Apex University Discord

​

Welcome everyone,

​

First the mod team would like to thank everyone for being part of this community and providing content and tips to other players, we know that there is a lot more that could be wished from the staffs side and we are currently trying to improve things day by day. Now here we are at 160k members which is amazing, we never expected the sub to grow that big when we started it, so once again thank you all for that!

​

Since the beginning of this community the subreddit has naturally been and will continue to be the focal point of our efforts while our discord server started out as a way for the mod team to efficiently communicate about the subreddit, however over time as it became more active and we started putting more attention into making it a stronger extension of the sub and would therefor like to once again invite everyone to partake and explain a bit about what you can expect of the space both now and going forward:

​

- 1on1 coaching

​

- Group finding channel

​

- Subreddit & Discord suggestions (easier for the mod team to have a discussion about the direction of the sub compared to over at Reddit)

​

- Self-promotion channel & stream your games

​

- Meta & strat chats

​

- Off-topic and space to flex your gains

​

We are furthermore in the process of preparing some challenges in the discord, possibly with some smaller prizes. More to come on that in the future.

​

If you are looking for any of that we ask you all to join our discord xbox/ps4/computer, we welcome everyone! We hope to see you in our ever-growing community on discord.

Question Advice for improving aim smoothness, speed, and overall efficiency (Made a reference video of exercises to showcase areas of concern).

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I have recently started playing Apex with some friends. I quickly realized how high the skill ceiling was. I am not new to FPS games what so ever but this is the first that made me want to really practice my aim. I hopped into Kovaaks but I am noticing some problem areas and inconsistencies. I would greatly appreciate anyone's advice for what I need to work on to improve my aim.

I have noticed that lifting my wrist off of my desk mat helps with some smoothness as opposed to a more relaxed wrist on mat position, which for me, causes aim hopping when tracking. I made a quick video of me doing some exercises for reference.

Question R5 still a good tool for getting better?

4 Upvotes

New player here that's looking for good ways to improve. I stumbled across R5 which looks like a good resource for practice but I saw some people saying a recent update made it feel less like real apex. Is this still a good way to get better or are there other resources I should look into aside from just grinding the game?

Question Help me with winning more fights

3 Upvotes

So I'm in d2 and I'm bad at fighting. I know a lot of other stuff like how to rotate loot and in my opinion I'm decent at most that's not about fighting. I think my main problem is my micro positioning in fights, how I create openings to push and what to do if I'm getting pushed. Can someone help me with some tips? Thanks!

Tips & Tricks Creative uses for Alter port?

7 Upvotes

Just curious if Alter mains have found any clever ways to use their ult. The obvious use is just throwing it down in a safe space as a fallback, but I wonder if you can get more out of it.

Throw it on heights to take instantly w the squad? Bait one angle and port to the other side for a flank?

I anchor on her so I like to maximize the ult usage more than her tac. All tips welcome!

quería pedir ayuda para mejorar en apex

lo que se me dificulta es controlar el recoil de las armas a larga distancia y un poco lo que es el tracking, también parte del movimiento ya que hay partidas donde saco 10 kills en rank diamante y otras donde no saco ni 300 de daño y quería pedir algún consejo y tips que me ayuden a mejorar

Discussion Mouse sens is bugged

2 Upvotes

Has anyone encountered this? My sens feels twice or more faster even with low edpi. Only in apex, tried playing other fos games and seem to work normally.

Update: I found out the problem though sadly no solution yet. Mouse acceleration is being turned on even though its disabled on windows.

Discussion Why certain weapons are so bad compared to others from the same sub-class ?

2 Upvotes

First off, It might be skill issue and I might be the problem, but I want to discuss with you guys why there are weapons who are straight up giga bad, compared to others. I will start with brief examples but before that, I am excluding pistols, who were invented to be lackluster UNLESS you found the same and use them as double weapons.

R-99 is truly unable to knockdown fortified enemy with blue armor unless you hit 95% of your hits which i can't see how will happen against drug soyboy Octane. However, Prowler on the other hand can hold up 35 shots in the magazine and can knockdown maxed armor Bibby through his passive shield ALONG with a few missed shots. Also let me say that you can play the weapons pretty much like a shotgun in close distance and I'm saying it to you, because i am Diamond Gibby OTP and I am doing that.

Shotguns. Yeah, let's talk about them. You got EVA, which is hands down worse than Mozambique and then on the other hand you got Peacekeeper, which is situational, because of the fact that you need to aim for a while for 100 damage,which is still strong, while MASTIFF can ooga booga someone for 80-90 damage without any fancy aiming sh*t stuff.

Assault Rifles - R301 being kinda nerfed to the ground. Flatline is well, so innacurate to the point i would rather use Prower for mid distance and if I need something for more than 50-60 meters, I am using Marksman Weapons. Havoc on the other hand is so broken to the point whenever I hear it from the enemy, I am either rushing them for bubble shotgun fight or just run away, simply because he recoil is giga easy to control and that will murder me through my passive shield and maxed 5 cells armor. GREAT SUCCESS.

Snipers - Using Charge Rifle means I am reporting you, while Sentinel and Longbow are kinda balanced compared to each other.

Machine Guns - Honestly people don't use them, I don't use them and therefore I got no idea why they exist, unless you playing Rampart..True, having 50 bullets on your magazine pretty much means you don't need second weapons, but man.. USE PROWLER PLS. PROWLERRRR.

Tell me your opinion, feel free to critique me !

Question Ranked Progression

Question Controller Players : Is it worth it to play on "None" right stick deadzone if you have high stick drift?

0 Upvotes

I'm plat 1, and saw this guys video about his controller settings. He said " You should always play on "none" deadzone, I play on it cuz it allows you to make micro adjustments to your aim and reduces delay, even if it gives you a slight bit drift you can just controll it"

True. I have noticed that I've been more accurate with the R3, Nemi and the flatline. It's been easier to flick my sniper, more accurate. But my 1x optic aim, hipfire, basically close range has taken a beat...

I have a wierd stick drift on my dualsense, like it's not in one direction, it just drifts harshly in whatever direction I was moving the stick prior to recentring. Which has been a pain for me to control.

So do I need to get used to it? (Always keep my thumb on the right thumbstick.)

Tweak my settings? (Lower sense or sum shi)

Or

Revert back to "small"? (I don't get any drift on small.)

Mb for the yap.

I really am trying to get better, but in my ranked lobbies I have this, "oh just don't play ranked" the pub lobbies are worse, why does this game not do something about matchmaking, how am I supposed to get better when this is what I'm fighting?

Discussion How to get better in competitive games using controller?

I've recently started playing Apex legends on my ps5 and I can't seem to do things as well as I did on M&K.

Does it get better with time or do I have to tweak some setting in there?

Question Is my take on mid-late game rotations if you’re outside zone correct? (Ring 3,4,5)

4 Upvotes

Isn’t the trick about having all 3 team members focusing on just one target of the enemy team to drain or knock them, and then push to safety, or push to their position?

Since you’re the team outside of the safe zone, the team inside should be under more pressure from more angles. It’s more beneficial to push the in-zone team, rather than blindly finding an in-zone spot right?

This take is assuming you don’t have legends like Valkyrie and no survey scans available
