Re: Tips, Tricks and cool stuff.

  • You can drop decoys as mirage while you are still on the dropship! They will not be visible for you on screen, but when you then drop yourself you will see them!
  • As mirage, you can create decoys while on ziplines. Also when there is a little obstacle, jump and press the decoy, then the decoy will be launched over the obstancle
  • As Bloodhound, you can ping the clues you find on the map so your team mates can now about it!
  • When you are downed, try to get behind a door, because you can still open and close doors. This will make it more annoying for the enemies to get to you and gives you a slightly higher chance to not be finished!

I've got another set of Mirage tips! These are for his tactical ability only.

  • Only activate the decoy (tactical) when the enemy cannot see you. For example: from behind cover
  • If your decoy is shot from an enemy, you see their position for a brief period of time. Teammates can see this too.
  • Decoys will activate the gas traps of caustic, also revealing his position.
  • Sending your decoys into thermite grenades will also reveal the position of the enemy
  • You can send your decoy over a small obstacle by jumping and activating the tactical ability.
  • If you slide, your decoy will slide too. Makes it harder to distinguish between you and the decoy.

If you open your inventory you can ping an empty gun slot to say you need a gun, you can ping a gun to say you need ammo for that gun, if you go to the bottom you can ping a backpack, knock down shield, armor, or helmet to say that you need one, if you look at the bottom left of your inventory you can see your squad's equipped items, if you open up your healing items menu you can ping an empty shield battery or a med kit slot to say you need healing items, and you can ping an empty weapon attachment slot to say that you need that attachment.

You can share ammo without dropping your whole stack by left clicking the ammo in your inventory.
(Took me way too long before figuring it out)

Always take the high ground, You have more % to get headshots and it's harder to aim up then it is downwards.
Take that little advantage Embarrassed

Blame yourself, sounds maybe odd but watching your own replays could let you learn from your mistakes.

 

The Mozambique is not that bad.
Mozambique shines in close combat with a lot of walls and small entrances.
Because of it's high fire rate and low - medium damage it destroys other players when you are slippery.

Trow grenades from cover, this will weaken the enemy and make them panic.

When they are in cover jump on them and go for a easy clean up.

A sweet victory, a bit of a dirty play but it works. Embarrassed

 


This sort of tactic is exactly why camping towards the end of the game when you up against experienced squads does not work you're better off trying to engage other squads round cover so you have the possibility of flanking them then all hiding in one building especially if you're using Heroes with mobility

As Pathfinder:

 

- When your team engaging fight, look for option to flank the enemy. A good grapple can bring you behind them before they even notice it.

- When revive your teammate, use zipline back to the place your team die ( provided that the place is clear) it helps them retrieve back their equipment easily

- If your team has Pathfinder, it's a good idea to let him lead the way. Usually, a good pathfinder will bring you to the best spot of the circle.

- It's not necessary to stick closely with your squad, use grapple/zipline to gain gain higher view and spot enemies for them.

Re: Tips, Tricks and cool stuff.

Here are some general tips/tricks/knowledge

 

LOOT

  • Named areas on the map can be either Low, Mid or High tier loot zones. A certain area doesn't necessarily have to be 1 tier every single time, but it seems to be a game of chance. 
  • There are zones that are more probably to be higher tier zones. Check out this neat map website to find those areas: Apexmap.io
  • The blue zone that you see on the map when in the dropship is the only zone you can be sure about to have it an above HIGH tier lootzone.
  • Better gear and attachments have a higher chance to drop in High tier lootzones, but wingman/peacekeeper have a higher chance to drop in mid tier zones.
  • There are certain spots in Kings Canyon where there is a very high chance to spawn good stuff, such as the middle of the pit and the middle of the circle in Thunderdome. You can often find blue or purple armor here.
  • Ping whatever can be helpful for the team that you do not use. In the start, even extended mags level 1 can give your teammates an advantage.

GENERAL

  • If you through a grenade straight up in the air, it will always explode exactly when it touches the ground.
  • You can heal if you slide down hills.
  • Healing while standing against a close door will give you a bit more time to finish the heal before an enemy can break through.
  • Use the 'I will go here' when dropping from the dropship to let your team know that you are going to loot that location.
  • Traveling longer on the dropship and moving straighter down seems to be faster now than dropping earlier and moving more horizontal.

WEAPONS

  • Stocks for weapons will reduce the swap time for that weapon and will not make it more accurate.
  • Barrel stabilizers will reduce the recoil and make the weapon easier to control. The gold one also reduces muzzle flash.
  • Shotgun bolts do not change the recoil but increase the firing rate of the shotgun.
  • The first shot of many weapons is very accurate, even when firing from the hip.
  • Level 2 and Level 3 magazines also give a reduction in reload speed.

PATHFINDER

  • Scan the survey beacons just as the ring has closed in and you have moved into the next phase. This allows you to see one circle further.
  • You can scan the same survey beacon multiple times. You must wait until the current green circle is gone and you can scan again.
  • The grapple can attach to ziplines as well - if you do not detach, you will automatically connect to the zipline and ride it.
  • To cover more ground with the grapple, run and grapple a point in front above you. Then once it connects, look left or right. Your character will then go to the left or right a bit and you miss the original grapple point, making you detach and fly 10000km through the air.
  • You can stop the grapple at any point by pressing the crouch button.
  • If you move the mouse and continue adjusting the viewer during the connection time of the grapple, you will spin around the original point, allowing you to grapple, turn 180 degrees and fly back to your starting point.
  • In skull town, connect the grapple to the skeleton and see how easy it is to find cover or catapult yourself somewhere else.
  • If you do a good grapple and fly through the air, you can also start healing/shielding. That way, you are almost done with the healing once you touch the ground.
  • You can grapple enemies (just in case you didn't know!)

BLOODHOUND

  • The hints you see on screen can be pinged to your teammates.
  • You can ping the hints even if you are not close to them by looking through a scope

 

That is it for now!
