Apex Legends’ best feature could be its biggest barrier to entry

Remove its outlandish movement tech and Apex Legends would lose the flair that makes it one of the most-loved first-person shooters today. From iconic tap strafing to the latest config files, movement in Apex is about as diverse as it can get. But when it comes to newcomers exploring Apex for the first time, these movement options could be more of a hindrance than a help.

It usually isn’t a newbie’s cup of tea to play against movement experts as they hop, jump, strafe, and glide to dodge bullets and reposition mid-combat. Beginners generally struggle to keep track of Apex’s better players in the heat of battle. Of course, config files and scripting help players to pull off these tricks without practice, but they’re only making things worse.
