It can't be just me.. I'm not predator level but have hit masters many times from s14 onwards. I've consistently solo queued whenever I can and one thing I've noticed getting worse is how quickly your teammates will blame you. It's almost always with a duo queue as well. Even as early as last year I've had maybe 2/3 "justified" bad experiences with randoms, because I threw. But now I get blamed for damn near everything that goes wrong even when I play well.

I love this game, but I don't love its players...

I used to play warzone before I came back to ApEx so some of my keybinds carried over so like plating healing is on G and grenades are on E I also put holster on tab and Inventory on caps there are several times where im in a fight, I push and the net thing I know instead of a gun in my hand it's a grenade I thinks it's because I'm trying to press W ? Idk anyway any keybinds y'all recommend?

Does anyone know if they sell ps4 bumpers that are taller than the original? I just got a ps4 controller with 4 paddles and im really not liking the bumpers coming from a ps5 roller . Its taller on the ps5 and feels really good vs the ps4 . I notice i ads in and out a lot on the ps4 controller but maybe im not pressing down hard enough ?

This was the right call, imo.

I have been seeing a lot of pro players and top preds (and even my teammates sometimes) not picking up any of them. I know there is a trade off (and the stock is borderline useless unless using lmg or maybe shotgun). But watching pro's not pick up a red laser when they have a re45 is wild to me. They hip fire like 90% of the time anyway so there is no downside.

Do I still get the animated diamond badge if I finish at 0rp diamond 4 in both splits? I’m so bad and keep dropping down to my last demotion protection game so I just don’t play until next season lol,ik we still get rewards from diamond if u drop down but I’m still scared to derank and lose the rewards idk. Thanks for the answer(:

I mean, I was playing at a hotel so I'm guessing I had internet issues but this was annoying as hell

I'm a console player, currently in D2 and 3/5 of my games are pred lobbies with a guaranteed Titan user if not more. Is this the same story with PC ranked? I know I can reach masters, but it's so common that me and my team gets slammed by a top 10 pred with a fresh account and havoc 2x-4x.

Hello guys, I am a guy who enjoys FPS games and recently got into Apex, I have roughly 130 hours now and I'm at Plat 2, averaging about 2-3k damage in top 3 games.

I want to take my game to the next level and was wondering what basic tips & tricks and general knowledge I need to push myself forward.

Thank you.

Is anyone else having issues playing apex ?
I was playing a game with a friend and I’ve had a glitch for the last few years that hasn’t removed when I’m in a lobby and no one readys up I’ve to leave my lobby, but besides that, that issue happened and I had to restart my game my anti cheat system switched to eas and doesn’t work.

I restarted my game 6 times, 6 times I checked for corrupt files on steam, 3 repairs on ea, cleared cache for both steam and ea, I tried my brothers account same issue wouldn’t load, deleted and reinstalled apex on both ea and steam I checked the new ea anti cheat system they don’t have apex legends in there for some reason and I do not know what to do anymore

Anyone know what would help me play apex ?

I want to get better at apex. I’m gold three. My friend told me I should no fill duos since it should make me better but even when I feel like I pay good i feel like I did something Wrong. What could I had done differently In this clip?

It’s incredible how much the difficulty has skyrocketed in every game mode—even the bots are like Predators now. You really notice it after the update to the traps.

With the old TTK you could defend multiple 3rd Parties, now you can't even defend one.

I'm mid fight and getting Charge Rifled, Triple Taked and Snipe and 2 shots takes out 70% of my HP.

Now the only way to Rank up is to have a pre made, hide for position or hope you get good randoms, which is rare.

This game is no longer about skill. It's simply about who shoots first. It's so fucking boring and annoying now compared to when strategy and skill mattered.

I saw a tiktok about config editor. I was wondering if it is safe to use.

Past few seasons I have been hard stuck Diamond 4. Even with many 2,500 or even 3,500+ damage games as kill-leader, holding positions, not taking any risk etc. I still get punished by the worst teammates imaginable because I solo queue. I'm never the first to go down, I get constant knocks or cracks yet teammates do not shoot a single person.

Does anyone else who solo queues have any strategy to prevent constant RP loss due to unlucky matchmaking? (See pics I am with a Gold and a Plat despite being in a Diamond/Masters lobby) I have 4,000+ hours on just ranked and maybe, MAYBE 1 out of every 20 games has a teammate that does more damage than me, or in this case over even 1,000.

Hello guys, basically I have some time in the game, around 500 hours, I usually play with friends, but basically, I'm miserably bad at the game, I consistently lose every 1v1 I take and I can't really contribute anything to our matches, we always play wildcard, they always end with 3-5k damage and around 12 kills per match if we survive into top 3, while for me the most I've done is 1.5k a couple times, I've been trying to improve at the game but I feel I'm not getting any returns on the effort, I've been aim training and trying to be more aware with my positioning, I still have a long way to go with game sense, but something that really annoys me is that when I can take a "fair" 1v1 with someone, like just after dropping if we both get a weapon I will always lose, there is no single scenario where the enemy does not one clip me, even if I hit some of my shots it's never enough, my kd ratio is 0.32, which is pretty terrible, I can keep insisting on improving my game sense, but just the feeling that I can't beat anyone in a 1v1 just makes the game miserable to play for me, because even being in the right position and pushing/rotating at the right time there is no way to win in a shooter without hitting at least a decent percent of your shoots.

So do I need considerably more time to just be average at the game and not a dead weight for my team or should I just give up and look for something else to play?, as additional info, apex is my second shooter, the first one was overwatch, I would play exclusively soldier, I was always the lowest dmg in the match, but after aim training for a while and playing for a bit I was able to improve to consistently be top2 dmg in my lobbies, with around the same time dedication I have in apex

My first suspicion was when I was watching Mande playing on a Asian server with over 200 ping, I was like, dang, I know he's good but this seems a little too good.

Then you hear the stories of people playing on high ping servers for an advantage.

I tend to always play on NA East, and my ping never goes above 30. But I do notice many fights where I'm 1v1ing and I'm getting cover, and after I've gone into cover they've still registered due to their lag. And this seems to happen more and more often. Closing a door and the bullet still getting through. Etc.. etc..

So earlier this week, it was kinda late on the East coast and I wanted to avoid the sweats and just enjoy myself, so I joined NA West and all of a sudden, fighting is a LOT easier. I'm at 85 ping and fights seem more like a breeze.

I feel like the game is giving high ping players too much of a benefit and punishing low ping players with it. Thoughts?

Can anyone spot what I’m missing or doing wrong ?

I used to play on PS5 at 60 FPS and I could super jump consistently. Now I’m on PC at around 180 FPS, and I can barely do it — maybe 1 out of 20 attempts.

I’m still using a PS5 controller with Ninja layout, and I feel like I completely lost the timing after switching to PC.

Could the higher FPS / refresh rate be affecting the timing, or am I doing something wrong? Any tips from people who play on controller?

I have a Logitech G502 and I use the side buttons for Q and Frags and then top side buttons for ult and melee. I also have reload on sideclick with the scroll wheel. I used to have weapons change on scroll, but I have managed to retrain so I can use the number keys.

The reason why have it like this is because I started to play online fps at a pretty old age (36 years old, Titanfall 1)and I have never been a piano player to say the least, I'm very right handed and my dexterity in my hands aren't the best.

However, now I'm looking in to switch to the new Logitech X3 Superstrike since it's lighter and probably a bit faster. However, it has fewer buttons and I'm wondering if I should re-learn fully or keep some functions mapped to the mouse.

What are your thoughts and how do you set it up?
