    Definitely toned down from Titanfall, but if you liked that game you’ll probably like Apex too!

    I would say stress about the character selection too much, you’ll find characters that you enjoy more over time but abilities don’t overshadow good gunplay in the game.

    A few small tips:

    • heal your shields before your health (most of the time). Shield items are slightly faster to use than their HP equivalents but provide the same amount of healing (e.g. shield cell = 25shields ~2 seconds to use, health pack = 25hp ~3 seconds to use)
    • when you kill an enemy and they drop their death box, you can loot their shield from the box to instantly recharge some or all of your shields. It can be really helpful even in the middle of a fight or if you know another squad is coming to third-party you
    • don’t get too caught up looting, you’ll get good stuff a lot more quickly by taking out other teams who have already looted for you
    • always be aware of where your squad mates are and make sure you’re close enough that you can get over and help them if need be

    Best way to learn ofc is to just jump in and play some matches. Have fun!




  • I have no problem with the in-game “jump scares”, but the popup ones were a bit much. I was glad when they added a setting to reduce the intensity of those, makes it much more tolerable.

    Side note: I am playing through and loving the new Lake House DLC. Night Springs was fun, but this is the kind of continued AW2 experience I’ve been hoping for. A highlight was reaching the Floor -3 with

    the ATDs and reading about how they’re trying to copy Wake’s writing style and brute-force new content. Entering the main room with the hundreds of ATDs clacking away really gave a feeling of dread and “the FBC continues to mess with things they don’t understand.”
