Apex is a hero battle royale with fluid movement and ability‑driven fights. The meta balances movement skills, damage output and legend utility to control zones and win end circles.

Legend Composition

Squads typically consist of one Recon legend (Bloodhound, Seer) for information, one Controller or Support (Caustic, Gibraltar, Newcastle) for area control and healing, and one Mobility/Assault legend (Wraith, Horizon, Octane) to engage or escape. Legends like Valkyrie and Pathfinder provide map mobility, enabling early rotations to ring positions.

Movement & Rotations

Sliding, wall jumps and tap strafes allow players to reposition quickly. Meta teams rotate early to high‑ground positions in the next ring, avoiding late fights that attract third parties. Avoid hot drops if you want consistent wins; instead, loot quickly, craft batteries and reposition before the fighting erupts.

Weapons & Endgame

Current meta weapons include the R‑99, CAR SMG, Nemesis AR, Peacekeeper and Kraber. Run an SMG paired with a mid‑range rifle or marksman weapon. In the late game, holding height with Caustic traps or Catalyst walls often secures wins. Play for position rather than kills in ranked.
