If you are using a controller, you ought to be more specific with your deadzone settings. In Apex Legends, deadzone refers to the circle around your analog stick that you have no control over. What this means is that even if you attempt to move your character in this area, no movement will happen.

Why do deadzones exist? It’s largely for older controllers with analog sticks that aren’t as responsive anymore.

When it comes to this game, the smaller your deadzone is, the better.

As you may have noticed, NICKMERCS’ doesn’t crank up his graphics to the highest settings. The game’s requirements aren’t that steep but if you aren’t doing the right things, your Apex Legends game could end up crashing.

As with NICKMERCS, we also recommend playing in the lowest graphic settings possible. This will enable you to play the game at improved frame rates. Also, even if your PC isn’t the best in the market, you will still be able to run Apex Legends without a hitch.

Having lower graphics isn’t very essential to playing the game better, so you don’t have to worry about this aspect.
