Apex Legends Guides: Top 8 Traits of a Teammate

When playing Apex Legends, it can be difficult to build chemistry with those you meet in random matchmaking scenarios. Not to mention that your pals you play with might not be up to scratch with the rest of the players in the community. Sure, it's not all about winning but it sure is fun. So why not give yourself the best chance of being the last players standing.

As part of our Apex best guides, we have put together some recommendations on what to look for in a teammate when playing Apex Legends. It's a list of tips and tricks that will allow you to build chemistry with your team, plan accordingly, communicate effectively and create tactics to win much more consistently. Take a look.

1. Friendship or Likability

To get any good together and perform optimally as a team in any walk of life there has to be time dedicated to improving. This time could, therefore, be the best part of your day with a friend or someone you genuinely like. However, if the opposite is true, you'll soon be logging off early, and the search for that new partner begins all over again.

2. Availability

This is key. What use is a teammate if they're only available to play for 20 minutes here or there. Worse, what if they're only free on weekends or whenever you have school or work. Obviously, this won't be optimal, and the scheduling alone will suck any joy out of the few games you do get together. The dream teammate is someone who lives in the same time zone as you and has a pretty similar work/life balance. They're out there, trust us.

3. Kill Conscious

If your teammate is always stealing your kills or worse, the glory kills in the final moments of the game. Get them out of your lobby as quickly as possible. Nobody wants that and they need to learn the hard way. Your teammate should be setting you up and helping improve you K/D not farming up their own off the back of your hard work.

4. Good internet connection

A teammate is someone who is right with you in the thick of it, someone who you know has your back when you're about to hit a risky maneuver. What happens if they just suddenly disconnect? Leaving you for dead with no cover? This is why your teammate has to have a decent to a good internet connection with a low ping to ensure these heart-breaking losses don't occur. Also, nobody wants to sit there waiting for their teammate to stop rubber banding about the map.

5. Ability

This one should be quite obvious, but the ideal teammate has to be someone who at least matches your own ability, or better yet, surpasses you. This way you will either improve together or you will get to learn from them, see how they move in certain areas of the map or the cycles they work in. A teammate who is far worse than you, or even at 'noob' level is really not a good addition to your squad. Imagine having to explain the control scheme for the 5th time in less than an hour and you'll understand.

6. Mic quality

Once again, fairly obvious, but the perfect teammate will always have a decent quality mic and hopefully a good gaming headset attached to it. This way they will not only communicate with you effectively but also hear the game properly, reducing deaths from behind. There's nothing worse than having someone on your team with a pair of Apple earphones as their mic, especially if they do that awful beeping noise every minute.

7. Character choice

One thing that is essential within Apex and other similar games is character choice, especially when playing as a team. There is no point playing as a team of three Caustics or Bloodhounds. It's important to have a variety of different skills and abilities in your locker to give you the best chance of success. So try and match up with players that specialize in characters besides your own to get the best results.

8. Concentration

A great teammate is someone who maintains a high level of concentration throughout the game, someone who isn't distracted by stuff going on around them in their place. There's no point in that teammate who is always eating their dinner in the middle of the game. Leaving you to cover them while they pull something out of the oven.

So that's our list on the most important traits of an Apex teammate. What are the most valued assets you look for in a teammate? Are there any on this list that you find essential? What's your favorite character combination to load out with as a team? Pause for a second and give it a thought. But remember, while your aim is to improve in the game further, don't forget to help others and have fun!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
