Ottr what happened man. I loved your old content. Now its all just clickbaity tip videos and reaction content. I still love you but damn has youtube changed.
old style gameplay content releases every mon wed fri on this channel kzhead.info/tools/5pRJ-P2LU0le61_sr_WYPw.html
@@ottr 🙏🙏❤
@@Justahouseelf8227 i think he means the thumbnail
It is a little clickbaity to go into a tip video where the tips are to look around you and be careful there are other teams. Some of his videos I get a TON of specific useful info, and some just dont
i know some tips here sounds like common sense to a seasoned gamer, but from my experience some people have difficulty figuring these out themselves.
i actually didn't know about the share icon at 8:28 despite having so many hours in. big ups, and definitely sharing your vids with friends newer to apex. 👍
POV: You're a mid-level player with most if not all of the legends and keep switching mains trying to find what you're comfortable with and you pressed on this video to see what you can do to improve.
POV: you’re a mid-level Watty main who’s told you should use Wraith by everyone you play with cuz movement is all you’re decent at
I don’t like how my apex career is so closely aligned with this “POV”
@@CuBeKiDxD if you like movement, i recommend octane, even if you dont use his stim that often(its SUPER good for movement playstyles), his passive, ult, and hitbox is more than enough (take this with a grain of salt as i am an octane main)
@@Leocaspar This is true but if you want to have a similar character like this but wanna rank, you can use maggie. The ult with a shotgun is insane and also good movement. I personally dont like octane in rank but I love him in pubs. In rank his q barely helps the team but his ult is good for escaping or engaging an enemy but that's it.
Spot on bro
I appreciate all of the apex knowledge. I have been practicing your Tips and feel more comfortable and confident in pushing fights and surviving in match's. It makes the game a lot more fun to play. The more I play the more competitive I get.
"Keep an eye on what your teammates are doing" Me "i dont need to they aint doing anything ever." 😂
Lol so true
Hilarious
Great advice I wish all apex players could see this. I don’t get why I constantly get randoms with absolutely NO situational awareness and pay no attention to the map or the ring! Sadly I don’t see many random players that use strategy. They play it just for the chance of getting kills so they run straight towards any gunshots without thinking of the rotational disadvantage it could and probably will put them it lol
thats how it should be in pubs. push everything and improve your gameplay. fuck winning. thats for ranked
@@prince_charming354 I didn’t mean you have to have a perfect plan for every game, just basically don’t be a dumbass and make really stupid plays that will get your whole team killed... Who cares if it’s pubs, why would you want to die constantly?
Yeah SOOOOO many people need to see this video lol. The situational awareness thing is probably my biggest strong suit in all games. My aim is meh since I don't play FPS anymore besides apex and I play other games so I don't play apex enough to really truly practice my aim enough. But I can carry based on tactics/strat and situational awareness alone. To where I'm generally the shot caller on the team of friends I play with. So when I see people doing really dumb things it just gets to me. So many people have no idea what their team is doing or where other teams could be, or when we should reposition or go in. Or where we should hold up or run to. Or they will take bad fights without thinking of what will happen after or if we could get third partied. It's like people play the game as if it's a CoD deathmatch lobby. And this is in ranked too. Playing ranked solo can be a nightmare because of these people. Even when I'm in higher levels of ranked I get people with no situational awareness constantly. It's wild. It's like some people don't use their brain when they play games. It's a problem in any team-based game lol. Even when I played a lot and was in masters I'd get people like this way way too often. They just got carried by their amazing aim or something and think that's enough lol. While yeah aim can carry you to a point, if you really want to get good and rank up you need to THINK and observe your surroundings and the situation you're in. I'll try to make calls in ranked if nobody else is, but people just don't listen. They get upset no matter how polite and kind you are. As if trying to make a suggestion or call hurts their ego or some shit. Also people who don't make sure to heal in a fight or who don't look to see where other peoples health are at or if they are healing are the worst. Especially when they ape in and then yell at the rest of the team that has 10 health left and no shields and were healing. As if it's our fault you have no awareness and didn't check to see if we were okay. Or didn't care or listen when we said we are too low and need to heal. Just so much of this game comes down to timing and situational awareness and just always being aware of whats happening in general. And TEAMWORK in a TEAM game. But so many people don't play like that. You don't play games with your hands; you play with your BRAIN. People who don't play as a team in team games are the most frustrating thing. Just play single-player games if you don't want to work with others. Also please people stop hoarding the hell out of batteries. Or if someone says they need shields give them if you have a lot. Theres been so many games where we could have won a fight if the guy with 8 bats just gave his teammates a few of them and let them heal. The other day I had no shields and we took a fight and I was last man standing in our squad, and our teammate was hoarding FIVE stacks of bats after me and a teammate were pinging for over a minute before the fight that we needed shields lol. Like man cmon. If I had the resources we could have won the fight. And you died with all those bats doing nothing with them, after initiating a fight we could have ran around even though we said we didnt have the resources. I checked his box during the fight to armor swap and almost cried when I saw what he had in bats. Sad day. sorry just ranting. Been some bad games the past week lol. Winnable games where someone just did some dumb shit. :/ Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Bro they dont cover me and they are loot goblins bro just leave me alone Bangalore/octane
@@Thebees21 Agree 100% lol. honestly I’ve been trying to grind in ranked but I play it solo way more than I do with a pre-made squad and I’m constantly shocked by the amount of people that are so dumb and idk but I guess they don’t get there are consequences to their actions in ranked? It’s beyond me lol. I swear most of the randoms I play with forget that they have teammates half the time and just do their own thing regardless
As a very mid controller player I can say the slide jumping one is key I would say I’ve mastered it from my time with Titan fall and as a lifeline main I can easily keep up with octane team mates who just stim and don’t utilise this.
As a season 12 predator myself on console, best advice would be trying to understand how you contribute a difference in team fights, or even solo fights. Being calm & strategic would only get you so far, work on your aim & movement.
I'm an Ash main and seeing other Ashes not open their maps to see where fights are happening always upsets me. The information it grants can be so helpful, to know which teams are still recovering from a fight and which areas are so overpopulated with opponents that they should be avoided is so useful to the team
Thanks! the tip in the thumbnail improved my gameplay A LOT. Every wraith that saw me quit instantly
drink the bat
yeah, LOVE to drink shield batteries
I love Apex because these are all fundamentals and it's a bit challenging to remember to do a hundred small, second-long, actions repeatedly.
I also wanna add one thought to your tip #8 about landing. Yeah, don't land to close, but I usually have other problem - my random teammates land waayyy to far apart... which is a big problem in hot zones.
Love this stuff! Thank you! 🙏
A tip from me is to know what you want to do with an ability before you use it. I see too many Valks that say they're gonna ult us then when I ask where they say they don't know. Don't just use the ability just because you can and this goes double for longer cooldowns
Amazing video. I'd say one thing that I see most players below diamond do is heal TOO MUCH when they should be helping a teammate secure a kill. Know when to heal and when to just play low to help your team finish.
Damn i really be laughing and having a good time actually relating to your videos (and its not me making these mistakes) Love the vid ! keep it up Ottr !!!!
One more if you don’t have/use a mic use the pinging system it could tell you team that you are going to attack or defend and say no to pings
Tip #14: Always have the shield batteries selected.
or just bind it to a key.
@@FPSRayn Console gang…
@@ldcommando1616 L, scammed
Awesome content. New to the game. The tips are huge that you're pointing out. 👍 Thanks for the good tips.
I started ten weeks ago I’m trash but looking for more people with mics
Isn't this game sick? Hang in there!! Watch "streamers" and "copy" what they do. Helps alot. Learning movement in this game is a game breaker. Like slide jumping into a fight and jumping out or bunny hopping out of sight while healing. Or crouching up and n down during a 1 on 1 can give you the upper hand sometimes.
Just subbed great content sir! 💯💯💯
Love the vid! thank you
1. listen for footsteps and distant gun shots 2. shield swap in the early game craziness instead of using cells or batteries 3. do your teammates want to push hard, or sit back and take long range shots, strategy can help.
Oh dude this improved my game sense so much thank you thank you thank you
5:30 I wish this was true with my friends. We've played 2 years and still dont respect each others loots. Still makes me mad lol
after months of watching your content. im finally subbed
Ive gone beyound slid jumping. I've begun slid jumping into another immediate slide (at least for a split sec at the peak of the movement on the sec slid). I then break the slid by sprinting again I dont know if it actually keep your speed but i must say it feels like it each time i do. I dont know if its more practical and beneficial then spamming regular slid jumping. But feels fun doing since im limited by movement on my controller.
as an average mokey enjoyer, I can say all the movement based tips are very true and VERY valuable if you are good enough at them
For eye exercises, does it have to be on the monitor you normally play on or could it be on the phone, something to do doing a short break?
Love the tips. I always try to apply what you talk about about but it's kinda hard when 85% of players think there gods of Apex in pub insta-die and log out. I win one or two matches a day cause I get with randoms that know what team work is and I play five to six hours a day. Need to campaign for teamwork hard Ottr
4:19 that’s a nice peacekeeper you’ve got their
I love your tips and I consider the pro tips for sure but I've been playing apex for 3 to 4 years now lol I hope new players see your videos and become better teammates much love ❤️💯
Game came out in 2020 lmaooo
@@puregold3061 no it didn't
Not a bad starter vid. Love the no COD camping which goes in hand with shield health. Leads to when to do either. Idk if you have a vid on that. But you got a like man!!!!! Great vid voice as well, easy to hear 🙉 I need easy-to-understand voices in tutorials and why I put the compliments below cause they're massive
This is great content!
About warming up aim, using the firing range before playing always helped me, but recently i just jump into two rounds of arenas before going into BR. Helps warm up massively.
Gr8 video ottr 👍👍👍❤️
5:30 Yeah...most players still don't understand and respect pinging where you're landing and splitting off before landing
The best advice anyone can give in this game is just have patience. It can and will win you fights. It does 2 things; first it allows your opponent to outposition themselves for you. The second, it allows for team fire. One of the biggest mistakes I see my teammates make is when they are holding the same piece of cover as the enemy. They will almost always try to ego push the other side where I dont have LOS on the opponent instead of just waiting where they are. In this situation they die way more often than they win (Randoms and squad alike) to "3rd party" or in actuality the teammate who waited for my guy to turn the corner. This applies in many situations, if comms are an option even if they arent speaking (if the icon is there, they can hear you) it is worth asking someone to look for you that way you can set up the team fire
4:18 is no-one gonna talk about his peacekeeper being an r-301
Ty for pointing them out
I'm always the one to look behind during a match to check for third parties/other squads which means I'm the first to notice them sometimes before they notice us but half the time they show up like 5 seconds after I just checked (I ain't gonna play a scan legend)
the egg timer rule! yes!! not enough people do that. There gets a point where the fight is just a stalemate, no one is making moves. All your doing is being a ticking a timebomb for a 3rd party to roll up on you and wipe the squad. And please, with the new storm, just be a bit smarter taking fights. No point when you just wiped a squad, not fully reset, running to make circle and decide to run out of the way and start a new fight.
for #3 and slide jumping the fastest way to keep doing it, is by looking at your hands. for example if you have wraiths heirloom, when her left hand moves up twice you can slide jump once again, without an heirloom when your hands alternate twice you can slide jump (1, 2, 3, 4).
Good tip, granted you'll still occasionally deadslide just cuz reasons.
@@Meowthix you shouldn’t unless you superglide or edge slide, but i still dead slide cause i suck:p
I always die to 3rd party’s either right after we finish a duo or recovering from it any tips ??
Thanks dude
sadly or goodly (if that expression exists), i know all you said and i use them when i play, ofc not always because some of them are like "tryhard" things and most of the time i want to chill and get a bunch of kills just because i move well and shoot very well most of the times, unfortunately not always can say i shoot very well XD triple take mode shotgun between 5 and 10 meters range still make me bad results (hipfire, because ADSing most of the time get you lasered), the main problem with hipfire in some weapons is that i cant use a custom crosshair, the crosshairs a lot of the times are too wide open and makes it harder to center the enemy inside it.
I'm surprised how many people don't know about these things. but I guess it's good because it indicates that more and more new players coming to play this game
1:33 in the vid and i can give u a tip… when u pop a phoenix or medkit w octane, stim before it goes off😂.
This is actually very helpful for my performance in game. I rarely do any map planning so this will help exponentially
One huge thing that im glad i no longer do is tunnel vision, i would always tunnel vision my fights. It for sure makes a huge difference and it was easy to stop doing it
Keep your camera on head hight or at least chest height if you can. 8:28 Ammo will always show up even if your teammate has 400 backup ammo
Hey Ottr! Are you still offering coaching sessions?
The easiest thing is positioning and being very aware of where teams are and going to be. However that isn't the same for my team mates and since I'm an absolutely dedicated team player I mentally stay with my team no matter what shitty position they choose. Because in the end of the day it won't matter because they won't listen to nobody but themselves and die alone. At least they won't die alone as long as I can keep up with them for when they wanna run across map away from their team mates in RANKED. Masters/Pred lobbies btw.
I swear the better the rank of a player the worse of a teammate they are.
Learning each gun made me leagues better than what I used to be. I used to look primarily for a wingman/r99 combo, but now I have a lot of viable options.
volt, car, flatline, **r301** eva i, peacekeeper, havoc, g7 scout, these are all very good weapons. r301 is the ultimate beginner weapon as its good all around and has easy recoil
I don't know how to match them once I pick out the first weapon.. that's what keeps me slow during looting..
Hi hope everyone’s having a good day and having fun in apex!
love you Ottr, and thank you for todays video you make me a better apex player/teammate each and everyday.
For me personally, pick a main. It may get difficult with all the play styles and especially if you watch the pros and just want to replicate what you saw… but picking up 2-3 main characters you’re good with can really help your team dynamics and your situational awareness to know when and how to use an ability. Nothing wrong with playing multiple characters, but it definitely can help. Not even to mention how your aim can be a little off if you switch between characters with a very decent height difference often (i.e. new castle vs lifeline)
Also it can be mad annoying when a teammate just doesn’t know when to use an ability because they don’t play the character enough. Playing with wattson when youre use to characters like bloodhound or bangalore, just because you died and think changing your character will make you play better will probably do the opposite. All I’m saying is play with 2 or 3 a bit more than the rest lol or play other legends in pubs and have main legends for ranked. Just be a lil consistent when grinding.
I agree. Have 2-3 legends that you are good at. I always try a new legend, just to get a feeling of how it plays and then go back to my main. Just not to forget how everyone plays, I do the required legend for the daily quest and then go on to my Caustic/Watson/Loba. :D
For the slide jumping, look at your hands. Once your left hand goes down and comes up 3 times your at max speed and can slide jump the best
Where is that ads to hip fire gun list u made?
If you stand still and listen carefully, you can faintly hear keyboard clacking from a replicator, locate its direction and open your map. Whatever replicator is in that direction you can assume there is a team there. Not very useful but it works.
You can see on screen when someone is crafting nearby too. So follow the clicks and you'll soon know if someone is at the replicator.
I'm a fairly good player and I still learned a fair bit from this cheers for the tips
when i play with my friendsi always have someone use mirage, and we're guarding a position and a team comes, we usually have a wraith go out and scout shit out, then once they close in, me, the revenant, uses my ult (thats why i always have 2 ult acc) on top of the roof or somewhere safe. then the mirage uses his decoy to bait the team into the building while i am sitting on top of the door. once the mirage is inside, he uses his ult to distract the enemie. we make sure to shoot from the same direction (door), so the team has less a chance to notice me on the top of the door.
my pub teammates need this
What’s ur stats each game I didn’t see anything over 2 kills and 800 dmg
Also keep it up ottr!
“Looking around while dropping is helpful to notice enemy teams” Laughs in valk main
Wow thanks in just playing ranked and I'm enjoying competitive apex! I'm gold 1 half way through it's my first time actually playing it I'm lvl 506 but I find this guide helpfull!
Once you find yourself in plat you WILL have to adjust from the pub mentality you probably have to continue to succeed. Not trying to be rude at all. Plat is kind of the point nowadays where, to climb at least, you need decent mechanics and game knowledge. Pubs tend to not really teach any game knowledge.
@@Meowthix I'm all ready adjusted and I'm not rude I allways help my teammates 😁!
@@Ale_Sasu The not trying to be rude was more intended so you didn't feel offended by the comment. Plenty of people when they start off in ranked will hit gold4 or so and then hit a wall as it requires a different playstyle after that. You can treat low rank like pubs with how low RP entry cost is. Plat+ just becomes a different ballgame. You'll do fine though. Get that diamond trail.
@@Meowthix Thanks for the tips
Gl with all the preds lol
I hate that I already do some of these, unlike some teammates I get paired with and theres always that one guy/team that laser me before I could even think 😂
My aim may suck, but I'm in gold because I already do many of these things in Ottr's video above. I can probably get back to plat (s12 was my peak) if I work on a couple of the ones I don't do since I'm probably going to break even at gold 3 with my current skill level. Also if my aim becomes more consistent that'll help too. What I do: 1 (need to improve but better than average from my experience), 2, 3 (definitely haven't "truely mastered" but I know I can leave POIs in gold 10 secs after my teammates and still catch up to them given around a 300m trek), 5 (why don't people do this??), 7 (I end up taking jumpmaster 60~80% of the time in solo queue so you kinda need to do this if you want more consistent placements), 8 (when I'm not jumpmaster obviously, even then I ping where I want to personally land), 11 (honestly probably need to main a weapon combo better cause I just go with the flow with weapons), 12. By working on my awareness and positioning in fights I bet I won't even need to aim better. I have no proof of this but I do aim more consistently under lower mental expectations of my abilities. So just making the game easier for myself should theoretically make me aim better, or at least, more consistently. Cheers Ottr!
If you struggle with aim it's usually recoil control. With 0 FPS experience prior to Apex this was my biggest hurdle to overcome myself. I'm still not the best by a large margin but i'm insane with my flicks and trigger control. Weapons like PK, Sentintel, Wingman (with a bit of patience) may just be better options for you and when you learn how to play a fight in a burst fashion you can start doming people that would otherwise just beam you down.
@@Meowthix I have about 4-5k hours In various fps. It has gotten a lot better but it has to do with the way the eye part of hand eye coordination. I've been having a lot of success by using lower powered scopes to train my eye to see the center of my target, but it is slow going. Also sometimes my recent meds mess with my vision a little. All in all, I see slow improvement.
@@tawlney Honestly i'm just pictuing a game awhile back where i rounded a corner, saw a quite visible neon pink skinned valk running at me straight and just didn't register it as a player until a teammate popped out from behind a rock and started shooting at me. There was no excuse, I saw the Valk, like clearly, my brain just no worked. IDK how TF I hit and climb through diamond.
Learn to smooth aim
gun run is a perfect warmup and trainer since you have to use weapons you normaly dont use. It made me better, sad its not a permanent mode
Great Video keep it up 👍
you aint even watch the video 😒
Nice! Now i just need to learn How to aim 👍
I main revenent so that's dope
Keep it locked !
I’m a diamond and you are right but one is wrong being far from your team is bad sometimes you have to be far so if you crack or kill some people they can come and save/revive you
i slide to the left, jump, then slide to the right when i reload and i cant find cover
5:13 looked around too much and missed the ledge 😂
I've been playing a lot with randoms and I'm impressed how little people slidejump, I guess hundreds of hours on titanfall 2 just make me want to do it
Day 2 of asking ottr to try and master the rev wall crawling technique and do a vid about it
@ottr Is your coaching free?
Dude I’m so pissed, I just had a wraith game where I was 6 damage of a 4k in ranked… so close
4:17 did he just reload the R301 with the PK equipped???
Woah 😳
I’m a decent player no dedicated main. But my problems lie in movement. I never remember to move while I shoot or crouch spam stuff like that. Any tips for movement beginners with decent gun skill
Honestly there is no “tip” for that just try to remember to do it and eventually it will stick
Never thought about drinking the battery
I have mp3 format s and i want to make it puncNice tutorialer plzz help buddy
The last tip for me is actually the opposite. Going cold without training almost guarantee me to secure at least top 3 in the first 3 rounds, a win if im lucky. And its all downhill from there. Just like my life lmao
Facts. I actually think thats an intentional game design by respawn. Let you get a win right away, then give you nothing but losses after so that you chase that high of winning in the 1st game. Its called player retention. I personally think its bullshit, and that the sbmm in apex is some of the worst Ive ever seen in a game. Period.
It's amazing how often I slide jump compared to my random even just while moving across the map, I get like 1 slide jumping random every 10 games maybe, and my sbmm is pretty bad so my team mates are inconsistent
Really? I picked up slide jumping just because I saw one guy doing it one time and after, I tried it and it was faster. And then from that, I figured out ledge boosting and taking advantage of hills and all that. Seems like it would just come naturally by gold
what is your crosshair?
My biggest tip is to stay on high ground until you’ve knocked at least 1 legend on the opposing side. Stick close to teammates. Lastly, don’t think you need the amount of ammo you’re carrying (multiple stacks for automatic weapons) opt for more heals!
I once filled my entire inventory with shotgun ammo for a joke.. Definitely didn't need a fourth of it
That last one, doing some kind of warmup, even just firing range has helped me massively. Only just started doing it and am no longer wasting matches to warmup
I have a tip going with tip number 3 something you may not have known either ottr, IF you pull out your weapon right before u slide jump you’ll have it midair and have enough time to reholster if needed, this is really useful and could be used when going around corners, certain guns have a bad handling and it doesn’t work the only one I noticed this with is the devotion.
I’m doing this mid video
Also another side tip with octane you can bunny hop heal if you atom you played earlier than me you know what I’m talking about with that it’s the exact same it only works with octane the 10% speed difference is enough to make it or break it
what is your reticle?
Does anyone else have the same problem where the little guy tht shows when ur teammates need something never shows up? I’ve tried deleting the game and re installing and nothing. If anyone else had this problem and fixed it let me know? Im on pc
3000 hours in the game and still watching those videos because you never know everything and sometimes it's a good reminder to watch videos of stuff you already know.
Agreed
I think I’ve been playing this game for about 3 years and never knew about #12 wow.
I play surprisingly well when cold lol
here's a tip for you ottr, i saw at 4:44 when you went to sprint away and look at your inventory and opened up the Steam overlay. This use to happen to me in games a lot, so i changed the keybind in the Steam settings to Shift/tilde (~), the button right above tab. And it has helped tremendously! The only problem is that i think Shift/~ is the keybind for discord overlay by default. I turn mine off but i know others like it, so perhaps a different keybind for that.
Good eye
I always pay attention to know what my teammates are doing I just find it hard to follow them as they always make the dumbest place and I don't see the point and me dying just so we can stay together as a team
I'm not a diamond or masters but I do all of these and I'm a master of movement
Aaaand tip 11 Kraber is Pog
I am a firm believer in no warmup. My first game is my most cracked game of the night 8/10 times, and I'm not wasting that in pubs or the firing range lmao
