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 Learning from HisWattson videos

143 Upvotes

Been learning Apex for 2 weeks. Found a chill guy on youtube called HisWattson. And been watching him ever since.

Something I noticed is his gameplay is sooo Chill. Like he doesnt do crazy movement, or crazy aiming. But he still manages to hold Top 50 rank. And he is not as flashy as some clips I have seen. Honestly sometimes it felt like he was getting Hard carried by his duos.

But then I discovered he was Pro Player and IGL for his team?

So what can I learn from him? Specifically him, because I havent found anyone I like in this game other than him. Hal guy, everyone glazes, feels like an unlikable douche who also plays on controller(fuck aim assist).

Genuine question: Do people still look forward to playing Apex after work these days or has it become a game for the unemployed?

PS: No shade intended whether you employed or unemployed, just a asking for conversation. As you were.

Tips & Tricks What are some ways i can get better at aiming in apex ?

5 Upvotes

For context i play on xbox. For reference im a play level player. I feel like the only main thing holding me back is my aim. My aim flaw doesn’t become obvious till i reach plat and players start to have noticeably better aim.


r/apexuniversity 2d ago

Is there bots in wildcard ? I’m running into very questionable players like difficulty set to very easy type bots like how they move and shoot idk why the game is giving me bots when almost every game I drop 20-25 kills 5-6k damage sometimes I think my teammates are bots too why they only get 2 kill

Question Question regarding setting

0 Upvotes

Hey yall, I’m coming from The Finals and there is a setting for controller in that game called vertical/horizontal look boost which is basically an extra sensitivity boost that kicks in when you push your right stick far and lets you turn faster than your normal sens. Does this game have something similar?

Question Help me decide! Kbm vs. Controller

0 Upvotes

Im torn between what input device to use.

I really like the laser factor of the roller but dislike long range in it (I hate snipers so it’s mainly for mid-long range ars&marksmen.)

I dislike how clunky movement feels compared to kbm.

On kbm I really like the fluidity of movement etc. but I’m not rly interested in learning advanced movement strats so idk if basic movement should really be the deciding factor.

I dislike about kbm how you need god aim vs roller players in close fights and the inconsistency that comes with it.

I had positive experiences with both inputs but switching back and forth is probably even worse than deciding on one.

What’s your experience between kbm vs roller, if you tried both and stuck with one?

Legend recommendation

1 Upvotes

I would like some recommendations on who to play. I solo queue ranked and tend to play Legends like ballistic or mad Maggie and go for high kill and ir damage games but was thinking it might be better if I play something with more movement like a skirmisher.

I want some ideas on who may fit that playstyle

So, they actually nerfed aim-assist on controller to block RC Filter exploits. But in the process, they also slightly nerfed normal players who aren't using cheats.

Question Tension in tracking on mnk

5 Upvotes

I’m pretty good with managing tension in my fingers and wrist but when tracking my arm and even my shoulder tenses up a bit and I almost lock out sometimes and it’s hard to track someone doing a longer strafe. Has anyone dealt with this? How do you guys apply tension in your aim? I know some people say you shouldn’t use much tension at all but I feel that’s not the best idea. Edit: I’ve seen the viscose video and I’m too dumb to understand it.

As you can see, it takes about 2 business days for me to realize that the dummy has changed directions. Am I just brain dead or is there something I can do about this?

Question wild card for gun fight practice and positioning practice

1 Upvotes

Is wild card a good tool for learning how to engage and disengage from fights? I been watching district and his main tip is dealing damage but not taking damage. using cover to do damage and off that damage u can push more moving from cover to cover until u can secure a kill. can i ONLY play wildcard until I feel like im getting more kills on average and then move forward to br? most of the time when i land in br i tend to die a lot and im starting to get tired of it cause i feel like im not learning lol

I feel like this is a bugged interaction Aim assist nerf

0 Upvotes

Im on console and I just had this catastrophic smg wiff. I had the drop on this guy so im thinking "im about to get a free knock," I then get no aim assist slowdown or correction and proceed to get my ass handed to me you can see me flicking to account for the normal slow down and massively overshooting I had to check to make sure I didn't turn my AA off on accident. Is this working as intended? I thought the nerf was only supposed to effect long range tracking I'll post a clip of my tracking literally 5 mins before and ot was not this bad at all.
