Seven fundamental tips to improve quickly and win at Apex Legends

For a few weeks, the creators of Fortnite have been somewhat worried; A competitor has come up to it. More vertical, even. Exactly, it is called Apex Legends, the new Respawn - parents of Call of Duty and Titanfall - that is driving crazy (for good) the lovers of battle royale, the fashion genre.

It is available completely free, for PC, PS4 and Xbox One and, although the mechanics are the same as in Fortnite, it is played in the first person. Apex LFG also offers us the possibility to choose between six characters, each with their abilities, as we would do in Overwatch. And we can even revive our teammates but ... do you know how to play? Do not worry if the answer is no, we will tell you the essentials for you to get to the experts' lane.

Never standstill

It seems obvious advice, but in Apex there are fewer players than in other battle royales ( 60 divided into 20 platoons of 3 people), also playing on a smaller map than usual. This means that the games tend to be much shorter and more frantic, so you have to learn to maneuver and move fast.

Speed ​​first

Apex offers us many options to make this possible. One of the coolest is the infinite ability to climb and climb. We can climb walls up to 4 times higher than us running towards it and keeping the jump button while looking up.

We can even apply a trick that PUBG lovers already know: open a door and climb on top of it. We can also slide everything we want on a slope; If we play well we can have a tremendous advantage. And all this with the peace of mind that there is no fall damage.

Another thing we can do to gain speed is to undo the active weapons when we are running. This way we will run faster and be able to jump or slide for a greater distance. It seems silly but it helps.

As always, landing is the key

Anyone who has played other Battle Royales knows that choosing the point where we fell long ago when it comes to survival. In Apex there are some points where it is known that looting is better ... so we will try to fall into them. The best areas are usually those on the outside of the map such as the Purifier, the Swamps or the Dome of Thunder. Remember that the areas surrounded in red are the best, the blue ones have medium quality and the green ones are the worst areas.

Communicate with your classmates

At the moment Apex does not give the option to play alone; We always do it in a trio. Whether we know our colleagues or not, maintaining good communication is key. If the topic of voice chat does not go with you, you can make yourself understood by pointing at objects, locations or enemies thanks to the game's dialing system.

Attentive to armor

As we said before, armor is a key element in any battle royale and, of course, also in Apex. Whenever we collect and armor, even if it is from an eliminated player, we will receive it fully charged. A detail that helps (and much). Above all, considering that surviving longer gives us more experience points than harming or even eliminating enemies.

Meet the heroes of Apex

The game offers us eight characters to choose from, but which one is the best? Knowing each one in depth would need an entire post, but there are certain keys to knowing them. Everyone has three skills, one tactic, one passive and one final (the last one). In addition, at the beginning you can choose between six; Mirage and Caustic are unlocked with 12,000 legend coins or 750 Apex.

One moment, and the configuration?

All this we have told you would not be worth anything without proper control settings. When you install it, Apex selects a preconfiguration regardless of the equipment you have ... however, being an online game where speed is key, we are still more interested in good performance than good textures.
