Habits Holding You Back in Apex Legends 

Needs a video on dropping and breaking off.. to many times you end up in a bad situation because of a bad randoms drop. OR they don’t break off and steal all the loot you intend to grab on the drop. Inevitably screwing you over. As well as RATTING doesn’t work this season

My wife's favorite phrase when I ask why she wide swung = "I thought I had it" 😂😂😂

"Get comfortable with less". Preach dude...as someone who mostly solo queues, I cant count the number of times my teams been full killed b/c somebody was off looting or spending too much time looking for that one piece of loot they had to have.

My bad habit is chasing down an Octane player and trying to be a good teammate. Only to find out that once he goes down by a three stack, he just to leave the game.

Regarding looting: I totally agree with most of what you said - but I think people also need to hear that you DO need SOME loot to fight most effectively. When I solo queue, I often have a teammate who won't back off even after one (or all) of us are out of ammo and/or heals and shields. In extended fights, sometimes just cutting your losses, looting up again, and reengaging is actually the best bet - especially if it seems your enemies still have ammo so you can't get close to melee. I've just had too many randoms screaming "COWARD" after I told them we're entirely out of ammo in the area and have to back off.

This is a great video, I moved from cod for BF1 then played only Apex since launch. I’m in my 40’s and all my buddies still only play COD, I think APEX is genuinely intimidating to those that haven’t played and don’t have much time to game. I just wish they’d give it a shot…I solo Q and whilst it has its rewards through its challenges I’d love to 3 stack with pals

mango is the main creator helping me get back into apex after a two year break. Thank you!

One of my worst habits is always trying to finish knocked enemies causing me to get knocked😢

My biggest problem with the game is that if i dont have my favorite guns for close range, like a havok, r99, or prowler, I feel lost.

the tip where you mention that people need to be calm in high stress situations is the reason i stuck with apex. when i first started playing apex i liked it but i really stuck wit hit for how intense the game can get. i love it when its the final circle and theres explosions going on everywhere from a bangalore ultimate or a fuse q, theres 4 squads all shooting at each other its just pure chaos and everybodies screaming trying to be heard. ITS SO LIT!!!! those are my favorite

As someone who solo ques, getting comfortable with less doesn’t always work out for me. I’ll wipe an entire squad off drop with maybe 40 rounds to my name and no heals cause I use them all during the fight only to rez my two downed teammates who then proceed to steal all the loot I worked for. And if I loot before I Rez I’ll get chirped at by my two downed teammates who didn’t contribute to the fight at all. After experiencing this for so many games I’ve learned that my life is more important then my randoms lives I’ll loot up everything I need before I help teammates now and if they don’t like it they can leave😊

I come across alot of players in lower ranks (gold/plat and below) who don't know how to take advantage of their advantages in a fight (when they crack a shield or get a knock). Average players don't know how to close gaps and finish fights with their advantages and either lose that advantage (and then the fight) or take too long and get partied. Good players see an inch and take a mile; they see an opportunity and full swing it to their advantage and end fights quickly. Teamwork and desicive decision-making is key. Inexperienced players get a crack or a knock and run away or linger too long. That's a skill that good players use to win a lot of their fights; it's way more than just shooting straight.

would love a loot breakdown from ur pov; been following the channel since i got into apex and you talk about tips involving looting less and being comfortable with less a lot but something more detailed wld be stellar

In ranked I like to keep a very narrow weapon/legend pool. A lot of players like to mix is up but the easiest way to improve is using 3-4 weapons max and maybe 2 legends over and over again so you master them

What I been working on swinging wide with cover. And I noticed that I finish more fights and win games crazy. Thanks for the tips!!

Appreciate this banger of a video. Helped me realize I need to work on my awareness to capitalize on entry damage and to be mindful of swinging too wide/not using cover.

lately ive been focusing on my breathing more as i play and it helps so much to reduce stress and panic, makes me feel more calm and focused which = better plays.

Ive een playing since launch and i find this super informative for all players

Haven’t watched the video- about to. But me and my teams bad habit is looting way too long after a fight. I need to prioritize looting quick and moving on. I don’t need to check every box - do I have ammo? Batts? Meds? Okay good moving on. I don’t need to find that blue stock lol I’ll get it next gun fight.

Very good tips. Thx

Much love to ur channel over the seasons I’ve been improving as a player by watching ur content ❤❤❤

0:04 1. Not using abilities enough 2:41 2. Not capitalizing on damage in your favor 5:22 3. Panicking/mindset 6:58 4. Not using cover/swinging wide 9:31 5. Not keeping up with the state of the game/patch notes 11:54 6. Overlooting

4:45 "Is there another enemy team that can make you pay for pushing?" YES! THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES!

Tip one: have teammates who actually play the game.....instead of the random piles of human garbage I get well over 99% of the time 😂😂

I keep up with patch notes and changes but now realize I don’t change the way I play. I still play like it’s season 0-4.. I need to take a second to find out what works now not what used to work. Thanks for that tip.

"Missing the forest for the trees." shit hits hard at 4:13am

Would love a video on looting, looting paths, and needing less. My main issue is how much ammo to carry in the start. I know that only having 20 rounds is going to get me killed and then there is 100ish round with some weapons isn't enough for me.

yes definitely make a video about over looting and inventory management would help me a lot

Real useful tips. I felt that about not capitalizing on damage I do to enemies

One thing I’ve noticed about the way I play as I’ve gotten somewhat decent over the years, is taking advantage of the other players panicking, example would be say a supply bin, you and another player both grab a gun and he turns to empty is clip into you (they all do) so instead of challenging I just play the angles behind the bin until his clip is empty, then I just grapple to the other side of it and drop him before he can even turn around (3 million+ damage pathy main here) so all these tips are super viable but I’d say the not panicking is essential

thank you I am new and this really helps!

Cover is always the hardest for me to be disciplined about

Team mates over looting is so frustrating. I’m in a battle and the are opening boxes.

Great advice!

Love your videos of in depth explanation bro. However, I would love to see a video on how can you play caustic aggressively and also not taking too much damage. I love to play caustic and he is the only legend that I love to play. Somehow I take too much damage whenever I have to be in a gun fight so it will be great to see a video of explanation on playing as caustic.

Bro ur videos are so awesome and so helpful I love u so much❤❤❤ Keep it up mango!!!🔥🔥🔥

Over looting so often results in you just being a juicy loot delivery box for an enemy team.

One thing abt cover you can use your downed enemies as cover typically players like to pull out there knock down shields cause they don’t wanna be thirsted I’ve been using this more in fights and it’s helped take less damage and secure more kills it’s way more useful than you think it can be

I'm going to focus more on cover. Thanks!

My main issue is getting tunnel vision in fights and beelining it to enemies and usually I'm on my own and get downed in a 1v2 or 1v3 lmao

“Missing the forest for the trees” Super great video and really well said

What's holding me back is 30fps and potato quality graphics 💀

good to see so much Havoc gameplay, that gun is so slept on.

Would love a video on positioning and rotating vs. ratting; a lot of people think that's the same thing when it's not.

The biggest thing I see new players struggle with is loot distribution, if I see my teammate is even half a second ahead of me trying to loot something I'll loot a different spot but so often I see teammates fighting for loot then both of them won't barely get any loot. Another thing I see that drives me crazy is new players trying to just use snipers, they will be sooo far from their teammates just poking people and that rarely will help your team or get u kills. The biggest tip I tell people that applies to a lot of games really is "be proactive not reactive" for example don't wait for an opportunity to get a kill or escape from a bad situation make that opportunity possible for u

Good info as usual

Awesome tips. Cant stress these enough. Dont ego chall everything.Don't be greedy. Whether it be stealing loot or thirsting for absolutely no reason. This game has a high ttk for a reason. It's like chess. My advice is treat it like so. Learn to take angles and how to make angles. When to take advantage of pushing or when pushing is a no bueno. Every body makes mistakes. Just remember to learn from them.

Very great video🔥

Please do a series on how to do team roles. How to anchor, how to frag, support, igl, etc

Amazing tips in the video time to take my apex game to the next level

Honestly wish I could have you coach me, trying to learn from your videos but putting it into practice is my downfall. Love your work

do you have a video on early, mid and late game analysis. I often find myself just following my teammate or goofing off in early and mid games. Late games I know what to do because there are less variables and it's pretty straight forward. The best strategy I have for early and mid games is to take a poi in the map and hold it till it's out of circle. Or follow the sound of fights. I've seen some people follow the edge of the ring. But I only do that when I'm the only one left on my team and I can't get them back.

The ability one is soo true,.. i think we can all say that we have encountered a “teammate” who did not use their abilities enough (or at all) which resulted in a loss

Hmm. I always knew I was doing something wrong...😂 Thanks for this banger, Mangos

I want a video on how to counter or adapt to the movement from high level players.. I can do well in fights where I usually come out on top, but then I'll see a Wraith who's cranking 90's and one clipping me with a kraber. It would be helpful if you made a video for new-ish players who have to deal with the strafing and wall jumping players

As a Caustic main myself all of these tips are amazing. But I have to point out for all 6 some counterpoints that maybe people can help with. 1. As a controller legend, fortifying a building is great until it isnt. If you are on say Broken Moon or out in the open on Storm Point, with the exception of Catalyst your abilities are almost useless. Putting up an amped wall, gas trap or fence in the clear open or behind the 2 rocks in the area, is very weak in comparison to going up against Skirmisher legends. So I struggle to see how being mindful of abilities when they happen to have little utility can help. 2. Pushing damage. How do you move off of damage as a controller or support legend if your squad isnt going to back you up? We've all seen the famous Wraith, Octane and Revenant solo push. But then they blame you for not supporting the bad situation that occurred from capitalizing on that opportunity. Now imagine a Wattson or Caustic solo push 1v3. Without ult that is very hard to get the jump on. 3. Panic is normal especially on hot drop. But alot of situations having a level head isnt going to win a 1v6. Only thing you can do is take it as a learning experience for how to avoid the disadvantage. 4. I love the swing from cover tips. Especially for legends that can create cover. Again getting caught out in the open with a single gas trap as cover is lobby though. 5. Game state. I have a very good awareness of the state in the match. However especially in pubs, teammates do not. And get caught holding an area for too long, behind the ring or just blindly engaging in bad fights. Meta is also important to keep up on but sometimes I struggle to follow the constant weapon meta when sometimes it is a single mod that changes the performance. 6. Overloot is bad. But dropping and getting a single mag on P2020 isnt exactly a suitable start. Especially since getting weapons on drop isnt as common as well depending on the season. Overall great tips but still need more ways to survive, engage and learn without obliterating my KD pushing squads with base shields like 90% of the teams are doing.

Dope video. Hard to communicate this to teammates

Swinging wide isn't always a bad thing it just depends which legend you're playing. Pathfinder for example is very good at swinging wide and backraping/knocking people that don't expect it and if they spot him he can grapple back for free

I really wished respawn adds were you get get KP for knocks, so annoying when you get four knocks and zero profit

bad habits can form even in the best of players! its good to take a step back and listen to someone with outside perspective or someone thats recently dropped their own bad habits

about point #3 try box breathing i.e. breath in nose 4sec, hold breath 4sec, exhale through mouth 4sec. i had problems with hands shaking so hard i can't aim in last ring situations, box breathe when you feel the pressure rising and it keeps your body calm

My issue is the looting part. I like to have enough ammo and heals to last one 3v3 fight. Imo that like 100 rounds of usable ammo. You can't guarantee that who youre facing isnt good at manuevering.

I would love a video on inventory management

I uninstalled the game after playing every week for 2 years. The game has gotten too fast, and notion of playing casually is gone. Things happen at 1.7x the speed they should. This video game is truly for try hards and sweats only now. I had a moment where 2/3 of my squad got stunned, flashed, damaged, and burned by a Maggie ball and deleted in about 5 seconds. I said to myself this isn't normal for a shooter game. On top of every post 2023 addition being terrible: Catalyst, Broken Moon, Nemesis, Rev, Conduit, Ballistic. Ciao Apex.

I think the thing holding me back the most in apex is not using a XIM or ZEN and also playing a non meta legend. If you want to be good at apex these days you need both of those for sure.

I've been watching you for 2 days and realise how much you say "Make you/them pay"😂😂

13:09 That would actually be helpful, would love it

I'm a Caustic main too been since season 1 but tell that my randoms who push like morons and then cry when they're killed 😂

it's difficult to take advantage of damage you and your team are doing if you're playing solo, 0 comms and nobody follows you even if you hit 2 people for 130 each then try to push you end up running into a 3v1 and dying. one of the main reasons 3 stacks dominate because they are screaming at other information and calls

Love your videos they're really on point. The problem i face though is occasionally everything clicks in place great, but then game after game I'm playing against ppl who just massively outclass me. Don't get me wrong i know im not a good player and the answer is practice practice practice, but i play casually and don't want to turn a fun thing into basically a second job. Sorry just venting.

I really enjoyed this video

Listen regarding the final point i get it BUT. I am using LMG weapons like spitfire because my Aim sucks! Sucks to the point of my bullets might actually heal you instead of damaging you. So to counter this weakness i am always looking for weapons with big magazines so when i am emptying my entire magazine on you i have cracked your shield and left you with 10% HP and my teammates can finish you off.

Definitely make a video on looting I’m so bad at it

You have received my sub

Would you be able to make a video for gun play? I can't seem to hit my shots. Best sensitivity? Etc?😊

Can you make a video on how to push a fight off initial damage from sniper/marksman distance

A looting break down would be very helpful

Can I get help with positioning? I swear I should just do the opposite of where I think I should go. I’m either late to the party and don’t help, or I get caught out between cover.

Yes please do an inventory video

My friends I play with are too stuck to using snipers and NEVER pushing. It’s rough.

Need some tips on playing solo which is 99% of my apex playtime. I always try and play close-ish to my team mates but they're either a lower skill level or very high and leave when they've been downed. Not even sure why I play anymore 😂

Hey Mango, could you make a video explaining the difference of controller playstyle vs mnk playstyle?

Having this video for lunch is amazing Pd: make the video about the inventory

An example of not keeping up, I just found out about the 5 map 😅 3 days ago

Okay off topic but that fuse clip was Absolutely diabolical😭 if dat happend to me I wouldn't touch the game for the rest of the week💀

It's not so much bad habits holding me back but all the bugs cheaters and game crashes that occur on a daily basis that's the real problem with Apex

A lot of what you said here isn't even really about apex and more about just thinking tactically in general and being a functional person 😂 I find it funny because a lot of people need the advice you're giving for their daily life not just for the game

What's holding me back is my teammates, hope people who que ranked see this video. People i get matched whit push 24/7 even whit 0 shields and hits 10 dmg blames me more people who is in the same boat ?

Great advice....should have explained how to achieve "Zero" recoil like your game clips.

Impatient teammates that leave early knowing you have to work double time because they got downed by starting a fight right after landing with not enough ammo

One more thing: use and use grenades correctly All 3 types of grenades in the game are useful and strong in their own way. They are like an additional ability for your legend, which allows you to gain time or position, finish off the enemy and more Most players either do not use them at all, or do so uselessly, discarding them and not gaining any advantage from them. A properly thrown grenade, at the right time, is a huge contribution towards victory

great video, but I miss the skate clips at the end

Bangalore mains take notes on the first one because there no reason to pop a smoke on one enemy and there's 3 of use no reason at all

More of these talks is what we need for the gaming community…😂❤

i have great mechs like able to beat top 200 apex pred friends on a regular basis in 1v1s but in battle royale i struggle with placement in fights and how to take them instead of just rushing in. do u have any tips for players like me?

yo which do you think is better bloodhound or bangalore in general?

I would love a video about communication. I'm trying to play with 2 very good friends BUT somehow our comms suck badly... And I don't know how I can fix it, I've tried everything Greetings from Germany🎉

I have been playing since season 8, but this season I feel like an absolute noob 😂. I'm sure it's because I am making stupid mistakes, but it just seems like I have gotten worse over a short period of time honestly.

I'm new to this Game , Do you have a video that shows each legend abilities ?????

Why do your grenades aim further. Mine is usually interrupted by the ult display. Is there a setting that all pros use or soemthing?
