Apex Legends

Welcome

In the crowded world of Battle Royales, Apex Legends stands out for one specific reason: Movement. While other games focus on tactical positioning or building forts, Apex is about sliding, wall-bouncing, and chaotic ability synergy.

If you are just dropping into Kings Canyon or Olympus for the first time, the speed can be overwhelming.


The Meta Report (Table Test)

Weapon balance changes every season, but some guns remain timeless. Here is a breakdown of the current loadout hierarchy to test your table styling.

Tier Weapon Ammo Type Playstyle
S-Tier R-99 SMG Light Close-range shredder
S-Tier Nemesis AR Energy Mid-range burst damage
A-Tier Peacekeeper Shotgun Peek-and-shoot
B-Tier Sentinel Sniper High-risk, high-reward

Advanced Movement Config

Apex runs on a modified Source Engine (like CS:GO or Titanfall). PC players often tweak their autoexec.cfg files to maximize frames and input fluidity.

Here is what a typical config file looks like:

// Apex Legends Performance Config
// Place in /cfg/ folder

fps_max "190"                // Cap FPS to monitor refresh rate
cl_showpos "1"               // Show velocity and position
m_rawinput "1"               // Direct mouse input
mat_diffuse "1"              // Texture quality
r_volumetric_lighting_enabled "0" // Disable sun beams for visibility

bind "mwheeldown" "+jump"    // The essential bind for bunny hopping
bind "f" "ping_specific_type" // Quick ping
