In this part of the video, the content creator sets out to discover what would happen if a seasoned Warzone player spends a month dedicated to playing Apex Legends. The main goals include tracking the highest kills, highest damage badge, and learning new movements. Initially, despite confident expectations and some preparation, the creator faces challenges such as enemy health and ammo constraints, leading to a rough start with low performance. Disheartened yet determined, they outline three rules for the challenge: no help from friends, playing only in public matches, and a one-month time limit. The initial strategy involves focusing on learning game mechanics through practice in the firing range and multiplayer modes before moving onto the Battle Royale aspect. A significant early goal is mastering the wall bounce, which proves challenging but achievable with persistent effort.

In this part of the video, the creator describes their journey of improving their skills in a game, focusing on aim training and applying new movement techniques in real matches. Initially, they struggle with using various weapons and character abilities, and realize that mastering wall bounces in-game is quite challenging. Despite these difficulties, they enjoy using SMGs and discover the importance of hip firing. Achieving their first wall bounce kill boosts their motivation.
By the second day, they learn how to wall bounce without sliding, useful in close-quarters combat, and how to change direction in the air, opening new movement possibilities. On the third day, they notice a decline in their aim when incorporating movement during gunfights. They discuss the controversy around a popular movement technique that can be executed using a scroll wheel or macro.
Despite the challenges and mistakes, they decide to double down on practicing movement and aiming simultaneously, working on basic and advanced techniques like strafing and wall bouncing. They are determined to make these skills muscle memory, finding the process both challenging and rewarding. They conclude that the depth and skill gap of the game, particularly in comparison to Warzone, is what makes Apex Legends so appealing and satisfying to play.

In this segment of the video, the creator transitions to playing Battle Royale mode and is confronted with new challenges, such as navigating large maps and learning numerous Points of Interest (POIs). They strategize by selecting landing spots near the center of each map to gain quick familiarity. During their first solo Duos game on Olympus, they practice fighting while outnumbered, managing to score early wins but also facing setbacks. They show persevering determination by jumping back into games, working on their mechanics, scoring multiple kills, and using smarter tactics such as isolating gunfights and using grenades.

In this part of the video, the narrator reflects on their struggles and progress while playing the game Apex Legends. Initially, they faced challenges such as misunderstanding game mechanics and getting outplayed by other characters’ abilities. Despite some successes, including an eight-kill game, they found themselves continually outmatched, particularly in solo trios which were significantly tougher than duos. The narrator realized that practicing in mixtape modes, where ideal weapon setups are provided and health regenerates automatically, didn’t prepare them for the randomness and resource management required in Battle Royale. To improve, they committed to practicing with a wider range of weapons and learning how to heal efficiently without losing control of the game.

In this part of the video, the narrator explores the impact of practicing specific weaknesses and improving mechanics to perform better in the game.

Despite some setbacks, they became more comfortable using medkits and managed to compete effectively in trios by practicing in mixtape modes and Battle Royale games. However, as a solo player, they struggled to achieve higher kill games and win consistently.
Realizing the need for a change, the narrator decided to play with teammates to improve their chances. This decision paid off as having teammates allowed them to rotate and flank more effectively, resulting in easier kills and better teamwork. Playing with a team of scanning legends made it simpler to find and eliminate enemies, leading to a successful match where they finally understood the advantage of team play in the game.

The creator dedicates several days to perfecting these maneuvers. By day 23, they resume their Battle Royale grind, only to find that playing with random teammates presented unexpected challenges, such as competing for the Wraith legend and dealing with the “pub dilemma” where most teams hot drop, leading to quickly dying lobbies. This forces the player into either instant action or prolonged looting. Despite moments of success against weaker teams, they struggle against more coordinated squads.
