The BIGGEST Movement Secrets that Pros WONT Tell You...

[00:00] Do you want your movement to look more

[00:01] like this?

[00:04] But no matter how much you practice,

[00:06] your best clips always end up looking

[00:08] like.

[00:11] [Music]

[00:12] Well, that's okay because in today's

[00:14] video, I'm going to be showing you how

[00:15] to move two to three times as fast as

[00:17] you normally do using the secrets that

[00:19] pros and do not want you to know. But

[00:21] I'm not just going to be teaching you

[00:22] how to move faster. I'm going to teach

[00:24] you what makes you move slower, what you

[00:26] can do to build off of moving faster,

[00:28] and more importantly, how to

[00:30] legitimately use these techniques

[00:32] properly at the right time. But why

[00:34] should you listen to me instead of all

[00:36] the amazing other coaches out there? Tim

[00:39] Pro, Coach Frosty. Hi guys, my name's

[00:41] Dro. I've been coaching Apex

[00:43] professionally for the last 5 years, and

[00:44] I've helped people from professional

[00:46] levels all the way down to the absolute

[00:48] noobs of Apex reach their desired rank.

[00:51] I don't just make guides on how to do

[00:53] certain things, but I make them

[00:54] understandable and approachable so that

[00:56] no matter what level of player you are,

[00:58] you will be able to walk away today

[00:59] knowing absolutely how to do everything

[01:01] that we talked about in this video as

[01:03] easily and as effectively as possible.

[01:05] If you want to keep getting better at

[01:07] other aspects in Apex Legends, like your

[01:09] aiming, your positioning, your game

[01:44] person from each video who comments

[01:46] coaching to get a free coaching session

[01:48] in the firing range. Now, let's holster

[01:49] your keyboard and let's get right onto

[01:51] this video. All right, gang. So, what

[01:53] we're going to be doing is we're going

[01:54] to be going over and covering a handful

[01:57] of different ways that you can

[01:59] essentially get your body to move around

[02:01] faster. Now, none of these mechanics are

[02:03] going to be, you know, insane or crazy.

[02:06] Honestly, everything that we're going to

[02:08] cover today, you can do on any platform

[02:11] or any input. So, if you're on Switch,

[02:13] if you're on controller, PC, mouse and

[02:16] keyboard, console, it doesn't really

[02:18] matter. you'll be able to do it no

[02:19] matter what. But like I said, what we're

[02:20] basically going to be doing today is

[02:22] we're going to be starting off with a

[02:23] very basic way on how to slide. And from

[02:26] there, what we're going to do is we're

[02:28] going to take it up a notch and we're

[02:29] going to add new skills to said slide to

[02:32] make it even that much more effective.

[02:34] Now, this is something that I coach

[02:36] everybody on um whenever I'm doing Apex

[02:38] Legends coaching sessions. So, you may

[02:40] have already seen this before, but I'm

[02:42] going to be talking a lot about a whole

[02:44] bunch of things that go into it. So,

[02:46] even if you know what we're going to be

[02:48] doing today, or maybe you already know

[02:50] how to do it, I can almost guarantee

[02:52] we're going to cover a thing or two that

[02:54] you didn't know that's going to either

[02:55] make it one more consistent or two, it's

[02:58] going to make it a lot easier for you to

[03:00] hit in general. So, to start off with

[03:03] what we're going to be talking about, we

[03:05] are talking about instant advance and

[03:08] instant swap slides. Now, these are

[03:10] terms that I have given it myself. It's

[03:12] not like this is a super concrete, you

[03:14] know, terminology. You might hear, you

[03:17] know, a lot of people talk about it

[03:18] because, you know, we've talked about it

[03:19] for so many years that it might have

[03:21] just grown on by now. Some people call

[03:23] it fade slides, but they also don't

[03:25] really know exactly what fade slides are

[03:27] to begin with, and they they kind of

[03:29] confuse fade slides with what we're

[03:30] going to be talking about. Now, when it

[03:32] comes to moving our body around, there

[03:33] are two main things that we need to keep

[03:35] in mind, or rather, there's two main

[03:37] factors that's going to determine how

[03:39] your body moves. And because of that,

[03:40] there's going to affect you in a whole

[03:42] bunch of different ways. The main way

[03:43] that a lot of people are going to be

[03:45] moving their body is moving their body

[03:46] with their gun in their hand. And the

[03:48] second way is going to be moving their

[03:50] body with their weapon holstered. Now,

[03:52] just a quick note, if you have an

[03:53] heirloom or if you don't and you just

[03:56] play with your fists, it's not going to

[03:57] make a difference. Your heirloom is just

[03:58] a pure cosmetic thing. It doesn't do

[04:00] anything to the game other than maybe

[04:02] give you some visual confirmation as to

[04:04] like what state your body is in. But

[04:06] maybe we'll talk about that in a later

[04:07] video. But regardless, there's two main

[04:09] ways that we're moving our body. With

[04:10] our gun in hand and with our gun

[04:12] holstered. Now, everyone knows that when

[04:14] you move with your gun in your hand, you

[04:15] naturally move a little bit slower

[04:17] compared to when your weapon is

[04:19] holstered. So, something that we want to

[04:21] keep in mind, or something that we want

[04:22] to be thinking about in general, is what

[04:25] is your goal in this specific moment? Is

[04:27] my goal to be shooting my gun, or is my

[04:30] goal to be moving my body forwards into

[04:33] a fight, backwards out of a fight, or am

[04:36] I trying to take a new position off to

[04:38] the side and engage from somewhere else?

[04:40] What is your goal right now? Is it to

[04:42] fight or is it to move? If your goal in

[04:43] general is to move, then in general,

[04:46] your weapon should just be going down.

[04:48] You always want to make sure that you're

[04:49] attacking your goal with whatever means

[04:52] possible. for me and for I would say

[04:54] 99.99%

[04:56] of pro players and especially movement

[04:58] players like Fade, Ecstasy, Lemon Head,

[05:01] Sylus, movementless I think his name is,

[05:03] what you're going to notice is every

[05:04] time, or maybe not every time, but a lot

[05:06] of the time when we're trying to move

[05:08] our body, we're going to be holstering

[05:09] our weapon. A lot of people think that

[05:11] we're holstering our weapon just so that

[05:13] we can take out the very fancy heirloom

[05:16] that we spent hundreds of dollars on. In

[05:17] reality, you know, that might be one of

[05:19] the factors, but it's usually, if not

[05:22] only, because we're trying to get that

[05:24] movement speed boost. Now, this movement

[05:26] speed boost doesn't just affect your

[05:28] running speed. It also affects what

[05:30] we're mostly going to be talking about

[05:31] today, your sliding. Now, if I want to

[05:34] take a slide with my gun in my hand,

[05:36] keep in mind that it makes you run

[05:38] slower, which means that your slide

[05:40] isn't going to have nearly as much

[05:42] velocity, which basically just means

[05:44] speed, as you're trying to slide towards

[05:46] someone or slide away from someone. So,

[05:48] in general, your slides are going to be

[05:50] slower. Because your slides are slower,

[05:52] I'll just use maybe this line right here

[05:55] as a guideline. Because your slides are

[05:57] slower, your slides also don't go

[06:02] as far compared to if you were to

[06:04] holster your weapon.

[06:09] You can see that you get a little bit

[06:11] more distance. Now, is that 1 to 2 m

[06:14] going to make or break a fight? Probably

[06:16] not. But being able to move your body

[06:18] faster and further in general is

[06:21] helpful. Imagine if you're trying to

[06:23] slide to this box hypothetically and you

[06:25] end up stopping. Sure, you're going to

[06:27] get destroyed and you know is probably

[06:29] not going to benefit you as opposed to

[06:31] if your slide had actually taken you to

[06:33] where you wanted to go. Now, on top of

[06:35] this, moving with your gun in your hand

[06:38] doesn't just affect your sliding speed

[06:41] and your sliding distance, but it also

[06:43] affects when you can even get into the

[06:45] mechanic itself. So, for instance, let's

[06:46] just say I'm trying to fight this

[06:48] person. I got some good damage on him

[06:50] and I'm really confident that if I push

[06:52] him, I can kill this guy for sure. Get

[06:55] up in his face and finish off that one

[06:57] mag on him. If I want to take a slide

[06:59] with my gun in hand, I need to take a

[07:01] minimum of one, two, three steps. If I

[07:04] take anything shorter than those three

[07:05] steps one two

[07:08] one, you're either going to get what's

[07:10] known as a dead slide, which is a really

[07:13] slow, short slide, or what you're going

[07:15] to get is a no slide. Another way to

[07:18] think of a dead slide where you get

[07:20] stuck into a crouch. Now, this is really

[07:22] detrimental to your gameplay. If I'm

[07:24] trying to fight this person, I got that

[07:26] good break. I'm trying to push up on

[07:27] them and I go crouch and now I'm stuck

[07:29] in the open. Well, one, I'm a slow

[07:31] target as I'm running out into the open.

[07:34] Two, I'm not able to slide right away,

[07:37] which means that I'm also really easy to

[07:39] hit. I'm just a running target. And

[07:42] three, I'm actually not getting into

[07:44] that slide or I'm getting stuck right

[07:46] here in the open. And that in general

[07:48] also is just going to cause so many

[07:50] issues for your gameplay. Now, something

[07:52] that a lot of people don't know about is

[07:54] something called bullet fatigue. And

[07:56] bullet fatigue is when you're running

[07:58] around in a sprint and as you get shot,

[08:01] it cancels your sprint and you're forced

[08:04] to walk for a split second. This is

[08:06] really important because if you're

[08:08] trying to get into a slide, you need to

[08:11] make sure that your body is sprinting.

[08:13] If you're walking, you're just going to

[08:15] crouch. So, imagine you're taking a

[08:17] gunfight with someone and as you're

[08:19] trying to slide out into the open, what

[08:21] ends up happening is you get forced to

[08:23] walk and now you can't hit that sprint,

[08:26] you can't enter a slide, and you end up

[08:28] getting shot for it. So, in general,

[08:30] moving with your gun in your hand simply

[08:33] causes a whole bunch of disadvantages.

[08:35] Now, as soon as we holster the weapon,

[08:37] not only do we run faster, which means

[08:39] that our slides are also faster, but

[08:42] we've also completely removed the issue

[08:44] of needing to take one, two, three

[08:47] steps. Now, as soon as we holster our

[08:49] weapon, as soon as you take one slide,

[08:51] or as soon as you take one step, you can

[08:54] instantly get into that slide. Meaning,

[08:56] if I'm fighting someone and I'm in

[08:58] behind my cover, as I'm shooting, I'm

[09:01] going to holster my weapon and it's

[09:04] going to allow me to come out into the

[09:07] open into a slide instantaneously.

[09:10] This is what we would call an instant

[09:12] slide.

[09:15] Now, instant sliding doesn't just give

[09:17] you the benefit of sliding further,

[09:20] sliding faster, sliding when you want,

[09:22] but it also helps you completely remove

[09:25] the chance of getting stopped before

[09:27] you're able to enter the slide.

[09:29] Remember, when your gun is in your hand

[09:31] and you need to take three steps into

[09:32] the open, 1 2 3. If you get shot during

[09:36] those three steps, it cancels your

[09:38] sprint. You're forced to walk. And if

[09:42] you go for a slide midw walk, you're

[09:44] gonna get stuck in a crouch and it's

[09:46] going to completely mess up your

[09:47] movement. But if you practice holstering

[09:49] your weapon before you try to move, if

[09:51] you take one step into the cover, when

[09:54] you take one step back out, you can

[09:57] slide from behind the cover or off of

[10:00] the corner. That's going to keep you

[10:01] safe. So, let's just say I'm fighting my

[10:03] opponent from right here. Instead of

[10:06] taking one step out in the open and

[10:09] sliding, instead of what I'm going to do

[10:10] is I'm going to take one step into

[10:13] cover. And then when I go to crouch or

[10:15] slide, I'm actually sliding about right

[10:18] here where he can't see me. And I'm

[10:21] entering that slide into the open. When

[10:23] you're moving your body, there's two

[10:24] different types of way to move your

[10:26] body. There's momentum generating

[10:28] mechanics and momentum keeping

[10:31] mechanics. Momentum generating mechanics

[10:34] are things that you're doing in the

[10:36] moment that make you move. And if you

[10:38] stop doing that action, you stop moving

[10:40] your body. Momentum keeping mechanics is

[10:44] mechanic that once you have momentum,

[10:46] you can use it indefinitely and nothing

[10:49] can stop you until that mechanic

[10:52] eventually runs out. So for instance, a

[10:54] bunny hop, I'm actually not holding

[10:56] forward. All I'm doing is I'm keeping my

[10:59] body moving by jumping. And the jump

[11:02] keeps all of that momentum. So, whatever

[11:04] speed you go into that mechanic with, I

[11:07] can keep that momentum

[11:10] indefinitely. A slide keeps your

[11:13] momentum until it eventually slowly runs

[11:17] out. Now, with this in mind, once I'm in

[11:20] cover and I slide out, because I'm now

[11:24] transferring my body from a momentum

[11:26] generating mechanic to a momentum

[11:28] keeping mechanic as I slide out, there's

[11:30] no way for my opponent to stop my

[11:32] movement. Meaning, once I've entered

[11:34] that slide, he can't stop me from

[11:36] pushing him. Or if I'm in a defensive

[11:38] position, once I enter that slide,

[11:41] there's nothing he can do to stop me

[11:43] from moving backwards. But if I were to

[11:45] try to do this with my gun in hand once

[11:47] I start pushing out and he shoots me,

[11:49] he's able to stop my push forward by

[11:51] stopping my momentum or he's able to

[11:53] stop me from running back by canceling

[11:55] my sprint. So that's why it's super

[11:57] important that we try to use instant

[11:59] slides as often as possible. Holster our

[12:01] weapon behind cover, slide out, and now

[12:05] there's nothing that they can do to stop

[12:06] our momentum. This also stacks really

[12:09] strong with shooting. That's because if

[12:12] your gun is in your hand, if you try to

[12:13] sprint and then shoot, it's going to

[12:16] force you into a walk. Especially if

[12:18] you're aiming down sight, you're going

[12:20] to move even that much slower. So

[12:22] instead, if we can hold that momentum,

[12:25] you can essentially shoot your gun while

[12:29] sprinting because you're carrying that

[12:32] momentum with a slide where you're

[12:34] carrying that momentum with a bunny hop.

[12:36] Now, that is instant sliding. Super

[12:38] basic. We're going to shoot, holster our

[12:42] gun behind cover, slide out with one

[12:45] singular step. Now, we can change this

[12:47] instant slide to an advanced slide. An

[12:50] advanced slide is very similar. The only

[12:52] difference is when we actually take out

[12:54] the weapon. Now, right now, we have

[12:56] fixed all these issues of moving slow,

[12:58] not being able to slide when we want,

[13:00] removing the issue of possibly getting

[13:03] your sprint canceled, being able to

[13:05] slide further. We fixed all of those

[13:08] issues, but we created an issue by

[13:10] accident. Before, at the very least,

[13:12] with our gun in hand, we could shoot

[13:14] whenever we wanted because our gun was

[13:16] in our hand. But now that our gun's

[13:17] down, if I'm here and I go to push out,

[13:21] my gun comes out really late from when I

[13:23] left the cover, which means that even

[13:25] though I'm doing the action that I want,

[13:27] I can't follow up with what I want to

[13:29] do, shooting my gun right away.

[13:33] So, here's how we're going to fix this.

[13:34] When we holster our weapon, there's a

[13:36] little white dot that appears in the

[13:38] center of our screen. This is your

[13:39] holster crosshair. Very similar to

[13:41] having a weapon crosshair. This holster

[13:44] crosshair, if I were to hit my swap

[13:47] weapon bind, whether you're on

[13:48] controller, this might be your Y or your

[13:50] triangle or a paddle, or if you're on

[13:53] mouse and keyboard, whatever you set it

[13:54] bound to. For me, it's one of these side

[13:56] buttons on my mouse. When I go to hit

[13:58] that bind in 3 2 1, you'll notice that

[14:02] that onscreen crosshair doesn't change

[14:04] right away. I'll do that again and pay

[14:06] attention to it. My holster crosshair.

[14:08] So, right now, I have primed my body to

[14:10] move fast. As long as you see that

[14:12] crosshair, that's the state that your

[14:14] body's in. So, right now, my body's

[14:15] ready to move fast. Gun down. I'm going

[14:17] to hit my button in 3 2 1. And you can

[14:21] see that that crosshair doesn't

[14:23] immediately change. It takes about half

[14:25] of a second. That half second change is

[14:28] your body transitioning from gun down

[14:30] moving fast to gun in hand moving slow

[14:33] again. This means because there's a half

[14:36] second delay that you have half of a

[14:38] second where your body will still gun

[14:40] down move fast. So, if I'm in cover and

[14:43] I'm shooting someone,

[14:45] if I holster my gun and then I hit swap

[14:48] weapon, for that half second, I can

[14:52] actually still slide out using the

[14:55] instant slide mechanic that we just

[14:56] learned a moment ago. So, what we're

[14:58] basically going to practice is peeking,

[15:00] holstering into cover, swap, step,

[15:04] crouch, jump. If the jump is one

[15:06] mechanic that is just kind of messing

[15:08] you up, it's like one too many steps for

[15:10] you, just remove it and add it later in

[15:12] the future. Holster on holster slide,

[15:16] holster on holster slide. And now you

[15:19] can see from the very beginning, we've

[15:21] changed our method of sliding from

[15:23] shooting 1 2 3.

[15:27] We then moved it to shooting holster

[15:32] slide out. And now we've fixed it to

[15:35] peeking holster on holster sliding.

[15:38] You can see that you're able to shoot

[15:40] your gun at the very top of your slide

[15:44] jump now as opposed to at the bottom of

[15:48] your slide jump. Now, this should be the

[15:51] new way that you slide from here on out.

[15:53] This mechanic has almost zero downsides

[15:55] other than the half second it takes to

[15:58] holster your weapon and the half second

[15:59] it takes to unholster your weapon. But

[16:02] that 1 second of setting yourself up is

[16:05] helping you one move faster, two, move

[16:09] further, three, move sooner, and four,

[16:13] actually be able to shoot your gun as

[16:15] soon as possible. So for 1 second of

[16:18] setting yourself up, you get a vast

[16:20] amount of benefits out of it. Like I

[16:21] said, this should be the new way that

[16:23] you want to be moving from now on. As

[16:24] you're shooting, you should be using

[16:26] this to push up with your gun in your

[16:27] hand. as you're in a gunfight and you

[16:29] don't like your position, you should be

[16:30] using this as a way to slide backwards

[16:33] while still being able to keep your gun

[16:35] in hand once you land on the ground. So,

[16:37] as I'm fighting holster on holster

[16:40] slide, I'm able to flick back around and

[16:43] keep fighting as I'm moving away. I want

[16:46] to push into this fight. Oh, I'm losing

[16:47] my health. I don't really like this.

[16:49] Holster on holster slide. Move back. I'm

[16:51] able to get back into fighting. I like

[16:53] that push. I'm going use work my way up.

[16:55] Oh, too many people in front of me. Move

[16:57] back a little bit. You know what? Now

[16:59] I'm winning this fight. I'm going to

[17:00] start working my way back in. Holster on

[17:02] holster. Slide. Move up. I got a dead

[17:03] slide there cuz I accidentally made a

[17:05] mistake.

[17:07] But as you can see, it is such a

[17:09] powerful way to move your body around as

[17:11] fast as possible. Now, just a moment

[17:13] ago, I ended up making a mechanical

[17:15] mistake and I accidentally didn't get

[17:17] into the slide the way that I wanted to.

[17:20] Even though my gun's down, for some

[17:21] reason, I'm not sliding right now.

[17:23] That's because even though we don't need

[17:25] to take one, two, three steps and now we

[17:28] just need to take one step, I

[17:30] accidentally didn't even take that full

[17:32] step and instead I crouched way too

[17:35] soon. So this is where things like

[17:37] heirlooms can actually be pretty

[17:38] beneficial because once you see your

[17:41] heirloom make a full rotation from where

[17:44] it is right here to off to that right

[17:46] side, now I know that I have sprinted

[17:49] long enough to enter a slide. You could

[17:51] probably hit a slide with the wraith

[17:53] heirloom being at about halfway or

[17:56] pointing towards your wraith portal. The

[17:58] heirloom is going to be different on

[18:00] every legend. The speeds, the

[18:01] animations, everything will be

[18:03] different. So, it's not going to be the

[18:04] best visualizer, but is a tool that you

[18:06] could possibly use to help you get a

[18:08] little bit more consistent if you're

[18:10] having an issue with this mechanic. Now,

[18:12] at the end of the day, this is just a

[18:14] tool to help you move your body sooner

[18:17] and to help you move your body faster.

[18:18] This is not going to absolutely make and

[18:21] break a fight. It's not going to

[18:22] completely break someone's ankles. It's

[18:24] not going to make you invincible, but it

[18:26] is something that you can use to help

[18:28] you push into fights more aggressively.

[18:30] Remove yourself from fights faster and

[18:33] more safely and set yourself up into new

[18:36] positions more effectively. Your goal if

[18:39] you want to take this very basic way of

[18:42] moving your body to the next level is

[18:44] trying to figure out how can you chain

[18:46] this into the next thing that you're

[18:48] trying to do. How can I apply this to

[18:50] what my current goal is or what my

[18:53] future goals are? For instance, maybe

[18:55] right now I'm fighting this person. If I

[18:57] were to try and push past him, he's

[19:00] going to shoot me. He's going to cancel

[19:02] my sprint and he's going to make me stop

[19:03] and move slow. So instead, what I'm

[19:06] going to do is I'm going to instant

[19:08] slide, which is going to put me into a

[19:11] momentum carrying mechanic. Either a

[19:13] slide or a bunny hop. And from here,

[19:17] that momentum is going to be carried to

[19:19] this wall. From the wall, I can use this

[19:23] to possibly set myself up to break his

[19:25] ankle. As I carry myself here, I can

[19:30] break his ankle and come on back into

[19:33] this fight. So again, everything is a

[19:35] tool that you are trying to use to set

[19:37] yourself up for the next step of your

[19:40] fight. I see a lot of people who take

[19:42] mechanics and they use them 24/7 and

[19:45] they to some degree almost abuse them

[19:48] and they wonder why they never get

[19:49] better. It's because they're taking

[19:52] something that can be used in a whole

[19:53] bunch of situations and they use it in

[19:55] every situation, but not every situation

[19:57] needs that specific movement or

[20:00] mechanic. So again going forward

[20:02] practice how can I use a specific method

[20:06] of moving my body to benefit me

[20:09] depending on whatever situation I am

[20:12] currently in. Now if you want to be able

[20:15] to do this mechanic more consistently.

[20:19] One of the tips that I could give you is

[20:21] customizing your either mouse and

[20:23] keyboard keybinds or customizing your

[20:26] controller button layout so that you can

[20:28] hit the buttons that need to be hit more

[20:31] consistently and more easily. Now, for

[20:33] people who are on mouse and keyboard,

[20:35] the binds that I use specifically to be

[20:38] able to do this easily in my opinion is

[20:40] instead of using one, two, and three as

[20:42] my primary, secondary, and holster

[20:44] weapon, instead what I do is I use cycle

[20:46] weapon instead of weapon one and two. My

[20:49] cycle weapon is bound to the most

[20:51] forward side button on my mouse. So, in

[20:54] this case, it would be mouse 5. For my

[20:56] holster, I swapped my holster from the

[20:58] three key and I moved it over to the

[21:00] most further back side button on my

[21:03] mouse. I play with the Razer Viper V3

[21:05] Pro and I have two side buttons. So, my

[21:08] forward side button is cycle weapon. My

[21:10] backside button is holster. This makes

[21:12] it really easy for me to hit back

[21:15] forward step crouch jump backside button

[21:19] forward side button step forward crouch.

[21:23] So all of my weapon mechanics, swapping

[21:27] and holstering, looking around, aiming

[21:30] and shooting, anything that revolves

[21:32] around my weapon is all done with my

[21:34] right hand. Anything that it involves

[21:36] moving, moving forwards, backwards,

[21:38] left, right, crouching, and jumping is

[21:40] all done with my left hand. So, I've

[21:44] separated mechanically my right side of

[21:47] my brain or my right hand for aiming and

[21:49] the left side of my brain, my left hand

[21:51] for movement. This makes it a lot easier

[21:54] for me to focus on doing two different

[21:56] things at once, like incorporating my

[21:59] aiming mechanics into my movement or my

[22:01] movement mechanics into my aiming. Now,

[22:03] the best thing that you can do if you

[22:05] play on controller and you want to have

[22:06] the most consistent movement possible,

[22:08] you're going to need to play with a pro

[22:11] controller with at least four paddles on

[22:13] the back of your controller. Four

[22:15] paddles is the most optimal. Anything

[22:17] less, like Edge Pro Controller that only

[22:19] has two paddles is very unoptimal, and

[22:22] anything over four paddles starts to be

[22:24] pretty clunky in the back. Now, it is

[22:27] possible to use more than four. Like I

[22:28] know some controllers have like six to

[22:30] like eight back buttons, but for

[22:33] paddles, paddles is the key word is most

[22:36] optimal. Paddles are a lot wider

[22:38] typically, so it's going to be a lot

[22:40] easier to hit with your fingers,

[22:41] especially if you have big fingers. I

[22:43] know me personally playing with back

[22:45] buttons, my fingers would always like

[22:46] misclick because those buttons are so

[22:48] tiny. My fingers were so much bigger

[22:50] than them. So by having bigger paddles,

[22:52] it makes it easier, more consistent. On

[22:54] top of that as well, the most important

[22:56] thing when it comes to your movement is

[22:58] being able to keep your thumb on the

[23:00] analog stick while you're hitting the

[23:02] face plate buttons. Ax YB. The reason

[23:05] why this is important is because you

[23:06] want to be able to aim while you're

[23:08] crouching and aim while you're jumping

[23:11] around and aim while you're interacting

[23:13] with loot on the ground. So you can

[23:14] basically look around and loot

[23:16] everything instead of strafing your body

[23:18] to pick everything up. You should also,

[23:21] really important, be able to look around

[23:23] while you're setting yourself up to

[23:25] unholster and swap your gun and get into

[23:29] those instant slides. So, when we start

[23:31] doing mechanics like instant slides

[23:33] where you have to hold Y to put your gun

[23:36] down, tap Y to bring it out, hit crouch,

[23:40] and hit A, you're hitting four inputs.

[23:43] One of them is a delayed long input, all

[23:46] while you can't look around. So having

[23:49] those paddles on the back and mapping

[23:51] your four buttons to them is going to

[23:53] help you do that way more consistently.

[23:55] The way that I would map my back paddles

[23:58] is mapping your crouch to your top left

[24:01] paddle, your jump to your top right

[24:04] paddle, your interact to your bottom

[24:07] right paddle, and your swap weapon to

[24:10] your bottom left paddle. Now, if this is

[24:12] really uncomfortable, you're more than

[24:14] welcome to change it, but there's a

[24:16] reason behind why I would set it up this

[24:18] way. You want to make sure that the

[24:19] buttons you hit the most are on the hand

[24:21] that you use the least or that is the

[24:23] least important. Your right hand is the

[24:25] most important because you are aiming

[24:27] 24/7 with it. The last thing you want to

[24:29] do is be spamming crouch while you're

[24:32] trying to aim and that's tensing all of

[24:35] the muscles in your forearm and forcing

[24:36] you to miss extra shots that you don't

[24:38] need to be missing. So, if we are going

[24:40] to be sliding non-stop to reposition

[24:43] oursel or holstering and swapping our

[24:45] weapon over and over again, that's why

[24:46] we put our Y on our least used hand, the

[24:49] left. We also are going to be crouching

[24:52] a lot. Spam crouching as you are in a

[24:55] gunfight.

[24:58] You're going to be crouching in and out

[25:00] of cover

[25:02] and sliding around a lot. as well. If

[25:05] you're playing hold to crouch, which you

[25:07] should be if you have a Pro Controller,

[25:09] you're going to be holding crouch as

[25:12] you're bunny hopping around or as you're

[25:14] sliding

[25:16] in and out of a gunfight, which means

[25:18] that you don't want to be holding a

[25:20] button non-stop if you're trying to aim

[25:22] at the same time. Now, my favorite go-to

[25:24] controllers are the ones over at Aim

[25:26] Controllers. Not only do they have a

[25:28] lifetime warranty, but in my opinion, I

[25:31] have played with a handful of different

[25:33] pro controllers. From Scuf to

[25:35] PlayStation to the Xbox Elites to Battle

[25:38] Beavers to Hex Gaming controllers, I've

[25:40] played with everything. And my favorite

[25:42] shaped paddles and the most responsive

[25:44] in my opinion are the ones from Aim

[25:46] Controllers. Now, let's just say you

[25:48] can't afford a Pro Controller. That's

[25:50] totally fine. The next two best options

[25:53] that you could play are going to be

[25:55] ninja, which lets you crouch with your

[25:57] paddles and jump with your paddles, but

[25:59] it doesn't let you swap your weapon. Or

[26:02] what you could also do is play

[26:03] customized. Now, like I said, you want

[26:05] to put your crouch on your left side.

[26:08] So, by playing on customized, it would

[26:10] let you move your crouch over to your

[26:12] left, your jump over to your right, and

[26:15] then you could set your cycle weapon to

[26:18] your analog stick. That way you're

[26:20] swapping while keeping your thumb on the

[26:22] stick. Really important. You're

[26:23] crouching while keeping your thumb on

[26:25] the stick. Really important. And then

[26:27] you would be jumping while keeping your

[26:29] thumb on the stick. Really important.

[26:31] Now, that is how you are going to be

[26:33] moving around as fast as possible. One

[26:37] more tip that you could use, this is

[26:39] mostly just for controller players

[26:40] because only controller players have aim

[26:42] assist. You're going to want to also, if

[26:45] you play with advanced look controls,

[26:47] scroll all the way down to your

[26:49] targeting compensation, which is your

[26:50] aim assist. And you're going to want to

[26:52] turn off your melee target compensation.

[26:55] This is your aim assist when your weapon

[26:57] is holstered. And the reason why you

[26:59] want to turn this off, if you're in

[27:01] front of someone and every time that you

[27:03] move with your weapon in hand, it sticks

[27:05] to that person, even though it's maybe

[27:07] not the most strongest aim assist,

[27:09] depending on your sensitivity or if

[27:11] you're on console or PC. But when you

[27:14] try to move away, what's going to end up

[27:15] happening as you try to turn and move

[27:18] away from that person, is your aim

[27:19] assist is going to stick on them and

[27:21] it's going to feel very uncomfortable

[27:23] as you try to turn away. It's basically

[27:26] going to slow your movement down. So, if

[27:29] you turn off your melee target

[27:32] compensation, when you holster your

[27:34] weapon, you can move side to side and

[27:37] your aim assist won't stick to your

[27:39] target. Meaning, when you go to slide

[27:42] into the fight, you'll have aim assist.

[27:45] And when you go to leave the fight, you

[27:47] won't have aim assist. and it will make

[27:49] it easier to move in

[27:53] and out

[27:55] of those situations. Now, that is

[27:57] absolutely everything that you need to

[27:59] know on how to move faster in Apex

[28:01] Legends. If this video helped you out at

[28:03] all, make sure to leave a like,

[28:06] subscribe, and comment what your hardest

[28:09] part of learning this mechanic was so

[28:10] that other people know if they should be

[28:13] having issues as well as they try to

[28:15] learn it. This is not going to be the

[28:16] easiest mechanic for most people. So,

[28:18] definitely make sure to let people know

[28:19] if you're also having issues so that

[28:21] people don't feel left out. One last

[28:23] thing, if you do want to continuously be

[28:24] getting better at Apex Legends or figure

[28:26] out why maybe you're having any

[28:28] mechanical issues, whether it be with

[28:29] your super glides, your super jumps,

[28:32] your movement, your aim, or how you take

[28:35] and approach fights. Maybe you're not

[28:36] dropping as high damage as you want.
