Season 30: Marked · Split 2
Season 30 went live 2026-08-04 and Split 2 started 2026-09-15. Respawn hasn't announced an end date; the Split 2 notes run the map rotation to 2026-11-03 and the last ranked ladder to 2026-11-01. (EA, Marked midseason patch notes, 2026-09-14)
What wins duels in Apex Legends
Tracking. Higher time-to-kill — you must land many shots on a strafing, moving target — so smooth sustained tracking is the dominant skill. That's a training emphasis, not a gear one — the same mouse works for any style.
- ›Movement is a real skill ceiling; some players use analog/WASD movement tech (tap-strafing etc.).
- ›A large controller player base competes too — cm/360 conversions are mouse-only.
- ›Tracking rewards a slightly higher cm/360 for control — pros spread wider than tac-shooters. Across the players we track here, that's 26–65 cm/360.
↗ Apex Legends Status — live meta — Current weapon meta, pick rates and gun stats — useful for knowing which guns reward tracking vs flicks this season.

Creators who also play Apex Legends
Multi-game players whose main title is elsewhere but who also play Apex Legends. Their aim is a portable cm/360 — match it in Apex Legends with the converter.
Apex Legends settings that matter
Sensitivity, ADS and FOV
- ›Apex hipfire uses the same scale as CS2 (0.022° per count), so the same DPI and sens give the same cm/360 in both games. That's the conversion every number on this page uses. (csdb.gg converter, read 2026-10-01)
- ›An ADS multiplier of 1.0 is not a 1:1 match with hipfire: aiming down sights slows your turn. Respawn later added per-optic multipliers, but most pros keep a single ADS multiplier of 1. (ProSettings Apex guide, 2025-06-25)
- ›The FOV slider runs 70–110 (default 70); EA suggests 90–110. The number is on a 4:3-based scale, so 110 is about 123° horizontal on a 16:9 screen, and your ADS zoom follows it: per-optic values tuned at one FOV shift at another. (EA Help, best PC settings, 2026-07-24)
- ›Turn FOV Ability Scaling off: abilities that change your FOV also change your effective sensitivity mid-fight. (ProSettings Apex guide, 2025-06-25)
Frames and latency
- ›Cap FPS with the launch option +fps_max <n> (EA app: View properties > Advanced launch options; Steam: Properties > Launch Options). Cap a little under what your PC holds steady. (EA Help, cap FPS, 2026-07-24)
- ›Respawn capped PC Apex at 300 FPS in March 2019. EA's help pages no longer state a ceiling and we found no 2026 confirmation, so treat 300 as the last official number, not a verified current one. (Apex wiki, 2019-03-19 patch, 2019-03-19)
- ›EA's competitive video list: V-Sync off unless you see tearing, NVIDIA Reflex on, adaptive resolution off, anti-aliasing off, and ambient occlusion, volumetric lighting and dynamic spot shadows off. (EA Help, best PC settings, 2026-07-24)
- ›Season 29 fixed a CPU physics stutter that hit fast single-thread CPUs (Ryzen X3D) hardest, and occasional frame dips above 240 FPS. (EA, Overclocked patch notes, 2026-05-04)
Controller and fair play
- ›Aim assist is on by default for controller players on console and PC and off for mouse and keyboard; it's stronger on console. It's toggled under Advanced Look Controls > Target Compensation. (EA Help, aim assist, 2026-04-15)
- ›The common competitive controller start point is "4-3" (look sensitivity 4, ADS 3). Linear response is common among competitors but exposes stick drift; Classic is steadier for newer players. (EA Help, best PC settings, 2026-07-24)
- ›Look Deadzone is None, Small (the default) or Large. EA's own advice: raise it only if you need to, because a smaller deadzone gives better aim control. (EA accessibility, Apex controls, 2026-10-01)
- ›The last official aim-assist change was the Shockwave patch: controller aim assist on PC cut by 25%, and by 18% for console players crossplaying into PC lobbies. No patch note since has touched it (checked to 2026-09-14). EA publishes the percentages, not the 0.3 / 0.6 values quoted online. (EA, Shockwave patch notes, 2024-08-05)
- ›Controller "jitter aim" and RC filters that exploit aim assist or cancel recoil are classed as cheating, detected in game, and banned. (Respawn anti-cheat update, 2026-07-09)
- ›Since 2026-09-29 PC Apex runs EA Javelin Anticheat instead of Easy Anti-Cheat, with no Secure Boot step needed for Apex at this time. (EA, Javelin announcement, 2026-09-24)
