NICKMERCS\u2019 recent transition from Twitch streamer to Apex Legends Global Series competitor has been nothing short of spectacular, with the former Gears of War pro more than holding his own among the very best Apex players in the world. He\u2019s frequently shared tips for other players to improve rapidly at Apex Legends, encouraging players to play as fast as possible even if it means wins won\u2019t be guaranteed. Now, in a June 9 YouTube video, NICKMERCS has outlined why he thinks gun skill is more important to players than Legend abilities in Respawn\u2019s battle royale. When using Wraith, a number of viewers commented that Nick wasn\u2019t actually wedded to using her abilities in matches, despite the well-known strengths her Dimensional Rift Ultimate brings with it. Explaining, Nick said that he believes gun skill is the most important skill to master in Apex, with a complete understanding of when and how to use Legend abilities secondary. \u201cYou barely use her kit?\u201d he read. \u201cI mean, true, I\u2019m not gonna argue that. That\u2019s what I\u2019m tryna tell you guys. Kit and abilities and stuff like that are definitely important but the more important thing I think in this game is just shooting your f**king gun. Take the gunfight. A lot of us come from CoD, Gears of War, Halo \u2013 just shoot man.\u201d Timestamp: 8:50 He continued: \u201cPeople get caught up in the kits. That\u2019s kinda what I\u2019m saying. Right, whereas if you have good gun skill\u2026 put all your eggs in that basket and you\u2019ll learn the players over time. You just gotta play.\u201d It certainly fits with his earlier advice to play as aggressively as possible. Combine that with strong gun skill and you\u2019ll undoubtedly improve, even if your complete knowledge of when and how to use Legends may lag behind slightly.
