- Do you ever notice yourself losing a lot of gunfights in apex legends that you feel like you should have won? If so, then this is the video for you as I go over some of my best tips on how to win more gunfights and stop making mistakes in apex legends. I especially focused on overpeeking angles in this video as it seems to be what I still struggle with most as a player to this day.

I think people lose gunfights because they lack patience ...A lot of octanes or super aggressive players just plow into fights outnumbered die and then it turns into rescue mission in which you’re already outnumbered. And then sometimes you come back and then the team mate quits ....It’s really annoying being the only team mate acting like a team mate
Yea thats why im not the biggest fan of octane because half the people who play him just think they can push every single fight they see and somehow think they will be fine
@@drc022800 Lmao that is what just happend in my game. check it out. 😭😭😭(I uninstaled the game Gonna main mk11 now)
Yeah today i got into a ranked game with two other teamates who dropped carrier then went to the boxing ring without me, called me retard and trash for not following them lmao
@@saulgoodmansfingerr8527 ya people will solo drop in ranked be the first one dead and then blame you
@@drc022800 oh yeah thats happend yesterday in my game, the Octane player run into a fight and died, and after he yelling us "we bad players".... uhm yeah ofc xD
The biggest mistake we all make is getting heated, It's like reverting back 200 hours
This isn't why I keep losing gunfights Sweat, I'm just dogshit at the game dude 🤣🤣
I feel you on this one.
This is something I continuously need to be reminded of. I have a ego chal problem and I don’t respect the other players aim like I should. Great video 👍🏼
This resonated with me. If my initial damage is better than yours I almost always try to capitalize on that, even if it's not the best play.
Is it just me or do people play better after watching someone who is way better
Same like I be watching imperialhal and then hop on and win my first game on😅😅
Nope I'm opposite I do better if I don't watch anyone else lol
That's what I think will happen then I get clapped lol
Yeah I agree, watching pros or just popular streamers and UA-camrs to see what good play looks like helped me a lot.
As a player who always prioritized circle rotation, avoiding fights outside of ring and having high ground (I’ve been a pathfinder main mostly for years), I found myself top 5-ing like 60% of my games but rarely winning because when it actually came to combat I was under experienced and couldn’t close. But once I started watching players like Lulu, Jankz, Timmy and Itemp it helped with my decision making so much. Just seeing how they process information and act on it each fight really helped me do the same on a conscious and unconscious level.
Also Areans was so helpful because it allowed me to just practice fighting in a controlled setting where I could put all of those little tips and things to the test more consistently.
I’d say that these days I’m just barley like a platinum 4 level player but I’ve seen my KD from a .35 in season one all the way to 1.10 these days and it’s a good feeling. My Win percentage is almost 10% these days too. So yeah I’d definitely say watching better players really helps.
Yes definitely. I watch Diego and Daltoosh, and somehow some of their movements and aim were ingrained into me.
Only mistake I make is missing, I avoid this by rage quitting
You must play wraith right..?
@@ClosestNearUtopia or octane lmaoaoa
@@cdr2671 right😜 altough I think an octane which uses his stim for the good and placed pads all alound is a good addition to the team!
@@ClosestNearUtopia As octane I like to throw jump pads at downed teammates to save them from getting thirsted by enemies
@@kbecker3020 I am secretly an octane main to, and I approve this tactic. It is always a good thing to do!
To bad I see some Octanes using jumppads like 2 times a match, just for their own sake.. I think a decent octane atleast throws 10-15 pads in a match. They are usefull for alot like speeding around your team(instead just yourself), pushing, flanking, evading, taking high ground, resurecting teamies, sneaking. Listen here non pad octanes be creative and throw them basically whenever you got them. Destroy them to please, spare them whenever that is tactic or spam them whenever a plan is needed in a few minutes, theiy are great places to fall back to. Have fun playing as octane! Dont be to greedy;)
This reminds of how my playstyle changed slightly in Planetside 2 when I started to get better. In this game where there is no matchmaking and everyone on the server is put on one/two maps, you face newbies, experienced, and veteran players in the same fight. And since it is a high TTK game, the moment you are at a disadvantage in a gunfight - either the enemy gets the jump on you, you whiff your first shots, another enemy player comes and it becomes a 1v2, etc. - the chances of you winning that fight, especially with the amount of high-skill players, is very low. So the best thing to do is to reset the fight; reposition, heal up, then fight again on your terms.
Planetside 2 helped me improve on not dying and always aim for the head.
@@letthevoidb7608 absolutely, you're forced to hit headshots if you wanna win like 90% of your battles
Probably one of my biggest issues along with situational awareness (i.e.-getting 3rd partied, when to charge/heal, etc.) and lack of patience (i.e.-when to push, what fights to take, etc.). I feel like this one I can improve on faster if I just follow these kinds of tips. Good video!
I just played with you on arenas I was a wraith tying to let you get a clip on lifeline with the kraber.
Hit markered him bruh I was pissed! GGs
I always tend to clutch 1v3s in arena when the teams are split up like that which brings me to my point that you should definitely stick together and if you flank know exactly where they are going come up with a plan and stick to it
My biggest mistake is following a wraith/octane or assuming my lifelinez got my back😒
Don’t rely on your teammates. They might not be on the same level as you.
@@misterangeley facts
I do this all the time I see a wraith with 1000 kills I just rely on them.
The worst kind of teammate is the teammate that quits 👍
@@peternajor6213 it’s better than hearing them spam ping their banner/nearest respawn beacon
I haven't been playing long (about 100 hrs), but I was JUST thinking about this today (peeking same angles, over exposing my body on peeks, committing when not necessary or a good idea). As far as your analysis goes it seems like I think very similarly to you, BUT I am too dumb and slow to think of it in real time or even execute it properly if I do think of it. So you are like a very advanced version of me, like if I was a cyborg or something and that's pretty cool. Anyways good vid I really got a lot from this.
My heart cannot handle this game.
I cant stay calm when in fights.
Smoke some weed lol
Switch to maining caustic. Gets you to slow the game down and place traps in areas to inconvenience other players. He helped me calm down in fights ngl.
@Koen Verwimp there isn’t such thing as camping in apex lmfaoo
@Koen Verwimp English
just keep playing or pick up rust/tarkov
Your video came at the perfect time - I was trying to fix this in the firing range but couldn't figure out what was wrong. Now I know! Thank you so much
I love that you showing your failures and mistakes not just how good you are like a lot of other channels do
Are you good?
As a caustic main I dont wish to fix my gun fight for I feel most alive when rapidly approaching my death
Nah but for real the lesson I learned is dont rush to finish a fight if they're getting cocky they're getting sloppy
Lmfao the caustic line lmfao
& Bangalore
I like your commentary on your own clips. Gives prime examples of peeking/over-peeking and why that particular play was good/bad.
Its so frustrating to have to go through no audio,door bugs,deaths behind covers,server issues,cheaters and more other bugs and have a decent kd
I swear 50% of my deaths are from no audio and other 30% from all the other issues
I noticed this happening in Apex way more than other shooters. I would do a 120~ to someone and they would repeak the same angle without even healing. Once I noticed this trend I started getting way more kills.
It's like they are bluffing but just call their bluf and you get a knock.
Peaking the same angles was a big mistake I was making that I realized i always tell my self to keep moving and keep the opponent guessing
I live the way you go over tips and examples of successes and failures. Really informative. Now a subscriber.
4:58 I feel like instead of backing off there , perhaps switching to you R-301 and hitting him with a jump slide hip fire would have been a quicker idea , as most players don't always expect that , I think the fight could have gone alot quicker and looked alot cleaner 🤷♂️🙌
My biggest mistake is my inconsistency. Some games I wonder why I'm not signed to a pro team, other times I wonder why I even have this game installed.
SAME. one game i’m doing 13 kills.. then the next two i have not even a kill smh
Thank you for this. I’ve recently realized I’ve been doing this myself, and I’ve been trying to correct it. Then, this video shows up in my recommended. Definitely made the process much easier!
Can confirm that Overpeaking is my biggest weakness.
This is something so basic, but I've never heard it said out loud. Thanks for the advice king!
This channel easily has some of the most instructive and helpful content in the apex UA-cam community.
Without even having tried this…I can already say that this is probably the best advice I’ve seen for Apex and any battle royal game.
It helped me quite a while I usually do this thing that is first peek do some damage and then I climb up and knock them but teammates 😌😌die for some reason
04:07 btw Bro the technique is called shouldering, and yeah I tend to see a lot of people using shouldering improperly, they're either hugging the wall too much while doing so or just going out 1 to 1.5 of a body's width outside of the cover which you shouldn't do cause you give the enemy way to many angles to shoot you from.
My biggest problem is just truly getting in the mood to go hard in apex. Being tired, high, just feeling sluggish. I can just feel my brain going durrrrrrrrrrr as I’m half asleep.
We need more of this type of clip breakdown on youtube. Too many vids are guys just spewing info while some vid runs in the background. Thanks!
I may be making mistakes but respawn them selves are fucking their game with the skill gap. I be in playing casual then go against triple stack pred team playing bloodhound octane and rev as if they couldn't be any sweatier
Triple stacking preds shouldn’t really matter. We’re just trying to play with our friends too just like how others triple stack to play with their friends. If sbmm worked like how you wanted it work, it would take masters and up 30 mins just to get into a pub lobby. It’s just pubs, not like you’re getting into pred lobbies in ranked.
@@nickmin736 yea I get what u mean its just annoying when someone 3x better than me is hopping on in a third party or just rushing me with like a whole coordinated attack 😂
You are the main reason I got better and also Staycation! I watched your tip video back in SEASON 2!! And you helped me improve my playstyle! Your incredible sweat and I hope you keep growing
that was a helpful tip no lie. it truly is a habit im trying to overcome
Man, idk how you know what weapon an enemy has right away, or even that the wraith had a shotgun on her back. I can't identify that right away. In those circumstances half the weapons look exactly the same.
Yea I always over peaks and when I don’t I barely notice it and I realize why I can win most of my Arena fights because I don’t stay in one spot I switch up the angle on my opponents so thanks for a awesome tip bro👌🏽👌🏽
My problem is that no matter how I move, I strafe, slide jump, use covers, the thing is... the second I peeked, I get one clipped, every single time
Usually I can realize my mistake, I peek the same spot, I don’t heal at all, I don’t reload, I get unlucky, but sometimes I just lose. For example I was just fighting another bloodhound in solar array. I had knocked his teammate taking one hit. I had a rampage he had an r9. I hit four shots fire and immediately crouched and started swerving left and right. He hit every shot and my swerving may have made me miss some shots, in retrospect.
Something people need to know is how to use the character they main. Its a huge upgrade knowing when to scan as bloodhound, when to ult, and your teammates will appreciate you actually being a useful lifeline...
I over peek and over stretch my peek from my cover. I like the video and the tips.
How to play as wraith starterpack:
#1 drop somewhere else whenever the team decides to drop
#2 Land between 2 teams and die instant without loot and not using your ability
#3 scream into your mic in your native language some rubbish and a lot of noob callings towards your team
#4 actually leave the room whenever your beloved teamies decided to join your fight and recovered your banner and finishing your dirty work you started.
#5 buy skins and try as hard as you can to showoff your kills you actually have obtained in 9seasons time constantly repeating all above every 5 mins.. Congratulations..
Enjoy!
Hahahaha! I just recently started playing Apex 'cause I just got an Xbox one... but I have played with my friends on there and one of them was like, "I'm always Wraith! Nobody else!" 😂 But he's been playing for such a long time and is on level 500 dude! Either way though, this comment was hilarious to read! I'm definitely sendin this on the group chat 'cause they'll all get a good laugh from it 😂
@@macandcheesemaster6780 right is it!?😛 dont get me wrong, a wraith who knows what she is actually doing is a real team maker! Unfortunately random wraiths arent the most reliable players to get with randoms, especially pubs. Did you knew you can tell something about a person by which legend they choose to play?
@@ClosestNearUtopia Oohhh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense 😆 And no, I actually haven't thought about that 😱 I've played the game maybe a total of 10 times so far so I haven't really paid attention 😅 But now I'm curious because I keep sticking with Gibraltar and Lifeline for some reason and I don't even know why 😂
I've had to learn to back off when I'm low health/shields, especially when I know the enemy is low as well, I just want to rush when I should cell up
Yooo wassup!!! Keep up the great work
Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this, I am a week 1 player and still learned a lot.
I am able to reach diamond solo every season but to reach master or predator you need a 3 stack and my friends are hard stuck gold/plat, so I never thought I would be able to reach masters but watching shiv and other streamers solo their way to masters keeps me from giving up and this video definitely helped.
Another issue I'm having besides this(which I'm going to work on ) , is the fast decision making at the heat of the moment. When to push? When to back up? How many squads in the area?etc...
I’m a returning player, I used to be quite good at this game in season 0 & 1, now I suck. I just find aiming hard (which is my problem in every shooter)
Same here. But I found out that it was my controller that I thought was original but it was a third party one that me not able to track and aim consistently. Seasons 3-6 is when I thought I just suck and quit playing. Got an original controller and made sure it was this time and I feel like I’m slowly transitioning back to when I would get 10 kills consistently back in seasons 0-2. New season kinda new me!
My aim is better now but I’m still losing every single fight. Tried everything at this point
Shooting off the hip in extreme close quarters is also something I would’ve mentioned. A lot of inexperienced players might forget this. Good detailed explanations though. 👍🏽
Anyone else slow the clip waaaaay down and can’t see wraiths leg?? Great vid🙌 I definitely make these mistakes!🤦♂️
I needed this specific video. Was just realizing I over-peak and your video had lots of great, tangible tips. Thank you!
I like that you're showing both success and failure, so we can better learn not just what to do, but why we need to do that.
It is so easy to show just the good plays and say "look, this is working", but we'll have no context to what wouldn't work if you broke those rules.
I feel like Sweat is someone who understands why the teachers always asked you to show your thought process on the maths tests.
I could've dropped a 4k if I didnt peek from where I was peeking in ranked. This vid helped alot
Love the fact that he shows his fails so we can all get better
How do I go about finding a squad? I solo Q all my matches and in rank 90% of the time. I'm getting into arenas and its so hard to play with random that go in different direction or don't understand the plays im trying to make.
I almost always get shot in the back. Kinda hard to worry about peaking when your teammates keep dying way too soon. Today only one game did I actually get two teammates who did not die in the first two minutes. We won that game. The major reason why I die is the lack of teammates. This game sucks for solo players.
This was way more helpful than you realize, thank you 🤟🏿
Bro you awesome for releasing these tips videos. We all appreciate you.
Noti gang been busy with school but it finally finished 👍🏽
🤨school?

@@ju1iqn877 o
These videos just keep getting better an better 🤯‼️
Nice video man. Good tips. I think it’s over peaking is somehow people talk about but never commentate on. Good vid.
"As you can see I am very far from my team which is also not good" Wraith Octanes, take notes
thanks bro
I appreciate it really much also with recommending the Glytch energy huge move making activities with the apex grind
Dude this was a fantastic video thank you!!! I def am guilty of doing this def something I'm gonna work on. Whole video is solid loved the examples at the end.
I lose every fight so far makes no sense people straight beam me and i had someone back once and my guns all have recoil 😭 wish i can beam m&k doesn't help
I just play aggressive. Its pubs idc to much but in ranked I completely change my mindset on playing. Ik playing cover headglitching and all that is really important then stuff but I've been experimenting with arial movements shooting and stuff while bunny hopping or slide jumping into enemys. I should do it if they are low and I need to repostion so I clean up the kill faster but I just play in the open. When I no-fill though I play Smarter.
Also if you win a 1 v 3 or 1 v 2 situation and your team mates are down, armor swap and rez.
I don't know how many people I've killed who got greedy and started looting before rezing their team mates.
I appreciate the honesty in this video. I learned a lot.
Randoms need to see this. Am not the best player but most fights i could win or survive but most my mates just rush and dont know how to pull out. So am forced to fight till i win or lose instead of having a fun fire fight
Yo thx for the tips I've been implementing them in my games lately and I've been winning more fights plus getting more aggressive while dying less
I really like your videos specially this one, showing those 3 games is really good idea, cuz i got confused half way, so thanks.
Man.. 1v1’s are all about timing, but most importantly about surprising your enemy. GUYS!! Don’t just back out of a fight because you were shot. Don’t have that mindset. It all depends on the situation.
Man you’re doing so good on UA-cam I’m so glad to see you finally getting the recognition you deserve
Definitely useful information and I'll be working on improving, thanks Sweat
My main problem is that I stay peeked put too long when trying to get the knock and get annihilated by their teammates. Lol
great video! thought at the end u said u did a 360. it was actually a 180 lol. a 360 would mean u were facing the same way u started xD
Not just that, but after you peak a piece of cover and have already fired and reloaded twice, you need to rotate! Think about it, what do u do when you see an enemy in a spot? (Ping ping 📌). If you hold that cover for more than two mag dumps, you're risking getting team sprayed bc his buddies are zeroing on you and finding an angle. They will all focus you if u stay longer, ur gonna get naded or bombed and once u break ur getting focused.
Rotate, and get a new angle, and new cover.
First on all. Half the times I can’t even see the enemy. This game makes me feel like I am blind.
Great description and examples.
I'm hoping that being mindful of this will help me grind plat
in that second situation knowing the enemy was close and chasing you could gain advantage by aiming at the doorway from inside the next room getting 3-4 easy shots before he picks his gun up thats also how you beat lmgs that close
I need to work on being super coordinated with my team and my aim
gg bro thx for the tips 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Yo brother this is good, relatable stuff. Something I can really improve on. Very practical and specific.
Great video as always Sweatband, definitely something I will be more mindful of. Prediction is a killer...
The only trouble I have is that I lag everytime i am in a fight . Not saying I’ll win every battle but it’ll be nice to play without lag
you’re the best I needed this 😩
Also to add onto the first tip, I'll have friends or randoms who'll repeek the same angle even tho they haven't healed 🤦♂️
these are very helpful tips acutally thanks
9:16 starting to sound like Sultan D
Because sultan d says crucial a lot.
You literally made a lot of videos explaining that and i always say to myself "yeah i'm gonna correct that" *proceeds to never take cover in a fight* lmao
Really enjoyed this educational commentary
"don't miss bullets"
proceeds to miss bullets 2:25 LMAO
thank u
The real problem is a lot of octanes and wraiths and maybe even bloodhounds with their ult they run and full teams and expect to kill them but they die then they put their team at risk
One of your most helpful videos yet...
Idk what it is, but i went god like after watching this video. Thank you!
You're 100% right
nice tips man thanks for making a video on it !
