7 Apex Legends tips & tricks to improve your movement in Season 6 Respawn Entertainment[jwplayer ePrNLj8A] Movement is one of the most important aspects of Apex Legends, and we\u2019ve got seven pieces of advice to help you improve that area of your game, courtesy of Redditor \u2018ThatGuyDes.\u2019 Movement is significant in a lot of battle royale games, especially Apex Legends, which gives players a lot of freedom when it comes to mechanics like jumping, sliding, sprinting, and more. The importance of it in Apex is several-fold, as it not only applies to simple things like going from point A to point B on the map, but also to the heat of gunfight engagements where your mobility skillset can make a difference between winning and losing. Reddit user \u2018ThatGuyDes,\u2019 who is a regular contributor to the Apex University subreddit, has posted five tips that can help you \u201ctake advantage of Apex\u2019s unique movement mechanics,\u201d which should, in turn, help you get better results overall. Reloading in a gunfight With how intense and wild gunfights can get in Apex Legends, you almost always find yourself having to reload while still very much in the thick of things against the enemy team. One good advice here is, when you are going to reload, make sure to crouch and turn your body, because that reduces the size of your hitbox and makes it harder for the opposition to track you. Always keep moving As mentioned above, this game\u2019s mechanics allow players a lot of flexibility in movement, and you should look to take advantage of that every second of the match. Always stay on the move, combining mechanics like crouching and strafing, to keep yourself safe from anyone that may have their crosshairs on you from a distance. This applies to pretty much all situations \u2013 whether you\u2019re moving from one fight to the next, looting, or applying healing items. Never stay still during gunfights This is more of a specific extension of the previous point, but staying mobile during gunfights can make a huge difference between whether or not you come out of it alive. Constantly shifting from one angle to another, from one position to the next, keeps you unpredictable and slowly but surely moves the advantage in your favor since your opponents will begin worrying about from where you\u2019ll shoot at them next. This is especially important if you\u2019re using Legends that have some sort of movement-related ability, like Pathfinder\u2019s grapple, Octane\u2019s jump pad or Wraith\u2019s portal. If you have those kinds of tools at your disposal, you might as well use them. Bind crouch to right stick on controller This one\u2019s obviously only for controller players, so if you\u2019re on keyboard and mouse, you can skip this one. ThatGuyDes recommends binding the crouch button to your right stick (RS on Xbox One, R3 on PS4), claiming that it\u2019ll upgrade your movement once you get used to it. \u201cIt\u2019s going to feel awkward at first, but once you get good at it, you\u2019ll wonder how you ever played without it,\u201d the Apex tips guru wrote. Mix up your crouch strafing Since we\u2019re on the topic of crouching, it\u2019s important not to get into the habit of simply spamming crouch and strafe during gunfights, because that can make you too predictable. Teach yourself to use a variety of timings, angles, and directions when combining the two mechanics so to keep your enemies on the back foot during engagements. Add \u2018climb peeks\u2019 to your arsenal As most know, peeking in FPS games refers to the act of getting an angle from your place of cover in order to watch an angle and maybe even shoot at any enemies that may be around. While the most common way of peeking is around edges of walls\/structures, it\u2019s also recommended that you use climb peeks, which involves climbing onto something in order to view over it. Most players will be ready for you to peer at them from around edges and corners, so you can really catch the opposition off guard with this gung-ho movement. However, the Redditor did warn not to use climb peeking too much in situations where there might be too many enemies around: \u201cYou have to be very careful when climb peeking against multiple enemies. In certain situations, climbing can give all your enemies a line of sight on you.\u201d Slide, slide, slide Sliding is something most Apex Legends players do plenty of, but it can be especially helpful if you\u2019re trying to blaze through the map. One good trick is to always jump right after each slide, which helps maintain your forward momentum. This really comes in handy whenever you\u2019re sliding down a slope; try jumping during that slide to help keep your top speed and also avoid any obstacles instead of having to stop and go around them manually. Furthermore, whenever you\u2019re jumping down from any significant height, look for any slanted surfaces, structures, or objects that you can slide on so that once you land, you won\u2019t have to deal with that brief but annoying second of being stand-still as your character\u2019s body recovers. That wraps up this list of tips and tricks to help improve your movement in Apex Legends. Remember, Firing Range is the perfect place to practice all of the game\u2019s unique movement mechanics and teach yourself to make them second nature. With enough training, you can add these to your muscle memory so won\u2019t even have to think about it when playing, allowing you to focus on shutting down enemies and winning matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
