To give you some context, I was, pretty much, a Destiny no-lifer. 4 KAD, Legend every season, Unbroken title etc. So I have solid aim, map awareness etc.



I switched to Apex Legends and my God was it frustrating. I couldn't land shots that I was sure were hitting, I felt like there was some weird AA glitch going on and I just watched as my friends got 15+ kill games and I was lucky to get 3.



I spent AGES playing, tweaking, reading posts here and trying to work out where I was going wrong. It's only in the last few days I've stumbled across settings I love as well as making a huge revelation in terms of the way this game plays.



First up my settings.



Hardware: Logitech G502 Hero at 3200 dpi (1000hz), cloth pad, Xim Apex using latest Beta Firmware, 125hz polling.



In game: 7/6, High Velocity Curve, FOV 87. Look Deadzone 'None', Small for movement.



Xim Apex settings:



Sync: Common



Hip: 37.50

Y/X - 0.95

Boost: 30



ADS: 15

Y/X: 1.3

Boost: 100

Steady Aim: 6





The biggest, BIGGEST revelation I made personally, was hugely scaling down the ADS sensitivity. I was so used to an almost 1:1 hip to ADS on Destiny but just found when using that in Apex Legends I would have shots perfectly lined up, even in close range gunfights with Wingman, and they just wouldn't land. It was infuriating. However, as soon as I really reduced that ADS sense, my shots just land. I thought the gun was broken but couldn't work out why all my friends were wrecking with it.



I firmly believe this game plays much better with a thicker, sludgier ADS speed.



I really hope this helps some of you who have been feeling as frustrated as I have.
