While it is perfectly fine to leave default settings on your favorite games, sometimes that is not good enough. When jumping into a battle royale like Apex Legends, you want to make sure you are setting yourself up for success by having the best settings that feel comfortable for you. One feature switched in the wrong direction can be the difference between you being Apex Champion or not. Here are the best settings to have set on Apex Legends for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox.
