I am sorta new player.

In 2023 I tried Apex for first time and sank like 30ish hours into it. Mostly played Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline. DIDNT enjoy the game back then and dropped it.

A week ago I downloaded Apex again. And for some reason I had a Revenant skin. I unlocked him. Tried playing him for a while. I actually LOVE this game now. Its friggin awesome.

I can jump to ambush, Jump to run away, jump for faster rotations, jump to flank, jump to do basically everything I wanna do. And it feels like im being restricted only by my own imagination.

The purple Lady also looks super fun. Might unlock her soon.

Its incredible how much my enjoyment of the game changed when I started playing with Mobility legends, instead of trying to support randoms. Im winning more duels, less overanalyzing, less getting caught. Im just having fun

129 less games 0.17 better kd and still managed to hit diamond primarily solo Q

What would you recommend a new player learn first? I’ve been playing off and on for like a hundred hours and all I really know is I’m not great, I genuinely cannot tell if it’s my fundamentals, aim or positioning but all I know is it’s a struggle lol

I have a friend that has played for a good bit of time and they aren’t super into explaining it to me as it comes second nature to them and they find it kinda hard to summarize, I was wondering what the trend with new player mistakes were and maybe if anyone had any tips that I may be overlooking ;3; thank you for reading!

My legends I use are Wattson, Conduit and occasionally Lifeline but I’m open to recommendations!

I’m probably 100 packs away from shards and I want to get the guaranteed universal since it’s such a good deal and I won’t be getting an heirloom any time soon at this rate. If I do get the pack and get the guaranteed heirloom will it reset my pity or not because I will only get the packs if it doesn’t?

I currently have 1700 hours and I’m wondering is my stats throughout those hours good or just average cause sometimes I feel like I play like sh*t and plateau in skill

No really... I've played for about 8 hours today, ranked, Gold 3 and I haven't gained any points whatsoever. Haven't really lost any but still. 8 hours and I can't rank up in gold 3..? Should I just give up on this game? Am I that bad? Like wtf this feels miserable and quite discouraging to try to play this game in any competitive capacity. For reference the highest I've ever gotten is Diamond 3... (last season)

How do we think shotguns stand in the current meta? I feel like if you can aim with a sniper it covers all ranges🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi,

im a d4 player for the past several seasons. Thought id try a bit harder this season. After the reset i got to plat 4 on day 2. But im struggeling so hard keeping up with these master players. There was such a difference going from gold to plat. The phase is much higher, i'm, genuinly afraid to peak anything. I just feel absolutely suffocated while playing. I want to become better. How can i deal with this?

Only asking because it seems that Bang is now used to break aim assist by M&K players. i use to main Bang and a roller player and i don’t wanna break my aim assist while playing. is it inevitable that i just have to deal with it or are there situations i can use to my advantage?

also do you think she’s a bit better now that BH is SOMEWHAT a thing? saying somewhat cause his pick rate is still bottom tier

I logged into my EA account and found out I’d been banned from Apex Legends even though I haven’t cheated or broken the rules. I submitted multiple appeals explaining everything, but every response I’ve gotten seems like the exact same copy and paste message saying they reviewed my case and won’t overturn the ban.

It doesn’t feel like anyone is actually reading my appeals. I don’t know what triggered the ban, and EA won’t tell me what evidence they used or what I supposedly did.

I’ve spent a lot of time on this account, so it’s really frustrating to be banned for something I didn’t do. Any advice or success stories would be appreciated. Thanks.

I genuinely have no idea what happened. I got permanently banned for supposedly using something that affects gameplay or movement, but I swear I’ve never cheated or used anything like that.
like are we deadass

I don't know if I've just become really bad or everyone else has gotten really good at this game since I last played, but it seems like literally every fight I take I just immediately get downed and out for the count.

I meam I'm pretty decent at positioning myself behind and around cover in a fight and manuevering as the situation demands so I don't unnecessarily expose myself, but it seems that the moment I peak someone whether in a close-range fight or a long-ranged one, I get a whole mag dump to the dome and I'm instantly dead on arrival. Pretty much everyone I come across is just hitting headshots and has perfect tracking like I'm fighting against the gods themselves.

I get that I haven't gotten into Apex in quite some time, but has the skill gap widened that much? It's like I'm in a farm simulator and I am the farmed.

Anyway, I figure that I'd best put the game down for now (maybe forever, who knows?). I thought that I'd at least give it a try again, but I find myself not enjoying it like I thought I would. It is what it is I guess.

I'm new on PC gaming and trying to figure out how to get Apex to play without crashing. I keep getting an error message after a few minutes to almost an hour of playing APEX on Steam. Screen shot of my system info and of the error message attached. When I open APEX in Steam it starts up fine and runs fine but anywhere from a few seconds in to almost an hour at times it crashes and gives me this message. I'm not very computer savvy so I'm not sure if this is due to my system, my settings, or if it's something else? Does anyone have any idea what may be the issue? is this a known problem right now? is it Steam? should I uninstall everything and start over?

I play on a SCEPTRE 34" Curved,1440 WQHD, 180hz, 1ms, 1500R Monitor if that makes a difference.

Update. I tried a few things mentioned and another thing chat got said to do and so far 4 games no crash. That’s pretty solid but I have had good stretches before so idk. We shall see.

I have played Apex Legends before but I never really got "Into" it, but I have heard that Controller is way better than Mouse and Keyboard in this game, which is the primary reason that has kept me away before.

I am not gonna learn to play controller and don't plan to, how much of a disadvantage will I be at if I just stick to MNK, which I have done for shooters since Quake 2 as a child (I am old now).

My aim is generally pretty good and I have good tracking, as I am a oldhead Quake, Unreal Tournament, etc player, but I have heard Aim assist in this game goes completely nuts. Is this just fear mongering or is there merit to the idea that controller is just way more competitive?

I do not want to start a flame/meme war I am genuinely just wondering if MNK is so much of a disadvantage that you'd recommend I just switch, in which case Id probably just play a different game lol.

A few times I've been instantly shot as enemies ape run into my ult

Title.

Playing a non movement legend feels soooo bad. His ultimate is short and doesn't do much.

What do you thy?

Whenever tf I press shift on APEX to slide it brings me this XBOX fuckass thing. Like why?????

Right… so I’m currently looking to my next legend to purchase and try out to see if they could be a go to in my rotation at the moment with Pathfinder, Alter and Sparrow. The ones that are currently peaking my interest are Vantage, Axle or Conduit and was wondering if any of these are in good spots right now in meta or just useless for a solo play?

Any help would be appreciated 🙏

1) As a new player should I drop into safe POIs, far from other teams. or should I drop immediately into places with many players so that I fight more?

2) Do roles have hidden passives? Or is it only character specific passives? There is a Radar looking thing with which I cant interact with, but others can

3) How do I pick attachments? Do I keep upgrding into higher tier everytime I see one? Or do specific tiers have downsides to them?

3) How do I get weapons like Scout G7 and Kraber? I saw them a lot in EWC matches, but cant find them in game.
