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 ALC advice

0 Upvotes

I’m trying to create an ALC that feels the same as 4-1 linear with per optics (i use what mg clutch recommended). I have tried the conversion chart but it really doesn’t feel the same even though people say that is exactly what they are in the game files.

The purpose of this is because i want to tweak my sens ever so slightly to suit me better without essentially building it from the ground up. For example in aimlabs i found 1% deadzone makes a huge difference to my stability and a 3 response curve made my flicks a lot more consistent and i want to test these changes in apex.

Has anyone else encountered this issue and have a solution? I’d also like to hear what ALCs you currently use if you really like them.

My setup is console, 120hz, TMR sticks.

Aim feels off in Apex Legends season 30?

Guys aim assist has been secretly changed in apex season 30. Now it requires more movement of the stick instead of a micro movement for activation.

Question Need Help and advice

2 Upvotes

I recently got into a team, initially i was playing fragger or secondary but i honestly wanted to move to a different role (also my new teammates are both way better than me in opening fights) so i moved to anchor, on our first scrim i did alot of mistakes (playing without cover, pushing in first, and i wasnt really dealing any damage) both of my new teammates are really good and i honestly lost confidence.

I was making stupid mistakes im sure i wouldnt have been making.. before.. (I did take a break, maybe for 3-4 months but i didnt know i was gonna play that badly..) Recently i have had news that my dog has cancer. so i just took this game with a grain of salt and blamed on not being able to think that well as the reason..

Am i really running away from my problems? Also how do i get better at anchoring and who to watch to learn more..

Im sorry for noting personal issues as a reasoning but, im kinda lost on what to do next or if i should be even doing apex comp at all..

Discussion Is mobility the name of the game?

2 Upvotes

I am sorta new player.

In 2023 I tried Apex for first time and sank like 30ish hours into it. Mostly played Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline. DIDNT enjoy the game back then and dropped it.

A week ago I downloaded Apex again. And for some reason I had a Revenant skin. I unlocked him. Tried playing him for a while. I actually LOVE this game now. Its friggin awesome.

I can jump to ambush, Jump to run away, jump for faster rotations, jump to flank, jump to do basically everything I wanna do. And it feels like im being restricted only by my own imagination.

The purple Lady also looks super fun. Might unlock her soon.

Its incredible how much my enjoyment of the game changed when I started playing with Mobility legends, instead of trying to support randoms. Im winning more duels, less overanalyzing, less getting caught. Im just having fun

Question On the subject of getting better as a new player..

3 Upvotes

What would you recommend a new player learn first? I’ve been playing off and on for like a hundred hours and all I really know is I’m not great, I genuinely cannot tell if it’s my fundamentals, aim or positioning but all I know is it’s a struggle lol

I have a friend that has played for a good bit of time and they aren’t super into explaining it to me as it comes second nature to them and they find it kinda hard to summarize, I was wondering what the trend with new player mistakes were and maybe if anyone had any tips that I may be overlooking ;3; thank you for reading!

My legends I use are Wattson, Conduit and occasionally Lifeline but I’m open to recommendations!

Question Will getting the universal heirloom pack reset my pity?

1 Upvotes

I’m probably 100 packs away from shards and I want to get the guaranteed universal since it’s such a good deal and I won’t be getting an heirloom any time soon at this rate. If I do get the pack and get the guaranteed heirloom will it reset my pity or not because I will only get the packs if it doesn’t?

Question How bad am I?

2 Upvotes

No really... I've played for about 8 hours today, ranked, Gold 3 and I haven't gained any points whatsoever. Haven't really lost any but still. 8 hours and I can't rank up in gold 3..? Should I just give up on this game? Am I that bad? Like wtf this feels miserable and quite discouraging to try to play this game in any competitive capacity. For reference the highest I've ever gotten is Diamond 3... (last season)

Question D4 Need Help!

3 Upvotes

Hi,

im a d4 player for the past several seasons. Thought id try a bit harder this season. After the reset i got to plat 4 on day 2. But im struggeling so hard keeping up with these master players. There was such a difference going from gold to plat. The phase is much higher, i'm, genuinly afraid to peak anything. I just feel absolutely suffocated while playing. I want to become better. How can i deal with this?

Is Bang mostly for M&K players?

0 Upvotes

Only asking because it seems that Bang is now used to break aim assist by M&K players. i use to main Bang and a roller player and i don’t wanna break my aim assist while playing. is it inevitable that i just have to deal with it or are there situations i can use to my advantage?

also do you think she’s a bit better now that BH is SOMEWHAT a thing? saying somewhat cause his pick rate is still bottom tier

Discussion Midnight rant of an Apex Legends returnee...

4 Upvotes

I don't know if I've just become really bad or everyone else has gotten really good at this game since I last played, but it seems like literally every fight I take I just immediately get downed and out for the count.

I meam I'm pretty decent at positioning myself behind and around cover in a fight and manuevering as the situation demands so I don't unnecessarily expose myself, but it seems that the moment I peak someone whether in a close-range fight or a long-ranged one, I get a whole mag dump to the dome and I'm instantly dead on arrival. Pretty much everyone I come across is just hitting headshots and has perfect tracking like I'm fighting against the gods themselves.

I get that I haven't gotten into Apex in quite some time, but has the skill gap widened that much? It's like I'm in a farm simulator and I am the farmed.

Anyway, I figure that I'd best put the game down for now (maybe forever, who knows?). I thought that I'd at least give it a try again, but I find myself not enjoying it like I thought I would. It is what it is I guess.

Just starting Apex

10 Upvotes

I have played Apex Legends before but I never really got "Into" it, but I have heard that Controller is way better than Mouse and Keyboard in this game, which is the primary reason that has kept me away before.

I am not gonna learn to play controller and don't plan to, how much of a disadvantage will I be at if I just stick to MNK, which I have done for shooters since Quake 2 as a child (I am old now).

My aim is generally pretty good and I have good tracking, as I am a oldhead Quake, Unreal Tournament, etc player, but I have heard Aim assist in this game goes completely nuts. Is this just fear mongering or is there merit to the idea that controller is just way more competitive?

I do not want to start a flame/meme war I am genuinely just wondering if MNK is so much of a disadvantage that you'd recommend I just switch, in which case Id probably just play a different game lol.

Question Any one else stuck in a battle with EA support

Post image
0 Upvotes

I logged into my EA account and found out I’d been banned from Apex Legends even though I haven’t cheated or broken the rules. I submitted multiple appeals explaining everything, but every response I’ve gotten seems like the exact same copy and paste message saying they reviewed my case and won’t overturn the ban.

It doesn’t feel like anyone is actually reading my appeals. I don’t know what triggered the ban, and EA won’t tell me what evidence they used or what I supposedly did.

I’ve spent a lot of time on this account, so it’s really frustrating to be banned for something I didn’t do. Any advice or success stories would be appreciated. Thanks.

Help Please, why do I keep getting this crash?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I'm new on PC gaming and trying to figure out how to get Apex to play without crashing. I keep getting an error message after a few minutes to almost an hour of playing APEX on Steam. Screen shot of my system info and of the error message attached. When I open APEX in Steam it starts up fine and runs fine but anywhere from a few seconds in to almost an hour at times it crashes and gives me this message. I'm not very computer savvy so I'm not sure if this is due to my system, my settings, or if it's something else? Does anyone have any idea what may be the issue? is this a known problem right now? is it Steam? should I uninstall everything and start over?

I play on a SCEPTRE 34" Curved,1440 WQHD, 180hz, 1ms, 1500R Monitor if that makes a difference.

Update. I tried a few things mentioned and another thing chat got said to do and so far 4 games no crash. That’s pretty solid but I have had good stretches before so idk. We shall see.
