Top 15 Controller Tips You Need To Know! (Apex Legends) 

Love all your tips :) I played on 106 FOV from the very beginning and just switched to 96. I can play a lot better that way. I wasn't able to see enemies right with the high FOV

4-3 linear was a game changer for me. Wish I would’ve started with it, made movement, recoil and tracking so much easier once I got used to it. I’ve tried switching back to classic and now it feels terrible to me Edit: wanted to add, going linear gave me stick drift on no dead zone. I converted my 4-3 linear to ALC with some tiny adjustments, primarily adding 3 dead zone and 3 outer limit. There are some great Reddit posts detailing how to convert from regular sensitivity to ALC without changing the feel

Been playing apex for a year, wasn't expecting to learn anything but i ended up learning a few things, thanks

Before i switched to ALC i used 6 5 linear. Now i use pitch and yaw 350 with extra 250 on both and ads is 170 for both with 170 extra. Usually people dont like having extra on their ads but it actually does a lot with aim assist. When youre not aiming at someone its fast then slows down when you aim at someone

for tip #1 i suggest doing a 360 on a door then reload at the 180 mark for a new mag and a quick look at your surroundings. (hope this helped)

I think one of the biggest things that improved my movement was switch toggle crouch to hold crouch. Superglides and sliding bunny hops much smoother. Also if you don’t have paddles you are always at a disadvantage. My paddles are mapped to A B X Y and I never have to take my fingers off the sticks. So I can slide, turn, crouch and jump all and jump all at the same time

Great video! I will def be practicing my wall bounces and jump looting to take my skills to the next level. Like u said,I no how to do it it’s just implementing it to my games until it’s muscle memory. Thanks for the tips

after messing with heal binds for awhile as a ps4 controller user on steam, i finally arrived on split touchpad left tap = syringe left click = med kit right tap = cell right click = batt ps button = phoenix as a split keyboard/controller player....its sooo optimal

If you’re coming from cod the best button layout is custom. Since I play tactical I do use melee as circle and crouch r3 but also ping up on the dpad, heal with R1.

Just another tip, instead of using button puncher button layout u could also have your left thumb stick as slide so you can do special types of movement such as super gliding

Get a controller with paddles if you get the chance. Power A controllers are quite cheap and do the trick. It will improve your gameplay 200%, even if you use the back button for crouch and jump.

I switched to controller recently after about 10 years on MnK and already I'm playing more consistently on Apex after following this guide about a month back

A bit of a personal tip, i re-mapped my jump to LB and its so much easier to do movement.

For someone who doesn't play on controller, I clicked this video really fast 🥲

I feel that 90 FOV has always been the best for me. Because everything is relatively within sight, but I also don't get the fisheye effect. I hate that. I already have bad enough vision. 🤣

First thing I do is switch to shields as soon as I land. I use paddles and ended up putting slide on my left paddle and shields/heals for right paddle. Makes things so much easier.

My controller setting settings for apex are left bumper-crouch, right bumper jump, tactical Right stick. Makes it so you can aim with the right stick and simultaneously jump, crouch/slide, using tac without ever taking my finger of the right stick

4:14 I have my jump binded to my stick and that allows me to jump even while i am looting.

i bind my jump button on l3 so i can always jump or crouch when im in a dead box, also my interaction is on the norma jump, my greande is on the normal interaction and my crouch is on r3

I love bumper jumper, it frees up quite a bit of your controller and then getting used to claw might be beneficial to help with the interacts in fight

I only played APEX a couple of times when it was just released and now everything seems so alien to me. It's like "what? More maps? Weapon attachments? I don't think I know this game anymore." Thank you for making this video you definitely taught me something.

I use button puncher but I struggle holding a head glitch because I'm to heavy handed on the right stick and end up crouching when I shoot, any tips for that?

Coming from other fps games I always had the mindset that high sens = good, so having 6-7 and him saying 4-5 at most or whatever was was a surprise

I'm Master on console but I still like to watch and see if there are better ways to do things. I also just like the gameplay.

I have a ps5 dual sense edge, so 2 back buttons and run custom. Same as button puncher but changed interact to L1 and ability to square ( left paddle, jump is on right paddle ) works well only need to push face buttons for weapon swapping.

Biggest tip if ya true controller player on console n run into a pc controller player CONSOLE PLAYER JUMP OFF OF MAP LOL

Another good controller layout is evolved. I see many using it cause you don’t have to move your thumb to jump or bunny hop.

Every one should play linear 4-3 or 4-4 button puncher if on a ps4 controller. Best

I use button puncher but I swap the B button from melee to grenade, it makes the dpad melee but melee is less important imo

I bind the heals to my left joystick so I can click and select without moving off of the sticks.

For the door reloads tip, you could just switch to hold for reload tap to use

I simply suggest learning claw. I play claw as well as have 2 back paddles that i use for meds and jumping and its incredibly useful. Super gliding, wall jumping and bunny hopping becomes incredibly easier.

In controller settings you can choose things like “hold x to reload and tap x to interact” and so on just to throw that out there!

I had this problem where I would accidentally punch mid fights because the punch button was mapped to r3 and I would accidentally press it while panicking so if you switch to button puncher it will fix that

I noticed one tip you didn't explain, when you say to ambush you should say to two of your team is distracting a team one of the should attack from the back

Tip 1 is only for console, you can use steam to change your binding on pc, bind interact and reload on different btn

For layout I prefer ninja because it keeps your thumbs on the sticks while jump and crouch are LB and RB

Mango is back ! Wooooo!

Not to say its the solution for everyone, but even just 2 extra buttons makes playing sooo much easier. I use back paddles.

One tip for everyone that he doesn’t mention is to also have WiFi that isn’t McDonald’s

One thing to get a lot better is having a really good strafe with some crouches in it you dodge bullets while beaming ur enemies. I’ve had countless times where I one clip someone while they only do 70 dmg to me just bc I’m crouch strafing and dodging their bullets

4-4 Steady is slept on for controller with almost no stick drift

If aim is your issue the FOV tip actually hurts you. The larger the fov the smaller the target. Find a range that works for you and your aim level

I’ve found Verhulst controller layout to really work for me. Don’t really have to take my thumb off the stick when I’m fights at all.

Great tips. I know you talked about not using ALC in the past, but I have some bad stick drift I need to increase dead zone because of and I don’t see an option to do that without using ALC, any tips?

Why not instead of knowing what your heal button is currently on, why don't you just remember the layout of the Heal Wheel so you can quickly use and not have another thing on your mind? Dpad Up + Up Control Stick = Phoenix Kit Dpad Up + Down Right Control Stick = Cell, something like that

Something no one seems to know or talk about. If jump and crouch are bound to L3/R3 or LS/RS they still work in a death box. So youre able to jump and crouch whilst looting. Really only feasible with paddles however

Thanks mangos as a true casual player I only get about 10-12hrs a week to play so tha KS for helping me make it to silver I mite make gold b4 the end of the season

Somthing to mention, if you play with jump or crouch on your analogs, you will eventually get stick drift, you have great movement but also great stick drift😬

This is the reason I run charge rifle. Tutorial on AA basically. Keeps me away from that range where roller is OP.

Are there no players that use top bumpers for shooting and aiming? (Edit) I use Alcs and custom controller settings~ Jumps on left trigger, slides on left stick, aim on left bumper, fire on right bumper, inspect on O, grenades nd heals on left and right Dpad, and survival on down with pings on x~ I can do all controller movement there's no nanosecond delay when shooting (pulling the trigger down) and when you combo that with 4-3 or 6-4 linear/ Alcs that make your sens high but slowed when aim assist kicks in~

One thing I would like to mention is if any of you have the season 7 reactive R99 that also has better iron sights

Tip # 3!!!! I just did this the other day and it’s a game changer (pun intended) I kept hitting melee during gun fights which got me killed so many times.

this guide is amazing!!!

I agree with you everything except the vibration bc without vibration I usually realise to late I get shot at

I personally play 5 - 5 linear and that works for me

I play 4-3 STEADY and I love it ❤

My sens is 6-6. I thought I was relatively low but my friend was shocked at how high my sens was. As a controller player, is my sens being this high weird?

Apex and warzone are the only games I utilize claw. It's too uncomfortable to hold the controller like that so I hold it normally and just reach with index fingers when need to holster guns, hit heals, and swap weapons or reload

11:20 Man that is a smart Newcastle play good job ^^' poor Gibby i knew exactly what was going through his mind right there "fooooooock" xD

I have been playing game with Mnk since I was young, I try playing Apex with controller one day, I gave up instantly I can’t do that, it’s so hard to move and shoot

I appreciate these tips. However I encourage you, as well as anyone else to turn that auto reload at mag empty off completely. It is very easy to run the mag and instinctually hit reload, so now your weapon swapped, but you immediately swapped back to the empty gun.

#5 I prefer slight of hand so I slide armour swap oc pad strafe and fight

I love all of these tips but I had a little bit of a problem with button puncher because long term it can cause bad stick drift because of the overuse of the stick but other than that it is a very good option.

Bigggg tip to everyone if u want to move on controller ps4 while in a death box it is possible to jump and crouch the only problem is u will have to put crouch and or jump on ur R2 and L2.

All i got to say wall bounces look cool, but they are so helpful in fights.

Wraith:"This is not R6, Crypto!!!!"

Ty u for the tips I will use these

Thank you

4-3 classic works perfect for me. I'd go up to 4-4 from time to time

Number 7 good tip

ty not jumping on the deathbox is holding me back.

Thx mango sensei 💙🤘🏼

I'm used to 5-4 sensitivity I do like the fast look though it can be a little harder if you take a bit of the break

If you don't want to play claw and you have paddles I recommend to try bind your interact/reload button to R1/RB.

actually if ur using button puncher you can crouch spam while on a deathbox

If you play normal grip on controller use evolved instead of button puncher

what are the best claw binds and faster linear sense ?

The reloading behind doors isn’t really useful. i swapped my reload to Hold instead. Even facing away from the door I’ve managed to open the door behind me. stepping away slightly while someone is on the other side just enables them to open the door slightly and shoot me through the slight opening.

I'm new to your channel. You mention something about ALC early on. What are your thoughts on ALC? Or if there is a video please link.

Another thing when using death box, slide into it cause you still travel after

Im at 5 4 classic and for wall jumping i just can t make the turn forward (towards the wall) and back to trigger an effective one. I wish I understood how to do it.

What about using ninja button layout

And thanks for the tips

I have stick drift on my left stick so it isnt bad for game play but deathbox or deopping things are a pain

While running in a dethbox if you press your sprint button as you open it you continue running if you stop pushing you movement stick 👍

Currently using a old tv I had for ages and wanna upgrade as I have ps5 now. What are some great competitive monitors to use that aren’t like a grand 😂

Tip 9 is my problem. I tense up and I’ll couch spam. I couch spam by accident even when trying to thirst a knock

i have auto run on and use my left stick for my heal wheel i love it coming from mnk

I have that exact controller on the thumbnail!

how many hours do you have in this game?

I play console. My random was moving way to fast to be normal. I asked how. He said lamic settings. So I guess there is a exploit that allows you to use twitch through console. It is BS for those of us who play fair. This movement boost is ruining Apex on console. I'm getting killed by lvl 60s and 70s with over or almost 1000 kills and 2K badges because if this. It gives them a way over the top advantage. I spectated a lvl 9 get 21 kills and almost 3000 damage solo and win the BR match. I have pics of it. EA and Respawn do not give a crap about it cause it's console. Such BS

If you have auto sprint you can just keeping running and get away with it quick as well

5-4 linear is also nice

Still need to get myself wall bouncing . I need to get those weapon skins. Too bad it's only legendary item per battle pass with points

Thats a really good aim

The flatline is a hipfire God season 15.

You forgot to mention aiming then hip firing with certain guns actually improves hitfire

What’s the volt skin

I just buy a play 5 to play apex but I try it a little and really not like how feels the aim and legends moves with a controller, just gives me frustration, I made my own hud and even with that I’m so lost with my buttons, I never press the ones I wanted and gets killed easy, other things was the matchmaking, I’m new on the game and my first match the enemies are platinum with a lots of experience , movement’s and aim. Think after mobile version disappear I’m done with apex too
