Editing How to play guide for Apex Legends (section)

==Tips and Tricks==
*Don't forget to make use of your abilities whenever possible. It can be easy to get caught up in pure gunfights while neglecting the abilities that could give you a crucial advantage.
*For new players, if you want to survive, drop away from the path of the dropship.
*The hot zone and the supply ships do have more loot, but that also means more players will go there.
*Always pick up a body shield from a fresh death box or the ground, especially during a fight. It will always be fully recharged once equipped. Pick it up to avoid having to recharge your shields and avoid getting ambushed.
*Wear a Headset or Earbuds if you can. This will allow you to hear enemy footsteps better, which may result in an advantage over your opponents.
* Be careful when using airstrikes. They are very loud and visible from far away, and more enemies might come to join the action!
*Try to find a Legend you enjoy and are comfortable with using (often referred to as a main). Being experienced with one or two Legends will give you an advantage over players who don't main that Legend, and make you more likely to win. It can also help if someone takes your main  you can instead use your 2nd ( or 3rd if someone else takes your 2nd main )  main
* If you are having trouble aiming, spend a few hours in the Firing Range to learn the recoil of all weapons. A few hours doing that will significantly help your aim in the months ahead.
*Don't neglect grenades! They can be very useful in a variety of scenarios, such as fishing enemies out from cover.
*When opening a [[Care Package]], remember that there is a beacon above the care package that is removed when it is opened. If you see the light go away, you'll know that enemies are there. Likewise, know that if you open a care package, know that enemies will most likely come to that location.
*Try combining different [[Legends]]' abilities. For example, use [[Ash]]'s {{AbilityLink|Arc Snare}} to keep a target in place while you damage them with [[Fuse]]'s {{AbilityLink|Knuckle Cluster}}.
*Loot quickly after finishing a fight, especially in an open area, as you are vulnerable to attack from a third party.
*Land in less crowded areas if you want a better chance at surviving to the endgame.
*Although [[Shield Cell]]s and [[Syringe]]s heal for small amounts, that small bit of healing might be the only bit you can get off mid-fight.
* If one wants to do a finisher be sure that you're safe and indoors as enemies can still damage you or even knock you.
*Try to use abilities to counter other abilities. For example using [[Crypto]]'s Drone EMP will counter [[Gibraltar]]'s Dome of protection.
*Some weapons go along with some [[Legend|Legends]]. For example one can use any [[Weapon|Shotgun]] with [[Mad Maggie]] and any [[Weapon|Sniper]] with [[Vantage]].
