Apex Legends Ultimate Controller & Settings Guide

yo what's going on guys it's designful um I haven't posted a video on YouTube in you know a long time uh it's usually just like montages or whatever but uh This is highly requested I mean everybody knows that I've tried everything I look for any competitive advantage in the game I've tried every controller there that there is uh hall effect sticks non hall effect sticks Playstation Xbox battle Beaver scuff turtle be Astro what I'm still on currently the Astro um yeah I'm going to kind of go through just everything you need to know about controller and controller senses I'm going to start off with uh one of the most important things I guess is picking frames we're going to go with the the overalls picking frames uh you see a lot of Pros playing 240 um I think it all depends on the load out and what you're trying to do I think on controller it's best to so on controller you have a blind spot you know like no matter how how teed you can be you're going to have a blind spot and it's all about minimizing that blind spot and a lot of players increase up to 240 FPS you know to make their game a little bit faster make their aim a little bit faster um the game just feels smoother but uh in my opinion 138 is better I think I think 240 might be a little bit better when it comes to uh close range SMGs and like mid range a little bit into the mid-range with like ARs and stuff but uh I mean on 138 you can just you can Super Glide you have uh you just have like a lot more control over the game it just feels kind of like a slower Pace you have more control over it uh but what I did what I ended up doing I've been trying to I I did not want to swap to 240 so I've been testing a bunch of different things you know trying to figure out what makes 138 feel the best because for some reason like the window of the AA just feels I don't know it feels so much better on 138 like the uh the long range guns all the snipers the dmrs the Peter the Scout Sentinel Longbow all those snipers that I use that I hit crazy Clips with the wingman uh all those single shot weapons just feel so much better on 138 where uh you kind of give up a little bit of the uh the full auto we so um it's kind of just you know increasing your skill cap while also decreasing your blind spot and uh yeah I mean it's all preference you could like two two uh 240 more but uh I feel like the uh the grab the grab in on the uh on the window is just way easier for long range um going into the next thing you want to pick an fov this is also very very important um the higher you go with fov the less recoil you're going to get in a game like Apex where um it's called you you recoil smoothing when you're moving left and right you're just going to have less recoil on a higher fov when I swapped over to play uh not PlayStation when I swapped from PlayStation uh I was on 90 98 I believe came to PC I swapped to 102 went up to 104 to 106 to 108 to 110 back to 108 then back to 106 CU I feel like it's kind of like uh an in between if you feel like you're lacking in your close range but your your long range is really well maybe bump it up to 108 but uh I I felt like uh my long range is just so much more consistent on 106 you're also you're giving up a little bit of that close range though so what I did to combat that was uh I'm actually using not a control freak cuz on linear you don't want to control freak it it raises your stick almost too there's like a there's a sweet spot with how how high you want to raise your stick you want your stick raised enough to where you have enough leverage over it to where you can move left and right fast but you also don't want to give up your range of motion by using that extended thumb stick you want to be able to hit full 360 very very quickly and easily so I'm ending up like I'm using a uh a thumb a thumb stick cap it kind of raises it about uh 1 mimet to 2 mm I think the lowest control freak the lowrise control freaks are 4 mm and I mean that all depends on your controller but I would I wouldn't recommend uh going higher with your thumb stick I would recommend going wider so uh I I'll put the link in the the video on I I'll put all these resources in the description of the video but I I use a wider right thumb stick now um that has kind of uh helped with the uh the close range and like the the smoothness of tracking without having to go up to 240 or uh any of that and uh yeah so also you're going to want to pick your video uh your aspect ratio um a lot of uh my friends we kind of tested we went back and forth between native and uh stretched I don't really know um I was more consist all of us were like more consistent on stretched we liked it more I don't know why some people like native um I played native on classic but I I do really like stretch on on U linear but the thing is is you want to put your native desktop I for the longest time I had my native desktop on this same to match it so like my second monitor wouldn't bug out and the programs wouldn't move but that's going to mess your graphics up and your game's going to look like dog ass so just leave your your desktop on uh 69 leave your your native desktop on that and then just make the game and stretch to it'll it'll move your like second monitor stuff but um for for graphics quality that's uh the best way to do it all right next thing we're going to get into um once you figure all that you want to go into Invidia refle you run Nvidia reflex but anything you have in game is going to be overridden by whatever you have in um what is it your Nvidia uh control panel so I play enabled on actual game but I play Ultra and control panel I have no idea idea I just don't put Ultra enable plus boost in here cuz it had like problems before and I don't know I just enabled feels better to me um yeah I play Ultra on uh in my control panel back into it I'm just going to go through every single little setting that I've tweaked and what I've found out to uh be the best um so I have shadows on right now because I was messing with my video settings when I was showing you guys but uh I usually have them off but apparently um I don't know if it makes a difference but uh apparently if you have them on you're it's it's able you're able to see through bang smokes easier I haven't tested it if anybody does know uh leave a comment on top of uh all of that though I would definitely keep small on everything smallest Dead Zone you can if uh if you can't run none I you can run small I ran small for about uh a month but it's it's honestly linear is all about just getting getting used to the drift you know making it work with you than against you but every single controller is made differently so you're going to get a controller that drifts upwards you're going to get a controller that drifts right you're going to get a controller that drifts down every single one you're going to that's why you don't see a lot of pro switch controllers often they like to ride it out for as long as they can they'll they'll run a broken controller before swapping to a new one you never know how they're going to uh they're going to drift every every everyone's made differently so um yeah I mean if you could just get used to your controller drift it'll be a little bit of a headache it took me you know it makes me a little nauseous whenever I'm breaking in a new roller getting used to a new drift but none is definitely just the best because it just if anybody slide jumps in front of your screen it just Auto like it auto just grabs them you see how much pull I get there instead of uh if I was on none or small see I'm not it's not it still gets the grab but it's not pulling as hard you know and you're just slower with reaction none feels just the most fluid once you get used to small once once you get really used to small and you try none you're going to hate it but it's going to be so much easier for you to swap to none and once you just commit to it you kind of just got to kind of just got to commit to it um the the long range is a little weird the your close range will feel really good but the long range is the hardest part is where you have to uh you have to make your drift your your best friend I guess in a way and with the way I aim the entire uh secret to linear is just feeling that pole as soon as that pole hits and then aiming with it you just got to it's all just raw aim it's basically like mouse and keyboard but with your thumb instead of your your hand and your arm and you get you know a little bit of aim with it so you just got to feel that pole and then just work with it you know figure out how much you have to cuz there is that slow down window figure out how how much you have to micro adjust in that that little window um and then on top of that here's all of the secret settings that I have found out a little bit um it's a little weird um you're not going to feel it as much on certain controllers as others but you still will feel it just a little bit so basically every time you launch your game of Apex your ALCS are on this if you don't go into here and touch anything your ALCS are all zero this is what it is it's basically like I didn't touch it feels the exact same but what I end up doing is I go into here every time I launch the game I I leave it at this and then every time IUN launch the game I'll just move the slider once you just got to move a slider in here and then it'll it'll kick in there's a slight little bleed through that kicks in I don't know this feels just a little bit faster to me uh it's it's felt best to me I've been doing it for a month or so now couple months and uh I've been beaming with it um it all depends on what what everyone wants to do what you want to do it's not really changing uh your scense at all it does make it actually a little bit faster but it's a it's very small it's very minuscule you'll you you'll feel it and then if you change these and uh mess around with it it'll uh it'll change your like the window that you get you know it'll make it like uh it won't it won't change the window but it'll change how much it slows down which you know sometimes it just is a little too annoying it slows down too much you can't move your aim so uh this has ended up what just felt best to me um Pro Optics I don't use these there's bugs with them when you uh ads they should cause inconsistencies I tried them for about a week and I would have really crazy gunfights but like every like 10th gunfight it's just uh there's like an ads bug with it so I would not I would not mess with those um and then these uh per Optics all of these also bleed no matter if they're on or off it's just like the ALCS so this is what I'm running this is what felt has felt best to me and not I don't know if it's felt best to me I don't really just I don't really like to with them CU it does tweak my aim a little bit I don't I don't know uh this is what I had just on u a classic so I just kind of just left it and um yeah so anything you change in here even just from being on default if you have this all on default that still feels different than if you just go over here and put it on default over here I don't know it's weird don't ask me I don't I don't open this once I open the game I kind of just leave it like uh how I said I I move the slider in here I don't move that slider I don't with that at all I just leave that how it is because any of those any of these those settings that you're opening up you are changing your sense it will bleed in and it will feel a little bit different that is the uh the knowledge I've gained from the spaghettio coating of Apex Legends know it's a little interesting but uh yeah I mean that's just you know that's all the information all the secret sauces that I've been uh working on uh that I teased a little bit on Twitter uh there is a lot of there's a lot of that goes into your your sense you know if you take certain things and and and mix and match them they're not not going to feel as well um it all depends on your controller it it all depends on the controlling rate of your controller what frames you play everything kind of plays into one another and there's like kind of like a a golden sense if you may uh on each that you kind of just got to mess with I I've I felt that 138 just feels uh the most consistent to me but my uh my tracking wasn't as good as other uh controller players my aim always looked a little a little stiff you know with tracking but my like wingman and repeater and my my long range was I would diff them at like the long range but once they got closer you know I would kind of like I would kind of have to like play it really weird I would have to play a certain way around a box cuz I couldn't track left and right as fast so that's kind of what I ended up using the the little thumb stick cap for um yeah uh that is all of the secret sauces I know it's kind of like like everything that you know plays into your controller sense and take what you take what you learn from this and mess around figure out what you like um uh in the end this only accounts for probably about 30% of your game playay you know aiming uh the other 30% would be you know team communication and then the other 40% is just game IQ you know and you're going to train game IQ by solo queing ranked team communication by playing TDMs uh with your competitive your Lads and then uh mechanics you can grind r54 or just solo Q rank solo Q ranked is all around the best form of practice when it comes to controller um and just kind of getting all those attributes up that play into it but um yeah signing out there is uh there's the Krabby Patty uh secret formula and pretty much everything you need to know bottom line for controller if you have any questions you always stop and stream I talk about this all the time I don't gay keep any of this knowledge I'm always telling you guys what I know what I find out and uh you could also drop a comment I will look at that as well but uh hope you guys have a good one and you start frying harder take care
