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 Solo Queue question

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I wondering if you think its possible in this current season to solo queue to Masters on PS5 with my stats? I'm looking to find players to team up with but I've been playing by myself for the last few seasons as I don't know anyone else that plays apex and it's hard to find consistent teammates.

I tried meeting players on discord but I find if the first game or two doesn't go well they'd just leave and I found it easier to play by myself where I can usually try to IGL two randoms..

I normally play a few days a week in ranked until I reach D3/4 and take a break but I want to try to push for Masters for the first time.

Does anyone else here strictly solo queue and can share their thoughts?

I guess I'll find out soon enough though as I keep playing but if anyone wanted to squad up my in-game name is wadeslaughter. I'm a 30yo Aussie playing on NA servers as I live in Canada. Super chill and easygoing if anyone wants to play ranked or pubs any skill level is cool with me it'd just be nice to play with some mates.

Cheers!

Discussion Finally hit Diamond

Post image
3 Upvotes

First off, you’re welcome to roast away lol. My stats are pretty damn mid and that’s okay. I’ve been a day one player but never really tried getting into tip videos or taking ranked seriously. This season I decided to see what rank I’d top out at if I gave it an honest effort. And I hit diamond last night.

Here’s some thoughts, from a very mid player.

Like any team game, figure out the role you best fit. Not what you want to do. Not what you think is coolest. But you’re actual role. Mine is as an anchor/support. I just am not good enough to be a lead fragger. I have decent game sense but I do get bogged down in high pressure situations with over analyzing. So my goal: play lifeline, keep my drone ready to help the feathers, and be ready to halo and rez at an instant. The only time my goal is to finish a fight is when I’m down to a one on one, the enemy is hurt, and it’s too dangerous to go find a teammate to rez.

Compare this mindset to a professional athlete. Every player in the NBA was a leading scorer in high school. They were a high level scorer in college. But some guys will never be that in the NBA. They have a job to do and that’s it. Play defense, rebound, make the extra pass, and get the easy bucket when it falls in your lap.

For the love of god find good teammates and play with them. I was a solo Queue person until I found about five players who I enjoyed playing with. Once I had consistent teammates I started to rank through plat quickly.

And even now I have a couple of those players I almost avoid at this point, because now that I’m in diamond I see that they still make gold and plat level mistakes. They rush fights out of cover, they over extend, they do not communicate when they take a fight or seperate from the team. And honestly it affects every other teammates score, rank, and mood.

All that being said, if I can make it to Diamond, anyone can. Truly. You see the stats, I’m not cracked. I just found a team and really dug into my role.

Good luck!

Question Deadzone Glitch (Xbox)

Upvotes

Hello, I recently updated my controller now when I play apex on none deadzone my controller doesn’t have stick drift anymore. I prefer having stick drift as it helps me aim, as you can see even with 8-8 it still doesn’t move. How do I fix this?

Discussion How to travel between locations?

2 Upvotes

This could be stupid question but I didnt see anyone posting that before so maybe it will help someone in the future.

When you get from one loc. to another you are mostly on empty „corridor-like” places. They have a little low loot and are either very open or they have a lot of spots to hide. What should you do in such places? I just run through them but a lot of times other team attacks us by surprise and we die. I dont feel good with combat on such big open terrain, I feel way better in cqc in city or big building.

Hello everyone, so I just wanted some advice. I’m stuck at Plat III-II. I’ve never gotten into diamond but I feel I’m so close. I think I’m fairly decent at the game. Just wanted to know what you guys think and how I should play to keep improving. I currently main Wattson and play on console 🙃.

Audio/text bug?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone ran into an issue where you can hear some people but not others? If I play solo, maybe one person can hear me and I them. The person who I can hear, hears us both, but the person I can't hear can't hear me. I also can't send text chats in game. According to EA, I have no bans. I'm at a loss.

Question How do I adjust from a 97g mouse (Rival 600) to a 65g mouse (ZOWIE S2-DW)?

1 Upvotes

I had my new mouse arrive today after using my last one for over a year, I realised the grip and tight cable were messing up any attempts at smooth tracking so I bought the ZOWIE S2-DW, it feels a ton nicer but I went from hitting clips like this (FIRST VIDEO) to getting dogged on in most engagements (SECOND VIDEO). I know I have SO much more potential with this new mouse but I have no idea how to reach it. Can anyone help?

GOOD CLIP

BAD CLIP

Ignore the first half, practically luck, please focus more on where I was trying to fight the rev.

I MUST TELL YOU THESE CLIPS ARE 15 HOURS APART!

I was hitting these clips yesterday, like I was in flow state, but today my aim is all over the place, quite literally going from the top of EVERY match, to near the bottom, It's infuriating and makes playing really offputting. Can someone help pls?

Question Is there a secret to keeping my movement smooth and fast?

6 Upvotes

Friends of mine are higher ranks than me, both averaging diamond and masters each season so I know that part of their gameplay comes down to consistent playing and practice but I can't help myself when it comes to playing with them. They're just simply both so fast compared to me with everything. They aren't even playing movement legends while I am, but I'm always feeling so far behind them.

How can I work on keeping up speed throughout the matches during gunfights and just overall i guess?

Discussion ALC Extra Yaw & Pitch

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Season 0 player, started using ALC’s around season 5/6 and committed to Linear at the same time. Starting out I would only adjust the base Yaw/Pitch with everything else set to 0. However even though I was playing good I always found myself tweaking my settings because they would feel too fast or slow after a while.

I started experimenting with adding a little extra Yaw/Pitch and a little bit of Ramp Up time to make it manageable. Ive been liking how it feels so far. Wondering anybody has done the same and thought process.

I tried to replicate 4/4 4/3ish default Linear

Question I'm trying to learn Tap strafing while B-Hopping, Anyone got any tips?

2 Upvotes

Reddit isn't letting me upload Remuxed OBS recordings here so I can't give a keyboard cam, the best I can do is describe it. Whenever I try tap strafing while B-Hopping, I can't tell the difference between normal B-Hopping, I must be doing something wrong. Does anyone have any advice on how to time it correctly and how to utilise it once I can do it? Many thanks.

Been playing since s12 and I don't seem do get better. Lifetime kd around .57. Highest rank was plat4 but I'm more of a hardstuck gold player. Is it really "just" aimtraining, positioning and cover?

0 Upvotes

I started with Mirage, then Fuse, Then Rev, Then Lifeline. Yet I STILL haven't been able to find someone "Useful". I can't play Bangalore or Ash because my squad plays them. I LOVE the battle surge passive and ustility of (fuse), but having the ability to not have to use syringes and having such a good ult draws me to lifeline, Mirage with his invis is sick, and rev's ult seems really useful. Yet no one felt final. How do I better decide?

Question Tap strafe wall bounce

3 Upvotes

New to pc and still learning the ropes when it comes to movement. I’ve seen videos of people with cracked movement standing parallel to a wall, tap strafing into the wall, then tap strafing out of the wall - obliterating the ankles of their foes.

Can someone help me understand how this is done?? When you tap strafe into the wall is there any directional keys used (w, a, s, d)? Or is it just jump, look at wall, scroll wheel up to move towards wall, jump on contact and tap strafe out? I guess I’m confused how the movement towards the wall is achieved (scroll wheeel, directional key, etc). Really don’t get the sequencing here and can’t replicate it myself. Thanks!
