During battles, one needs to use every trick in the book that allows him to survive and win the match. Fundamental elements of the game are as follows: effective use of your weapons, managing your equipment and finding your way around the King's Canyon.
Movement - sprint, slide and ziplines
Your effectiveness in Apex Legends is mainly measured by your ability to traverse the King's Canyon effectively. Your movement from point to point should be as fast and as efficient as possible. In Apex Legends, aside from basic sprinting and sliding, the players received the ability to utilize jump towers and zip lines to traverse the map even more efficiently.
Sprint
Staying mobile is a very important aspect of Apex Legends. It is well known that it is tougher to hit a moving target rather than one staying immobile. To increase your chances of survival on the battlefield, use sprint often - especially in open terrain. Moreover, remember that you can sprint faster with your weapon holstered.
Slide
The slide is a very useful technique, especially when you need to hide from enemy fire as fast as possible. Moreover, you can use it to slide down from various elevated locations. Always remember that you need to gain speed before performing a slide.
Overcoming terrain obstacles
Your hero is also capable of overcoming various terrain obstacles, such as walls or small cliffs. All you have to do is to speed up, perform a jump before the obstacle, and wait until you climb up.
Jump towers
You can climb onto jump towers (marked by red balloons) easily using zip lines, then jump down and activate your jetpack which enables you to travel quickly across the map. Remember that the climb takes a moment and you are vulnerable to enemy attacks during that time.
Ziplines
Ziplines left by the Pathfinder are a good way of traversing the map quickly. Interestingly enough, while using a zip line, you can jump to a new one, if it is in the range of your jump. You can shoot your weapon when using a zip line.
