Tips and tricks to start playing Apex Legends
Apex Legends it's a different game than the rest of Battle Royale. Okay, there are no titans or moving at full speed along the walls, but if you adapt to their style and follow the following tips, many hours of play will await you.
Meet the legends
Starting from this base, in a game like Apex Legends you have to know well the virtues of its characters, known as legends. With the table of characters and abilities that we have left above, you will be able to know which is the one that best suits your style of play.
Play as a team
By jumping out of the vehicle, you can follow your squad - being able to suggest where to go - or choose to land alone, wherever you want. Apex Legends, despite being a battle royale, is geared towards team play. You have to change the chip and adapt to its rules. By staying close to the rest of the team, you can heal those who might be injured (or heal you).
Usa el sistema Ping
Although it is always advisable to use a microphone, with the Ping system you can transmit valuable information to your colleagues by means of a button. Either to mark an enemy or to distribute the loot with the companions. In Apex Legends there is a high tactical component. You can use quick shortcuts (R1 / RB, double press R1 / RB ...) or press and hold R1 / RB to display the preset messages menu, which without using voice chat, will allow you to leave messages to say where you are going , if an enemy has passed through the area you are in ... and much more.
Damage colors
En Apex Legends each character has 100 health points that can be increased to 200 according to stats and armor. Each time you deal damage to an opponent, damage of one color will appear. If it is purple, it means that he is wearing armor of lvl 3, blue of lvl 2 and white, the weakest, of lvl 1. If you shoot at the head, the yellow color will be reflected, it means that that player has no armor, for what should be more aggressive.
No fall damage
In Apex Legends you will not take damage if you fall from a great height. It is important to keep this in mind, since jumping into the void can help you get out of a delicate situation. And without a scratch!
¡Revive!
A characteristic novelty of Apex Legends is that death is not the end. When a player is eliminated from combat, there is a recovery system in which there are 90 seconds to reach the loot box of a slain teammate and pick up their banner. Then take this signal to one of the many recovery centers scattered around the map to save our ally and return to the heat of battle. Each respawn can only be used once per team.
Attentive to supplies
Upon landing in King's Canyon, you will see an icon for a supply ship on the map, representing the final destination of the rewards. If you calculate its fall route, you can land there directly. These ships have high-level loot, so they can be a good option to start the battle. But be careful, they are always one of the hot spots on the map.
Materials and manufacturing
As we play games we will level up and get different objects, such as frames for our flag or manufacturing metals. By reaching certain amounts of these materials, we can "make" appearances for weapons and other cosmetic details. They are scarce goods, so think carefully in what you will invest them ...
Is there a season pass?
Well, although it is not yet available, it will be soon. Both price and operating system remain to be confirmed (if there will be challenges in the style of Fortnite, etc.), although it is already known that it will offer a total of 100 cosmetic items to unlock.
