An easy game entry doesn’t mean that it remains easy – Apex Legends proves that. Somehow, the shooter is trickier than expected. But with these tips, you can shoot your team to the top!

Despite certain patterns to follow, Apex Legends remains very dynamic and can vary greatly from game to game. This not only provides a lot of fun, but also demands a high degree of flexibility from the players. In order to act as effectively as possible, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

Training, training, training

Apex is a shooter – and that means (surprise!) that shooting is important. But shooting is not just shooting. If you think “it’ll be fine”, you’ll quickly be proven wrong here. Because it can take quite a bit of time to really get to know the individual weapons and their individual strengths. It’s not just about understanding the different ranges and firing patterns, but also tracking the adjustments. For example, the “Wingman” was more of a pistol-style sniper rifle in the early days of the game, but that quickly changed with updates. How good that the training mode is always there. But it’s not the only place where you can train your skills. Playing a few Apex matches in a row with the same weapon can help you get better.

Where to go? – The

 maps

– Season s 1 and 2 sent us to Kings Canyon, but with the start of – Season 3 we went to World’s Edge – and the map was also adapted in – Season 4. We are still on World’s Edge, but there are numerous changes to the game environment. But no matter which map it is, you should definitely know it well. Where do I have cover? Where is the next vantage point? Where can I loot and how much? All important questions – also for the other players. A detailed exploration of the map is worthwhile and will help you and your team to dominate the arena.

Pressure on the opponents

Team communication

As in many other online games, communication with the team is crucial in Apex Legends. So the motto is: chat, talk or ping for all it’s worth. But of course this doesn’t always work out. Especially when playing with strangers, opinions can clash that don’t fit together. Some don’t want to speak English, but their native language. Others are completely silent. And still others prefer to speak Flemish. The best way to avoid these difficulties is to form a team of friends or former teammates with whom you got along well. This way you create a group feeling that promises more success – and fun!

What is actually… “Apex Legends?

Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?

What is “Apex Legends” about?

Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.

• Genre: Battle Royale shooter
• Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.

At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.

To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.

Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.

Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.

Which technical terms should you know?

Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.

Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.

Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
