Apex Legends is the fashionable Battle Royale and, as the hours of play begin to add up, little by little you understand what the objective of Respawn Entertainment has been when creating the game. Knowing it basically means knowing how to play properly, but if you want to skip that learning process, this beginner's guide it can save you a lot of trouble.
Here we tell you how to focus the games from minute one to take advantage of all the depth it offers Apex Legends and succeed in most of the encounters that await you on your map. A series of tips, tricks and secrets that you may have overlooked but can make the difference between living or dying.
Where to drop off at the start of the game
After starting the game, the three members of the team will begin to fall on the map. Depending on whether or not you are the leader, you can choose where to land, but there are several options to consider during this first phase. The first one is to mark a drop zone to let your colleagues know, ideal to agree on what you are going to do during those first minutes.
If you are the leader but you are not sure what to do, you can pass control of the fall to another user. The most important thing is that the three of you arrive together in the same area, no matter where, and that is to walk alone on the map of Apex Legends it is usually synonymous with immediate death. However, that does not mean that the three of you should fall at the exact same point. Ideally, here is that you separate a bit within the same area to avoid having to compete for weapons and ammunition. Fall close, but not stuck like limpets.
If you are looking for recommendations on where to fall to get the best weapons, the area marked on the map with the arrival of the supply ship will always be the best option, since it has high-level loot that can be of great help during the game, but it is not recommended for Beginners since it is always usually full of players. Better opt for the areas with high-level weapons that appear on the map, hot areas marked in blue that, in addition, will give you more experience for each kill achieved.
How to move quickly around the map
Apex Legends It is a noticeably faster game than the rest of Battle Royale on the market, but that it is in the movement of its players does not necessarily mean that it must also be in the rhythm. In fact, Respawn itself has already commented that the intention of the team by offering a game between squads of three and that there are fewer users per map, is precisely to mark that speed.
The game is created so that you can expand at the beginning of the game looking for the best weapons and equipment before jumping into combat, that's why absolutely everything is full of more weapons and options than your inventory can ever manage. Scroll down and do your best to scratch from one area before jumping into the next, because crouching waiting for something to happen will hardly ever be a good option.
To do this, take advantage of the mobility of your legend, climbing by holding down the jump, knocking down doors with blows or explosions, sliding down the slopes to go from here to there at greater speed and, above all, losing the fear of climbing on a balloon to go flying to the nearest area. A player moving it will always be more difficult to kill than one that is predictable and easily surrounded.
Work as a team and you will win
You're not alone. It does not matter that your friends have not connected to play or that you do not have a microphone. In fact, it doesn't even matter if your colleagues are tiresome and you decide to mute them from the menu. Team play will always be present and you must take advantage of it to survive. In other words, the ability to mark, to ping, is essential.
You can mark areas to go to, enemies sighted, weapons or accessories that you have found and want to share with your teammates ... In fact, you can even tell your team what you need by opening the inventory and pinging whatever you think is appropriate. The communication is everything, and Respawn has created a very useful tool to overcome that need without having to go through the trouble of striking up a conversation with complete strangers.
From that point on, try to get to know better which character your teammates carry and how they can help you in combat or how you can support them at all times. The skills of the legends in this game are extremely important to gain an advantage, but only if they are used wisely and can be combined with each other.
Proper inventory management
It is very likely that upon reaching the ground in Apex Legends you have the urgent need to collect all the crap that you find on the ground. In fact, you might even be tempted to pick up that higher tier lilac or gold gear that glows on the ground, but do you really need it?
Check first if it suits you, if the weapons you like to play with are compatible or if you have a lot of space. If not, let your colleagues know to be picked up. Otherwise, you may spend the whole game occupying a gap and / or preventing a partner from getting the death you need to win.
Take a good look at the colors you have at your fingertips and seek to improve your shield and helmet whenever you can, since they also offer substantial improvements such as being able to protect yourself or even heal yourself when you fall in combat. It does not matter if they are weapons, accessories, power-ups or boxes of players fallen in combat, the color is always the most important and the indicator of whether you should move there or not is worth it.
Dominating the combat
Finally, it's time to fight and, although most would tell you to avoid direct combat in the first few games, it does not seem the most appropriate. The advice makes sense because it means surviving longer and, from what we know so far, the best way to gain experience in Apex Legends is to stay in the game as long as possible.
However, fleeing fights means that when the time comes to fight, you don't really know what to do, and in the long run it can be counterproductive and frustrating to always fall in combat after having spent several minutes arming yourself to the teeth. Look for the showdown as long as it is at medium or close range and, if you are far away, choose not to engage in combat. The agility of the characters makes it very difficult to be really effective from long range.
Once at work, know what each weapon does, how you can alternate the type of shot to get the most out of them at all times and, above all, keep an eye on all the indicators that appear on the screen. The color of the opposing player, for example, indicates what type of armor he has and how aggressive you should be against him. Try to take advantage of it in your favor and, above all, stop wasting your skills without rhyme or reason, otherwise it is more than likely that you will miss them when you need them most.
