Pro Tips for Improving Gameplay
Q: What are some pro tips for improving gameplay in Apex Legends?
A: Practice and strategize. Know the strengths and weaknesses of your chosen character, and work on improving your aim and movement. Learn to communicate effectively with your team and prioritize teamwork. Be mindful of your positioning and aware of your surroundings to avoid enemy ambushes. Experiment with different weapons and find your preference, but remember the importance of ammo conservation. The Prowler with Select Fire is a solid weapon choice. Sliding down hills whilst shooting can also be very effective. Keep an eye out for rare weapons with attachments around the map, and don’t underestimate the advantages of a good backpack. Friendly reminder that Respawn does not support cheating and encourages players to report any suspicious behavior.
Understanding Heirlooms
Q: What is an heirloom, and how do I get one?
A: An heirloom is a rare cosmetic item in Apex Legends, typically a melee weapon skin, with its unique animations and effects. Obtaining an heirloom is purely based on luck, so players will have to open various Apex Packs, which may contain heirloom shards. It takes 500 Apex Packs to be guaranteed to get an heirloom, but players can get lucky and get one in fewer packs. Once players have all three sets of heirloom shards, they can trade them for the heirloom of their choice.
Acknowledging Player Requests
Q: Will Apex Legends be released on Nintendo Switch?
A: There is no concrete news on that matter. However, we’re aware that many players are anticipating a Switch release and we’re working to bring the game to more platforms.
Q: Will there be a new map?
A: As an ongoing live-service game, there will be more content updates and additions, but we can’t share specifics at this moment. We’re excited to bring fresh experiences to players, though.
Q: Can we have leaderboards and cross-console play?
A: We’re aware that many players are requesting leaderboards and cross-console play. We’ll be sure to let the team know the interest of the community.
