    Remember To Revive Your Teammates, But Only When It's Safe

    A good teammate helps squad members during a fight, but do not help too soon. If your enemy squad is winning, keep your teammate safe before reviving. Helping them won't help if the enemy kills you.

    Use Those Weird Balloon Towers

    If you played a few rounds ofApex.you notice tall towers with balloons. These towers seem useless, but they help fast travel. Walk up to one, ride the string like a zip-line, and get blasted off with rockets, just like leaving the dropship early on.

    Pick Times To Run Towards Fire

    Sometimes, winning a round of Apex.Apex means stay hidden and avoid fights until the end. Other times, run into danger. Hearing fire, not shield impacts, means two squads are fighting.

    A distracted squad is easier to take out than a group in the bunker. Find an active fight; your squad can take out two or more teams and grab all the good loot.

    Look To Land In High-Tier Loot Areas

    A supply ship floats around every match, carrying purple items and possibly gold stuff. This is a "high-tier" loot area, so squads often land there early.

    Other "high-tier" landing spots exist without many squads. Swamps, the Relay, and the Artillery have good gear, even if they don't have as many players as the Bunker or Airbase.

    Ping Like Crazy

    Apex'Ping Like Crazy' is a top game feature. It lets players without mics talk well. You can use it to stress what you say on mic. Marking 'over there' with a yellow icon makes "Hurry up and run over there" much clearer.

    Don't explain, "Okay, so there's some ammo in the 17th building on the left in Skulltown..." Just ping the ammo and move forward.

    Be Patient While Unlocking Additional Characters

    Yes.ApexApex is free. The extra characters like Caustic and Mirage are cool, but do not spend money if you do not need them. Unlock a new character every 20 levels; this takes about 20 to 25 hours.
