In this post, I’ve gathered the best settings for Apex Legends. I’ve tested all possible settings combinations on different computers, and the settings below are what I found to be the best settings for Apex Legends overall.

With the below settings and data, you can expect an increase in performance, fps boost, lower input lag and latency, and possibly reduce & stabilize your ping.

Apart from that, I will also include sensitivity and mouse settings used by the most popular Pro Apex Legends players in the world to give you the best possible experience and competitive advantage while playing Apex.

Best Apex Legends Settings

Below you can find a table of contents with everything included in this guide. All the best Apex Legends settings are categorized from launch options to mouse and sensitivity settings by Pros.

Best Apex Legends Launch Options

You can add the following commands in your Steam or Origin Launch options to increase your game’s performance even more. The following commands will do the following:

• Give your game higher priority than the rest of the apps running at the same time
• Will preload different aspects of the game, which is really helpful for low-med end GPUs
• Will uncap the FPS limit in Apex Legends
• Will make your game run on Fullscreen since many times, this setting changes automatically.
• Skip the intro of the game every time it launches

-high -preload +fps_max 0 -fullscreen -novid -dev

Best Apex Legends Graphics settings

One of the most important settings tab in Apex Legends since the settings you will choose here will determine how your game looks and performs. Even players with the best hardware are lowering the graphics quality settings just for the game’s smoothness, the higher FPS, and the competitive advantage you get by not being distracted by fancy graphics.

• Display Mode: Full Screen. You always want to play on full screen since the game will run way better
• Aspect Ratio: Native for visuals. Higher than native if you want to be stretched. ( Make everything look a little bit bigger, so it may be helpful for you to hit targets easier)
• Resolution: Native
• Brightness: 50%
• Field of View: 110
• Sprint View Shake: Minimal, so when you are running, your screen doesn’t bounce.

Advanced

• V-Sync: Disabled. Always disabled since it adds input lag.
• NVidia Reflex: Experiment with this since it gives different results on different setups.
• Adaptive Resolution FPS Target: 0
• Adaptive Supersampling: Disabled.
• Anti-aliasing: None.
• Texture Streaming Budget: This really depends on your setup, and you have to test it out by yourself.
• Texture Filtering: Bilinear
• Ambient Occlusion Quality: Disabled
• Sun Shadow Coverage: Low
• Sun Shadow Detail: Low
• Spot Shadow Detail: Disabled
• Volumetric Lighting: Disabled
• Dynamic Spot Shadows: Disabled
• Model Detail: Low
• Effects Detail: Low
• Impact Marks: Disabled
• Ragdolls: Low

So actually, you have to set almost everything on the lowest option to give you the best performance and fps possible in-game except the Texture Streaming Budget setting, on which you will have to experiment by yourself to find the best balance.

Best Apex Legends Audio settings

Sound settings mostly default and personal preference.

  • Lobby Music Volume: 0
  • Sound in Background: Off
  • Play Incoming Text Chat as Speech: Off
  • Convert Incoming Voice to Chat Text: Off

Best Apex Legends Gameplay settings

• Interact Prompt Style: Compact. It’s the minimal way of showing information. Default takes up too much space of your screen for no actual reason.
• Button Hints: On. It tells you what button you should press to do specific things. For example, E to pick up ammo, E to open door. Alt+F4 to exit game, etc.
• Crosshair Damage Feedback: Off. It makes it a little bit easier to aim.

• Weapon Auto-Cycle on Empty: On. When you shoot the last available bullet/shot of a weapon, your other gun will pull out automatically.
• Auto-Sprint: Off.
• Double-Tap Sprint: Off.
• Incoming Damage Feedback: 3D. It shows in which direction you are getting shot by using a 3D Arrow.
• Taking Damage Closes Deathbox or Crafting Menu: Off. You don’t want to be out of your Death box just because someone is hitting you.
• Hop-Up Pop-Up: On. It shows a small kind of notification on the bottom right of the screen with every hop-up you attach to any gun.
• Streamer Mode: Hides people’s names in the kill feed.
• Anonymous Mode: Does the opposite of Streamer Mode. It hides your name in the kill feed.
• Usage Sharing: Disabled.
• Performance Display: On. Shows you performance stats on the top right corner.
• Club Invites: Whatever

• Accessibility
  • Color Blind Mode: I prefer Tritanopia.
  • Subtitles: Off
  • Subtitle Size: It doesn’t matter since subtitles are disabled.
  • Enable Accessible Chat Features: Off
  • Convert Incoming Voice to Chat Text: Off
  • Play incoming Text Chat as Speech: Off
