Very unexpected but no less joyful for us was the news of the release of a new shooter, and part-time game in the Apex Legends battle royale genre from Respawn Entertainment. The game immediately fell in love with millions of gamers. We are offered to experience already familiar sensations from a completely different angle. But, as in any competitive game, the fun comes from winning first, not from running from the enemy and the impending storm. In order to improve the quality and professionalism of gamers who decide to join the ranks of the Legends of the Frontier, this article has been written, which will help from the first minutes of the game to act not like a noob, but like an experienced specialist!
The team is above all. This is the main rule of survival and victory in Apex Legends. The game turned out to be perhaps the most demanding for team tactics, against the background of other representatives of the genre. It simply cannot be played alone - only in squads of three. Therefore, it is better to play with at least two people so as not to feel completely alone, because among your teammates you are unlikely to often come across cybersportsmen or at least those who understand what needs to be done.
Master the wheel of communication. The communication wheel is a very important element of the game, called by clicking on the mouse wheel. With it, you can warn your allies about the presence of the enemy, about finding high-quality loot, about the fact that you are covering them, while simultaneously observing the area. The whole game is built on this kind of communication. There is a nuance, the voice acting of such statements is only English, but the translation is still available in the form of subtitles, in a tense situation you don’t really want to be distracted by reading messages!
Learn the map. Map in Apex Legends not big, so you need to be at the place where you can get hold of high-quality loot as soon as possible, especially since the storage locations for weapons and other equipment do not change!
Learn the types of weapons in the game. 19 different variations of game weapons, divided into several familiar classes, you need to know by heart. Specific ammunition is inserted into each sample: light, heavy, energy, and for shotguns. For the first few matches, test each type of weapon and decide which of the options you are more comfortable with in combat.
Hide your weapons while running. Due to this, you will achieve a faster run, which will allow you to run out of the storm or get away from the enemy.
Do not execute the enemy in battle. An opponent who has fallen to his knees can be beautifully executed, a kind of fatality, but during the animation you completely lose control over your character. Are you wondering what will happen if suddenly at this moment a new enemy appears around the corner? Better to just let the unfortunate couple of shots in the head, and not waste time on useless pathos.
Use shields.Any fallen character in Apex Legends needs to be finished off. But at the same time, lying down here can provide support to allies. Firstly, from a fallen position, you can still distribute pings and report information, and secondly, you can find a force shield on the battlefield, which is activated only while your character is crawling on his knees. With this shield (its strength varies depending on the rarity level), you can protect not only yourself, but also your partner. It is enough to turn on the shield and ask the teammate to stand behind you - then you will get an impromptu shelter that can pull your squad out of a difficult situation.
It is better to jump from a great height and escape than to die. Apex Legends has no fall damage at all. Therefore, if you are suddenly pressed on some roof and you cannot fight back, then jump down and look for cover.
Don't ignore a melee attack. It deals 30 damage and pushes your opponent far back, which can disorient them a bit. It can also be used in a jump or slide, then it will have different animations. Not practical, but looks stylish. You can also attack doors, but you should be careful here, as two hits will smash it to smithereens.
Know all the abilities of the Legend you are playing as. It is important! Each character in the game has unique skills that help turn the tide of the game in their favor in a given situation! See what abilities the heroes have here
Always keep a few grenades with you. At first glance, grenades in Apex Legends are useless, but this is far from the case. They deal massive damage and help put pressure on an enemy squad that has taken up a good position. With one well-aimed throw, you can completely knock down the enemy's shields, or even smoke out of a safe shelter. Moreover, all grenades have different properties. The normal one not only deals damage, but also repels opponents with an explosive wave. An electromagnetic star is attached to the first surface (or body), and explodes with an electromagnetic pulse that concusses the enemy and completely nullifies his armor. Finally, a napalm grenade will help block an important passage or ruin the life of a sniper who has taken cover.
Don't steal from a dead partner. If one of the squad members is killed, grab his token, but do not touch his crate. Indeed, after the revival, he will return to the map practically in his shorts, and in order not to collect inventory again, it is much easier to accompany the resurrected to personal belongings and give it to him.
Learn to use your inventory wisely. The duffel bag in Apex Legends is far from endless, so it's best to get comfortable with its management right away. Always make sure that you have the right ammo and first aid kits. On the map, you can also find improved backpacks that expand the capacity of your inventory.
Share food with partners. If your partner is left without a shield and health, do not be greedy and give him first-aid kits. There is no place for egoists in Apex Legends, because without a partner (even a mediocre one) it will be much harder for you to finish the match. The same goes for unnecessary ammo or weapon upgrades. If you have an X8 sniper scope, then a fellow sniper will be delighted with such a gift.
Don't panic and don't rush. Games of the Battle Roayle genre primarily test not shooting skills, but endurance and composure. Seeing the enemy within a radius of 500 meters, it is better to just let them go further and overtake suddenly, than to start firing at him with almost zero chance of hitting. The same goes for narrowing the zone - you don't have to break headlong trying to get to a safe area, since she doesn't bite that hard in the first two rounds.
If you can't get on a high roof, then look for a nearby door. Open it, climb on it, and then it will be easier for you to get to the roof from it. This also works just for high walls - just jump on them and hold the jump button. Another hint - if you hold down the jump in front of the fence, but do not press forward, the character will seem to stick his head out from behind the cover. Thus, you can quickly peep what is happening behind the wall.
Don't ignore the supply pods that drop on the map. They contain valuable items: powerful first-aid kits, weapon upgrades, armor, and rare guns in the form of the Mastiff shotgun and the Kraber rifle. The first takes out all living things at close range, and the second is capable of blowing his head through any armor.
One of the heroes knows how to call these capsules. A girl named Lifeline can throw capsules onto the map with her ultimate. However, it has a huge cooldown, so this often fails. BUT! There is an item in the game that speeds up the preparation of the ultimate by 20% when using it. Therefore, if there is such a character in your squad, this item should always be given to him.
All heroes run at the same speed. Heavy Caustic and slender Wraith differ in physique, but run the same way.
When shooting, pay attention to flying numbers. If white, blue, purple or gold fly out, then the enemy is wearing armor of the corresponding level. If the numbers are red, then the armor is over. If yellow - you hit the head. If you knock down an enemy's armor during a firefight, you will hear the corresponding sound, reminiscent of a saucer landing on a tiled floor.
The color of the boxes matters too.. After killing the enemy, pay attention to the color of the chest with his equipment. If it is golden, then it contains a golden object. This will help you navigate the field faster and spend less time looting.
