video was game changing for me I was always doing mini strafes and I couldn’t figure out why i was getting killed so easily now I’m goated so thank you my man!

[@TheRealDistrict]

No worries at all, I'll always be here to make free and helpful content. I never had any help when I started Apex in season zero, so I'm doing what I can do help everyone!

Same problem. I'm a pretty good at aiming and so bad at movement, especially strafing. I didn't even realize that. So much to fix now. Thanks for guide!

[@HHashi]

Clicked onto this expecting to see some more "advanced" movement tech, but found a video discussing the basics, which turns out was something I personally neglected. I was definitely guilty of spamming the strafe/crouch keys. This was really insightful, thank you!

[@fragr33f74]

These videos are really well made and straight to the point. Thanks for being informative and not wasting people's time lol.

[@Datan1234]

hot dayum this is clean. I didnt learn nothing here. i got this down to a T. but seeing everything i put so much effort to learn so succinctly put reminded me to focus back on my basics and get in the mentality of, yeh ok, i understand the basics, how do i add more? reminded me of mokeysniper and how much fun practicing this shit is and to stop being arrogant and thinking i dont gotta improve my strafing anymore. respect.

[@Giothegentle]

Thanks for this ! Apex was my first shooter game I played and I wondered why my “strafing” never worked (I was going left to right too fast). Now after watching your video I am playing SOO much better. It’s fun watching my enemies miss now!

[@ratsun5603]

A>D>A>A>A or vice versa works well too btw, good opponents will expect you to counter strafe so their crosshairs will always be positioned further away from where you;re heading. Worked wonders in Overwatch against every hanzo or projectile character. Very effective against the wingman pistol too.(You dont hold the counter strafe keys btw, just tap tap tap)

[@rhin0beatz]

Best strafe guide I've seen in the 4 yrs of playing apex

[@sbjenk5942]

bro i jus subd im currently teaching my wife to play, and this vid helped her so much jus by the 3rd person recording so GG man

[@TheRealDistrict]

I thought, you know what, getting a private lobby and going 3rd person would really give some better perspective to this. So happy this could help. Make sure she gets insane at the game!

[@TokeyTheBear_AOE]

100% going to book a session. As a multiple business owner I think your concept is awesome and well done. Never thought I'd pay for video game coaching but I just started playing Apex 7 days ago and I'm HOOKED. Getting decent already but lacking the battle survivability when getting taken out by someone meth spazzing everywhere. But I looooooove Apex. Nothing else has done it for me like Apex has. See you in coaching at your next available date.

[@meyr1992]

why did you feel the need to mention you got multiple business??

[@TokeyTheBear_AOE]

@@meyr1992 Because it's relevant. Don't like it? Get over it.

[@jboi1556]

A big tip from a season 0 player don't get discouraged from your deaths learn from them and also enjoy the creative ways people take you out 😂 paying attention to what they do also allows you to build a counter for it. Another thing is don't pick someone else's playstyle and stick with it create your own unique playstyle that incorporates some other techniques that you like from others. Also get weird with it if someone doesn't know your next move it makes it a lot harder to hit you. Also if your controller remap your jump to either your L2 or R2 triggers unless you have a strike pack and move your crouch/slide to L3 opens up a lot more movement opportunities when your trying to climb/ jump and mantle jump. Also allows you to jump, slide and look behind you all in one motion.

[@smellyfoot9817]

I love this video. Not only did you teach me how to strafe better (with actual results) but, also the vibes, and how it was put together. Thanks dude, and great video. Btw, what's the song's name at the end?

[@hotpenguin607]

I had no idea I was doing these mini, useless strafes that make myself an easy target That probably threw off my own aim as well Thank you for the guide, really appreciate it

[@DoozyyTV]

If you walk backwards while strafing you will move your hips more making the strafe more extreme.

[@WanderingFlautist]

I absolutely love this, it help so much its insane.

[@xempath]

Truly getting this down while maintaining accuracy is something I find the hardest about this game I’m on mouse and key and sometimes I wonder if my binds are not optimal

[@gabriellalikersuppe2389]

I saw the funniest strafe with an ash and basically she was making a circle with her head 😭😭. Caught me off guard - it looked way too funny

[@TheRealDistrict]

her goals wasnt to strafe on you but to confuse you long enough so she could kill you LOL

[@britishskiing]

Finally!!!! This is exactly what my Apex friends have been unable to teach me. Gonna spend a few weeks drilling this until it’s subconscious.

[@samuraijose817]

Man it took me years to figure it out by myself im only watching to see the best strafe pattern. i wish i had watched this sooner though.

[@coolbrotherf127]

One thing I can add is that some people try to do this even when no one is shooting at them. If you're shooting at someone at medium to long range and they aren't able to shoot back easily, just sit still and land those shots. Strafing is only useful when you have to dodge shots because it makes it harder for you to land shots as well.

[@Gavlar040378]

Guilty 😂

[@jamesburman9784]

Hmmm not really, moving side to side in apex massively reduces vertical recoil.

[@jaimemorales9935]

Then the random Kraber shot has you down

Clear and direct. Super helpful. Subscribed!

[@kimchigamez1394]

Woah this video is underated. This whole time I was doing mini strafes. Now to correct it. I have a question if you don't mind answering is hold crouch much better than toggle crouch. I notice you can spam crouch much faster.

[@TheRealDistrict]

Hold is way better

[@Icesweats]

aim labs has really good strafe practice, that will get you into the habit of doing it the right way without overthinking it

I’ve heard you should never crouch in a strafe 50/50 cuz you GIVE the opponent free headshots by moving your head into their aim assist

[@shenchan8193]

I practiced this with my friends and I have a crazy story. 1 friend is better than me since he is the one who introduced me to the game and the other one I call him “noob ass bitch”. And this tutorial is so good. Cuz my friend who introduced me barely managed to kill me or even break my shield while I was strafing like this. But my noob friend landed almost 4 headshots or more everytime and always 1 clipped me. He’s on controller. It taught me how much difference it makes just switching to a better control. Picked up my 1st controller and cruising through diamond right now. I’m thinking the headshots happened the moment I would crouch. Anyways, it isn’t as fun playing with keyboard but it sure does get the job done.

[@dillonbridge]

Im glad i watched this video, have seen many strafe guides, but you introducing the fake strafe and then incorporating crouch with the fake is definitely gunna level up my basic strafe pattern. Now i gotta learn how to aim while doing these new techniques

[@chrisl3193]

My major issue is that I crouch too much. I use paddles too and have crouch on hold, but there's always a strange feeling of "I'm not getting too low enough" since just tapping it makes you squat an inch 😂 My muscle memory all these years just have me crouching down to where I feel is low enough and then spamming the everloving hell out of crouch and I can tell I'm just permanently crouched when I do that. It's hard to find the line and practicing in 3rd person in the range doesn't seem to be helping. I still look slow af haha

[@liamjacob16]

District, you are to helpful bro fr

[@blessmywifiyt6812]

If ur budget is low for controllers u can put the crouch button on the right analog stick

Coustom controller is expensive sometimes...i changed my settings to do that movement things .....i swapped triggers for crouch and jump respectively (left trigger for crouch and right for jump) and ADS is on bumper jumpers it really is good

i got a question here district, i often see players jitter strafing and i seem to not able to hit them at all! is it a net code thing? or some weird hitbox mechanism that i'm not aware of? P.S. i only started playing recently and i'm a MnK player.

[@htcu0758]

@@IDKWHAT2NAMETHISS then you’re simply doing it wrong or not good enough and however you will strafe in a gun fight people will always hit you it just depends on the intensity how you strafe

[@sayamqazi]

@@IDKWHAT2NAMETHISS You need to do that + do damage. Once you are taking flesh damage your character starts flinching that's why 100 shields vs 100 health the shield will win. Also if you are really really good you can just dodge shots from average players.

nice sum up of the fundamentals. but y is it that me crouch spamming is wining me 80 % of my close range fights? and is the animation fps sensitive like super gildes? pro tip: IF ur enemy has an AR/SMG and u are reacting, not engaging, first strafe ur ass of, fire one or two shots for armor info and wait for the enemy reload animation. THEN u can stop strafing for a sec, aimlock and melt them

Do they sell those controllers for consoles

[@ThermaL-ty7bw]

jump strafe while reloading your empty gun after the strafe is done you're enemy usually couldn't track you because of the speed it produces when you're gun is reloaded , you can take him out

[@sayamqazi]

Do not jump strafe while reloading unless you have good air control. If the enemies gun is not empty you are sure to be one clipped. As I got better at aiming I noticed the most reliably I could kill someone was when they start jumping in the middle of 1v1. Of course if they know how to air strafe in the jump then it is not easy to track.

[@brrcs]

@@sayamqazi you gotta tap strafe if you're gonna jump
