I didn't clarify on this, but the Vanishing Bomb has the same visual effect when moving around as the Cloaking Device - you can be spotted as you run around if the enemy pays attention.

Melee users won’t dive straight into a team of three Oh yes they will

I also just realised the smoke canisters actually look like fire extinguishers (the shape of them) so it’s kinda intuitive that they would put out the fire… that’s actually really smart design.

this is the first game in a long time that i get frusrated at but not in an angry way. it's just really fun. i dont care if i win or lose, i am having a blast just running around killing people lol

Love how this is just strat 101 so many ppl come in the finals thinking it just another cod

A good tip for turrets is to just throw a goo grenade in front of it to break the line of sight

A really good tip I dont see often to counter defib is throwing fire/gas on enemy bodies. Cant tell you the amount of players i have killed that run into the open for defib just to die to gas+bullets.

A tip for all lights that do not use the taser (because fuck you if you do): if you are fighting a heavy up close, run up against them and start circling. Because of the height difference, the heavy has to look down to shoot and can't see anything else, plus they lose track of you since you get out of their view by moving like 1 meter.

better than apex and cod

1:15 You can also throw gas at the player being healed, Gas does enough damage to negate healing but not enough to overpower it. Thus allowing you to get the same normal time to kill on a healed player. 3:00 The medium class can see the enemies with their recon ability even when they are invisible and from across the map given that it is not foggy or there is not gas or smoke between you and the enemy. It is a super underrated ability that is just wall hacks in a clever package.

Thanks for this. A lot of people complaining about the game just don't know how to play or strategize and blame the devs for an "unbalanced" game... people just gotta use different strategies and think outside the box, thats what the game is all about. Get better!

So glad you made the switch to this game around the time I did. Now your tips can help me here

Just heard abt this game yesterday and you've got a GREAT vid. Much detail very wow 👌🏽 👏🏽

Also gas grenade strat. Some team spam gas grenade or gas mine at the cash out. You can instantly disperse gas using fire

An actually good video. Thanks for the tips, mate. Liked!

You can place glitch trap on explosion tank straight throw to your enemy and shield drone~ Explosive trap on gas/pryo tank extra damage~

Had a great game yesterday where nobody knew about shooting down the buildings that are suspended in the air. After knocking out all the ziplines it was a clean sweep 😂 then the next vault we took it down the second enemy’s tried to take it for an easy win

i like it. first tip already helped me

This game is AMAZING. Thanks for these tips you earned a new Sub

Amazing video and info. Thanks bro

I find it extremely easy to spot invisible players, not only due to distortion but also the sounds they make.. not to mention most invis players think they vanish altogether and get all cozy near you.. but last time I checked my footsteps don't duplicate and glass panes don't randomly shatter...

Great tip against rocket launchers: I noticed that when using the rocket launcher it does double the damage to yourself than other players to u can counter the rocket launcher by just standing directly next to them, if they shoot you they will deal up to 360 damage to themselves (enough to 1 shot themselves) depending how close you are

hey ottr, I used to watch all your apex videos and im happy to see people finding the finals. I played the whole beta and I found you can go invisible while holding canisters somehow, did anyone know this?

Honestly, the only ability i really hate is the stun gun. I've seen more than enough duos or trios all running the damn thing just to be cancerous lol.

something I didn't hear you mention is that invis from the light class has the most counters in the game! You have the lights motion detector, glitch grenade, and thermal vision. The mediums recon senses and sonar grenades. You also have the heavy with the highest ammo count and flamethrowers able to spray and pray the location. Finally all classes have access to the fire and gas. Glitch mines are underrated for this purpose imo, they also work pretty decent for shield spam on point.

Turrets are easily countered by goo. Also, i recall seeing smoke block turret line of sight, but im not sure if im misremembering things.

Too big tips I would give to newer players would be to slow down. You have a lot more time than you think you do. The objectives don't go by that fast. You have time to think. And communication with your team is key. Just slow down and plan your tax out more rather than just diving in and getting squished between the other teams.

The glitch grenade can disable sonar and motion detectors. Something that was not mentioned when you said that sonar had no counter

so many amazing little unique details in this game that actually require you to think fast to win LOVE THIS GAME

You didn’t mention that you can slide backwards after a jump, which can get you some good distance from a heavy or sword.

I'm glad others are gettin that red odometer of lag, and I'm not the only one.

goo gun is OP against melee. just 1 goop thing is enough to freeze them in place

Good video I love the finals

great video thanks for the effort

I use the flamethrower nearly exclusively and it is quite exploitable. I have to go triple cover (Q shield, barricades, and shield bubble) to make it work to force close encounters.

6:30 you forgot to mention, the goo gun completely counters the turret, one goo and it can no longer shoot. Been running that lately, my new main ability.

I really wish the climbing(ledges+windows), grappling, zip lining, etc was just a bit more accurately tuned… It’s good, but I still seem to miss a lot or be unable to reach certain spots

3:22 yep if you just get up on top of it you don't need to struggle to get on it anymore, thanks for the advice. Though seriously, it's not as easy as just break them, they're really difficult to break if you're anything but a Heavy with a RPG, as the barrels and such seem to struggle to break them

otter the goat thanks otter.

You can disable sonar grenades by shooting the grenade itself. Just need line of sight.

glitch mines and grenades is a good tip against 3 med stack!! thanks for the tip!

Another ottr Banger

This game is awesome. I really hope it blows up

Actually showed me a lot of potential from the glitch grenade, mvp

My most hated strat is when lights are on my team, drop 12 kills then quit before the match ends

For me personally as a light main, saving my stun gun has been something that has helped me when going against a heavy with an rpg. Stun gun is incredibly useful to drown one player from using utility if you have all glitch grenades on cd.

They need to nerf 2 things ASAP the Invisibility spam (cool down is ridiculous) and the heavy’s mobility with the RPG he needs a slow down when it’s equipped

Got it unlock the glitch grenade, those shield strats have been tough getting around.

Glitch grenades solve all my problems 😂

how do you beat double medium heavy with 1 turret 1 heal 2 APS turret mesh shield gas mines and glitch traps

Hanging cradles, it doesnt matter what 2 supports you take out. Any 2 will bring it down. Same with any building. Destroy any 2 walls at ground level will bring the building down. Good tactic is facing a triple medium team who likely have mines/ turrets on cashout. The mangled building will make it much harder for them to group and healscum each other.

correct me if I'm wrong, but medium wall hack specialization doesn't show invisible lights. From my testing (our lobby glitched and put us on separate teams for some reason) we only saw that the sonar grenade was able to spot him while cloaked and he was able to run past me multiple times without the wall hack picking him up. Even if it picked up stealthed lights, I wouldn't personally run the wall hack due to you losing the heal beam or turret (mostly heal beam) because you can always switch off the grenade if you see that no one in the lobby is playing cloak. Light's kit thrives if they find you playing alone, so just don't play alone. You might get idiots who will still go after you regardless, but you can get traded and rezzed most of the time because 90% of them are selfish 12 year olds who are running double barrel because they can't kill any other way.

Figured out the gas thing day 1 always ran a pyro and smoke and thermal

To counter an RPG shot you can have your medium pop down a APS turret which will shoot it down

Stun gun is a nice answer to RPG, too

Defibrillator needs to not make the rezzed person invulnerable for a short period of time... Its way too easy to slide in and defib a teammate right in front of a gunfight and heal tank them. I wish more classes had reliable Glitch grenades. The mine is hard to use purposefully.

"Melee users won't dive a team of 3"... Allow me to introduce myself XD

The ability to cook nades would be nice..

As a heavy flamethrower user I have to say that light/stun gun/ glitch grenade is my kriptonite as long as they stay out of my flamer range. Besides that I’m pretty impervious in 1 on 1 duels. Usually it takes 2 on 1 to kill me.

To counter people who jump while you're shooting at them you can move your mouse up and/or down 👍

Does anyone know if the APM turret on Medium takes care of RPGS? been spending my currency elsewhere and haven't been able to test.

Biggest problem with the game rn for me is solo que. I can play each class fairly well. Light being best, med being alright, and heavy being just cake walk, but I CANNOT for the life of me, watch my teammate elbow the dude taking our point to only get killed one more time.

I run with the mini shot gun makes getting clips for my channel more fun

if your turrent is low health pick it up and drop and done again boom full health

So what you’re telling me is that I have to play every class at 1 time and somehow have every grenade equipped at once while also using my godly sixth sense to shoot cloaked enemies and make sure melee players never get close

a really good thing to do to deal with the sonar is just staying crouched and not move

Today I learned turrets have directions. Explains why they felt so useless

Trophy system is an amazing counter to RPGs - you know that 9/10 times a heavy is going to shoot you with one, so just put it down when you see them.

1:47 also the revived player has a grace period, while they are glowing blue they dont take any damage

Yoooo ottr on the finals !

Holy crap dude the heavy class is sooo annoying to play against. They have like 400 hp, rpgs, flamethrower, and dome shields

I love lights that cloak but never actually stop moving lol

As a flamethrower main myself, it’s way better in closed environments and kinda bad everywhere else, but if you are strategic, you can always be in a closed area

How can you do big damage to a house or building with the mid built?

The best way to counter RPG for a light is, evasive dodge. RPG's cd is very long once u dodge it.

Crazy

A way to balance the sword is to make it deal less damage but get better when You get a kill

vs a flamethrower if you're light or medium literally just just and W key away. The heavy can do absolutely nothing to catch you if you run in a straight line, and will need to pull out the rpg instead

Light’s counterplay for rpg is the stun gun. It works like a glitch to stop all ability usage

Solo is pain in the ass when you carry the objective on your own especially if you r the only M or H between two L

Can you shoot the hooks on the platform as well?

breach charges or c4 on the cashout

How do you c4 a floating structure if there’s a team already holding it? Or do you mean c4 it before they set up?

me being a flamethrower heavy main: IM JUST ITCHING TO DO IT AGAIN

Oh if your a light class and you have the stun gun you can shut down enemy movement and can't use their abilities in so you can shut down a heavy if they have a rpg

C4 on the red canister adn then Send It. Will one shot even heavies

Since the game is now turret simulator goo grenades is the best way to counter them atm

Sonar grenades can be destroyed, and I think glitch grenades also disable them but I'm not 100% on that

Duel blades! You missed that one does it have a counter at all?

One fun way to deal with defib teams is by placing mines on death figurines

Ngl the only obnoxiously unmanageable thing for me is the turret. I swear i put a million bullets into it everytime ans barely breaks half the time

you missed quite a few ways to counter invisible players for the medium class you have recon senses skill, sonar grenade, and the glitch trap. for light class you have thermal vision, glitch grenade, and motion sensor. for heavy there's no natural counter but you're at least not going to get 1 shot and you can just throw up your mesh shield in the direction they were in or use charge and slam abilty but jump smash to get enough aoe to expose them

I find it crazy that heavy has a ton of health a high damage gun AND ! an RPG plus all the other little things that make it over all just annoying to deal with

if you using a sword just crouch when attacking them. your already like 4'11 so itll beharder for them to look down and shoot you

I like how you couldn’t give a counter for stun gun because there isn’t one. The invis and stun combo is the only thing in this game I hate and pisses me off it takes 0 skill

Hey guys, don't worry about using your util to help your team offensively. Now you have to hold onto it and be ready to fire the 8 gas mines on the cashout, so you can instantly smoke it after! Honestly though if that's this company's big idea for counterplay, they need to make 1 gas mine that recharges for more a thing, and make it heavy's only.

Not gonna lie one of the best music I head❤

The data reshaper also os very very useful

this winnable shirt guy looks like Klaus from wolfenstein the new order.

4:45 are you sure bout that as a melee user myself team wiped useing a sword and with some help of some heals i got the busy body acheivment
