So far the best battle royal game I've played. Altough I'm usually quite good in FPS games, it took me 2 weeks to finally win a game for the first time .... Btw what is your favourite landing location? I normally go for the Market or Skull Town.

I'm never jumpmaster bc I always miss the target but the Market, Artillery are my two best spots so far. I always do bad when landing the entire east airbase and whatnot. If you land airbase rush the parked planes inside is always one blue/purple shield and good guns.... forget the supply bins in this area....


I have taken a liking to the Wingman. It'll be nerfed soon though... it is a revolver but you can use a ext mag to increase it to 9 shots. It is 45 damage on body shots..... it is nuts...

Ha ha, last time I tried that I got a golden knockdown shield out of that drop ship and that turned out to be a game winner for us in the end (self revive). But in general, I got killed on the drop ship more times than I managed to get out alive...

it took me 5 days and 17 hours of playing to get my first kill man. Yesterday we had a team down to one guy and he downed us, I pushed too quick and missed a jump fell to the low ground and he grenaded my ass, my squad was down to 1 player and the guy that bsically carried us the whole round also fucked it up at the end and we lost.... we had it - I landed 3 hits on the guy -2 more and victory.....

I'm mid-30s very casual gamer, mostly play RTS and sports games...... but this was free to play and I saw some vids I said I'm getting on this shit.....

I also have a problem: I play on PC, not console. And this means I tried with KB/Mouse. But I have an issue with my right hand(I broke it when I was12 and even though it works for daily life for twitchy PC gaming it's just not fast/flexible on the pinky and ring finger and I can't move the mouse with my right hand I'm a lefty - just doesn't work. So I play with a gamepad makes it easier for me -

but you can imagine gamepadding on PC is always a losing venture - but I'm getting better.

I saw a streamer that only plays PC with gamepad and he kills it but obviously he's a full time gamer - but I'm gonna keep practicing I'm going to hang with the KB/Mouse guys on this game - it's doable..

I saw a video of a guy on console that has one arm he does it with his one arm and his toes (granted he's on console, console games have slight aim assist and everybody's on gamepads, PCs have no aim assist and very very few play with pads at a HUGE disadvantage) and he got a victory.... it's gonna happen... I can feel it.

Just change your controller setting make the vertical motion less sensitive and the horizontal motion more sensitive it helps alot you will get more headshots and be able to turn around faster. Also always play as a team if you have to rush in and die to save your teammate at least try it you won't win solo so keep your team alive at all costs!

in the beginning I always tried to track dudes who jumped up and down and I'm not good enough for that..... now I just turn sideways and wait for them to come down... still a disadvantage as they land 1-2 hits... but it's a technique thing..... I'll try the Y sensitivty thing out. It makes sense as you don't want to look up and down as quick as side to side....

I do the same thing if I can land the headshot it usually works out for me. Let me know if the sensitivity change helps you out

I did it... it did help with missing high and low... I still suck ballsacks though... i found a squad where everybody is kind of bad and wanting to improve....... tonight we're dropping to the high tier area every single drop to improve dammit....


yesterday we finally got a lobby where everybody felt noobish and I got into some fun gunfights.... I finally unlocked mirage and he's quickly becoming my favorite - I bamboozled the hell out of 2 teams and beat them after the squad was knocked down.... which a week ago there was no fucking way.....

the champion and I can imagine the top 5-6 squads were TTV someshit hardcore pros - so we didn't win or place super high... but it was fuuun...... finally... or maybe I'm just improving......

I'm still hoping ranked servers become a thing. out of my handful of friends that have been squadding up recently, almost 1/2 already got off the Apex Legends bandwagon.... they got bored with the tryhards destroying everybody each game...... Every game somebody with 1400-1500 kills kills our entire squad.... on Tuesday night we had a group of 12 guys that looked for squads joined a Discord server.... wednesday it was 12 again - everybody could squad up and play... it was fun......

tonight only 2 of us are planning to play... the rest went back to other games RTS's, COD, Fortnite.. but the rest are done with Apex... which sucks it's a great game...

just not fun for noobs at the moment....
