10 tips on how to be a good teammate in Apex Legends Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends is as team-based a battle royale as they get, so it\u2019s worth reinforcing exactly how players can be the best teammate possible and make lives a little easier. From choosing a character to capitalizing on abilities in combat, practically everything in Apex Legends is dictated by team synergy. Whether you\u2019re dropping in with randoms or playing with friends, players should remember the basic tenets of teamwork. We\u2019ve therefore put together 10 commandments for being a good team player and helping your squad be as cohesive as possible. 1. Be flexible about Legend selection The starting point for every match finds three squad members choosing between the game\u2019s 16 Legends in a randomized order. Don\u2019t be a stickler, understand that people can have the same main as you and have a few characters you\u2019re comfortable playing if your favorite gets taken. There\u2019s no need to cause conflict before a match starts with your teammates, it\u2019ll always reduce your chances of coming away with the victory. 2. Communicate (preferably on voice chat) The most crucial commandment of them all: whether through pings or voice chat, talk to your team. This will allow you to adapt to their playstyles and best succeed in your engagements by determining ideal rotations. Apex has an extremely good ping system \u2013 so make the most of it!

If you\u2019re on mic, don\u2019t play loud music in the background, and remember to mute yourself when a mom or roommate starts yelling at you. 3. Drop as a team Everyone can make suggestions for drop location, but, ultimately, majority or jumpmaster rules\u2014so be ready to follow their lead and don\u2019t land miles away just because you like a different spot. Conversely, while you should drop with your team, you shouldn\u2019t drop on top of each other to the point that you\u2019re splitting Supply Crates (unless absolutely necessary). 4. Don\u2019t quit on your squad Don\u2019t quit just because you didn\u2019t get your favorite Legend, and absolutely do not quit if you\u2019ve been killed but your respawn banner is still retrievable. Never count out your squad, there\u2019s always the chance they pop-off and carry you to a victory. 5. Don\u2019t spam pings Pinging is very useful, but spamming is not. Whether it\u2019s a drop spot, needed ammo, or a Respawn Beacon, don\u2019t be the nuisance that makes life a cluttered nightmare for your teammates (especially if they\u2019re in combat). And if you act too needy, just be aware that your teammates may be driven to act like Reddit\u2019s \u2018bailey_kerr\u2019 in this clip. 6. Sharing is caring Your team is as strong as its weakest link, so be sure to ping loot for teammates (especially early on) and drop needed ammo, shields, and meds when you can spare some. It\u2019s never a good idea to leave one of your teammates to use their fists in a gunfight, it\u2019s not very likely they\u2019ll come out on top. 7. Don\u2019t go Rambo Just like you shouldn\u2019t drop solo just because you like another location, don\u2019t try and be the hero who spontaneously runs off from their team to push an engagement or separate area by yourself. Instead, ping or communicate your intentions so your unit can move as one.

Practice safe revives Reviving a downed teammate is an obvious priority, but you should do so smartly by clearing the area of threats, healing or shielding up, and then reviving them. To be clear, do not waste time looking for a better stock while your squadmate is still downed. Below, Feest Mode demonstrates a great way of buying yourself some time using nades before reviving a teammate. I love nades, such a helpful way to weaken a team before sending a full push #UnleashTheFeest #ApexLegends #XboxOne pic.twitter.com\/Qbv3GHmJUe \u2014 CJ Feest (@CJFeest) May 27, 2020 P.S. Even when downed, you can contribute by pinging enemies your team may not be able to see, or by providing some knockdown shield cover. 9. Treat your fallen comrades with respect If your teammate has fully died and you\u2019ve successfully brought their banner to a Respawn Beacon, one of two situations will arise: 1) They\u2019ll respawn near enough to their death box to get their loot back, or 2) their box is too far and they\u2019re dropping in with no gear. In the former, be normal and don\u2019t loot their goodies before they get back (unless you\u2019re in critical need). In the latter, ping nearby loot for them or, worst comes to worst, drop whatever weapon, ammo, shields, and meds you can afford to hold them over. 10. Respect dibs Just be courteous and don\u2019t steal items a teammate has already dibbed. The game makes dibs obvious through the in-game ping system, so this should be pretty easy to follow. If you follow these simple rules, you will soon discover that basic human decency makes for a better playing experience with more rewarding interactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
