[0:00] These are 14 tips that will help you
[0:01] learn and incorporate movement into your
[0:03] gameplay, not just easy, but fast. My
[0:06] name's District. I'm a professional Apex
[0:08] Legends coach, and this is what I did to
[0:10] teach myself how to learn and perform
[0:12] movement in game with zero effort. If

[0:18] free, it helps me out, and you get to
[0:20] see me more often on your feet. Tip
[0:22] number one is learning what's even
[0:23] possible in Apex. Because Apex has
[0:25] literally hundreds of different
[0:27] mechanics in the game, from movement
[0:28] tech to game physics, all of which will
[0:30] help you interact with the environment
[0:31] around you. And without knowing what's
[0:33] possible, you're going to stay
[0:35] completely clueless. Apex Movement Wiki
[0:36] has a library of every single movement
[0:38] tech in the game, giving you the chance
[0:40] to learn what you're able to do without
[0:42] wasting your time scrolling YouTube for
[0:43] the most inclusive guides. Apex Movement
[0:46] Wiki is the best because not only has it
[0:48] cataloged everything possible, but it
[0:49] also categorizes it from easiest to
[0:52] hardest, most useful to least useful,
[0:54] and even legend specific movement tech.
[0:56] And if you're like me and you have a
[0:57] favorite legend, like Pathfinder, you
[0:59] can look at all the different Pathfinder
[1:01] specific tech to help you better main
[1:02] your favorite legend. If you're brand
[1:04] new to movement, you can start off with
[1:05] the more useful and easy techs, and you
[1:07] can work your way up the difficulty
[1:08] ladder as you keep developing your
[1:10] skills with the tips throughout this
[1:11] video. When learning new movement,
[1:13] practice each step one step at a time.
[1:15] Especially for more advanced movement
[1:17] mechanics, either ones that have a lot
[1:18] of combinations or a lot of inputs
[1:20] involved or ones that have insanely
[1:22] difficult timings. My biggest mistake
[1:24] when getting into movement was thinking
[1:25] after watching a video once, my hands
[1:27] would just magically know the flow and
[1:28] the muscle memory to perform everything
[1:30] perfectly. But boy, was I wrong.
[1:32] Instead, take the movement that you're
[1:33] trying to learn. Let's say it's
[1:34] something like a mantle jump, like I
[1:36] myself just recently learned, and break
[1:38] it down into singular inputs. Go slow at
[1:40] first, even if the timing is completely
[1:42] off and you're not hitting the mechanic,
[1:44] then slowly start picking up the pace.
[1:46] This is a really easy way to train your
[1:47] hands how they're going to need to move
[1:49] before you go full speed and have a
[1:51] brain anorism trying to fly your hands
[1:52] around a keyboard or a controller. As an
[1:54] example, my mantle jump looks something
[1:56] like interact, jump, pull back, super
[1:58] jump. But at half speed, what it might
[2:00] look like is interact, jump, pull back,
[2:05] flick up, and super jump. Obviously, the
[2:07] timing didn't work because I'm learning
[2:08] how my hand is supposed to interact with
[2:11] each individual key, each individual
[2:13] step. And as you start building more and
[2:15] more of a rhythm, it will start looking
[2:17] a lot faster, and eventually you'll go
[2:19] at full speed again, where you'll start
[2:21] hitting it perfect at the right speed.
[2:23] Tip number three, start adding more
[2:25] mechanics that give you momentum. As you
[2:27] fight or position, you'll find that
[2:29] naturally you have to pause. And that
[2:31] pause keeps you from moving. Whether it
[2:32] be healing, reloading, landing off a
[2:34] slide jump, or fall stun after hitting
[2:36] the ground a little bit too hard. Now
[2:37] that you're stopped, you need to get
[2:39] moving again. So adding mechanics like
[2:41] instant slides, super jumps, fatigue
[2:42] wall jumps, super glides, or mantle
[2:44] boosts is a great way to get yourself
[2:46] moving again. Don't know how to perform
[2:47] those mechanics? Make sure you're sub
[2:49] for when I start pumping out quick one
[2:51] minute tutorials next week with a bunch
[2:53] of different mechanics in the game. The
[2:54] key here is there's a lot of mechanics
[2:55] in the game that instantly give you
[2:57] momentum. Learn them and start
[2:58] implementing them for whenever you find
[3:00] yourself stuck. Tip number four, learn
[3:02] to hold and keep your momentum. It's one
[3:04] thing to get yourself moving, but it's
[3:05] another thing to keep yourself moving.
[3:07] Some mechanics give you momentum, but
[3:08] only one will actually keep it. Slides
[3:11] preserve whatever momentum that you
[3:12] enter that slide with. So, coming in at
[3:14] full speed off a Pathfinder grapple just
[3:16] to land in a stand, it's going to stop
[3:18] you near instant. This is where slides
[3:20] come in. They'll keep all that speed
[3:22] even though it's just for a short period
[3:23] of time. So, to keep the momentum for
[3:25] longer, you'll add what's called bunny
[3:27] hopping to your slide. A B hop is a way
[3:29] to keep your slide infinitely. And once
[3:31] you stop bunny hopping, you'll finally
[3:33] finish your slide. B hopping is when you
[3:34] enter a slide, but every time that you
[3:36] touch the ground, you jump, which will
[3:38] push you forward and preserve your
[3:39] momentum. You can use this when you're
[3:40] jumping off a zipline, slide jumping,
[3:43] grappling, super gliding, or anything
[3:45] that gives you momentum. This is the
[3:47] secret movement that nobody will share
[3:49] with you. It's super basic, but it does
[3:50] so much for you. Bonus movement tip:
[3:52] movement mechanics work best when you
[3:54] have a special method to hit them
[3:56] consistently. Take a super jump on
[3:57] controller or a super glide on a
[3:59] keyboard as an example. On controller, a
[4:01] super jump can be really tricky. You
[4:03] have to interact with a zipline and
[4:04] double jump. But that double jump gets a
[4:06] lot of people because by lifting your
[4:07] thumb off the jump button, you waste
[4:09] time needed to reinput on that last
[4:11] jump. But by using my personal slide
[4:13] method, you can slide your thumb over
[4:15] two buttons at once, then quickly hit
[4:17] the last button insanely fast. Or if you
[4:19] have a pro controller like the Storm
[4:21] Controller, you can do this method on
[4:22] back paddles and keep your thumbs on the
[4:24] sticks the entire time. For keyboard
[4:26] players, superglides can be very tricky.
[4:28] Having your thumb even just a hair too
[4:30] far forward will completely change your
[4:32] hand positioning and superglide timing.
[4:34] So, by flipping your key caps so that
[4:35] the crouch is slightly higher than the
[4:37] spacebar, your crouch inputs will come
[4:39] in slightly sooner. Or adjusting your
[4:41] hand position, like resting your knuckle
[4:43] between the gaps of your keys, can also
[4:45] give you more consistency in how you
[4:47] press down on the crouch and jump key.
[4:49] Or if you have a pro keyboard, you can
[4:50] also tune how far you need to press down
[4:52] each key for its input to register. So
[4:55] depending on your hand size, your grip
[4:57] or position, the type of controller or
[4:59] keyboard that you're playing on, you can
[5:00] come up with special and unique
[5:02] techniques so that you can hit specific
[5:04] movement mechanics a lot more
[5:06] consistently. Tip number five, for more
[5:08] fluid movement, incorporate more angled
[5:10] running. Too many players seem to be
[5:12] moving forwards and turning only by
[5:14] using their camera. This gives you this
[5:15] very blocky feeling where everything
[5:17] seems to happen really late across your
[5:19] screen. Instead, try running more on a
[5:20] 45° angle. This helps you look where you
[5:22] need to look, but move where you need to
[5:24] move through. Then, as you start getting
[5:26] more comfortable with this, start adding
[5:28] it to more mechanical movements. Instead
[5:30] of doing a 180°ree tap strafe, try
[5:33] running on a 45°ree angle into the tab
[5:35] strafe. That way, you only need to turn
[5:37] 135° in order to land into the wall and
[5:40] jump on out of it. This is an insanely
[5:42] basic thing, and I think that's why it
[5:44] gets overlooked a lot of the time, but
[5:45] it is 100% crucial for more consistent,
[5:48] fluid movement. Tip number six is you
[5:50] should be using gear that supports what
[5:51] you're trying to do because movement is
[5:53] very input intensive. You're constantly
[5:55] holstering your weapons, unholstering,
[5:57] interacting, double jumping, crouching,
[5:59] sliding, all while using your camera and
[6:01] other movement binds. So, if you're not
[6:02] able to hit all of your buttons at the
[6:04] same time while also keeping your thumbs
[6:06] on the camera, you're going to have a
[6:07] very big issue. So, here are three
[6:09] really good options to fix this. First
[6:10] and foremost, use a different grip like
[6:12] claw. Claw keeps your thumbs on the
[6:14] stick while using your index finger for
[6:16] your AXYB or triangle circle X square
[6:18] inputs. This is going to be really hard
[6:20] for a lot of people and it can cause
[6:21] issues in their hands over time. Which
[6:23] leads me to the second option and one
[6:25] that I personally used when I was
[6:27] playing on a default Xbox controller.
[6:28] Play with a different button layout that
[6:30] moves less essential inputs like
[6:32] punching to buttons that are less easier
[6:34] to hit and more essential inputs like
[6:36] jumping, crouching, swapping weapons to
[6:38] easier buttons to hit. The default
[6:40] preset like Ninja or Evolved are decent
[6:43] presets for this, but they're not that
[6:45] good in comparison to some of the other
[6:46] things that you can do. Which leads me
[6:48] to the third option. Get a pro
[6:50] controller. The one that you choose to
[6:51] buy honestly does not matter. The only
[6:54] thing that's important is that one, it's
[6:56] in your budget, whatever that might be.
[6:57] And two, you can comfortably hold
[7:00] whatever controller that you choose to
[7:01] get. Ideally, your Pro Controller should
[7:03] have at least four extra buttons that
[7:05] you can map your AXYB input to. And you
[7:08] should be able to hit all those four
[7:09] buttons without ever removing your
[7:10] thumbs off the sticks. And now you're
[7:12] all of a sudden able to crouch, jump,
[7:14] swap weapon, holster, reload, interact
[7:16] with certain objects without ever taking
[7:18] your thumbs off the sticks. One
[7:19] controller that really caught my
[7:20] attention recently is a brand new
[7:22] release, the Storm Controller from
[7:23] Mojang. And dude, I swear Mojang has
[7:26] been pumping out some absolute bangers
[7:28] recently. And here's the reason why.
[7:29] First and foremost, this is by far the
[7:30] most important one. It is dirt cheap.
[7:32] for 50 bucks, which is way cheaper than
[7:35] a default Xbox controller on Amazon. It
[7:37] has four paddles on the back that are
[7:39] really comfortable and really easy to
[7:40] hit all at the same time while keeping
[7:42] your thumbs on the stick. Three, it uses
[7:43] the newest version of a TMR stick, the
[7:46] KSL JS13 Pro, which according to Reddit
[7:49] from what I've seen so far, is one of
[7:50] the best, if not the best, TMR stick
[7:53] right now. Doesn't really matter for
[7:54] movement, but because you're going to be
[7:55] moving around a lot, you're going to be
[7:57] aiming a lot more, too. TMR sticks are
[7:59] the most accurate. They break the least
[8:01] amount and they have the lowest amount
[8:03] of latency out of all of the sticks on
[8:05] the market right now. The third
[8:06] function, which doesn't really matter
[8:07] too much, but it's really cool to see on
[8:09] a controller so cheap, the side handles
[8:11] have textured grip, which you almost
[8:13] never see on controllers that are sub
[8:15] $70, especially on $50 controllers.
[8:18] Function 4, it has insanely high pulling
[8:20] rates, which basically just means that
[8:21] there's a lot less latency. The
[8:23] controller is more responsive, and when
[8:24] doing very intense movements like super
[8:26] glides, which the timing is wild at, it
[8:29] helps a lot. And function number five,
[8:30] it even supports gyro, which may not
[8:32] help Xbox players that much. I don't
[8:34] know if gyro works on Xbox, but it
[8:36] definitely works on PC. And you can bind
[8:38] that gyro function to a mouse and
[8:40] keyboard input. So, if you know who
[8:41] Ecstasy is, he uses a gyro controller,
[8:43] and he also binds his gyro to MK Flick.
[8:46] That's how he's able to make such
[8:48] insanely fast movements even though
[8:50] controller has a cap on sensitivity.
[8:52] Another little bonus feature also the
[8:53] app that you need in order to modify the
[8:55] controller can all be done from your
[8:56] phone or if you have a PC you can
[8:58] download the app on your PC as well. So
[9:00] customizing the controller is insanely
[9:02] easy. And I know it doesn't need to be
[9:03] said, but I'm going to say it anyways.
[9:05] You guys know I only talk about products
[9:07] that I specifically use or would
[9:09] consider purchasing myself. And for 50
[9:11] bucks, it's really hard not to just go
[9:13] out of my way and get this controller so
[9:15] that I can give you guys a genuinely
[9:17] good review of a good controller. If you
[9:18] guys want to check it out, I'll leave an
[9:20] Amazon link in the description down
[9:21] below. I don't get any money from it.
[9:23] It's there for you. Or if you want to
[9:24] support me, if I can even figure out a
[9:25] way to do that, it'll be tagged
[9:27] somewhere on this video. Tip number
[9:28] seven. Once you've learned individual
[9:30] mechanics like wall jumps, tap strafes,
[9:32] mantle jumps, and superglides, it's time
[9:33] to learn advanced movement, which is
[9:35] just a cool way of saying chaining
[9:37] movement mechanics together. The easiest
[9:39] way to think about chaining movement is
[9:40] the last input of your first movement is
[9:43] now the first input of your last
[9:45] movement. Let's take a wall jump tap
[9:46] strafe for an example. A wall jump
[9:48] consists of a slide jump mantling onto
[9:51] the wall and jumping off the wall. The
[9:53] last input being a jump off the wall. A
[9:56] tap strafe, however, consists of a jump,
[9:58] then a scroll forward. The first input
[10:00] being a jump into the air. So, when you
[10:02] combine them together, you treat the
[10:03] jump off the wall as you would jumping
[10:05] off the ground for the tap strafe. Tip
[10:07] number eight is learning how to properly
[10:09] chain and time your mechanics together.
[10:11] A lot of people have an issue with
[10:13] especially super fast timing mechanics
[10:16] like a superglide tap strafe is they
[10:18] wait to see that they've hit the super
[10:20] glide before they go to tap strafe. And
[10:22] just like you saw right there, I
[10:24] completely missed out on being able to
[10:25] tap strafe. That's because a lot of
[10:27] mechanics like tap strafing, super
[10:29] gliding, mantle jumping have very small
[10:32] windows where you can add other
[10:33] mechanics into it. So, a pro tip when
[10:36] trying to learn how to properly chain
[10:38] mechanics together is don't wait until
[10:41] you've seen that you've hit the mechanic
[10:43] before you go to add the next one. You
[10:46] need to build a muscle memory and you
[10:47] need to build a habit of just
[10:49] understanding that that window is really
[10:51] small to input. So, you don't have any
[10:53] extra wiggle room to react. You need to
[10:55] just immediately go into the next
[10:57] mechanic as if you were going to hit it
[10:59] no matter what. This also applies to
[11:01] wall jump, tap strafing, and literally
[11:03] just any type of combining mechanics
[11:05] together. When I go for a wall jump, tap
[11:08] strafe. I'm not going to wall jump and
[11:09] then see that I hit it and then change
[11:12] because by then my tap strafe is going
[11:13] to wear off and that window is going to
[11:15] pass and my tap strafe just isn't going
[11:16] to be as strong like you saw right
[11:19] there. Tip number nine is have fun with
[11:21] your movement. Don't be so rigid and
[11:22] strict while learning things. Try wall
[11:24] jumping in new places to new spots. Try
[11:27] chaining new things that you've never
[11:28] done before or watch other movement
[11:30] players and be inspired to try new
[11:32] things. Having a really strict idea of
[11:34] how you should be using movement or
[11:35] where you can use it is why most people
[11:37] will never grow out of the limited skill
[11:39] ceiling that they've created for
[11:40] themselves. I saw this one rock on Storm
[11:42] Point and thought, "Hey, what if I try
[11:44] jumping off of it?" And lo and behold,
[11:45] it puts you on the roof of this massive
[11:47] two-story building that takes forever to
[11:50] climb up. So messing around is by far
[11:52] the best way to learn what works and
[11:54] what doesn't. and you might even find
[11:55] something that no one else ever has. Tip
[11:57] number 10 is don't use movement then try
[11:59] to aim. Instead, use movement to aim. As
[12:02] you start doing more mechanics like tap
[12:03] strafing, wall jumping, and even mantle
[12:07] jumping, you're going to be moving
[12:08] around a lot. And trying to aim after
[12:10] you've done your mechanic is a really
[12:13] good way to miss out on that very short
[12:15] window that you have to land a really
[12:16] good shot. So, what you want to make
[12:18] sure that you're always thinking of
[12:19] whenever you're incorporating movement
[12:20] into your game plays and especially into
[12:22] your gunfights, it's thinking about
[12:24] where's the movement going to place you
[12:25] and depending on where it places you,
[12:27] where are your enemies going to be. For
[12:29] example, if I were to hit something like
[12:30] a mantle jump right now, my enemies are
[12:33] going to be not just to my right, but
[12:35] down and to my right. So, making sure
[12:36] that the first thing I do when I hit my
[12:38] mantle jump is flick off to the right
[12:39] side is going to give me a much better
[12:41] chance of being accurate and on target.
[12:43] Now, when you think of aiming, you can
[12:45] think of aiming in two different ways.
[12:47] You can think of through aiming, or you
[12:49] can think of after aiming. Both are
[12:52] similar, but also very different at the
[12:54] same time. Through aiming is when you're
[12:55] thinking of where you're going to be
[12:57] aiming throughout the middle of the
[12:58] movement. For example, when I wall jump,
[13:00] he'll be bottom right of me. My wall
[13:01] jump is going to place my crosshair
[13:04] over his body. This way, I'm not trying
[13:06] to track my enemy as I'm shooting, which
[13:08] takes a lot more time. All I'm doing is
[13:10] I'm letting my movement aim for me.
[13:12] verse after aiming is where you think
[13:14] about placing your crosshair not during
[13:16] the movement but after the movement's
[13:18] finished. If I were to do something like
[13:20] slide and then hit a 180 tap strafe,
[13:22] instead of trying to track throughout
[13:25] the entire motion, I can instead focus
[13:26] on flicking my crosshair
[13:29] on where my target will be after I
[13:31] finish my motion. Wall jump. This might
[13:33] look something like
[13:35] that. And then as you get better and
[13:37] better, then you'll start getting
[13:40] more accurate with where you pre-place
[13:41] your crosshair in order to be
[13:43] successful. Building off the last tip,
[13:44] you don't just want to understand how
[13:46] your movement is going to force you to
[13:48] aim, but you also want to understand
[13:49] about how whether you're moving in
[13:51] closer or whether you're moving away
[13:52] from your target, how that is going to
[13:54] affect you to aim. When you're close to
[13:56] your target or as you move in closer to
[13:58] your target, your target is going to
[14:00] move a lot faster and further across
[14:02] your screen. especially in comparison to
[14:04] where if you were to be a little bit
[14:05] further back. The further back you are
[14:07] or the further away you are from your
[14:08] target, the slower and the shorter it's
[14:10] going to move across your screen. So
[14:11] using mechanics that bring you closer to
[14:14] your target or even past your target are
[14:16] going to force you to make very fast
[14:18] flicks with very quick and hard tracks
[14:22] versus moving away from your target.
[14:23] You're going to have a very slow and
[14:25] shallow track. Fast.
[14:29] Slow.
[14:31] Tip number 12 when learning movement is
[14:33] actually look in the direction that
[14:34] you're trying to go when you use a
[14:36] movement mechanic. A lot of the time I
[14:37] see people trying to do very specific
[14:39] movements like 180° cap strafes, 90°
[14:42] mantle jumps, and a whole bunch of
[14:44] different wild type of movements like a
[14:47] 180 180 cap strafe mantle jump. And the
[14:49] reason why a lot of the time their
[14:50] movement looks something like this when
[14:52] they try to hit 180s instead of like
[14:54] this is because they don't actually turn
[14:56] in the direction that they're trying to
[14:58] go. Don't just turn based off of what
[15:00] you're seeing on your screen. Or don't
[15:02] turn based off of what you think you
[15:03] should be doing. Actually work on
[15:05] building a muscle memory of what is
[15:07] 180°. This is going to make your
[15:09] directional movement a lot more
[15:11] consistent, especially once you start
[15:12] learning how to do very specific
[15:14] movement tech like 180 mantle jumps or
[15:17] directional tap strafes. And it's
[15:19] especially going to be useful once you
[15:21] start learning how to aim with your
[15:23] movement. Really quick example. A lot of
[15:24] people when they start doing movements
[15:26] like tap strafing, when they go to hit a
[15:28] tap strafe, they don't actually look in
[15:30] the direction that they were meaning to
[15:31] look. And by not perfectly moving into
[15:33] that direction, it makes their final
[15:35] adjustment onto target very difficult.
[15:38] So, actually practice turning in the
[15:40] specific direction that you were trying
[15:42] to go. That might seem very obvious, but
[15:44] it's not a skill that a lot of people
[15:45] practice. Tip number 13 is add movement
[15:48] to the sections of your gameplay where
[15:50] you have to have natural pauses. There's
[15:52] so many different things in this game
[15:53] that force you to pause, like reloading,
[15:55] cocking your gun, and even healing. So,
[15:57] instead of dealing with those really
[15:59] awkward pauses in your gameplay, add
[16:01] movement to your gameplay to fill in
[16:03] those blank spots. If I'm in the middle
[16:04] of a 1 v one and I have to hit a reload,
[16:07] adding a wall jump to my movement is
[16:09] going to help me be a little bit harder
[16:10] to hit while I do something that is
[16:11] effectively taking me out of the
[16:13] gunfight. or as I slide in to hit a
[16:14] peacekeeper shot, instead of waiting for
[16:16] my peacekeeper to be cocked before I
[16:18] shoot it again, I might add a tab
[16:19] strafe,
[16:21] a wall jump, or even a mantle boost so
[16:24] that I can always keep myself moving in
[16:26] sections of my gameplay that will
[16:27] typically slow me down. And tip number
[16:29] 14, make sure that you like the video
