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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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)

[@fragr33f74]

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

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.

[@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.

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

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!

[@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

You don’t simply teach it man.. I taught my self how to remove recoil with crouch strafing if I try and stand still and shoot someone my sim is terrible

[@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?

[@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.

[@tubiacanga-lr1yj]

An essential video, now I know how to streif the right way, but I still can't hit my opponents in their strafes XD, can you teach me that?

[@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

[@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.

[@WanderingFlautist]

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

[@TY-fy4of]

Hey there; could i please ask how you made the camera face you in third person? I know how to make third person, but how you made the camera on the opposite side ? I feel like that would help me know how i look like in opponent perspective. Many thanks please reply !

[@sergentdrip]

This explains why I die strafing too fast

[@htcu0758]

I feel like nobody is talking about b hopping while shooting in close range fights it’s so useful just a bit hard to get used to but when you have perfected this movement mechanic you’re so hard to track close to medium range fights. But a really good Vid again 💪

[@Thelostmcmotorcycleclub]

Other players still laser me. I could learn the neo strafe & it wont do shit

[@htcu0758]

@@Thelostmcmotorcycleclub 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]

@@Thelostmcmotorcycleclub 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.

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.

It's no different then when a person strafe left and right and you need to track them, when you strafe more left you might need to pull a little bit in the opposite direction (move left look right, move right look left) you can practice doing this on the dummies, go check out my aiming warmup video on my channel!

[@notgrayish5764]

You would simply use your analog stick, set movement deadzone (in settings) to small. (Deadzone is basically a circle, the larger the circle the more 'work' it takes to register an input. Making it small is almost essential for micro movements in apex). After that. Move your stick left to right (or vice versa) and strafe. I think moving your stick a little diagonally helps get a strafe that looks like the one in the video but after going in 1st person is didn't rlly feel any different. I'd suggest try them both out. And be very lightw on your stick (since we are working with a small deadzone). If you want an example of controller strafing, look up some Verhulst Clips, Extesyy Clips, or look up, '1v1 chat in Apex but then..' by kandryrew. They 1v1 verhulst in the end and I think you cam get a good look at his strafe.

[@notgrayish5764]

Also. Going into 3rd person view in the firing range helps a lot. So you can see what your strafe looks like. Playing claw also makes movement in apex MUCH easier. However, I believe you can strafe no matter how you hold your controller, just takes practice.
