Having a good start in Apex Legends is essential for things to go well from there, but it is not as easy as it seems. If you are not the Jumpmaster, you can always blame him for not choosing well, but if you are the one leading the squad, this guide will help you to know, understand and put into practice how to be a good jumpmaster.
Knowing what equipment is with you, where to fall, how to get to the ground as soon as possible and what to do if all of the above goes wrong, will be vital to survive for the first few minutes and, with some luck and skill, become one of the last teams to go down.
What team accompanies you?
The first point to know how to act before falling is to know what team is accompanying you. Do you have a balanced group? Do you have one primarily focused on attack? Are Bloodhound and Wraith with you to see if you have enemies nearby?
Apex Legends guide: all characters and their abilities
Depending on the characters and their abilities, you will know which option suits you best. It is not the same going to head for the supply ship than trying to fall into an isolated area that apparently all the players are completely passing. And the team that accompanies you and their level should tell you if you can go for all or you must play with mettle. When in doubt, opt for the latter.
Know where to fall
In case everything looks great and you decide to go to the kaffir for the ship, try to fall in the back. It's the easiest way to get weapons fast and clean up the area before you turn into specks of dust on another team's broom. The supply ship It is undoubtedly the most recommended option with the right equipment (off the ground and with good equipment), but not the only one.
In our guide to the Apex Legends map you will find other positions to fall into to get top-level weapons. In general everything that surrounds the map It is a better option than what is in the center, but you always run the risk of ending up very far from the circle. Despite this, thanks to the option to get on the balloons and quickly move elsewhere, that should not be a problem.
How to fall faster
There are two key strategies for landing as quickly as possible in Apex Legends and getting to the ground before everyone else. Doing it supposes loot earlier and better, so it is convenient to have them on hand to be able to overtake the rest of the teams. The first one is a trick that will probably disappear soon, and is as simple as falling into a high area and then jumping into the void. For some strange reason, the fall from the ship is slower than that option, so as incredible as it may seem, always keep it in mind.
The second, valid for any type of situation, is the mechanics wavedrop. If you know the saying that a straight line is the fastest way to reach a point, it is not exactly like that here. In Apex Legends, it is best to make a diagonal that forms waves. That is, fall a little vertically, then recover the diagonal, fall again vertically, and so on until you reach the destination.
And when you arrive at the destination, what?
Separation and communication, the two maxims of looting in Apex Legends. Indicate where you are going to fall and mark where your companions should separate. The idea is to sweep the area as soon as possible between the three of you, so if you all end up in the same building it will be much more difficult for the three of you to have good weapons at the end of the hunt.
If you think you already have everything you need, reports constantly with ping to your companions of what you have found. They may still be desperate for a good weapon and your discards will be of interest to others. Remember this is a team game, so act like one.
What to do if everything goes wrong at first
If all of the above fail, chances are you've seen another team go down before you and are late for loot time. In that case, the most instinctive thing would be to try to correct your position in flight or to run, but it is not the most advisable thing to do. Keep calm, grab a gun as quickly as possible, and once you're out of empty hands, head to another place.
Stop staining in Apex Legens is easy if you follow these tips
If bad luck hits you with full force, probably one or more of the team has fallen in combat and you are not prepared to face a counterattack. Calm. Wait until the storm subsides and try to recover the plates of your companions. Indicate them with the ping That is where you are going to go, but that you will when possible. After that, exactly the same with the respawn, mark a spawn point on the map so that they are aware that your intention is to bring them back to life as soon as possible and when there is no risk.
