Apex Legends is best known for becoming a huge hit right after its launch. The game was very quick to garner a huge user-base and received largely positive reviews from most people who played it. If you are just starting out with the game, or are not able to score that well, here are some tips and tricks that will help you:

Make use of different characters
One thing that makes Apex Legends unique is its cast of characters. Each of the characters in the game has a passive ability and a tactical ability that they can activate. We recommend that you give all the characters a try and see which one fits your style the most. And use your character’s ability, that is how you’ll know who you like playing as.
Identify what’s worth going after
Like most battle royale games, Apex Legends gives you an array of items that you can go after. However, there is a colour-coding that it uses that will help you differentiate between the value of these items. The items on the game will be coloured in White, Blue, Purple and Gold. While the Gold items are the best ones that you can get, Purple, Blue and White follow (in the same order). Although Gold and Purple will mostly provide you with the same armor, the difference will be that the Gold one will come with additional perks.
Pay attention to coloured numbers when you attack
Whenever you shoot an enemy, you will see a coloured number pop up. In Apex Legends, the colour of the number will always match the colour of the armor the enemy has. Additionally, Red numbers indicate that your enemy does not have armor and Yellow indicates a headshot.
Carry different kinds of weapons
This is a staple rule of every battle royale. Most of these games provide users with a number of weapons to choose from and Apex Legends is no exception. You will find weapons like handguns, shotguns and sniper rifles. Once you drop, you will have to make do with whatever you can find first. However, as the game progresses, we recommend you to find weapons that complement each other.
Know the ammo type of your weapon
Each weapon has its own specific ammo type and is colour coded, so you can identify them easily. The brown weapons including pistols, SMGs, and smaller rifles would have light ammo, while the green ones like assault rifles, snipers, and the Wingman hand cannon will have heavy ammo. Similarly, the shotgun shells are red and Yellow ones will have energy ammo. We recommend you not to keep two weapons of the same ammo type.
Remember that you can revive
The best way to win Apex Legends is to keep your three-man squad alive for as long as you can. However, if one of your teammates goes down because of losing their health, remember that he can still be revived. If you lost all your health and are down, you should crawl slowly to avoid danger and get closer to your teammates. But do remember to protect yourself with a knockdown shield while doing this. Another thing to remember is that the time to revive a team player who is down is limited, so others should act in time to do the necessary. If the player gets killed, and their teammate managed to pick up their banner in time, it can be brought to respawn beacon to resurrect them.
Communicate with your team
If you are comfortable with it, use voice chat as it is the quickest way to communicate with your team. However, if you are not, you the pinging system in the game, but do communicate with your teammates. It may sound minor, but it is one of the key things that make you win.
Use the map effectively
Another very important point that you must remember while playing Apex Legends is that using the map is a must. Also, since the circle starts shrinking over time, you will have to move around often and effectively in order to take the crown. Do look out for the red balloons on the map and use them to glide to other places quickly. Also, remember that there is no fall damage in the game. So even if you fall from a mountain, you will not be hurt.
Play smart
Unlike other battle royales, Apex Legends does not have too many players per game, so it is highly unlikely that you will get into a big fight right away. So, you can use this time to find weapons of your choice that suit your style of playing the game. Start attacking enemies once you are done looking for these weapons. Be aggressive when fighting your enemies, but remember to not be reckless. Attack or get attacked – this is the only thing that you should remember while playing Apex Legends.
Remember to dispose of weapons too
In Apex Legends, you have limited inventory space. So remember to review it regularly so that you can drop anything that you cannot use. However, if you do this, ping it to your teammates. What’s not useful to you may be useful for them.
