Gameplay explained is a series of FPS gameplay in which I try to explain the various skills, decisions and best practices you may want to master to start winning more games. I try to explain how I win fights, beat noobs and survive against pros. The point of these guides is to show in real-time what differences there are between experienced players and casuals.
Apex Legends is a battle royale game based in the Titanfall universe that's defined by squad battles emphasizing teamwork and use of a unique pinging system.

the way he talks is very nice. he has a nice way of talking
I agree with your comment. Your comment is something I agree with.
@@jamie1165 I am currently watching the video. The video is something that I am watching right now.
When u reach the word limit on the essay
I find this video really well made this video is something I find is really well made!
The comments here are really funny. I find these comments really funny
Hey Coach. I just wanted to say, you're by far the best resource I've been able to find to improve my game. I show all of my friends who play Apex your channel too. Thanks to you, and the subreddit, I'm about to break into diamond for the first time
Dude that's awesome to hear, gratz and if you're looking for teammates, you should join us in discord :D I'm delighted to hear I was able to help and thank you so much for sharing it with people. I'm overwhelmed by the support and really appreciate it!
Just a update coach nihil is good for improving your ingame mistakes but hodsic is reeaaallyyy good at getting better at ranked
Exactly what I needed. I started playing shooters on PC last December and I still feel like my aim is so inconsistent. I can hits my shots really well and laser 40% of the time, and turn into a potato the remainimg 60% of the time, which is a death sentence in skill based lobbies. I hope you upload the full guide soon.
How's it going now?
@@Josuh I don't play consistently, so not that well.
Whenever I play consistently, I still feel like a potato for a week or two, but after that period, I can focus so well on enemies and l laser enemies. When I have good aim, I can start focusing on other things like using cover and entering and exiting 1v1s intelligently. Having good aim is a really good feeling.... but then I stop playing consistently, and all that hard work goes out the drain and when I return, I have potato aim again.
I'd recommend you aim train every other day for an hour (aim training every day was too boring for me and felt like a chore), and play whatever shooter you like EVERY DAY, even if it's only 30 minutes, but preferably for an hour every day. If you play consistently, then over time, your skill will improve. But in my case, every time I stop, I have trouble focusing on enemies. Aim training helps a lot to make me stop seeing enemies as blur on the screen, and instead actually see the enemies movements and tracking/flicking to them.
Also, my movement is shit. I never took movement too seriously in Apex, so it's really lacking and I'm going to have to start working on it too.
So in conclusion, I've seen how good of a player I can be if I play consistently. The trick to good aim is playing the game consistently, aim training (you might not need it, but aim training is extremely critical for me to help me stop seeing the enemies as blurs on the screen and just panic shooting them, and instead, actually track their movement and shoot them), and lastly, you need good lifestyle habits so you can focus and use your reflexes - so do the usual advice: sleep well, eat well, exercise and your mind will be much more sharper and focused.
Dude.. you are an incredible coach. I've watch about 6 of your videos and by far the best coach for apex on TH-cam..
If u want to be a good player
The teacher is right here guyz 😊
#coach nihil forever ❤
This is the video I never knew I needed.
Back before I took a break from video games in general, I was pretty good at tracking and then when I came back something felt off. I always thought it was my strafe or lack of movement turns out it was my tracking.
I had learned all of the recoils but I was missing my shots because my tracking wasnt as on target as it used to be.
Thanks coach!
Step 1: Watch a bunch of CoachNihil videos
Step 2: Get all hyped up and practice
Step 3: Get into a match
Step 4: Get your ass handed down to you 5 matches in a row with 0 kills
Step 5: Look at your 0.XX KDR
Step 6: Have a mental breakdown and quit the game
Step 7: Repeat the next day
Repeating until improvements are made
Don't know if u cover this in the video but I usually track my teammates heads when we're looting and rotating to improve my tracking of the characters.
It has helped me much
I do this and I practice movement in downtime, it's been very nice
Never thought of this. Gonna try it
Same here and there’s no aim assist on tracking your teammates so it’s like training your aim with a handicap!
When he starts streams he often unloads a few wingman clips into dojo as they're rotating for warm up shots 😂
@@lethalanelle Haha trueee, no better practice dummy than my moderator!
I have to say, not only are these great tips, but you have such a great Radio, Tutorial voice its crazy! Anyways! great video man good stuff!
Can’t tell you how much all your videos have helped me, I never thought I was a bad player but now I’m looking and critiquing my own games to see how I can reach the next level
Im new here
I watch a couple of his videos yesterday used the advise he gave my game play improved like crazy
mirror strafing never heard of that.. thanks coach
Ikr! It makes sense, but I've never heard anyone say it before, he's a great coach!
Huge in halo 2 and 3
@@RobertSmith-ow5kf Also huge in team fortress 2 scout
Found your channel just recently, but you helped me improve alot within a month :) thanks alot!!!
If I may request: could you give some advice on inventory managment? I feel like there is more to this than meets the eye. Also some wattson guides would be great :)
1:02 These ten seconds were a joy to watch.
I know I'm kind of late but thank you Nihil. I went from a lvl 1 bronze IV player to a lvl 77 platinum IV player by using your tricks. I'm going to go for diamond IV now. Platinum lobbies are more difficult than gold lobbies but i will try my best. Wish me luck!
Was here for this on stream. Always super informative. Keep up the great content 👍
Multi-platform encouragement, you're the best Fozzy 💜
Put me in, Coach.
Great tips, thanks for putting the time into these videos, have you any thought on making a video on how some of these tips could be better applied to console players? For tactical concepts these tips apply regardless, but more specifics could be nice. thanks again!
I've always been a projectile specialist since the Tribes and Quake days, that kinda aim is obsolete now so I finally have to get good at tracking.
Thanks for the video
I just reached diamond in a late season grind, I'm pretty proud about it and I think your videos helped me improve and being able to do it. Thank you for the good content.
Next season I will grind harder.
Hey coach I’m new here and this is the first video I’ve seen so I rlly just wanna learn how to get gud cuz I’m bad so I’ll keep on watching and if it helps I’ll keep on watching hopefully it works and I can take gold to my grasp
Love the way you broke down pre-fire around the corner on the first clip you showed and how you explained cross-hair placement. Good stuff. Liked and subbed, hoping to see some more great quality content!
Subscribed bro, thanks for the details I’ll put practice in more in the firing range and in games 👌🏼
every time before watching your video I feel like OK THIS TIME THERE WON'T BE SOMETHING NEW.. and I am always happily wrong . i feel so positive and hopeful after watching your videos. Thanks a lot you brother .you are doing a literally great job for gamers out there ♥
can you make a video on how to track or aim strafing enemies? I struggle a lot with wraiths and Octanes doing AD and shooting
Defense = opposite movement
Offense = mirror movement
Really good, thank you
That's a good tip since it's hard to hit moving enemies especially if they move left and right.
Thanks for another super informative video coach. Your vids, as usual, have helped me massively. I used to consistently miss shots with the R99 and wingman, but now I feel more confident in carrying that aggressive cqc load out. Thanks agains.
You are insanely the best couch out there.
6:26 this hit me hard. Hearing you say this made me realize maybe its time to give up on the flicks lmao
Thanks coach this video and along with kovaaks, to warm up, really improved my tracking.
This is cool to see, I have the opposite affliction. Always been really good at flicking, awful at tracking. Im great with games like Valorant, but suck at games like Apex that NEED good tracking. I appreciate the analysis, I learn this way the best
Would it be possible for you to do a breakdown on aceu's gameplay?
He usually don't do that much of pro reviews unless he can take something out that is useful for even the average gamer... Most of aceus best games are a show of insane mastery of the game mechanics or 300 iq plays...
It would end up being an appreciation of the clip instead of being instructional... That's what I feel... But he has put several videos that individually show some of the best techniques pros use (like the shiv and ras reviews)...
Just watch RAS's breakdown, very similar playstyle. In fact, Ras has better track record at tournaments
@@Aanandkrs This is exactly right! I learn a lot from Aceu because he's a God but I wouldn't want to use his content just for views so I only upload breakdowns that I think are especially interesting showcases for players that don't know these things :D
I'll be doing more scrim/tournament level content in the future though where we can learn a lot from them about competitive play, that's where there's a lot to learn!
@@coachnihil6969 i like how staycation and zylbrad plays. can you check them out?
Coach Nihil I am also curious what you think about zylbrad’s play style with pathfinder. I’m always trying to get little tidbits on what I can improve on path.
Coach Nihil deserves all the fame and praise.
Coach, does recoil control pattern work on moving target? Bcause you move your mouse to track the target thus breaking the pattern overall. What's your view on this?
great video, i will need to try to implement this into my aiming skills, your video from a few months ago with the usage of cover and positioning and when to push enemies has helped me a lot, sadly my aiming has either become rusty or the enemies have gotten good or just the matchmaking is screwing me over giving me players that are obviously better than me, often destroying me
These are great, especially the exercises you talked about. Keep it up!
This is my second account subscribing Coache's channel, idk but i love how he explain every movement/chance that mean a lot or even the simpliest thing on the game
"Ez track, ez clap"
- Coach Nihil 2020
the more you play the better you get. aim trainers dont make you good, they just make you consistent
The first one worked, idk how I haven’t ever practiced that with my like good 8 years gaming now I got that 3k damage badge thx man
great video:D but how do i change the game colours ?
Started watching your videos. Lol no regrets whatsoever
The games where my random teammates are on the same wavelength as me are so easy. I get like 6 to 10 kills with 2.5k+ DMG.
And the other games I do shit because i'm expecting my team to follow-up on my play, and they never do. I even use the ping "i'm attacking here". And then I down an enemy, and bring another enemy to 1 health before I get downed.
And when I look at where my team is, they are sitting 100m away behind a door or on a roof... Like c'mon...by the time you get there, they will be all healed up, looted my box, or ran away. Or they never revive when they can(e.g. enemy ran away to heal) and instead they both rush in a building the enemy caustic is holding with traps...
You only need one to shoot at the enemy while the other member can revive.(in most situations). And if I don't want them to revive me, i say through the Mic "just fight it out"
And especially the two premades who obviously are in party chat, ignoring me(the solo), and never agree that my rotation or call could be better, and they instead run off in another direction, and we get 3rd partied because they have bad rotations/tunnel vision on kills.
Or when I down a full squad, and I'm reviving both of my teammates, and they don't heal up first but start looting boxes instantly, not giving me a chance to restock on Ammo/heals. And then the 3rd party arrives and they still haven't healed up...while I can't find Ammo in the boxes.. I could literally write a book about this shit that annoys me... Sigh, playing with randoms in platinum/Diamond is frustrating... Sorry for the rant, but I feel better now that it's off my chest. Anyone else having these experiences?
Edit: if you are high platinum with +2 KD, and play on Belgium or Amsterdam server on PS4, let me know if you want to team up.

I wish but u sound like me
Love your videos! Very insightful! learn a lot. Thank you!
00:20 great video! what's the name of the tune? I know Khizer used it in a rap but I'm looking for the instrumental
So when should you mirror strafe verse counter strafe when tracking??
this is great. now comes the painfull part: practice
great video Coach, thank you.
When an enemy moves sporadically left and right it's very hard to stay on them, harder than if just moving left for example. Do you strafe to help with this? Or is there a way I can improve this sporadic tracking?
Practice close fast strafes on kovaaks focus on reacting rather then predicting.
Love the content coach helped me out a lot keep it up boss !
I've been playing Aimlab for the past week and I think it's been improving my aim a bit. Even if we get good at aiming we still need good game sense aka high IQ which is a natural talent.
First of all I wanted to say thank you for all your tips,they've made me improve a lot.Second of all I have a question,I started apex lengeds at season 4 and since then I have around 25 wins.Now on all these wins I always had 5+ kills,and based in your tips, I think I had a good rotation,knowing when to disengage,good awareness etc.but my teammates were also good.Some of the wins I have were in ranked matches,and I find it always easier to win and perform well in ranked matches and with good teammates.My question is except ranked matches or matches with good teammates,do you have any advice on how to improve,play well and win on pub matches,were teammates are also not to well?
Sorry for the long comment and thank you for your help,peace!!!
It's my pleasure!
You can be a bit more aggressive in your casual games if you want to work on your mechanics, especially if you rotate fast but take your fights slow and smart. That's a great way to practice, make it a goal to stay alive as long as possible in a fight even if your teammates are slow or not very helpful. It challenges you to think for yourself and understand your situation and surroundings, teammates included.
The challenge of having to rely on your own skill can really help you improve and grow if you try hard to stay alive and fight smart without running away. I practice 1v3ing a lot even if I die, it makes me better.
Sorry for the long answer as well but great question haha, hope you have an awesome day :D
@@coachnihil6969 thanks alot Coach!!!
1:08 Can't do that anymore without severely hamstringing yourself for the next 35 seconds. Rip og pathfinder.
He's really not as dead as people make him out to be.
That maneuver won him a fight with no damage to himself, there's no reason to not do that.
If characters with no mobility can survive just fine, why cant a pathfinder on cooldown?
It makes no sense. Pathfinder was apparently a bigger crutch for people than I thought he was :/
Seeing alotta people talk about pathfinder being dead now because of his nerf and I honestly dont get it.
Mobility like the grapple is an extra bonus, it opens doors to doing things others cant but if you're completely dependent on it you're just using it like a crutch.
People saying they literally cant play path now makes me so confused, what were they doing to need grapple twice in 30 seconds? How badly outta position were they for that to be a neccessity?
Any thoughts on that coach? It doesnt make sense to me, especially after managing two wins after a couple months absence, the grapple nerf really didn't impact me alot unless I made a dumb mistake like giving up high ground prematurely and that's my issue.
Really not sure what to think
This helped a lot thank you Coach, 🙏
Hey , what's your fov? Just curious. Looks pretty zoomed in
great video Coach Nihil, any chance you can show tracking in valorant too? I've just started fps and am looking for tracking tips as this is one of my greatest weaknesses so I appreciate any help you can give
please come back i need your wisdom!
Such a great video.
*channel
Thank you, thank you! You're so helpful!!
Hey Coach nihil. So I move opposite of my opponent or mirroring is better? I'm not sure
All that work with the p2020 just for the kill to be yoinked
Do we ignore the horizontal recoil when aim tracking a strafing enemy? By just aiming a lil bit down to counter it ?
I needed this, thank you. My aim with the wingman has become so good that I do better close range with the wingman than weapons like R-99 and I need to fix that.
BanefulDemon how do you use the wingman bruh
I'm the opposite of you, any single fire/burst weapon I'll miss every shot, but with autos like the R99 i can usually one clip them. Funny thing is I'm only a tracker shooter in Apex, every other game I'm a single shooter. Apex mechanics is wack
@@LEBOTSAGAIN just keep using it. I basically just used it too much. Now I barely miss any shot close range with it.
BanefulDemon can i see sum clips w it??? I like to analyze players for my own benefit
Hey coach. I was wondering what you think the best mode to improve at the game is. Pubs or ranked? Also if you wanted to improve mechanically, what mode would be better to learn and practice?
I end up trying to flick to them fter the move out of my crosshair everytime it seems my brain cant process whats going on on the screen fast enough
Help me with wingman.. It has soooooooooooooo much to do with clicktiming 😢😢😢😢
Nihil is the type of a guy to analyze every single move in a 1v1 for fun in firing range..
What’s your DPI, Mouse sens and do you use mouse accelerations.?
Its so hard to track when I have stick drift that moves my crosshair upwards randomly
Love the vids dude!!!
Hot damn your hair is looking good man. Great content, as always
Coach, please talk about being consistent with your movement and gameplay. How do you weed out the bad plays or get consistent at your playstyle. I cannot stay conscious of my gameplay throughout the whole game. It's hard...
By practising one thing at a time!
It's humanly impossible to track all the things you could learn at once. You want to practice something small (like strafing, cover usage or something else) until that's very easy and natural. Then you add the next step you want to practice. Eventually you can do it all without thinking about it 😊
@@coachnihil6969 thank you for your reply. That sounds like a lot of work to me. Usually I know why I die. But I never thought of breaking games down into smaller pieces. I guess it's time to commit :D
So mirroring my opponent let's them hit easy shots also for me to hit easy shots. But when I go opposite I may it harder for me to hit my shots and also theirs?
Bro pls, the music. Put it in the description
So good
what is your DPI and in game sensitivity settings for your mouse?
Thanks for the vídeo man👍
i love it how u have 0 dislikes :) u desreve it
Really happy people seem to like it!
Thank you 💜
U jinxed it mate😂
In fps games I track better by thinking alot more about the target's movement instead of worrying about where my crosshair is.
When you are going to change directions do you counter strafe before changing directions or you strafe without stoping?
Is flicking or tracking good for the wingman i don't get it. I watched quakeV videos n he told that flicking is important for pk and wingman?
Flicking! For any lead point weapon (outputting a lot of damage per shot but slowly) flicking and crosshair placement are the way to go. I tracked her here because she was running in a straight line so it was easy for me, but generally you flick with the wingman and PK :)
@@coachnihil6969 ohhhh i see. Thanks Coach
@@silvadalinumdor21 Any time! Great question :D
Love the advice man 👍
Hi coach, I’m so happy to find this gem of a Chanel. Thanks for the tips. I started playing rank lately and got my ass handed to me and I was having a terrible week with apex. But after binging like 2 hours of your videos. Something just stuck me and I realized how dumb I was and why I getting my ass handled. The thing was proper use of cover and proper timing to bail a fight. Yesterday I had a 13 kill ranked game in gold and I killed the whole champion squad and the kill leader. I know it’s not too great but thanks for the tips. God bless ✌️
Okay but how did you get that vibrant saturation? I want it :D
Digital vibrance in your control panel if you use an nvidia GPU
Are you using the colorblind settings for the yellow sites or just because you're colorblind? I've heard that the yellow sites can give you an advantage because it's clearer. Also, what do you think of antialiasing? Do you think it adds input delay? I can't decide whether to use it or not.
Yeah I use it for the clearer reticles and ironsights, I've found it a lot nicer than the blurry larger red dot but it's not for everyone. I use anti-aliasing myself atm cause it makes it a little easier to spot enemies for me, I used to play without it though and havent noticed any major difference so far
do you use m_rawinput command for apex?
come back pls
Does anyone know how to practice this skill in Aimlab? I don't know of any "task" there where you can move freely and the target remains stationary.
Thx u help ma a lot bro
Can you post your settings and dpi sensitivity
This is really helpful! But I have one problem, my mousepad is really small. I have 1 sensitivity, 800 dpi and sometimes when i'm shooting while tracking my mouse goes over the mousepad and thus my cursor stops and sometimes I die because of that. Should I raise my sensitivity a little bit to compensate for that?
Buying a new mousepad is not really an option right now because of the lockdown and I really like my current sensitivity but it really gets in the way sometimes. What do you think?
Increase your sensitivity. I use steel series mini and 1350 dpi.
Hi sir, as always.. amazing video.. Can you also make a video on top gaming mice available budget wise like low, mid and top tier ones?
Thanks man, appreciate you! I actually use "RocketJumpNinja"s videos on TH-cam at th-cam.com/channels/GJaDZC7PChgd-XMwcbZkiw.html he does a really good job explaining sizes and specs and he has top 10 lists per hand size/grip style
Hope you find a mouse you like! :D
@@coachnihil6969 Thank you coach 😊😊❤️
what song is used in the intro?
Can you do a video on flicks... Seems the skill ceiling and potential for improvement is always there with flicks...
there's a lot less to it than tracking. Much like what's covered in this video, you just have a to practice. Pick up a wingman and start practicing in game.
I’m 4 years late ..dam
If this game come down to predictability, shouldn’t Mirage be the best legend?
does 144 hz monitor would be helpful on improving my tracking skill?
Yes because you'd see more frames, but I believe it could be potentially be a jarring transition as speeds (latency) changes a bit so your brain will have to get used to the new way content is displayed. Go for it though man, I definitely would!
@@donovanbishop5811 thanks for the response man. appreciated it. I'm too curious of what the 144 hz looks like hehe
@@jomarimahilum9767 for sure 👍 hope it helps!
Donovan Bishop thanks man 🤘🏼
I need help being ore aware. Thats my biggest problem. If I can fix my awareness and master it it can help me fix other problems have.
Dat spicy aim doe
Not quite Revenant's Raging Rampage 👀
Coach Nihil nah bro
That aim is FRICKIN SPICY
SUBBED!!!!
