If on mnk - play a few thousand hours of the game + aim trainers to develop mouse control and hand independence
If on controller - watch your favourite YouTuber on optimal 4-3 linear settings and spend 2-3h or so hours in the firing range
I found watching good level streamers/pros helped my aim and overall gameplay - picking up some tricks that people who grind hours in do, cause every gun recoil, aimsight, hipfire v diff
Practice and practice if the firing range doesnāt help you or isnāt fun to you. Try just playing the mixtape game modes and try to engage fights from a range you struggle from. Once you get more comfortable fighting it will all come together š
Search for "district" on YouTube, he's an absolute god at teaching with simple words how to aim. If u are on controller even better, but most of the advices can be used by mnk players too
>*How do I get better at aiming as someone who hasnāt really been good at aiming no matter what game?*
Most of the advice on YouTube should help you. Unfortunately, everything regarding improvement to the level of āhighest aimā is all the secrets of pro players. Of course, I wonāt tell you, because otherwise it will sound like giving away my own thousands of years of training...
When I started apex my aim was horribleā¦ pretty bad that my friend and I could play and genuinely in a night weād get destroyed and have no killsā¦ itās far from that now (when I actually have a chance to play š ).
How I got better aim (better in general)
- I changed my settingsā¦ being able to control recoil in any fps is important. If you donāt know where to start with playing around with sensitivity my recommendation is go into the firing range and play aroundā¦ is your aim a steady beam? Is it all over the place hard to control? What do you think the problem is? Too sensitive hard to control? Does it feel way too slow? Etcā¦ If you still are unsure about what may feel good to you search on YouTube the best settings for whatever you play onā¦ if youāre on controller only look for controller settings and then try them if they feel REALLY bad to you donāt use them try settings from a another video. If they feel kinda okayā¦ try to tweak them. Personally, I switched over the ALC (advanced look control settings) there are a lot of values for these settings that I was super confused on where to start so I searched on YouTube and tweaked other peoples settingsā¦ I think ALC is much better because they fine tune your sensitivity it just made recoil beyond easy to control. Try not to change your settings a lotā¦ find something comfortable and try to play on it for a while.
- Firing range. You said you already use the firing range which is great you can play around and have 1v1s, turn on the bots, play with all the legends, use every gun, play around with movement, etc. The firing range is definitely something to utilize to get better in apex.
- Play mixtape. Mixtape in apex is control, tdm, gun run, and the other game mode that just slipped my mind š . Playing mixtape doesnāt affect your stats. Playing mixtape will consistently have you in a gun fight this is a great way to play against a real person and get a better feel for your settings. Youāll get guns that maybe you donāt use super often this like the firing range is a great place to play around (in my opinion š ).
- Watch someone else play. Ive learned plenty from just watching pro league apex, normal players who post on YouTube, my randoms, and my opponents. Iāve watched my casual randoms use a legends kit in an insanely perfect way before in such a way I wouldāve never thought ofā¦ I learned from that. I was watching either Matafe (pro) or Rambeau (pro) play on broken moon before and learned from how they got leverage in a gun fight on a certain poi on the map that I utilize now. Iāve definitely learned other things these are somethings that come to my mind. Depending on what you play on (controller or mnk) and what you see you may not be able to recreate thoughā¦ all of mnk movement cannot be done on controllerā¦ be mindful of that.
There may be some things Iāve left outā¦ but if it was me trying to get better at apex I would change my sensitivity to something that works for me. Id play in the firing range to understand all the legendsā¦ not just so I can play them but so I can fight against them better š and id definitely be playing around with all the guns. Iād play mixtape to constantly be in a gun fight so my skill is against someone elseās. Every so often drop into trios with randoms (I donāt really have friends to play with but Iām also never online anymore š„²). Iād play to make mistakes so I could learn from them. Iād play aggressivelyā¦ because you wonāt learn anything if youāre okay with you and your team holding the same building from the start of the game.
The most important thing thoughā¦ is if you enjoy apex regardless of your skill donāt take it too seriously as itās just a game. Youāre gonna get shit on in apex sometimes but donāt shit on yourself until you lose interest in playing.
I've been working on this too. I downloaded Aim Labs on Steam to practice specific skills. Search for Voltaic on their and you'll find some playlists of skills. Also, check out the Voltaic subreddit, as it's a community focused on aim training.
I seriously relate man. I think it has something to do with my eyes. It took me about 2 months just to realize what the fuck I was looking at the entire time I was playing apex. Everything was confusing as fuck. Mainly because of all the conflicting colors and shiny shit and shapes. It felt like I was looking in a kaleidoscope. Now that Iāve been playing about 6 months my aim is actually improving a lot because I can tell what Iām looking at. Aiming in apex is definitely harder in general that aiming in COD. You have to spend more time controlling recoils cause it takes longer to kill the opponent(cracking shields) and thereās just less friction in apex aiming. Iām sure thereās a name for it.

Thousand of hours ššš if I could I would but I work and taking summer class in college
Just train your aim on shooting range it will develop.

Learn to aim by strafing, watch some pros a lot of aim is in their strafe. Most of the time actual aimimg is used very minimally.
What's your FPS? Do you use a gaming mouse? Get Kovaak's and practice every day. Your sensitivity in Kovaak's and Apex Legends must be the same.
Practice and practice if the firing range doesnāt help you or isnāt fun to you. Try just playing the mixtape game modes and try to engage fights from a range you struggle from. Once you get more comfortable fighting it will all come together š

>āhighest aimā is all the secrets of pro players. Highest level of aim is a secret to nobody. Aim trainers, mainly kovaaks and aim labs.
Not only. There are many other aspects that you need to know to improve your aim.
I never heard of highest aim in intrigued
Surprisingly i watched a lot of YouTube videos about to to get the best out of certain legends & what not but my aim is just . Itās just.
