Aim down sights at every opportunity you can and aim for the shoulders/head area for the most consistency. you also need to lead your shots in a lot of cases (especially with the Peacekeeper). It's all skill, damage in this game is NEVER random. Every shotgun has a consistent spread with a specific pattern, peacekeeper has a star shape, Mastiff has a horizontal line, and the Mozambique has a triangle. Only the Mozambique and Mastiff spread get more accurate with aiming down sights. sorry to have a thesis pop up suddenly, but If you want to get better with shotguns this is something you want to know. Hope this helps, gl
This gameplay is soo crisp. That it surprises me on how much difficulty the journey to masters gave you. I think you need to play a good entry fragger with an edge comp and play with the same confidence.
That's some of the most beautiful gameplay of apex legends that I've seen in a long time, can't wait to see Alter being picked up by other great players
When you're in a deathbox menu and you try to take an item while your backpack is full, a small version of your backpack will be shown (then whichever item you left-click on will be replaced) I don't know if this is known by most people but- You can press right-click to drop an item even if it's a stack (like dragging off a stack of bullets to the edge of the UI).
Hey GamingMerchant I just got a PC and am switching to play Apex from the PS5 somehow my 165hz system can't get past 60FPS. I see you rocking that sweet 240 can you do a apex settings video? As a new PC player I have no idea how the settings are affecting me.
Funnest bug I’ve had with season 21. If your Valk and your flying in the air with passive and u go through a ulter ultimate, u can no longer fly the rest of the game :)
really nice to use alter to grab people behind cover, especially when theyre low/healing. dunno if people will eventually adjust, but as of right now people are super confused when they get yoinked through a wall.
Hi I don't know if you'll see this comment but I have a question. I watched of yours with how you use mouse wheel up on Rampart to take her walls down, and I've been using that keybind ever since, but with Alter if I to just slightly scroll wheel up to tap strafe I basically get rid of my ult. If you still use that keybind, how did you fix it?
@@lukaskavalek5591 I am assuming he is referring to how he glided into the wall; on controller you would sail past the wall except for the possibility you're playing Horizon.
If you feel like you're not doing good. Practice in the firing range on the targets, not the dummies. Use the Longbow with a 2X scope and practice hitting the center of the targets. Swap to another target every time you hit the center. Start slow then go faster as you get more accurate. It takes some time to get used to it but it will significantly help your reaction aim!
I’ve noticed this in your streams as well, but 5:17 - 5:22 is a perfect example of it. You are a pretty good player mechanically, dude. Your movement and decision making was pretty great in the game I timestamped(haven’t seen the rest yet). But at 5:17 you got into a closeup 1v1 and started completely whiffing your shots. Luckily in this instance, you still won the fight. But I’ve seen it so many times where you were killing it all game, maybe take out 2 people playing in a full squad, you’re still healthy, then while fighting the last player (especially up close. Almost exclusively up close) you just can’t track them and end up dying. I really think if you lowered your sense some that it’d make a big difference for you in close quarter fights. I don’t think you have any issue when it’s medium to long range. You don’t have to adjust the crosshairs nearly as drastically when fighting at distance. But up close you have to move the mouse quite a bit, and I think with your sense being so high, it is causing inaccuracy. If you watch the clips when you do die like that, most of the time you’re moving your mouse to track a player juking, but because the semse is what it is, it’s overshooting. Then you have to overcompensate to bring it back to line up another shot, and it just repeats. Anyways. Sorry for the pointless drawn out comment. I’ve been bored and just smoked a joint. Lol
Her pick rate seems quite high (normal for a new release) but it is mostly un unranked/bronze and browsing through streams I have seen very very few people playing her (other than yourself and a couple of others). Why do you think this is? She seems to be fun and strong, are people dismissing her too early or is it just the case of comp ppl just prefering to play the same thing theyve played for ages
In the first game you did some serious work with the mastiff but in the second game switch to the PK.. any reason for that?? Also was wondering why you never grabbed the blue PK!? 🤨😤😄😄
We need a ban wave now. People are blatantly teaming in solo. I'm gonna upload a clip in the next hours of two Horizon not fighting each other and coordinataly pushing me(and others). We need to ban this players. It's ridiculous that things like this keep happening but they always get away with it.
Hey, u can void nexus while knocked, idk if this is a one time glitch but I was knocked and the void nexus open portal option appeared and when I pressed it, it activated the portal
Yeah Altar is great dude, nice cool abilities completely different, new playstyle, can do new cool different plays. I like her, shes cool, really strong too. I don’t think she’s unbalanced, I think altar is just perfect the way she is. Apex just needs to work on the stability of their servers tho, I got perfect internet working perfectly and I still get lag and frame skipping when I play Apex. Solos is also pretty cool
I want to get better at apex but it feels like no matter how hard I try I just end up being the worst shooter I've been playing since season 0 and I'm still no good and I have no friends and everyone hates playing with me so thanks I enjoy watching your videos even if Ill never be as good as you
@@Thegamingmerchant oh you answered, I'm honoured. I hope to one day be at least as good to not find myself in those 10 first killed when faced against players like you. Or at least to not get killed by someone using my own grenade against me, thou no wait I wouldn't even hit you with that grenade in the first place XD
Cheaters are untouchable and now I have proofs. I posted a clip of two-player teaming in solo and now I'm getting a week ban for calling a player "cheater". I've lost all my faith in this game. It's corrupted, rotten to the core, and there is no safety for legit players. We are abandoned. In less than 24h I've already collected multiple images of players cheating in this mode..I give up..
Watching players like TGM makes me wish that I'd started playing online and multiplayer games earlier in life. Cause, I'm decent sure, but my first online game was Halo 4 and I'm almost 30 for context. I can't seem to do those whip shots. Hip-fire is near impossible for me to stick with. I think I'm decent with positioning. My movement is ok. But my aim is so bad/inconsistent. Sometimes I'll pop off and then I'll change NOTHING and be horrible for the next 2 weeks.
I actually despise this game these days whenever I play it, but whenever I see Merchant's smooth gameplay it convinces me to give it another try. Awful mistake ofc, this game is still absolutely painful to play for any length of time.
Tactical. I completed it in mixtape. Lol didn't even realize I had until I got back to the lobby and it was finished 😅 that's the one that worried me the most. But yes create tac portal, go through, kill/knock enemy, go back through same portal before it disappears and you're done 😅
Thank you😊 @@ladybat7497It worries me the most too since it's the last thing left lol. I thought I did it with the tactical but game so no apparently so imma keep trying then.
Bro like 30 min ago I was playing solos, and there’s 2 people sitting on the outer edge of the storm, not shooting at each other, they know damn well the other is where they are and don’t shoot each other, but as soon as I walk into their line of sights, both shoot at me with a 3030 and a triple take. That’s gotta be teaming right?
Man I have been having the dumbest sbmm since launch the highest rank ive ever gone to was diamond 1 and every person ive been goin against this season has either the masters badge or pred bad with the 20 kill badge i came back just for the new season but Im probably leaving again now
I was so excited to have a Chinese speaking legend so I can finally understand a foreign legend, but she speaks cantonese (50 million speakers) Not mandarin (1 billion+ speakers)😭
@@connorschramm oh, my bad. I can't tell the difference. You know how it is, us Americans don't know any other language but English. We got a terrible education system for language building
Although she is fun, I just cant find use for her that other legends cant do better (besides phase through walls). If they reduced her Ult recall time or made it where you didnt have to line of sight it and then pop a small ult accel, shed be much better. I see her ult getting reduced cool down for recall time or you dont have to look at it. As is, she feels so under powered.
