Top 15 Controller Tips You Need To Know! (Apex Legends)

[@CherryLolotv]

Love all your tips :) I played on 106 FOV from the very beginning and just switched to 96. I can play a lot better that way. I wasn't able to see enemies right with the high FOV

[@dontworrybhppy1041]

I’ve been thinking about changing my FOV! I’m at 110 now and have found myself struggling to shoot players far away unless I have the 2-4 scope! I’m on console but play with my buddy who plays pc.. so I get beamed from distance! Hopefully this will help.

[@MeticulousTechTV]

4-3 linear was a game changer for me. Wish I would’ve started with it, made movement, recoil and tracking so much easier once I got used to it. I’ve tried switching back to classic and now it feels terrible to me Edit: wanted to add, going linear gave me stick drift on no dead zone. I converted my 4-3 linear to ALC with some tiny adjustments, primarily adding 3 dead zone and 3 outer limit. There are some great Reddit posts detailing how to convert from regular sensitivity to ALC without changing the feel

[@jamesrussell5374]

[@TuckyTuck]

I thought I was the only one. 4-3 linear felt a tad bit odd to me (Ive played cod with reverse s for the past 4 years)...so I converted 4-3 to ALC and increased my response curve slightly to 3, and put my deadzone up so that I barely get stick drift if my hand isnt on the stick. If ANYONE doesn't feel perfect on 4-3 linear...ALC's with minor adjustments is the way to go

[@blackson932]

I know this comment is old but getting stick drift is kinda op since aim assist is always on its one of the reason nearly all pro play with no deadzone.

[@brandonsantana5981]

Before i switched to ALC i used 6 5 linear. Now i use pitch and yaw 350 with extra 250 on both and ads is 170 for both with 170 extra. Usually people dont like having extra on their ads but it actually does a lot with aim assist. When youre not aiming at someone its fast then slows down when you aim at someone

[@rohanvengurlekar8981]

Been playing apex for a year, wasn't expecting to learn anything but i ended up learning a few things, thanks

[@Ben-ok5ps]

Been playing since the release always something you never thought of

[@XDNDIOR89]

for tip #1 i suggest doing a 360 on a door then reload at the 180 mark for a new mag and a quick look at your surroundings. (hope this helped)

[@KingKraftyGaming]

I think one of the biggest things that improved my movement was switch toggle crouch to hold crouch. Superglides and sliding bunny hops much smoother. Also if you don’t have paddles you are always at a disadvantage. My paddles are mapped to A B X Y and I never have to take my fingers off the sticks. So I can slide, turn, crouch and jump all and jump all at the same time

[@jakeduhamel7771]

you can do the same when playing claw

[@ohmsohmsohms]

[@HEXY-on-Steam]

@@jakeduhamel7771 don’t switch to mnk

[@JeradisFIL]

If you’re coming from cod the best button layout is custom. Since I play tactical I do use melee as circle and crouch r3 but also ping up on the dpad, heal with R1.

[@fatherofratfetus.7844]

Just another tip, instead of using button puncher button layout u could also have your left thumb stick as slide so you can do special types of movement such as super gliding

[@swipeyybrown8294]

Pro controller

[@dddd-of7do]

Great video! I will def be practicing my wall bounces and jump looting to take my skills to the next level. Like u said,I no how to do it it’s just implementing it to my games until it’s muscle memory. Thanks for the tips

[@shredlife702]

after messing with heal binds for awhile as a ps4 controller user on steam, i finally arrived on split touchpad left tap = syringe left click = med kit right tap = cell right click = batt ps button = phoenix as a split keyboard/controller player....its sooo optimal

[@zackkiefer3410]

First thing I do is switch to shields as soon as I land. I use paddles and ended up putting slide on my left paddle and shields/heals for right paddle. Makes things so much easier.

[@ArturDZGN]

Get a controller with paddles if you get the chance. Power A controllers are quite cheap and do the trick. It will improve your gameplay 200%, even if you use the back button for crouch and jump.

[@xSTONYTARKx]

Microsoft recently released a list of 3rd party controllers that they approve of. All the 3rd party controllers that aren't on this list won't be useable in the new year.

[@senbonzakura13]

My controller setting settings for apex are left bumper-crouch, right bumper jump, tactical Right stick. Makes it so you can aim with the right stick and simultaneously jump, crouch/slide, using tac without ever taking my finger of the right stick

[@kevinbarragan4932]

I love bumper jumper, it frees up quite a bit of your controller and then getting used to claw might be beneficial to help with the interacts in fight

[@Perks_101]

I have a ps5 dual sense edge, so 2 back buttons and run custom. Same as button puncher but changed interact to L1 and ability to square ( left paddle, jump is on right paddle ) works well only need to push face buttons for weapon swapping.

[@HoldingThisHandle]

A bit of a personal tip, i re-mapped my jump to LB and its so much easier to do movement.

[@Archaten]

Same I play half claw (only on right side) and switched to bumper jumper and my movement feels alot better

[@brandoferg6460]

Every one should play linear 4-3 or 4-4 button puncher if on a ps4 controller. Best

[@ryansmithhd3011]

I switched to controller recently after about 10 years on MnK and already I'm playing more consistently on Apex after following this guide about a month back

[@deancartwright3453]

I use button puncher but I struggle holding a head glitch because I'm to heavy handed on the right stick and end up crouching when I shoot, any tips for that?

[@llllk-fz6xw]

I'm Master on console but I still like to watch and see if there are better ways to do things. I also just like the gameplay.

[@TheCrypticJosh]

I simply suggest learning claw. I play claw as well as have 2 back paddles that i use for meds and jumping and its incredibly useful. Super gliding, wall jumping and bunny hopping becomes incredibly easier.

[@zProblysleepz]

Are there no players that use top bumpers for shooting and aiming? (Edit) I use Alcs and custom controller settings~ Jumps on left trigger, slides on left stick, aim on left bumper, fire on right bumper, inspect on O, grenades nd heals on left and right Dpad, and survival on down with pings on x~ I can do all controller movement there's no nanosecond delay when shooting (pulling the trigger down) and when you combo that with 4-3 or 6-4 linear/ Alcs that make your sens high but slowed when aim assist kicks in~

[@gagemead27]

I feel that 90 FOV has always been the best for me. Because everything is relatively within sight, but I also don't get the fisheye effect. I hate that. I already have bad enough vision. 🤣

[@jordanbones165]

Another good controller layout is evolved. I see many using it cause you don’t have to move your thumb to jump or bunny hop.

[@CherryLolotv]

I jump on L2 and slide on the stick :)

[@SiebeSC]

One thing to get a lot better is having a really good strafe with some crouches in it you dodge bullets while beaming ur enemies. I’ve had countless times where I one clip someone while they only do 70 dmg to me just bc I’m crouch strafing and dodging their bullets

[@blackline6619]

4:14 I have my jump binded to my stick and that allows me to jump even while i am looting.

[@Maleth224]

i bind my jump button on l3 so i can always jump or crouch when im in a dead box, also my interaction is on the norma jump, my greande is on the normal interaction and my crouch is on r3

[@KillerRomantic]

I bind the heals to my left joystick so I can click and select without moving off of the sticks.

[@notfunny6606]

I only played APEX a couple of times when it was just released and now everything seems so alien to me. It's like "what? More maps? Weapon attachments? I don't think I know this game anymore." Thank you for making this video you definitely taught me something.

[@gnomesayin8902]

I’ve found Verhulst controller layout to really work for me. Don’t really have to take my thumb off the stick when I’m fights at all.

[@harrisonodie7803]

For layout I prefer ninja because it keeps your thumbs on the sticks while jump and crouch are LB and RB

[@AgentMatt11]

For the door reloads tip, you could just switch to hold for reload tap to use

[@NormadYT]

Not good for fights when not near doors which is way more common so to save time you don’t want that. Milliseconds matter in a CQB 1v1

[@osaidugboe6232]

what are the best claw binds and faster linear sense ?

[@BuRtnzAtN]

Great tips. I know you talked about not using ALC in the past, but I have some bad stick drift I need to increase dead zone because of and I don’t see an option to do that without using ALC, any tips?

[@blutchit]

In gameplay on settings you can just set deadzone for look and movement which ever one has the issue put it on large

[@darkninja3362]

Coming from other fps games I always had the mindset that high sens = good, so having 6-7 and him saying 4-5 at most or whatever was was a surprise

[@easyj]

Tip 1 is only for console, you can use steam to change your binding on pc, bind interact and reload on different btn

[@calebwilken1249]

In controller settings you can choose things like “hold x to reload and tap x to interact” and so on just to throw that out there!

[@captainjacksparrow2509]

That’s what I did as soon as it came out. It told a tad bit to get use to and I pick up loot slower be the benefits out way that majorly. I’m a Wattson main and I’d accidentally pick up my fences in fights which would cost me sometimes. I can sit on doors and in knockdown shields. It’s was so huge

[@calebwilken1249]

@@captainjacksparrow2509 yeah I was struggling with the new setting so I changed it back to default lol. I’ve personally never had that problem (yet) so maybe I’ll run in to it in the future and have to figure it out then. Nevertheless it’s a great option to have!

[@kianhardwick]

Currently using a old tv I had for ages and wanna upgrade as I have ps5 now. What are some great competitive monitors to use that aren’t like a grand 😂

[@boogit9979]

Something no one seems to know or talk about. If jump and crouch are bound to L3/R3 or LS/RS they still work in a death box. So youre able to jump and crouch whilst looting. Really only feasible with paddles however

[@Plaidbobcat]

One thing I would like to mention is if any of you have the season 7 reactive R99 that also has better iron sights

[@Your_best_nightmare19.99]

[@rustyweapons5111]

Why not instead of knowing what your heal button is currently on, why don't you just remember the layout of the Heal Wheel so you can quickly use and not have another thing on your mind? Dpad Up + Up Control Stick = Phoenix Kit Dpad Up + Down Right Control Stick = Cell, something like that

[@keag9992]

Smooth brain comment

[@MalikJ527]

The slow inputs would still fuck us up and start the wrong heal because we moved the controller faster than the game picked it up 😢

[@angeloherrera3615]

this guide is amazing!!!

[@tatewillis8022]

I love all of these tips but I had a little bit of a problem with button puncher because long term it can cause bad stick drift because of the overuse of the stick but other than that it is a very good option.

[@nont4747]

4-4 Steady is slept on for controller with almost no stick drift

[@benjamingray4488]

I'm new to your channel. You mention something about ALC early on. What are your thoughts on ALC? Or if there is a video please link.

[@MangosInTrees]

yeah, I've talked about it many previous Aim & Controller videos.

[@ThatOneDudeWho]

My sens is 6-6. I thought I was relatively low but my friend was shocked at how high my sens was. As a controller player, is my sens being this high weird?

[@tgixnz2769]

Somthing to mention, if you play with jump or crouch on your analogs, you will eventually get stick drift, you have great movement but also great stick drift😬

[@PVTalphabet]

100%. I went through 3 controllers in a year because of how bad the drift got. So the 4th one I got with extra buttons/paddles and assigned R3/L3 clicks accordingly. Best thing I ever did.

[@Perrsevera]

nah i’ve done this for all 4 years of me playing apex with the same controller, no issues for me

[@PVTalphabet]

Damn dude, good on you. I thought I took great care of them, but I guess I'm somehow too rough with my controller(s).

[@The_guy90]

This is the reason I run charge rifle. Tutorial on AA basically. Keeps me away from that range where roller is OP.

[@lucasjanusch2802]

Bigggg tip to everyone if u want to move on controller ps4 while in a death box it is possible to jump and crouch the only problem is u will have to put crouch and or jump on ur R2 and L2.

[@Gues21ng]

I had this problem where I would accidentally punch mid fights because the punch button was mapped to r3 and I would accidentally press it while panicking so if you switch to button puncher it will fix that

[@21ninpo]

how many hours do you have in this game?

[@FluffedUpMaverick]

If you don't want to play claw and you have paddles I recommend to try bind your interact/reload button to R1/RB.

[@Ace-hn9rf]

Thank you

[@octospuds9737]

If you play normal grip on controller use evolved instead of button puncher

[@xavyerc5479]

Ty u for the tips I will use these

[@mike780howard]

Apex and warzone are the only games I utilize claw. It's too uncomfortable to hold the controller like that so I hold it normally and just reach with index fingers when need to holster guns, hit heals, and swap weapons or reload

[@alanliu826]

What is your sens?

[@DarknessDaddy]

Not to say its the solution for everyone, but even just 2 extra buttons makes playing sooo much easier. I use back paddles.

[@lil.meechie]

#5 I prefer slight of hand so I slide armour swap oc pad strafe and fight

[@justinsavoie4872]

I'm used to 5-4 sensitivity I do like the fast look though it can be a little harder if you take a bit of the break

The reloading behind doors isn’t really useful. i swapped my reload to Hold instead.

I appreciate these tips. However I encourage you, as well as anyone else to turn that auto reload at mag empty off completely. It is very easy to run the mag and instinctually hit reload, so now your weapon swapped, but you immediately swapped back to the empty gun.
