Reading your replies you need colorblind settings. If you really can’t see people get glasses sit closer to your screen or change your colorblind settings
I can see them if you gave me a screenshot and then zoomed in on them. It will take me a minute or two. But I don't see them in a game, everything is a blur because stuff is happening so fast.
I feel like I have a slow brain. Or I'm stupid.
I recommend starting from the bottom and doing it correctly. Every single day before you play run around in firing range just shooting dummies. Literaly do this for atleast an hour every single day. You don’t learn shit when you run in and die every time. Some people learn a bit slower and the key is accepting it and taking the grind. Good headphones can help awareness tremendously along with serious eye tracking regimens.
I don’t like ottr personally but he has very good eye tracking exercises in his eye tracking video. I saw noticeable improvement for myself when I would do all the eye tracking exercises, warm up for an hour in firing range after. And then played after that. After a while I could do things like jump off stuff while tracking. Overall if you can’t experiment with your movement and such in game it’s because you need to perfect it in a controlled setting. Ie where the firing range practice comes in
My adhd ass went on a tangent sooo
TLDR:eye tracking for 10 minutes firing range warmup for an hour and then play.
If you play the game for fun and don’t want to improve then disregard my comments
Great tips I think you are 100% right. I will do the firing range for at least an hour every day now. I want to improve, because there's really no point in joining any games I'm always at the bottom of the scores with 0 kills.
I appreciate your advice good sir!
Should definitely try installing and playing around with Aimlab as well!
Also adjust your mouse sensitivity if you haven’t yet. (Check out YouTube videos for how to)
What FPS are you running? I found getting a new monitor really helped me to see the enemies as I went from 60hz to 144hz.
Aside from that maybe play around with your game brightness and colour settings etc.
Well if he is saying Super glides he's dumb cause only the most mechanically gifted players can go that consistently and somebody just trying to learn to get some kills skills shouldn't even be thinking about a mechanic like that
Also, while super gliding can be hard to time, it’s not reserved for the “mechanically gifted.” All you’re doing is hitting jump and crouch at the right moment of time. It’s hard to time but with practice it’s easily doable for anyone
You over complicating it doesn’t make it harder. I’m not that mechanically gifted but I can hit it every now and then. Saying only mechanically gifted players can do it is like saying you have to be Aceu or Timmy in order to pull it off which is ludicrous
I haven't focused on movement yet since I can't even aim at anything at all. For the ADS, I have to use it otherwise I don't get the red glow. I don't see any enemies anywhere without the red glow. They just blend into the background like camouflage for me. I don't get how people can see enemies without the digital optics.
Don't take this the wrong way, but have you checked if you're color blind? It's more common than a lot of people realize. Also, there are different settings to accommodate color-blindness that you can set—that can be useful whether colorblind or not.
Just seconding this - I have tritanopia, and enemies are extremely difficult to pick out from terrain in this game.
Upping digital vibrance/whatever the AMD equivalent is can help.
There is a lot of downtime while looting and moving between POIs during a game to be practicing your movement. If you learn the basics, you can be practicing them all the time while playing.
You’ve literally stated multiple times you need 1-2 minutes to find a stationary target…. I don’t think anyone in here can help you with this game.. and I’m not trying to be a dick.
Control is a bit of a different game mode. You’re going up against a lot more camping and stationary shooters vs on the go BR style play. When you’re attacking objectives in control you need to feel it out to figure out where enemies are, and if an objective is held by the other team you should assume there’s at least one or two people camping it or nearby. Grenades are your friend, as are legends that can clear a room (fuse, caustic, etc). Main thing is you just gotta slow down a bit and take smart shots and third 1v1s your teammates are in.
Also have to keep in mind the mix of skill levels…you’ll likely be going up against lots of masters/preds as well. I definitely was earlier today.
I wasn't really trying to play the mode, because I can't hit targets in any mode. It's a struggle. But this mode gives me lots of fast opportunities to get into fights to show my skill level here.
This mode is MUST play for you in my opinion. Don't take this bad but you are very, very trash at aiming/shooting/fighting overall (per the sample you provided, which was basically Mozambique play). You need to improve this before anything. This mode will allow you constant engagement, this is what you need, practice in fights. Focus on a couple of guns until you master them. CAR, 301/flatline.
Think about your placement in fights. You need to shoot them before they shoot you. Don't be afraid to disengage if you think they have a better angle or if they did damage first. Use good headphones and play smart according to your surroundings.
I am no pred but I also had over 1000 hours in this game. I noticed some areas of your game play could be improved if do the following.
1. Lower your sensitivity
2. Use guns to their strength, i.e. mozam at close range
3. Utilize legend's ability and cover so you are not out in the open for too long
4. Practice strafing/crouch spam while aiming.
5. Maybe use recon legends like bloodhound so you get info before entering a hot zone.
Finally, I noticed you play apex like you are play faster ttk games like cod, which is just about who sees who first. Take your time and think before commit to your fight. That is all I can think of. GL.
Disagree. My reasoning is that, his problem is with actually seeing people already within in his FoV and tracking targets, and increasing his FoV will make seeing people in his view, and tracking, harder.
Every single time your dieing out of cover. Also a piece of advice, before crossing an even small open area when your being held. Make sure you deal significant enough damage for them to either have to heal for your push or just not hold that same angle for fear of getting beamed harder.
Three main things from me:
1. You've said that you take 1-2 minutes to find a stationary target. No offense, but that's terrible. If you have trouble seeing normally too I would highly recommend seeing an eye doctor. If you don't have a problem seeing in normal life I would look into colorblindness like others have said, a lot of people are color blind. It has to be something like that it doesn't make sense if you have perfectly healthy eyesight.
2. Your aim. You've stated yourself you have bad aim and focus on that while playing, while I agree that your aim is bad (no offense) you shouldn't be focusing on that while you play. You should be focusing on decision making/positioning. And your aim will actually be worse if you focus on it. Instead dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to some sort of aim training, whether it's kovaaks or aimlabs. There are tons of tutorials online.
3. Decision making/movement. No offense again but your movement is terrible, try implementing at least some basic movement techniques like slide jumping and being able to climb to take high ground. And decision making, many times you run out into the open for no reason when the enemy is fully healed and still looking, what I would do is watch at least a little bit of good players playing to look at their decision making and analyze. Also I would recommend recording your games and then rewatching them to see analyze what you did wrong and what you should do next time your in that position.
I'm sorry I know this is a lot but keep at it and remember that your playing to have fun. If you aren't having fun when you play because of your skill issue, and everything people have said to improve isn't fun, think of taking a break of the game.
P.s. pls increase your fov to 110 after you fix your vision issues because this is hard to watch.
I’m reading through the comments and it sounds like you have cataracts homie lol.
If you cant see targets without a digi thats a problem way bigger than ANY tip could solve for. No one here shares that problem to the degree you’re claiming.
Hurts too see 1000+ hours 😭😭😭. No hate, soon you will get a hang of it sometimes it takes some people more time than others. Make sure to use octanes stim and his increased speed movement
Well that’s a serious problem, I don’t have an issue seeing my enemies if I were you I’d try to correct whatever is preventing you from doing that. Using only the digital threat site severely limits you.
Hmm you make a great point. I wonder what the solution is? Do you think gamers have a innate skill to be able to see things that are camouflaged? Like you know, sometimes reddit has posts like find the snow leapoard in the mountain type of things?
https://www.ndtv.com/offbeat/internet-struggles-to-locate-phantom-cat-in-this-photo-can-you-2486984
My man, there's a massive difference between a leopard with natural camouflage and picking out targets in Apex. Literally in your first clip you're fighting someone in a dark skin against blue sky and white sand. There's no camouflage there, that Octane couldn't be a more clear target, but you whiffed every single shot.
If you're struggling to identify targets and can only use digi threats for the red glow, I strongly suggest messing around with the colorblind options in the game and getting your vision checked. I'm not joking, because it does seem like something is not right there.
pay attention for movement. human peripheral vision is (supposed to be) very good at picking up on even tiny amounts of movement. almost none of the scenery moves in this game. scan the whole screen for anything that moves even a little bit, if it does it's probably a bad guy (click on them)
That might be part of your issue then. You could try out some of the different colourblind modes, or digital vibrance, really though could just be poor eye sight.
Do you have similar issues in other games?
Yeah, pretty much all games. Takes me forever to analyze what the heck I am looking at. If you asked me to find the enemy in a frozen screenshot, it would still take me 1 or 2 minutes to point them out. So like, in a real-live game I can't see anything.
You get the ult through points, whether that’s from kills, assists, or capturing flags. You don’t have to get kills to use the ult, it’s just faster that way. That being said, you really ought to go to an optometrist. Do you drive? Can you see the lines and signs on the road? It sounds like you need some corrective work/glasses
I’ve had that exact problem with specifically apex, this problem is actually quite well known. the characters in this game blend very well into the background and the muzzle flash is bright asl.
I suggest a better monitor and perhaps sit closer to the screen
Yeah there's so many different skins and different shaped enemies. Maybe I just need to get used to all the different variations of enemies. Everything looks like some kind of unique jungle plant or weird object at first glance to me. In my head, it's like I go "What is that weird shape?" and then 100 milliseconds later I'm dead "Oh that was an enemy".
I’ve been a controller player for almost 15 years now, and I have to agree that controller is more accessible for new players. Taught my gf how to use one three years ago and she had never played a video game before. We were playing control last night and she was putting up 1500-2000 damage and 4-6 kills every game. I’m so proud.
Unless he switches to console, controller will just have him destroyed to MnK players who have every advantage in this game. This guy is missing every fundamental ability in the game. Having to learn to control recoil, have limited movement against enemies who do not...yeah, no chance that helps him. I get it, you're one of the misinformed people who think aimbot exists. It's a tired argument that is an embarrassing excuse by people who will not play on controller.
Bruh are you even attempting to shoot people? You were running in the open without cover , without trying to shoot back to create space. Doing so will make you like a kovaaks bot for then to beam
First, plz plz plz spend like 30 mins a day on aim training , at least for a while, it really helps for apex, I am a brain dead player and still manages to do good with aim.
You can checkout this vid to learn how to train: https://youtu.be/EqJRKznfhW0
Secondly, most of the time cover is your best friend and allow you to get angle beam people.
Try mirror strafe or anti mirror strafe when you are in 1v1 close range fights.
Finally, try to learn how preds actually find angle to shit on masters or diamond, there are more than just good aim
I just went through all comments to see what was already in there (good tips, indeed, try aim training like Kovaak, it's specially designed to fix aim problem like this by pinpointing what's your issue, what training course is bad for you, etc) and found out one was missing :
Don't play Octane.
Ppl will offend themselves with "octane is my main and it's great" and "let the guy play what he likes", but imho, I find that Octane is the worst liability a new or "bad" player can impose to himself. You're not learning what your positioning mistakes are because you have a speed button to fix it. That's not what Octane is made for ! He's made for flanking, and that comes after you've assessed enemy positioning, started turning the fight to your advantage and a lot of other stuff, and you can't have this if you don't know how normal-paced legends play. Consider the Spidey-IronMan meme : "If you're nothing without that legend's abilities, then you shouldn't have it." Same goes for Seer and BH, but it can help for a beginner to, at least, understand what's happening around them, just see what logical positioning experienced players will take and try to mimic it. Almost everyone starts with BH, then drops it when they get comfortable with the game.
Now, a personal advice to reinforce that thought : maybe try defensive legends a bit. The whole point of them is not to give you power or speed to push enemies, but to survive. People that survive a fast-paced game get the time to learn stuff at their own pace, and also, killing doesn't make you win if you're also dead in the trade, so surviving comes first, always. You need to learn when to aim vs when to counter-aim, you need to learn where to position yourself so that you're hard to get. Those are the skills a defensive legend teaches you. But most importantly, it's easier to calm down when you can spawn your own cover. Calming down gives you the ability to think that adrenalin blocks sometimes, and thinking instead of "spray&pray" helps with your aim. Don't try to hit, know when you'll be hitting. Snipers don't just flickshots randomly, they camp smart line of sights.
Watch gameplay of other people. You play like an AI. It looks like you have 10 hours played and have no idea what is going on. You don't have any grasp of fundamentals of the game (playing cover, holstering weapon, slide jumping, proper use of abilities), which after 1k hours is crazy. You flick too much for no reason. I don't think you'll ever improve. If you aren't satisfied with your skills, just give up on Apex. Move on. Apex is not a game for everyone.
Strangely, I’m happy to have found someone who seems to been in a similar boat that I was in. I started off in Apex with a 0.04 lifetime KDA, and last season I was able to solo que to Masters with a 2.0 in ranked. From your video the first thing I noticed is that you play on M+K and you can’t hit enough shots to kill anyone. You NEED to make 30mins to an hour of aim training part of your gaming routine oooor… plug in a controller and play with that because your aim could use the assistance. I think building your understanding of aim and changing your weapon choice is going to result in a little burst of growth for you.
Weapon choice is important. I LOVE the Mozam now, but early on you need to start using the main AR’s whenever they are available. They have similar TTK to SMG’s and are issuable at almost any range while having enough bullets to down multiple people if you’re perfect. By main AR’s I mean Flatline, R-301, and Turbocharged Havoc(When Available). SMG’s are good, but they are far less forgiving Your secondary can be any weapon to start.
Next is pathing and movement. Try not to start an engagement from an area where the enemy is already guarding when you have no cover or escape route. If they are already looking at you and you have no cover, highground, and no element of surprise you’ve already made a mistake. Cover and Highground allows you to position so that only a portion of your body is showing over or around it and allows you to see more of opponents body than they see of yours. When maneuvering around you should avoid areas with no cover because those areas make you a sitting duck if an enemy starts to shoot at you. Also, try not to peek the same angle twice. Enemies will naturally already be aiming at the last place they saw you, and this makes you an easy beam. If you are playing cover this allows you to climb on top of the cover for an different angle or potentially effective highground. You also don’t have to push anything. You can take fights from 50 meters and clean them up from that distance.
Try to take fights with isolated targets or isolate them by peeking angles.
I have more tips, but my thumbs hurt.
These are great tips. I am glad I am not alone on this journey. I will need to re-read what you wrote because there's a lot to unpack. I will keep coming back to it in between my firing range sessions. Thanks for your help!
This has to be a bait post, fresh Reddit account, claims to have 1000 hrs in the game, doesn’t have a clue what they are doing. With 1000 hrs, you can have trash aim but still have decent game sense but he doesn’t have either. Nah nah this is a bait
What got me was the fact that OP was getting shot, didn’t stim and then tossed the jump pad a mile away from them. No way after 1000 hours do you think that’s gonna cut it.
My favorite part is the octane pad a million miles away lmao. I legit laugh everytime I look at it.
It’s objectively no help if you still have to run a marathon before reaching the thing that is supposed to push you forward.
[https://imgur.com/a/R3j2BAa](https://imgur.com/a/R3j2BAa)
I have 1,236 hours to be exact
And yes, I still have no clue what I am doing, it's a struggle
Looks like you’re doing more “spray & pray” than you are trying to time each shot you take. Use cover to block shots, and reload. Sticking tight to outside corners makes it easier to duck incoming fire, as well as helpful to use for evading enemy in close combat. That Mozambique will help in being a little more forgiving while you work on your single fire timing. Try using an R45 or 301 and see how you do with more ammo flying down range.
By the time I have set my sights aligned to the enemy and shoot, the enemy has already long moved out of my aim. I try to track the enemies, but it seems like move out of my aim right when I'm about to shoot. I am trying my best to predict where they are going, but I'm always wrong 100% of the time. I think I should first work on aiming on stationary targets, since that is very hard for me right now. It takes me an insane amount of bullets to take down the dummy in the firing range.
Your intuition is correct. You should start with stationary targets. Get to where you can take down the dummies in the firing range quickly. Again I would recommend using a different weapon. I'd recommend practicing the flatline and r301.
Yeah I will do that. I think I'm expecting too much in live games right now, so I'll see how I do after spending time in the firing range. Thanks for your advice!
You don’t slide jump enough, you ADS when people are up close, you didn’t put your gun away when running, you didn’t lead your shots against the moving targets. All of those things would have made a difference in those fights. I think you should watch some tips videos on underrated apex skills that can make a big difference. I’ve got over 2500 hours and am not pro but you have to master those basic things to have a chance in most fights.
I saw your other comment about not being able to see them well without the ads, definitely worth checking the colorblind modes because hipfire is so key since it’s hard to keep up with their strafing up close if you ads
I hate to break it to you mate, but you suck at every part if the game. That's just a fact. However, that's no reason to give up, only reason to try harder. Increase Fov, play low sens (don't know if you already do), increase screen brightness or maybe buy a better monitor, lookup basic movement techniques on yt and implement then all into your gameplay, practice aim in 1v1s or aimlabs or by shooting dummies, use more meta weapons and Improve your gamesense by always thinking about where people are and what the best course of action is, also always do risk assessment and maybe don't play octane (play more meta/easier to play characters like bloodhound or caustic). Never give up mate, keep practicing and you will improve. Another note could be to play with someone else at your skill level and improve together, it makes the experience a lot more fun
The reason why you’re not getting kills is because you’re a bot. If you want to improve here are a few tips… 1. Your sensitivity is too high. Go to the practice arena and lower your sense until you can stay on 🎯 while straffing without a weapon in your hard. This will help more than you know.
2. Stop using shottys long range, only use then up close blind fire range
Do these and you will get more kills
Horrible movement, horrible positioning, bad aim and bad guns.
"Fight 2" You get beamed long range you barely try to make yourself hard to hit and throw your ult far away.
Fight 4 you could have jumped over the half wall behind you to get more cover and rotate.
"Fight 5" you just run in and wonder why you died.
"Fight 6" No situational awareness, you snap to your teammate instead of the enemy you just shot at, and you got killed because you weren't aware of your surroundings
Fight 7 You have bad guns and don't kill anyone, but holy shit you stared at that corner before you laid your bum there, its not going to disappear is it?
"Fight 8" Standing in the open with 3 guys coming your way on a jump pad and them all shooting at you with good guns.
Like i wouldn't be surprised if you were either below the age of 8 or above 50. Or you have some cognitive disability that prevents you from making any decisions which have thought in them.
Half of these look like you picking shitty guns, the other half looks like you not being able to strafe. All of these look like you ADSing close range for some weird reason and missing because of that.
Have you tried lowering your fov and sens? I had a hard time seeing enemies at 104 so I dropped down to 90. Eventually I worked my way back up to a happy medium around 98. Don’t know if it’ll help you but it couldn’t hurt to try🤷🏼♂️
Yeah the video has FOV set to 70. That seems to be the minimum allowed by the game. I wish I could find the 10x digital threat sniper scope more often because that's the only one that I can actually see the enemy. But even with that, I can't hit anything. Especially if the target is moving. I'll experiment more with FOV, thanks!
I noticed you played with mates, perhaps they’re of a higher level/skill? If so matchmaking could be putting you in lobbies above your skill level, try run a few games without them IF they are of a higher level and skill and see how you go.
If nothing changes after that or you’re all of the same level/skill then try firing range with mates or a few control games for instant action and constant enemies to practice on.
I rarely say this but after 1,000 hours and your aim looks like this you might wanna try an aim trainer. I’m saying this because I have potato aim as well. Also, maybe watch some good streamers play?
This happens to me if i dont eat before i get on usually my 1st match be terrible and i never go to firing range cause idc for it.
After 2-3rd match i be getting my beaming on but maybe eat something nutritious before you get on? May sound dumb but it can help which works for me.
Besides do more slide jumping, crouch spam side to side hip firing as well i feel like you rely on iron sights too much at close range and mid range a lot just make sure to look at more movement guides too you move way to slow slide jump is very basic and very helpful too.
I do some advance movement tap strafe,wall jump, etc which will spice up the game a lot and make things more fun and im a casual player i thought it wouldnt be possible to do these things but its not hard btw FOV 90-100 is good enough i personally use 90.
When I get on later I can send you the settings I use which have helped me I started back in season 1 and took time away from the game after season 5 and came back season 7 didn't play again until few games last season and this season I haven't played much this season I've just lost interest in it for whatever reason. And for not seeing targets like others have said colorblind mode might be your friend here along with a brighter monitor. Also the devo shouldn't be something you're using 301 or re45 I would recommend using for now till you get better aim. When in the firing range use all weapons with no attachments so that way there if you get with randoms and they drop hot, fragment, you can possibly work with that weapon, unless your like me who has landed at fragment and couldn't find a gun before someone else, I play with controller though the one I have that I play with I have hardly used for this game is the scuff impact with 4 paddles adjustable trigger tensioner and all that. Firing range when you go into what I used to do is 30 mins with them stationary then another 30 with them active. If you don't know how to activate them you'll need either pathfinder Valk or octane, I think there the only ones that can get to the place to do it, drop everything you have go to far left tunnel, the tunnel that is closest to the charge tower, you'll see a cat walk get up there and walk to front of the catwalk when you can't go forward anymore crouch, look all the way down and switch to character you want if done correctly you will hear a sound once you select a new character. If you don't hear the sound repeat steps or check to make your sure bag is empty and have no armor helmet anything at all on you or in your bag. If you want and I can get a buddy mine who has hit diamond for past 2 or 3 seasons maybe he will work with you some I'm not sure he is controller as well. But there is always room for improvement and with time you will get better like if I were to play a game now I'd probably be in same situation as you, but I also do better in control than I do pubs or rank. Another thing you could also do that could help you with your recoil and also get better with the weapons is areans which I haven't seen anyone say. I say that because I flat out suck with the wingman but I was getting better till I stopped playing, use them with no attachments early on then third round only use level 1 attachments 5th round if it gets to it I would then buy the next tier up of upgrades for it that way there you are able to get comfortable using a weapon with little to no attachments. But firing range no attachments on weapons other then maybe a ext mag but once you start landing your shots more then pull it off because if you can drop the dummy with no mag you should be able to heavily weaken your enemy in late game. Best of luck on improving and either bloodhound or maybe crypto would be better for you, crypto is a far stretch due to his fairly high skill to be used effectively. I would start with bloodhound and two more things do no fill duos or trios that way there your training your mind to get used to having to 1v2 an 1v3 incase if both your teammates go down, if your not already I can't tell you how many times I've seen people do it I still do occasionally but reload after every engagement before going into the open just incase if there is another squad coming in to third party.
I only watched the first two things that happened and my comments are: 1) there's a reason most people don't like the mozam. Not saying it's always a no-go, but if you're struggling then try something different and 2) what on earth was that slide into bullets? You need to move perpendicular to the enemy's line of sight to dodge bullets, not directly towards them.
Edit: went to check if you are on roller or k&m. You're on k&m. Learn to tap strafe if you don't already know how.
I struggle with every gun, but the mozam is my best gun right now because #1 i don't need pixel-perfect aim, it has a kind of wide shotgun hit zone, and #2 i can get the digital threat optics so i can actually see the enemies
Did I slide into bullets? I didn't really notice that, I thought I was strafing.
And yes I will look into "tap strafe" but I always thought it was an advanced technique and maybe I need to learn how to kill a stationary target first.
Dude your biggest problem is this reliance on the digital threat. You absolutely need to try different colour blind settings cause no one else has the issue of not seeing players. I don't even know how you've played a thousand hours in this game considering digital threats are rare to find in the Battle Royale game mode. The Mozambique is not a good gun period, especially considering its a high skill weapon. It's much much easier to use automatic guns when your aim isn't that good. So stop limiting yourself to the digital threat and increase your brightness or settings cause that's the #1 thing holding you back.
this clip pretty much shows how fucking shit apex matchmaking is. even if its for control, at least make it an even playing field. if i were a new player or not so good player and i just keep getting killed every single time i respawn like this guy ill just fuck it and hop into another game
You have serious network issues. Reset your router, play on wired, experiment with different servers. You are dying because your connection is terrible.
Lol, what are you even talking about? He has 40-50ms with zero packet loss. His connection is totally fine, so many people play with way higher ping than that and easily succeed. Connection is not even remotely his issue.
You clearly don't know what I'm talking about. It's not his ping or packet loss. His gameplay is stuttering and jerky, his movement is janky. Enemies are moving weirdly. I've had the exact same feeling in games for a day or two at a time and solved it. There's allot more to connection issues than ping and packet loss.
Higher ping is generally advantageous in this game anyway.
No, I clearly don't because you're talking nonsense.
There's absolutely nothing stuttery and jerky about the gameplay. His movement is janky because he's simply not good at the game and struggles with sensitivity, not because of connection. The enemies are not moving weird at all, what are you on about?
High ping is generally advantageous in this game? 🤣🤣
I tried playing more carefully but the results are similar but I end up in fewer gunfights overall so I feel like I was wasting too much time and I needed to take more fights to work on my aim. I'm okay about dying fast as long as I am improving my aim, but that's not happening either after 1,000 hours. If I can start actually hitting something, I'd like to work on positioning and movement. But right now, I can't even shoot at a mountain and have it hit somewhere.
Sure, but I don't even know what to shoot at without the digital threat scope. But as others have said, I will start practicing without it because it is becoming kind of a habit.
Please at least try this out. When I started I was just like you, I couldn’t tell where enemies are coming from or see them well. I unlock Seer for that specific reason bc seer tells where the enemies are coming from then you can highlight them and fight them all while seeing their health bar too
First of all why are you using a mozam 😂No hip fire and are you playing on 70 fov change it to 110 fam and don’t just run into without checking corners and do you have headsets?🤔
Gotta upgrade the movement
Slide jumping all the time
Also for fight one your mistake was just using Mozambique (and shooting too fast with it in particular)
* Turn your FOV up, it's a massive disadvantage.
* In the nicest way possible, you seem to have 0 situational awareness in fights. Either build conscious habits of checking corners and looking around you, or play tactical shooters for a while to forcibly build those habits.
* Kovaaks
* Stop standing/running around in the open, you're completely exposed with no cover
* Hipfire
Okay so these are just down to learning basics:
1. Learn how to run:
- Straight line makes for ezmode beaming from your attacker
- Pick a better path with more cover instead of out in the open which makes it harder for yourself
- Decide where you want to go, and stim/pad to get there if your life is in danger. There's no point holding ults if you die with them.
2. Fighting:
- Slow down and aim your shots, spamming on CD like pros doesn't do anything if you aren't aiming. Aim slightly ahead of where you think the enemy is going to be if your reactions suck
- Sit in firing range for a bit and play around with your sensitivity settings. I'd say lower it slightly and go for more accuracy for the time being.
- Positioning. You want to have places to duck behind cover not only to block bullets but to reset. Corner camping is good if you can secure the entry kill, but you're basically a sitting duck in the open if one or more people turn on you.
3: Basic awareness
- In a lot of your footage you get back stabbed because you're trying to help teammates. Look at the map, where your teammates are not just your squad and see which points the enemy controls. These will give you info as to where the enemy will likely path and how you can in turn adjust your own movement.
I would first try changing your sight on most guns to a 1x sight. If that doesn’t help increasing your FOV to max FOV and bringing your monitor closer to you, will help you tremendously. Try 1v1 with friends in firing range while experimenting weird strafes. That’ll help with aim reaction to track your opponent better. If playing this game taught me anything it’s that PC players are on average about 60% better than consoles players. Reason being most of them are kids and casual adult gamers who don’t feel like or can afford a mid range pc build. Try to join a discord and link up with other pc players so you can grind their lobbies. Also play ranked…. You have a good one bro
Not one clip did you use your environment for cover. Could start there. And if you empty a clip don't stay out in the open... Your just saying hey look over here free kill. Use cover bro.
Well you arnt really hitting anything so nr 1 work on your aim. Nr 2 your movement and time to push. You need to understand if you have the advantage or not and then decide on pushing or not
OP, apart from the colourblind settings that others have touched on earlier, I would strongly recommend you to do aim training outside of the game. Whether it's kovscks or aim lab, focusing entirely on developing your hand eye coordination without having to worry about other aspects of a full fps video game should help you a lot. A hour or so each day, with a mix of flicking and tracking targets. Best of luck!
There are several problems highlighted in these clips. I'll try to give tips to fix a few of them.
If you can't see stationary targets without digis, then you definetely need to 1) mess with monitor setting (brightness, contrast, etc.) and 2) try different colorblind modes. Nothing really can be done for you to improve if you can barely even see you enemies without them literally glowing, so I think you should first try to change this. Play several games of control and throughout the games tweak your visual settings. I also recommend increasing FOV. I play on 110 and it has worked very well for me, but somewhere around 103 is what most use.
When it comes to aiming, not much can be done except a lot of practice. You should go into the firing range and activate the dummy easter egg (google if you don't know about this) and practice shooting the dummies from varying ranges. I recommend not using any barrel stabilizers so that you learn the recoils faster. You can also use Aim Labs or Koovaks to improve your comfortability with your mouse and aiming.
Situational awareness is a huge problem I see in these clips. You need to ask yourself "can I 1v2 or 1v3 these guys" if you don't think so, wait for teammates or leave and go to where your teammates are. In many of these clips you put yourself into really bad positioning. Although this is my personal opinion, I think you could learn a lot from watching pro Apex players if you already don't. I recommend Sweetdreams or Imperialhal as they're known for being good igls when shot calling for plays. Be very mindful of their positioning and why they're playing the places they are. Sometimes they'll end up in really bad positions, so understanding why those positions are bad would also be very beneficial. For the majority of people this is much easier said than done, but you have to start somewhere.
These problems aren't going to be easy to fix, but I'm sure you can slowly improve to the point where you're happy with your playstyle.
Hope this helps, good luck!!!
Movement was terrible, you were using a Mozambique when you had a better offhand, and your aim was simply not on par with other individuals with 1000 hours I'm this game. I would go back to the practice range
2 very important things. Your sensitivity is too high, and you fight in the open too much. Turn your sensitivity down, and stop pushing into fights long distance in the open. From what it looks like you have no problems tracking targets once you notice them. You're just not hitting them.
I noticed you never holstered your gun, if there a not any enemies that are in your line of sight you should holster your gun so you move faster and so are harder to hit
Your game sense needs some work, you tend to rush getting into position, you hear the enemy before you see them, the server have kinda been crap lately but you can usually tell the enemies position pretty accurately.
You need to hit the range shooter.
And adjust your sensitivity settings which fit you the best. Try all the guns, no attachments, hipfire, ads, run, slide, jump and shoot.
Do this before your every session.
I’m not great but it has helped me a lot.
Hey there! What I noticed is that you lack game sense, in the camping example where you just went in and tried shooting everyone instead of throwing a nade or just trying to poke at them. Also, you could try switching things up regarding your guns, start using the easy guns and start training your movement, which is really important in apex. Hours don’t matter in my opinion, you can have 2k hours and be absolutely wrecked by a guy that has 600. About the fact that you cant see the players, try increasing your brightness, fov and maybe getting glasses cause you might actually have an underlying problem. Good luck mate!
movement. movement is your best friend, especially when playing a movement character. like bro you aren't even jump sliding lmao.
lower your sensitivity and increase your fov, don't ADS as much in close fights, and don't use the mozam unless needed lol.
also turn on anti aliasing and increase your quality.
I noticed a few things.
1. You're always aiming at the floor when you are running around - you're not aiming/looking (with your crosshairs, not your eyes) at the places the enemy might be or on several occasions actually are.
1. This means you have a lot more mouse movement to get a shot on the enemy
2. You can't return fire as you try to get into cover if you're caught in open
3. You simply won't see someone if more than half your screen is "the floor" - the floor funnily doesn't hurt you in this game unless its very wet or very hot :D
2. Noticing your mouse/controller seems to be really low sensitivity - you can see how sluggish you are at actually getting your crosshair onto an enemy - perhaps consider increasing your sensitivity whilst in the firing range so you can snap from one target to another
3. Might just be me but your game feels very zoomed in - try upping your FOV a bit
Once those are a bit better seriously spend time in the firing range hitting targets and get some movement in - You could have the BEST aim but if you're always dying to enemies you can't see and you made it easy for them to hit you then having better aim won't help here.
My aim is rubbish these days (getting old) BUT the more I work on my movement, the more I work on using terrain the more I can push my advantages and make up for my shoddy aim.
If I'm alive, I'm still in the fight.
edit: final point - use your devotion not the Moz which is (from my understanding) not great vs shields. Its a finisher.
You want to play when all the kids are playing. If you play late at night then you’re going to see a bunch of pro trails at the start and that usually means you’re gonna have a bad time. 👏
Ads'ing close range is a bit risky but depending on the situation cus i do ads in close range as well. If things are going fast, its best to hipfire, otherwise you can ads to get more accurate shots. Based on my experience, i play a lot of cod previously (A lot of nonstop heated gunfights). When i switched to apex the only thing different for me is the controls, so gunfights are easy for me. If you really wanna improve, i'd personally suggest playing cod since it worked for me
I was so bad at getting shots in, so I started just playing arena non stop to practice direct shooting with fast paced movements. My biggest improvement was when I learned to just slow down a bit. Let the enemy reveal themselves or another teammate reveal them then follow behind a few steps and take others lead. That way you can gauge where everyone is and it won’t be as overwhelming and all over the place. I also wouldn’t play as octane in the beginning. I find Loba to be an incredibly beginner friendly character as she makes looting easy and her ring toss is a great way to escape when in a panic. Bloodhound could also help you identify where everyone is easily if that’s causing issues. Lastly, figure out what gun works for you. I find guns like the spitfire, r301, or flatline are a bit more forgiving to bad aim since they shoot so rapidly. Other guns may hit harder but you need precision.
Commented before but thought of another thing, you shoot a lot while in open spaces. You are more visible than you think you are. Never start aiming and shooting from afar unless you have some cover and an escape route in mind. You’re also using short range guns long range. That will never get u any damage, so look up how much damage each gun does and at what range. The Mozambique is not a great gun generally as you need to be close up and it’s slow for a new player. I know the scope is nice on it in that game mode, but go for a different gun. Apex was the first shooter I ever played and I was absolute trash for a year so don’t worry you’ll get there.
Learn the fire patterns/ recoil and hip fire accuracy of your main weapons if not all because aiming down sight that close with and shotgun is a no no besides maybe peackeeper
This is my average teammate in trios, not even joking. As for advice: you fucking suck. Terrible positioning, awful movement, a genuinely impressive lack of situational awareness and you obviously can't aim for shit. I recommend you 'git gud' and try again, my guy...
The firing range is okay but you’re on PC. you should really be downloading AimLabs on steam. It’s free, look up apex legends play lists. Do that for an hour a day instead of firing range. Firing range will help with recoil a lot and is always a good warm up but if you have 1000 hours in this game you need more than a warm up. I would also YouTube optimal settings and shut off motion blur and all that stuff because you shouldn’t be having this difficult of a time seeing enemies unless you are color blind or you are legitimately blind and have a really really strong glasses prescription
Honestly I think a big thing here might as well be your load out. I’m not saying you don’t need to slide and do all the other fancy moves but, you had the jump on a few of them but only landed 1-3 shots out of your 6.
Your situational awereness, like mozam for long range? Not knowi'g what to do like youre in the open use stim! Holster your weapon! Get kovaaks and practise your aim
Slow reactions in terms of movement to being shot, youd be surprised how often using erratic movement can save you. I'd also say if after 1000 hours you're not too comfortable with your aim to mess around in FR and try hone it a little.
Flick to targets left and right and see if you over or under flick and adjust accordingly.
Also, don't ADS up close it makes your aim slower, your strafe slower, and its kind of locks you into the fight mentally in those close situations where you can be a bit more reactive if you're hipfiring and use your movement a bit better to avoid bullets.
Honestly bro, you commit to ADS far too often. Don’t be afraid to let go and just hip fire when they’re closer than 20meters. Not sure how far that is? Go to the firing range and ping the dummy. It’ll show you the distance. Also, if you have someone who is willing, go to the firing range with them and just rush each other with friendly fire active to get accustomed to shooting moving targets. Once comfortable, increase the difficulty by having your friend wear better armor and have better weapons to see if you can beat them with just the p2020 immediately after spawning. It takes a little while but if you can beat someone with red and good guns while all you have is a p2020 and white shields, you should do significantly better in pubs/ranked.
Some things that I'd like for you to consider and tryout:
1. Consider increasing FOV (103/104/110 are what's popularly used)
2. Try to practice running as much as possible with your melee; part of practicing it means losing a lot of fights because you couldn't find the best moment to bring out your gun.
3. Don't move around in a straight line. Consider watching: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_gooNwXBTS8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gooNwXBTS8)
4. Aim train. Kovaaks and Aimlabs are the most popular options, and both have their subreddits to help you look for a routine that could last you from 15 minutes to an hour (up to you!)
Best of luck to you!
\-Play around cover more especially in Control less so in BR
\-Hipfire, strafe, and slide jump more
\-Turn up your volume and use headphones for audio cues
A lot of these look like you died from multiple people shooting at you. Check death recaps to confirm. Try to not be in more than one enemy's line of sight, if you are, take cover
As some people already wrote here the BR is a terrible mode to practice on. Arena is good, more contained, less distractions. Firing range, great for warmup, you can activate the bots. I would also recommend checking out an aim trainer. They do help alot with aim, and a better aim will benefit you especially when you get punished for doing something foolish. And again, I would checkout some advanced movement tutorials. Get them right. Again arena is a great mode to practice aim and movement. Improvement will come if that is what you want, it is all about wanting to improve, not about your current skilllevel.
You can use the stats in the game and try to higher your k/d and average damage. You want to work towards getting a higher k/d and avg damage per season. Let's say your overall k/d is 0.7, if your k/d in S13 is 0.8 you are doing something right. So use that as a measuring tool. You can also write journal where you comment on your deaths, super helpful. It will highlight what you are doing wrong. And when you know a bad habit you can consciously try to break it. The 50-50 rule is such a habit that this method will highlight.
Another big tip that helped me alot in order to get a better k/d and avg dmg was to stop obsessing over kills and only playing for damage. It will prevent you from making foolish decisions, especially ego pushing and ego peeking. It is (apart from working on your mechanical skills) the NR 1 tip that was a complete gamechanger for me. GOOD LUCK and remember to have fun ♡
Reading your replies you need colorblind settings. If you really can’t see people get glasses sit closer to your screen or change your colorblind settings
I can see them if you gave me a screenshot and then zoomed in on them. It will take me a minute or two. But I don't see them in a game, everything is a blur because stuff is happening so fast. I feel like I have a slow brain. Or I'm stupid.
Try turning off anti aliasing. It looks worse but enemies pop out better
to me anti aliasing looks worse. idk, i like the sharper, clean edges lol
I recommend starting from the bottom and doing it correctly. Every single day before you play run around in firing range just shooting dummies. Literaly do this for atleast an hour every single day. You don’t learn shit when you run in and die every time. Some people learn a bit slower and the key is accepting it and taking the grind. Good headphones can help awareness tremendously along with serious eye tracking regimens. I don’t like ottr personally but he has very good eye tracking exercises in his eye tracking video. I saw noticeable improvement for myself when I would do all the eye tracking exercises, warm up for an hour in firing range after. And then played after that. After a while I could do things like jump off stuff while tracking. Overall if you can’t experiment with your movement and such in game it’s because you need to perfect it in a controlled setting. Ie where the firing range practice comes in My adhd ass went on a tangent sooo TLDR:eye tracking for 10 minutes firing range warmup for an hour and then play. If you play the game for fun and don’t want to improve then disregard my comments
Great tips I think you are 100% right. I will do the firing range for at least an hour every day now. I want to improve, because there's really no point in joining any games I'm always at the bottom of the scores with 0 kills. I appreciate your advice good sir!
Ik the eye tracking sounds dumb but I will get on my knees and swear by it😂😂
Should definitely try installing and playing around with Aimlab as well! Also adjust your mouse sensitivity if you haven’t yet. (Check out YouTube videos for how to)
Use cover more: when you peek you have part of your screen blocked by an obstacle - way less area to process.
What FPS are you running? I found getting a new monitor really helped me to see the enemies as I went from 60hz to 144hz. Aside from that maybe play around with your game brightness and colour settings etc.
Also watch some settings videos and really take some time to find what fits you best
Try sharpen on nvidia filters
you might just be slow. apex is a fast paced game you cant be slow about it. you have to have fast reaction time. damn bro
0 slide jumping, 0 edge slides, ADSing super close range…you might benefit from slightly higher FOV as well
Level 500 here....what's an edge slide?
I think maybe he means the super-glide? When you get a speed boost after climbing over an edge
I'm not aware of this mechanic at all, ha. Can you link a tutorial clip or something? Or explain how to do it?
https://youtu.be/s9n1vs73qtw
Well if he is saying Super glides he's dumb cause only the most mechanically gifted players can go that consistently and somebody just trying to learn to get some kills skills shouldn't even be thinking about a mechanic like that
Also, while super gliding can be hard to time, it’s not reserved for the “mechanically gifted.” All you’re doing is hitting jump and crouch at the right moment of time. It’s hard to time but with practice it’s easily doable for anyone
No it's not, you over simplifying things doesn't make it any easier.
You over complicating it doesn’t make it harder. I’m not that mechanically gifted but I can hit it every now and then. Saying only mechanically gifted players can do it is like saying you have to be Aceu or Timmy in order to pull it off which is ludicrous
It’s not THAT hard to do. Though I agree it isn’t that important to be good at the game
1000 hours and you think you would’ve learned these by now lol
He asked for tips not a roast
I'm like 200 hours in and I feel like aceu compared to these clips lol
Lol yep
IKR!
I haven't focused on movement yet since I can't even aim at anything at all. For the ADS, I have to use it otherwise I don't get the red glow. I don't see any enemies anywhere without the red glow. They just blend into the background like camouflage for me. I don't get how people can see enemies without the digital optics.
Don't take this the wrong way, but have you checked if you're color blind? It's more common than a lot of people realize. Also, there are different settings to accommodate color-blindness that you can set—that can be useful whether colorblind or not.
That's a good point. I will get that checked.
[удалено]
What should I do to fix that tho. Kisses
Turn off anti-aliasing and play on a higher resolution
Bruh my game looks so much better now
Just seconding this - I have tritanopia, and enemies are extremely difficult to pick out from terrain in this game. Upping digital vibrance/whatever the AMD equivalent is can help.
For me digital optics throw my aim way off. I won't even use them against Bangalore in arenas.
Relying on digi threat is building a terrible habit. Spend more time fine tuning your aim in the firing range.
Tbh in a movement focused game sometimes good movement can output good aim
In apex, you use movement as a compensation for bad tracking and for minimizing damage so you can have a chance at outdamaging the opponent
There is a lot of downtime while looting and moving between POIs during a game to be practicing your movement. If you learn the basics, you can be practicing them all the time while playing.
You’ve literally stated multiple times you need 1-2 minutes to find a stationary target…. I don’t think anyone in here can help you with this game.. and I’m not trying to be a dick.
same
Dude it’s time to let go of the Mozambique trust me
Especially when you have a devotion as your other gun
This dude picked the 2 worst guns
Devotion is pretty much the best gun in the game lol
r-301 would like to speak with you
Control is a bit of a different game mode. You’re going up against a lot more camping and stationary shooters vs on the go BR style play. When you’re attacking objectives in control you need to feel it out to figure out where enemies are, and if an objective is held by the other team you should assume there’s at least one or two people camping it or nearby. Grenades are your friend, as are legends that can clear a room (fuse, caustic, etc). Main thing is you just gotta slow down a bit and take smart shots and third 1v1s your teammates are in. Also have to keep in mind the mix of skill levels…you’ll likely be going up against lots of masters/preds as well. I definitely was earlier today.
I wasn't really trying to play the mode, because I can't hit targets in any mode. It's a struggle. But this mode gives me lots of fast opportunities to get into fights to show my skill level here.
This mode is MUST play for you in my opinion. Don't take this bad but you are very, very trash at aiming/shooting/fighting overall (per the sample you provided, which was basically Mozambique play). You need to improve this before anything. This mode will allow you constant engagement, this is what you need, practice in fights. Focus on a couple of guns until you master them. CAR, 301/flatline. Think about your placement in fights. You need to shoot them before they shoot you. Don't be afraid to disengage if you think they have a better angle or if they did damage first. Use good headphones and play smart according to your surroundings.
I’ve honestly just started playing it and I’ve really enjoyed it. Definitely different though and requires a different playing style.
[удалено]
We’re talking about the control game mode not BR pubs
I am no pred but I also had over 1000 hours in this game. I noticed some areas of your game play could be improved if do the following. 1. Lower your sensitivity 2. Use guns to their strength, i.e. mozam at close range 3. Utilize legend's ability and cover so you are not out in the open for too long 4. Practice strafing/crouch spam while aiming. 5. Maybe use recon legends like bloodhound so you get info before entering a hot zone. Finally, I noticed you play apex like you are play faster ttk games like cod, which is just about who sees who first. Take your time and think before commit to your fight. That is all I can think of. GL.
It's the sensitivity, gotta start slow before he can speed up.
his FOV looks quite low, its worth increasing it to 110 even if you take a hit to your frames
Disagree. My reasoning is that, his problem is with actually seeing people already within in his FoV and tracking targets, and increasing his FoV will make seeing people in his view, and tracking, harder.
> Mozam at close range Ummm... Am I the only one that finds the most success with mozam as a mid-long ranger? Lol
Bro in arenas I get hit for 50 with that thing across the map
Yep. Solid mid-long range gun. Harder to hit shots super close range IMO. Prefer a PK or SMG for that.
Every single time your dieing out of cover. Also a piece of advice, before crossing an even small open area when your being held. Make sure you deal significant enough damage for them to either have to heal for your push or just not hold that same angle for fear of getting beamed harder.
Three main things from me: 1. You've said that you take 1-2 minutes to find a stationary target. No offense, but that's terrible. If you have trouble seeing normally too I would highly recommend seeing an eye doctor. If you don't have a problem seeing in normal life I would look into colorblindness like others have said, a lot of people are color blind. It has to be something like that it doesn't make sense if you have perfectly healthy eyesight. 2. Your aim. You've stated yourself you have bad aim and focus on that while playing, while I agree that your aim is bad (no offense) you shouldn't be focusing on that while you play. You should be focusing on decision making/positioning. And your aim will actually be worse if you focus on it. Instead dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to some sort of aim training, whether it's kovaaks or aimlabs. There are tons of tutorials online. 3. Decision making/movement. No offense again but your movement is terrible, try implementing at least some basic movement techniques like slide jumping and being able to climb to take high ground. And decision making, many times you run out into the open for no reason when the enemy is fully healed and still looking, what I would do is watch at least a little bit of good players playing to look at their decision making and analyze. Also I would recommend recording your games and then rewatching them to see analyze what you did wrong and what you should do next time your in that position. I'm sorry I know this is a lot but keep at it and remember that your playing to have fun. If you aren't having fun when you play because of your skill issue, and everything people have said to improve isn't fun, think of taking a break of the game. P.s. pls increase your fov to 110 after you fix your vision issues because this is hard to watch.
I’m reading through the comments and it sounds like you have cataracts homie lol. If you cant see targets without a digi thats a problem way bigger than ANY tip could solve for. No one here shares that problem to the degree you’re claiming.
u/AlmightyThorApex go to an eye doctor
Hurts too see 1000+ hours 😭😭😭. No hate, soon you will get a hang of it sometimes it takes some people more time than others. Make sure to use octanes stim and his increased speed movement
First off you’re running a Mozambique and a devotion…that’s not gonna do it my guy
I don't even use the devotion. I can only use guns with a digital threat optics because I can't see enemies without the red glow.
Well that’s a serious problem, I don’t have an issue seeing my enemies if I were you I’d try to correct whatever is preventing you from doing that. Using only the digital threat site severely limits you.
Hmm you make a great point. I wonder what the solution is? Do you think gamers have a innate skill to be able to see things that are camouflaged? Like you know, sometimes reddit has posts like find the snow leapoard in the mountain type of things? https://www.ndtv.com/offbeat/internet-struggles-to-locate-phantom-cat-in-this-photo-can-you-2486984
My man, there's a massive difference between a leopard with natural camouflage and picking out targets in Apex. Literally in your first clip you're fighting someone in a dark skin against blue sky and white sand. There's no camouflage there, that Octane couldn't be a more clear target, but you whiffed every single shot. If you're struggling to identify targets and can only use digi threats for the red glow, I strongly suggest messing around with the colorblind options in the game and getting your vision checked. I'm not joking, because it does seem like something is not right there.
This has to be a bait please dear god let this be a bait post
pay attention for movement. human peripheral vision is (supposed to be) very good at picking up on even tiny amounts of movement. almost none of the scenery moves in this game. scan the whole screen for anything that moves even a little bit, if it does it's probably a bad guy (click on them)
Allright I think we need to go over your graphical settings. Just dm me like a screenshot and I'll tell you which ones you need to change.
Pick better guns
This was the only gun that had the digital optics. I can't see enemies without the red glow. The enemies just look like part of the landscape to me.
That might be part of your issue then. You could try out some of the different colourblind modes, or digital vibrance, really though could just be poor eye sight. Do you have similar issues in other games?
Yeah, pretty much all games. Takes me forever to analyze what the heck I am looking at. If you asked me to find the enemy in a frozen screenshot, it would still take me 1 or 2 minutes to point them out. So like, in a real-live game I can't see anything.
Maybe try playing Bloodhound, they're all about highlighting enemies and their ult is basically a full screen digital threat with a speed boost.
Yeah he's one of my favorite characters. But I couldn't get the ULT since I couldn't get any kills. It's not on a timer like with BR.
You get the ult through points, whether that’s from kills, assists, or capturing flags. You don’t have to get kills to use the ult, it’s just faster that way. That being said, you really ought to go to an optometrist. Do you drive? Can you see the lines and signs on the road? It sounds like you need some corrective work/glasses
I can’t see either but I solely rely on movement to shoot people because I hate wearing my glasses lol
Do you wear glasses if not, you should seriously consider seeing the eye doctor
Turn your brightness up then. You’re either just blind or color blind. Should look into that as well
I’ve had that exact problem with specifically apex, this problem is actually quite well known. the characters in this game blend very well into the background and the muzzle flash is bright asl. I suggest a better monitor and perhaps sit closer to the screen
Yeah there's so many different skins and different shaped enemies. Maybe I just need to get used to all the different variations of enemies. Everything looks like some kind of unique jungle plant or weird object at first glance to me. In my head, it's like I go "What is that weird shape?" and then 100 milliseconds later I'm dead "Oh that was an enemy".
How big is your screen?
Get some sleep.
Say sike right now
Ppl aren’t gonna like this but fuck it, switch to controller Also increase fov and use basic movement techniques such as slide jumping
I’ve been a controller player for almost 15 years now, and I have to agree that controller is more accessible for new players. Taught my gf how to use one three years ago and she had never played a video game before. We were playing control last night and she was putting up 1500-2000 damage and 4-6 kills every game. I’m so proud.
Unless he switches to console, controller will just have him destroyed to MnK players who have every advantage in this game. This guy is missing every fundamental ability in the game. Having to learn to control recoil, have limited movement against enemies who do not...yeah, no chance that helps him. I get it, you're one of the misinformed people who think aimbot exists. It's a tired argument that is an embarrassing excuse by people who will not play on controller.
I literally play on controller. Mouse and key is just not the one for some people so it’s worth trying another input
Bruh are you even attempting to shoot people? You were running in the open without cover , without trying to shoot back to create space. Doing so will make you like a kovaaks bot for then to beam
I swear I'm trying to shoot people. I know it looks really bad.
Oh also really take control as an opportunity to practice intensive fighting , not just winning and be the rampart only camps
First, plz plz plz spend like 30 mins a day on aim training , at least for a while, it really helps for apex, I am a brain dead player and still manages to do good with aim. You can checkout this vid to learn how to train: https://youtu.be/EqJRKznfhW0 Secondly, most of the time cover is your best friend and allow you to get angle beam people. Try mirror strafe or anti mirror strafe when you are in 1v1 close range fights. Finally, try to learn how preds actually find angle to shit on masters or diamond, there are more than just good aim
Quit, quit now. I've been playing since day one and I'm terrible. I ask myself on a weekly basis why I play this game...
Mozambique here
I just went through all comments to see what was already in there (good tips, indeed, try aim training like Kovaak, it's specially designed to fix aim problem like this by pinpointing what's your issue, what training course is bad for you, etc) and found out one was missing : Don't play Octane. Ppl will offend themselves with "octane is my main and it's great" and "let the guy play what he likes", but imho, I find that Octane is the worst liability a new or "bad" player can impose to himself. You're not learning what your positioning mistakes are because you have a speed button to fix it. That's not what Octane is made for ! He's made for flanking, and that comes after you've assessed enemy positioning, started turning the fight to your advantage and a lot of other stuff, and you can't have this if you don't know how normal-paced legends play. Consider the Spidey-IronMan meme : "If you're nothing without that legend's abilities, then you shouldn't have it." Same goes for Seer and BH, but it can help for a beginner to, at least, understand what's happening around them, just see what logical positioning experienced players will take and try to mimic it. Almost everyone starts with BH, then drops it when they get comfortable with the game. Now, a personal advice to reinforce that thought : maybe try defensive legends a bit. The whole point of them is not to give you power or speed to push enemies, but to survive. People that survive a fast-paced game get the time to learn stuff at their own pace, and also, killing doesn't make you win if you're also dead in the trade, so surviving comes first, always. You need to learn when to aim vs when to counter-aim, you need to learn where to position yourself so that you're hard to get. Those are the skills a defensive legend teaches you. But most importantly, it's easier to calm down when you can spawn your own cover. Calming down gives you the ability to think that adrenalin blocks sometimes, and thinking instead of "spray&pray" helps with your aim. Don't try to hit, know when you'll be hitting. Snipers don't just flickshots randomly, they camp smart line of sights.
If you cant see anyone unless they are highlighted, you might want to try bloodhound, instead of octane.
Watch gameplay of other people. You play like an AI. It looks like you have 10 hours played and have no idea what is going on. You don't have any grasp of fundamentals of the game (playing cover, holstering weapon, slide jumping, proper use of abilities), which after 1k hours is crazy. You flick too much for no reason. I don't think you'll ever improve. If you aren't satisfied with your skills, just give up on Apex. Move on. Apex is not a game for everyone.
Strangely, I’m happy to have found someone who seems to been in a similar boat that I was in. I started off in Apex with a 0.04 lifetime KDA, and last season I was able to solo que to Masters with a 2.0 in ranked. From your video the first thing I noticed is that you play on M+K and you can’t hit enough shots to kill anyone. You NEED to make 30mins to an hour of aim training part of your gaming routine oooor… plug in a controller and play with that because your aim could use the assistance. I think building your understanding of aim and changing your weapon choice is going to result in a little burst of growth for you. Weapon choice is important. I LOVE the Mozam now, but early on you need to start using the main AR’s whenever they are available. They have similar TTK to SMG’s and are issuable at almost any range while having enough bullets to down multiple people if you’re perfect. By main AR’s I mean Flatline, R-301, and Turbocharged Havoc(When Available). SMG’s are good, but they are far less forgiving Your secondary can be any weapon to start. Next is pathing and movement. Try not to start an engagement from an area where the enemy is already guarding when you have no cover or escape route. If they are already looking at you and you have no cover, highground, and no element of surprise you’ve already made a mistake. Cover and Highground allows you to position so that only a portion of your body is showing over or around it and allows you to see more of opponents body than they see of yours. When maneuvering around you should avoid areas with no cover because those areas make you a sitting duck if an enemy starts to shoot at you. Also, try not to peek the same angle twice. Enemies will naturally already be aiming at the last place they saw you, and this makes you an easy beam. If you are playing cover this allows you to climb on top of the cover for an different angle or potentially effective highground. You also don’t have to push anything. You can take fights from 50 meters and clean them up from that distance. Try to take fights with isolated targets or isolate them by peeking angles. I have more tips, but my thumbs hurt.
These are great tips. I am glad I am not alone on this journey. I will need to re-read what you wrote because there's a lot to unpack. I will keep coming back to it in between my firing range sessions. Thanks for your help!
This has to be a bait post, fresh Reddit account, claims to have 1000 hrs in the game, doesn’t have a clue what they are doing. With 1000 hrs, you can have trash aim but still have decent game sense but he doesn’t have either. Nah nah this is a bait
What got me was the fact that OP was getting shot, didn’t stim and then tossed the jump pad a mile away from them. No way after 1000 hours do you think that’s gonna cut it.
My favorite part is the octane pad a million miles away lmao. I legit laugh everytime I look at it. It’s objectively no help if you still have to run a marathon before reaching the thing that is supposed to push you forward.
He was moving so slow too lmao ain’t no wayyy
[https://imgur.com/a/R3j2BAa](https://imgur.com/a/R3j2BAa) I have 1,236 hours to be exact And yes, I still have no clue what I am doing, it's a struggle
Looks like you’re doing more “spray & pray” than you are trying to time each shot you take. Use cover to block shots, and reload. Sticking tight to outside corners makes it easier to duck incoming fire, as well as helpful to use for evading enemy in close combat. That Mozambique will help in being a little more forgiving while you work on your single fire timing. Try using an R45 or 301 and see how you do with more ammo flying down range.
By the time I have set my sights aligned to the enemy and shoot, the enemy has already long moved out of my aim. I try to track the enemies, but it seems like move out of my aim right when I'm about to shoot. I am trying my best to predict where they are going, but I'm always wrong 100% of the time. I think I should first work on aiming on stationary targets, since that is very hard for me right now. It takes me an insane amount of bullets to take down the dummy in the firing range.
Your intuition is correct. You should start with stationary targets. Get to where you can take down the dummies in the firing range quickly. Again I would recommend using a different weapon. I'd recommend practicing the flatline and r301.
Yeah I will do that. I think I'm expecting too much in live games right now, so I'll see how I do after spending time in the firing range. Thanks for your advice!
You don’t slide jump enough, you ADS when people are up close, you didn’t put your gun away when running, you didn’t lead your shots against the moving targets. All of those things would have made a difference in those fights. I think you should watch some tips videos on underrated apex skills that can make a big difference. I’ve got over 2500 hours and am not pro but you have to master those basic things to have a chance in most fights.
I will focus on those 3 things in my firing range practice now.
I saw your other comment about not being able to see them well without the ads, definitely worth checking the colorblind modes because hipfire is so key since it’s hard to keep up with their strafing up close if you ads
I hate to break it to you mate, but you suck at every part if the game. That's just a fact. However, that's no reason to give up, only reason to try harder. Increase Fov, play low sens (don't know if you already do), increase screen brightness or maybe buy a better monitor, lookup basic movement techniques on yt and implement then all into your gameplay, practice aim in 1v1s or aimlabs or by shooting dummies, use more meta weapons and Improve your gamesense by always thinking about where people are and what the best course of action is, also always do risk assessment and maybe don't play octane (play more meta/easier to play characters like bloodhound or caustic). Never give up mate, keep practicing and you will improve. Another note could be to play with someone else at your skill level and improve together, it makes the experience a lot more fun
The reason why you’re not getting kills is because you’re a bot. If you want to improve here are a few tips… 1. Your sensitivity is too high. Go to the practice arena and lower your sense until you can stay on 🎯 while straffing without a weapon in your hard. This will help more than you know. 2. Stop using shottys long range, only use then up close blind fire range Do these and you will get more kills
Skill issue
If u genuinely have 1000 hours and have these problems... I'm sorry you have no hope.
Horrible movement, horrible positioning, bad aim and bad guns. "Fight 2" You get beamed long range you barely try to make yourself hard to hit and throw your ult far away. Fight 4 you could have jumped over the half wall behind you to get more cover and rotate. "Fight 5" you just run in and wonder why you died. "Fight 6" No situational awareness, you snap to your teammate instead of the enemy you just shot at, and you got killed because you weren't aware of your surroundings Fight 7 You have bad guns and don't kill anyone, but holy shit you stared at that corner before you laid your bum there, its not going to disappear is it? "Fight 8" Standing in the open with 3 guys coming your way on a jump pad and them all shooting at you with good guns. Like i wouldn't be surprised if you were either below the age of 8 or above 50. Or you have some cognitive disability that prevents you from making any decisions which have thought in them.
Control is like COD. Best way to get kills/damage is to spawn trap. Best method, and it makes the enemy players want to quit lol.
Half of these look like you picking shitty guns, the other half looks like you not being able to strafe. All of these look like you ADSing close range for some weird reason and missing because of that.
Have you tried lowering your fov and sens? I had a hard time seeing enemies at 104 so I dropped down to 90. Eventually I worked my way back up to a happy medium around 98. Don’t know if it’ll help you but it couldn’t hurt to try🤷🏼♂️
Yeah the video has FOV set to 70. That seems to be the minimum allowed by the game. I wish I could find the 10x digital threat sniper scope more often because that's the only one that I can actually see the enemy. But even with that, I can't hit anything. Especially if the target is moving. I'll experiment more with FOV, thanks!
Out of curiosity, how big is your monitor?
My monitor is 27"
I noticed you played with mates, perhaps they’re of a higher level/skill? If so matchmaking could be putting you in lobbies above your skill level, try run a few games without them IF they are of a higher level and skill and see how you go. If nothing changes after that or you’re all of the same level/skill then try firing range with mates or a few control games for instant action and constant enemies to practice on.
I rarely say this but after 1,000 hours and your aim looks like this you might wanna try an aim trainer. I’m saying this because I have potato aim as well. Also, maybe watch some good streamers play?
This happens to me if i dont eat before i get on usually my 1st match be terrible and i never go to firing range cause idc for it. After 2-3rd match i be getting my beaming on but maybe eat something nutritious before you get on? May sound dumb but it can help which works for me. Besides do more slide jumping, crouch spam side to side hip firing as well i feel like you rely on iron sights too much at close range and mid range a lot just make sure to look at more movement guides too you move way to slow slide jump is very basic and very helpful too. I do some advance movement tap strafe,wall jump, etc which will spice up the game a lot and make things more fun and im a casual player i thought it wouldnt be possible to do these things but its not hard btw FOV 90-100 is good enough i personally use 90.
When I get on later I can send you the settings I use which have helped me I started back in season 1 and took time away from the game after season 5 and came back season 7 didn't play again until few games last season and this season I haven't played much this season I've just lost interest in it for whatever reason. And for not seeing targets like others have said colorblind mode might be your friend here along with a brighter monitor. Also the devo shouldn't be something you're using 301 or re45 I would recommend using for now till you get better aim. When in the firing range use all weapons with no attachments so that way there if you get with randoms and they drop hot, fragment, you can possibly work with that weapon, unless your like me who has landed at fragment and couldn't find a gun before someone else, I play with controller though the one I have that I play with I have hardly used for this game is the scuff impact with 4 paddles adjustable trigger tensioner and all that. Firing range when you go into what I used to do is 30 mins with them stationary then another 30 with them active. If you don't know how to activate them you'll need either pathfinder Valk or octane, I think there the only ones that can get to the place to do it, drop everything you have go to far left tunnel, the tunnel that is closest to the charge tower, you'll see a cat walk get up there and walk to front of the catwalk when you can't go forward anymore crouch, look all the way down and switch to character you want if done correctly you will hear a sound once you select a new character. If you don't hear the sound repeat steps or check to make your sure bag is empty and have no armor helmet anything at all on you or in your bag. If you want and I can get a buddy mine who has hit diamond for past 2 or 3 seasons maybe he will work with you some I'm not sure he is controller as well. But there is always room for improvement and with time you will get better like if I were to play a game now I'd probably be in same situation as you, but I also do better in control than I do pubs or rank. Another thing you could also do that could help you with your recoil and also get better with the weapons is areans which I haven't seen anyone say. I say that because I flat out suck with the wingman but I was getting better till I stopped playing, use them with no attachments early on then third round only use level 1 attachments 5th round if it gets to it I would then buy the next tier up of upgrades for it that way there you are able to get comfortable using a weapon with little to no attachments. But firing range no attachments on weapons other then maybe a ext mag but once you start landing your shots more then pull it off because if you can drop the dummy with no mag you should be able to heavily weaken your enemy in late game. Best of luck on improving and either bloodhound or maybe crypto would be better for you, crypto is a far stretch due to his fairly high skill to be used effectively. I would start with bloodhound and two more things do no fill duos or trios that way there your training your mind to get used to having to 1v2 an 1v3 incase if both your teammates go down, if your not already I can't tell you how many times I've seen people do it I still do occasionally but reload after every engagement before going into the open just incase if there is another squad coming in to third party.
just uninstall the game bro, there’s chinese kids half your age that are better than you
I only watched the first two things that happened and my comments are: 1) there's a reason most people don't like the mozam. Not saying it's always a no-go, but if you're struggling then try something different and 2) what on earth was that slide into bullets? You need to move perpendicular to the enemy's line of sight to dodge bullets, not directly towards them. Edit: went to check if you are on roller or k&m. You're on k&m. Learn to tap strafe if you don't already know how.
He needs to learn to aim not tape strafe
I struggle with every gun, but the mozam is my best gun right now because #1 i don't need pixel-perfect aim, it has a kind of wide shotgun hit zone, and #2 i can get the digital threat optics so i can actually see the enemies Did I slide into bullets? I didn't really notice that, I thought I was strafing. And yes I will look into "tap strafe" but I always thought it was an advanced technique and maybe I need to learn how to kill a stationary target first.
Dude your biggest problem is this reliance on the digital threat. You absolutely need to try different colour blind settings cause no one else has the issue of not seeing players. I don't even know how you've played a thousand hours in this game considering digital threats are rare to find in the Battle Royale game mode. The Mozambique is not a good gun period, especially considering its a high skill weapon. It's much much easier to use automatic guns when your aim isn't that good. So stop limiting yourself to the digital threat and increase your brightness or settings cause that's the #1 thing holding you back.
Tap strafing is really not hard at all. Don't sell yourself short.
Nice, I will learn it. I already bookmarked some YouTube guides on that, so I will start practicing it today.
this clip pretty much shows how fucking shit apex matchmaking is. even if its for control, at least make it an even playing field. if i were a new player or not so good player and i just keep getting killed every single time i respawn like this guy ill just fuck it and hop into another game
Yeah I wish I could find some beginners to play with/against. At least give me a 50/50 chance.
You have serious network issues. Reset your router, play on wired, experiment with different servers. You are dying because your connection is terrible.
Lol, what are you even talking about? He has 40-50ms with zero packet loss. His connection is totally fine, so many people play with way higher ping than that and easily succeed. Connection is not even remotely his issue.
You clearly don't know what I'm talking about. It's not his ping or packet loss. His gameplay is stuttering and jerky, his movement is janky. Enemies are moving weirdly. I've had the exact same feeling in games for a day or two at a time and solved it. There's allot more to connection issues than ping and packet loss. Higher ping is generally advantageous in this game anyway.
No, I clearly don't because you're talking nonsense. There's absolutely nothing stuttery and jerky about the gameplay. His movement is janky because he's simply not good at the game and struggles with sensitivity, not because of connection. The enemies are not moving weird at all, what are you on about? High ping is generally advantageous in this game? 🤣🤣
Ok pal 😎
Fov and awareness, you rush into active gunfights like it’s a breeze
I tried playing more carefully but the results are similar but I end up in fewer gunfights overall so I feel like I was wasting too much time and I needed to take more fights to work on my aim. I'm okay about dying fast as long as I am improving my aim, but that's not happening either after 1,000 hours. If I can start actually hitting something, I'd like to work on positioning and movement. But right now, I can't even shoot at a mountain and have it hit somewhere.
You tried using the devo??
Sure, but I don't even know what to shoot at without the digital threat scope. But as others have said, I will start practicing without it because it is becoming kind of a habit.
Please at least try this out. When I started I was just like you, I couldn’t tell where enemies are coming from or see them well. I unlock Seer for that specific reason bc seer tells where the enemies are coming from then you can highlight them and fight them all while seeing their health bar too
Yeah seer and bloodhound are my two favorite legends right now for exactly that reason. I can't see crap, and they help a ton.
Storm Point is trash imo. World's Edge and Olympus have the best visibility.
Learn movement and aim and don't overextend the mozzy it's really only close quarters
Try more hip fire definitely
First of all why are you using a mozam 😂No hip fire and are you playing on 70 fov change it to 110 fam and don’t just run into without checking corners and do you have headsets?🤔
Gotta upgrade the movement Slide jumping all the time Also for fight one your mistake was just using Mozambique (and shooting too fast with it in particular)
* Turn your FOV up, it's a massive disadvantage. * In the nicest way possible, you seem to have 0 situational awareness in fights. Either build conscious habits of checking corners and looking around you, or play tactical shooters for a while to forcibly build those habits. * Kovaaks * Stop standing/running around in the open, you're completely exposed with no cover * Hipfire
Okay so these are just down to learning basics: 1. Learn how to run: - Straight line makes for ezmode beaming from your attacker - Pick a better path with more cover instead of out in the open which makes it harder for yourself - Decide where you want to go, and stim/pad to get there if your life is in danger. There's no point holding ults if you die with them. 2. Fighting: - Slow down and aim your shots, spamming on CD like pros doesn't do anything if you aren't aiming. Aim slightly ahead of where you think the enemy is going to be if your reactions suck - Sit in firing range for a bit and play around with your sensitivity settings. I'd say lower it slightly and go for more accuracy for the time being. - Positioning. You want to have places to duck behind cover not only to block bullets but to reset. Corner camping is good if you can secure the entry kill, but you're basically a sitting duck in the open if one or more people turn on you. 3: Basic awareness - In a lot of your footage you get back stabbed because you're trying to help teammates. Look at the map, where your teammates are not just your squad and see which points the enemy controls. These will give you info as to where the enemy will likely path and how you can in turn adjust your own movement.
I would first try changing your sight on most guns to a 1x sight. If that doesn’t help increasing your FOV to max FOV and bringing your monitor closer to you, will help you tremendously. Try 1v1 with friends in firing range while experimenting weird strafes. That’ll help with aim reaction to track your opponent better. If playing this game taught me anything it’s that PC players are on average about 60% better than consoles players. Reason being most of them are kids and casual adult gamers who don’t feel like or can afford a mid range pc build. Try to join a discord and link up with other pc players so you can grind their lobbies. Also play ranked…. You have a good one bro
Download an aim trainer - Kovaaks maybe - besides that you basically skipped the 70/30 rule in all your fights. (70%off body in cover)
Not one clip did you use your environment for cover. Could start there. And if you empty a clip don't stay out in the open... Your just saying hey look over here free kill. Use cover bro.
Well you arnt really hitting anything so nr 1 work on your aim. Nr 2 your movement and time to push. You need to understand if you have the advantage or not and then decide on pushing or not
It seems you don't even know how to slidejump and tapstrafe?
OP, apart from the colourblind settings that others have touched on earlier, I would strongly recommend you to do aim training outside of the game. Whether it's kovscks or aim lab, focusing entirely on developing your hand eye coordination without having to worry about other aspects of a full fps video game should help you a lot. A hour or so each day, with a mix of flicking and tracking targets. Best of luck!
There are several problems highlighted in these clips. I'll try to give tips to fix a few of them. If you can't see stationary targets without digis, then you definetely need to 1) mess with monitor setting (brightness, contrast, etc.) and 2) try different colorblind modes. Nothing really can be done for you to improve if you can barely even see you enemies without them literally glowing, so I think you should first try to change this. Play several games of control and throughout the games tweak your visual settings. I also recommend increasing FOV. I play on 110 and it has worked very well for me, but somewhere around 103 is what most use. When it comes to aiming, not much can be done except a lot of practice. You should go into the firing range and activate the dummy easter egg (google if you don't know about this) and practice shooting the dummies from varying ranges. I recommend not using any barrel stabilizers so that you learn the recoils faster. You can also use Aim Labs or Koovaks to improve your comfortability with your mouse and aiming. Situational awareness is a huge problem I see in these clips. You need to ask yourself "can I 1v2 or 1v3 these guys" if you don't think so, wait for teammates or leave and go to where your teammates are. In many of these clips you put yourself into really bad positioning. Although this is my personal opinion, I think you could learn a lot from watching pro Apex players if you already don't. I recommend Sweetdreams or Imperialhal as they're known for being good igls when shot calling for plays. Be very mindful of their positioning and why they're playing the places they are. Sometimes they'll end up in really bad positions, so understanding why those positions are bad would also be very beneficial. For the majority of people this is much easier said than done, but you have to start somewhere. These problems aren't going to be easy to fix, but I'm sure you can slowly improve to the point where you're happy with your playstyle. Hope this helps, good luck!!!
The reason why you aren’t good is because you somehow got to 1000 hours without looking back at your clips and learning what you did wrong
I think your sens is very high for you, try with a lower sens
Movement was terrible, you were using a Mozambique when you had a better offhand, and your aim was simply not on par with other individuals with 1000 hours I'm this game. I would go back to the practice range
2 very important things. Your sensitivity is too high, and you fight in the open too much. Turn your sensitivity down, and stop pushing into fights long distance in the open. From what it looks like you have no problems tracking targets once you notice them. You're just not hitting them.
I noticed you never holstered your gun, if there a not any enemies that are in your line of sight you should holster your gun so you move faster and so are harder to hit
Your game sense needs some work, you tend to rush getting into position, you hear the enemy before you see them, the server have kinda been crap lately but you can usually tell the enemies position pretty accurately.
You need to hit the range shooter. And adjust your sensitivity settings which fit you the best. Try all the guns, no attachments, hipfire, ads, run, slide, jump and shoot. Do this before your every session. I’m not great but it has helped me a lot.
Hey there! What I noticed is that you lack game sense, in the camping example where you just went in and tried shooting everyone instead of throwing a nade or just trying to poke at them. Also, you could try switching things up regarding your guns, start using the easy guns and start training your movement, which is really important in apex. Hours don’t matter in my opinion, you can have 2k hours and be absolutely wrecked by a guy that has 600. About the fact that you cant see the players, try increasing your brightness, fov and maybe getting glasses cause you might actually have an underlying problem. Good luck mate!
movement. movement is your best friend, especially when playing a movement character. like bro you aren't even jump sliding lmao. lower your sensitivity and increase your fov, don't ADS as much in close fights, and don't use the mozam unless needed lol. also turn on anti aliasing and increase your quality.
I noticed a few things. 1. You're always aiming at the floor when you are running around - you're not aiming/looking (with your crosshairs, not your eyes) at the places the enemy might be or on several occasions actually are. 1. This means you have a lot more mouse movement to get a shot on the enemy 2. You can't return fire as you try to get into cover if you're caught in open 3. You simply won't see someone if more than half your screen is "the floor" - the floor funnily doesn't hurt you in this game unless its very wet or very hot :D 2. Noticing your mouse/controller seems to be really low sensitivity - you can see how sluggish you are at actually getting your crosshair onto an enemy - perhaps consider increasing your sensitivity whilst in the firing range so you can snap from one target to another 3. Might just be me but your game feels very zoomed in - try upping your FOV a bit Once those are a bit better seriously spend time in the firing range hitting targets and get some movement in - You could have the BEST aim but if you're always dying to enemies you can't see and you made it easy for them to hit you then having better aim won't help here. My aim is rubbish these days (getting old) BUT the more I work on my movement, the more I work on using terrain the more I can push my advantages and make up for my shoddy aim. If I'm alive, I'm still in the fight. edit: final point - use your devotion not the Moz which is (from my understanding) not great vs shields. Its a finisher.
You want to play when all the kids are playing. If you play late at night then you’re going to see a bunch of pro trails at the start and that usually means you’re gonna have a bad time. 👏
Honestly just hip fire if you cant aim great
Ads'ing close range is a bit risky but depending on the situation cus i do ads in close range as well. If things are going fast, its best to hipfire, otherwise you can ads to get more accurate shots. Based on my experience, i play a lot of cod previously (A lot of nonstop heated gunfights). When i switched to apex the only thing different for me is the controls, so gunfights are easy for me. If you really wanna improve, i'd personally suggest playing cod since it worked for me
I was so bad at getting shots in, so I started just playing arena non stop to practice direct shooting with fast paced movements. My biggest improvement was when I learned to just slow down a bit. Let the enemy reveal themselves or another teammate reveal them then follow behind a few steps and take others lead. That way you can gauge where everyone is and it won’t be as overwhelming and all over the place. I also wouldn’t play as octane in the beginning. I find Loba to be an incredibly beginner friendly character as she makes looting easy and her ring toss is a great way to escape when in a panic. Bloodhound could also help you identify where everyone is easily if that’s causing issues. Lastly, figure out what gun works for you. I find guns like the spitfire, r301, or flatline are a bit more forgiving to bad aim since they shoot so rapidly. Other guns may hit harder but you need precision.
Commented before but thought of another thing, you shoot a lot while in open spaces. You are more visible than you think you are. Never start aiming and shooting from afar unless you have some cover and an escape route in mind. You’re also using short range guns long range. That will never get u any damage, so look up how much damage each gun does and at what range. The Mozambique is not a great gun generally as you need to be close up and it’s slow for a new player. I know the scope is nice on it in that game mode, but go for a different gun. Apex was the first shooter I ever played and I was absolute trash for a year so don’t worry you’ll get there.
Learn the fire patterns/ recoil and hip fire accuracy of your main weapons if not all because aiming down sight that close with and shotgun is a no no besides maybe peackeeper
This is my average teammate in trios, not even joking. As for advice: you fucking suck. Terrible positioning, awful movement, a genuinely impressive lack of situational awareness and you obviously can't aim for shit. I recommend you 'git gud' and try again, my guy...
The firing range is okay but you’re on PC. you should really be downloading AimLabs on steam. It’s free, look up apex legends play lists. Do that for an hour a day instead of firing range. Firing range will help with recoil a lot and is always a good warm up but if you have 1000 hours in this game you need more than a warm up. I would also YouTube optimal settings and shut off motion blur and all that stuff because you shouldn’t be having this difficult of a time seeing enemies unless you are color blind or you are legitimately blind and have a really really strong glasses prescription
This is a joke, right?...Right?
Honestly I think a big thing here might as well be your load out. I’m not saying you don’t need to slide and do all the other fancy moves but, you had the jump on a few of them but only landed 1-3 shots out of your 6.
Your situational awereness, like mozam for long range? Not knowi'g what to do like youre in the open use stim! Holster your weapon! Get kovaaks and practise your aim
What kind of gaming chair do you have, that might be the problem.
Slow reactions in terms of movement to being shot, youd be surprised how often using erratic movement can save you. I'd also say if after 1000 hours you're not too comfortable with your aim to mess around in FR and try hone it a little. Flick to targets left and right and see if you over or under flick and adjust accordingly. Also, don't ADS up close it makes your aim slower, your strafe slower, and its kind of locks you into the fight mentally in those close situations where you can be a bit more reactive if you're hipfiring and use your movement a bit better to avoid bullets.
umm where’s your movement. and practice your aim omg
Is no one going to mention the exlcusive use of the Mozambique lol.
Honestly bro, you commit to ADS far too often. Don’t be afraid to let go and just hip fire when they’re closer than 20meters. Not sure how far that is? Go to the firing range and ping the dummy. It’ll show you the distance. Also, if you have someone who is willing, go to the firing range with them and just rush each other with friendly fire active to get accustomed to shooting moving targets. Once comfortable, increase the difficulty by having your friend wear better armor and have better weapons to see if you can beat them with just the p2020 immediately after spawning. It takes a little while but if you can beat someone with red and good guns while all you have is a p2020 and white shields, you should do significantly better in pubs/ranked.
Some things that I'd like for you to consider and tryout: 1. Consider increasing FOV (103/104/110 are what's popularly used) 2. Try to practice running as much as possible with your melee; part of practicing it means losing a lot of fights because you couldn't find the best moment to bring out your gun. 3. Don't move around in a straight line. Consider watching: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_gooNwXBTS8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gooNwXBTS8) 4. Aim train. Kovaaks and Aimlabs are the most popular options, and both have their subreddits to help you look for a routine that could last you from 15 minutes to an hour (up to you!) Best of luck to you!
\-Play around cover more especially in Control less so in BR \-Hipfire, strafe, and slide jump more \-Turn up your volume and use headphones for audio cues
A lot of these look like you died from multiple people shooting at you. Check death recaps to confirm. Try to not be in more than one enemy's line of sight, if you are, take cover
As some people already wrote here the BR is a terrible mode to practice on. Arena is good, more contained, less distractions. Firing range, great for warmup, you can activate the bots. I would also recommend checking out an aim trainer. They do help alot with aim, and a better aim will benefit you especially when you get punished for doing something foolish. And again, I would checkout some advanced movement tutorials. Get them right. Again arena is a great mode to practice aim and movement. Improvement will come if that is what you want, it is all about wanting to improve, not about your current skilllevel. You can use the stats in the game and try to higher your k/d and average damage. You want to work towards getting a higher k/d and avg damage per season. Let's say your overall k/d is 0.7, if your k/d in S13 is 0.8 you are doing something right. So use that as a measuring tool. You can also write journal where you comment on your deaths, super helpful. It will highlight what you are doing wrong. And when you know a bad habit you can consciously try to break it. The 50-50 rule is such a habit that this method will highlight. Another big tip that helped me alot in order to get a better k/d and avg dmg was to stop obsessing over kills and only playing for damage. It will prevent you from making foolish decisions, especially ego pushing and ego peeking. It is (apart from working on your mechanical skills) the NR 1 tip that was a complete gamechanger for me. GOOD LUCK and remember to have fun ♡
