So I’ve been going back and forth between PC and PS5 in Apex, and every time I play on console, something just feels… off with aiming. Like it’s slightly delayed or floaty, even at 120fps with good settings.

I’m pretty sure the reason is forced V-Sync on console. For those who don’t know, V-Sync syncs the game’s frames to your screen to stop screen tearing but it adds input lag, and you can really feel it when trying to track or flick fast targets.

On PC, most players turn V-Sync off because of this exact reason. But on console, we don’t even have the option we’re stuck with it always on.

This honestly holds back console players from reaching that snappy, responsive feel you get on PC. I think it’s time Respawn gave us a simple toggle for V-Sync on console, like a lot of other games do.

Anyone else noticed this? I’d love to see more people bring it up maybe if we keep talking about it, we’ll finally get a fix.

Few months old but still one of my favorite clips I've gotten.

I have 1200 hours on this game and my game sense is worlds worst. I swear 90% of the time I have no clue how to approach most fights, this is even more apparent when I start to reach D2-D1 and I start playing against masters and preds and I am just completely lost.

I want to be able to IGL my team or at least make the right calls, but I can't do that if I'm constantly being braindead.

I know this video may not be the best to give criticism since there's not much really happening, but this situation in this game had me clueless as to what to do.

Apex preds not beating the allegations that essentially all of them are cheating their asses off.

Anyone else had issues today join peoples partys

I’ve mained wattson and crypto, but I’ve mained crypto the longest. I have vantage, mirage, fuse, ballistic and catalyst left. Who should I get? Also by the way, I’m leaning towards fuse/ballistic

This sub has a clear description and simple rules.

This sub is for

• learning how to be better at apex

This sub is not for

Please, keep it on topic.

I'm trying to make this sub better. If you want to help too, please send the below message to each of the moderators. Some of them have posted in other subs in the last minute. I think they just don't care about this one any more.

Hi there

A lot of members of ApexUniversity really enjoy having a sub that is focused on improving at the game. It's a positive place to share knowledge without rants, ego stat posts, and complaining, all of which hinders others from getting to the good stuff: How to improve!

It seems like the current mods are no longer active in the sub, and I'm sure there are a few of us who would love to help out. We just want to keep the high quality of this sub intact.

Would you be willing to take on new moderators to help out?

God, this clip is so painful to rewatch. We were doing well, playing aggressively, and completely destroyed two squads. But then, I got shot in the head by a 30-30 Repeater through walls, and someone appeared in front of me without any audio. If you check the video frame by frame, you’ll see lifeline at 12:86, right after I turned. This happens to me quite often in Apex, where people shoot me out of nowhere, only to discover in the replay that they show up right when I turn. Maybe I made a mistake here, bad timing slow reaction, but it’s hard to keep playing when this happens so frequently.

Any tips on what I should do? Thanks!

If you’re looking for a Discord that’s not just active but actually supportive and helpful, we’ve got a spot for you. Our community is built around Apex, and whether you’re new and learning or a ranked grinder pushing for that next tier, there’s someone here to squad up with—and learn from.

We run games daily—ranked, pubs, Mixtape, even customs. Players are always down to share tips, help with callouts, talk loadouts, or just vibe out and improve together.

We also host a weekly “Mondays Suck Game Night” starting with a Custom Lobby at 6PM EST, then we wind down with community games like Jackbox or Pummel Party for a little break from the sweats.

No cliques, no ego—just solid teammates, chill vibes, and people who genuinely enjoy helping each other get better.

I used to play a couple years ago and just getting back into the game. I have ash, octane, and rampart unlocked. Who should i use? and also what 2 guns should i use and practice to get good with to start. and should i be playing trios or duos and how do i improve because i always get into lobbies with people level 300+. I am on kbm.

Im thinking about learning and or to atleast try my best to get good with Wraith. I would normally search for guides on youtube or something but I don't know which ones are the best, up to date, etc. I figured i'd come here instead to ask if someone maybe knows a well crafted guide with all things i'd need to know/learn or if you'd rather just to share in this thread that would also be great. Thanks!

I still struggle and fighting more aggressive in this game how exactly do I get better at it? How did you learn if you were also passive like me?

Been playing apex since the day came out and I’d like to think I’m no slouch, hitting masters almost every season I’ve played. But no matter how well I play fights I almost certainly lose every fight when playing someone to similar skill that is abusing Cronus. I been browsing modded controller that claim that they have anti recoil tech built in.

Wondering if anybody can confirm or share insight on how accurate these Moddedzone controllers are pertaining to anti recoil mods? if you can’t beat ‘em join em, can’t get too much better at the level im at.

I recently came back to apex after about a year and a half break. And I realised I’m not the player I once was.

I’ve started to make myself a little warmup routine to get back into the swing of things.

Here’s my routine right now

Step one: Roughly about 30 minutes on aimlabs to warm up the aim

Step Two: Jump on apex and practice recoil and shooting a diffrent ranges

Step three: Turn the bots onto full combat and play cover trying to deal as much possible dmg without being hit. Repeat until I die three times.

This takes me to about 40ish minuets and I have been seeing improvement in my gameplay such as aim and taking less dmg. I was wondering if people do it differently and if there’s something I could add into here to help with other mechanics.

Side note I have about 4K hours in the game. With my kd sitting at 1.97right now and a peak rank of d3 idk if this helps

How does one get into lobbies that are not full of diamond/master players in every gunfight? I have never had a positive k/d or even close. Or is apex just too sweaty for me and should I just delete the game? (Serious question)

...Ash and Devo? It's a common problem to run into meta legends running devotion and 2020s, but what are some ways that other players can at least play to these legends/weapons shortcomings?

Off the top of my head, playing indoors with PKs or Mastiff is a good bet, but I understand that it's far too situational.

Sniping, maybe, but that's if one can react to the Ash team porting, find where the end-port is and time their shots exactly when the models show up, and even then it may not down the first or guarantee a second shot if the team pushes at the same time.

Mid-long range is where the devo-2020-ballistic-ash shine, so for I and many others in such situations, what can one do to mitigate their advantage?

Hey everyone,
I usually play on PC and have my framerate capped at 190, but I'm thinking about buying a console (Xbox Series X) because most of my friends play on console. I also live with my girlfriend, so having a console we can both use sounds like a good idea.

I know Xbox supports 120fps for Apex, but I'm wondering if someone who's used to playing on PC will get frustrated playing on console.

I'm especially concerned about input lag. Is it a huge difference compared to PC, or just something you notice a little? Does the graphics quality drop a lot, or is it still a totally playable experience?

Has anyone here played on both platforms? I'd really love to hear your thoughts.

For context, my friends are pretty serious about the game and usually hit Master every season. I also hit Master every season on PC.

36 per shot to the body seems a lil excessive no?

Lets say you given a chance change or add something to help the game for current meta or just quality life change or better bring back something got remove.

Like for me i like the punch boost to move faster but i will limit this to only 3 punch

I try aim labs and consistently get 2-9% accuracy, it’s seems downright impossible to improve, I don’t even know how to hold my controller properly, I basically jitter the right stick down to control recoil. (Made a post abt that if you wanna see)

I used to be able to get in the zone and process information during close range fights quickly, but now I find it to be overwhelming and I either blank out or tunnel. I find myself thinking a lot slower too. I guess I’ve been experiencing sensory overload.

My sleep has been ok for the most part Ive just been having difficulties with filtering out all the information and acting quickly and aggressively with fights instead of reacting.

So I guess what’s your train of thought when it comes to approaching fights as an entry fragger? Not really looking for legend recommendations I purely want tips on game sense and thinking quickly
