Tracking and Switching Moving Targets in Apex Legends
When you are playing games with higher TTK, or time to kill, and a lot of movement abilities, you will need your tracking and switching to be on point to compete at most levels. Let’s take Apex Legends, for example, where characters such as Pathfinder, Valkyrie, and Octane have the ability to change the verticality of a fight against you rapidly. Legends will also soak up a good deal of damage, especially if it is a bit later into the game and they have had the opportunity to gear up.
Add to that the support abilities and healing items that can quickly undo the damage you dished out on an enemy, and you are watching that TTK increase exponentially in some cases, especially if you are not able to finish enemies off in a timely manner. With this post’s featured task, we hope to help you develop some of your relevant skills, like your tracking and your target switching, after you have fully eliminated a target. Given that the targets in this task will quickly regenerate health, you will need to make sure you are not switching off of a target too quickly, or you will undo your progress and miss out on some points.
The featured task features multiple targets that are strafing around you at a moderate speed. The targets feature rapidly regenerating health, meaning they will heal if your crosshair is not actively over them accurately.
As you are playing through the task, try to begin tracking the target as they’re changing direction, as that will give you the best opportunity to smoothly track the target and destroy it before its rapid health regeneration kicks in. If you pull off of a target too early, move on to the next target, focus on the process of switching accurately, working on the next target, and then continue to switch again after to get the most out of this practice while also maximizing your efficiency and score.
