Best settings for Apex Legends Mobile in March 2022

The battle royale concept has been a big hit with mobile gamers, with PUBG Mobile being one of the highest grossing games in the category right from release. Initial stats suggest that Apex's mobile version is also headed straight for top of the leaderboards. Let's see how one can optimize their in-game settings to differentiate themselves from the millions of people joining the game every day.

Aim Assist	On
Bolt-action Sniper Firing Mode	Tap to Fire

ADS on mobile devices is tricky, given the smaller screen size, so players are recommended to follow the given settings to make the most of the available space to maneuver on a phone.

Similar to how sensitivity settings are key to success on PC, effectively using a gyroscope is important to win fights on mobile.

Players with budget devices should adjust their video quality as per their device's capability while keeping the frame rate as advised below.

Settings	Status
Image Quality	As per device
Frame Rate Control	High
Graphics Style (Post Effect)	Vivid
Non-standard Screen UI Adjustments	Recommended
