Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this game called Apex Legends lately, and let me tell you, getting the hang of the orientation stuff is pretty key if you want to not suck.
At first, I jumped right in, thinking I could just wing it. Big mistake. I was running around like a headless chicken, getting taken out left and right. It was not fun, let me tell you. The controls were all foreign to me, and I kept hitting the wrong buttons, and I was pretty clueless. That’s when I realized I needed to, you know, actually do the orientation thing.

So I went back to the start menu and found the orientation match option. This is where you want to start, trust me. It walks you through the basics, step by step. I did the training and learned how to move around, how to pick up weapons, and how to shoot. There are some targets to practice shooting. I spent a lot of time there. After that, I started to learn how to use abilities. Each character has their own special moves, and figuring out how to use them was kind of a game-changer.
Here’s how I did it:
- Found the orientation match option in the main menu. It was pretty easy to find.
- Started the tutorial. This went through moving, shooting, all the basics you need.
- Practice. I spent some time in the firing range just getting a feel for the different guns.
- Learned about the character abilities. This part was a bit tricky, but it’s important to get the hang of it.
After going through the orientation a few times, I felt way more comfortable. I finally did some real matches, and it was a whole different experience. I wasn’t a pro or anything, but I wasn’t totally lost either. I even managed to get a few kills, which was pretty cool. So yeah, if you’re new to Apex, don’t skip the orientation. It makes a huge difference.
I know it might seem boring, but it’s worth it. Once you get the basics down, the game becomes way more fun. You can actually start to strategize and work with your team, instead of just running around getting shot. And trust me, winning a match feels pretty damn good after all that practice.
My advice?
Take your time with the orientation. Don’t rush it. Really try to understand the controls and how everything works. And don’t be afraid to experiment with different characters and find one that fits your play style. It takes some time to get good at this game, but it’s definitely worth the effort!
