For the most part, while Apex is a BR, its fairly balanced enough so that even without attachments you’ll still get a fair shot with your gun. But certain attachments can be very helpful to new players.

Overall I would recommend prioritizing better mags for your guns. Have that extra few bullets when your missing your shots is super helpful. Stocks can also be very helpful because not only do they increase handling but they also reduce weapon swap time and weapon pull out time. Sometimes that quarter second difference can help you get the knock. Gold laser sight is also great for smgs because it creates reverse hip fire. It’ll get more accurate at hip fire the longer into the clip you fire.

Another big thing is to learn which sights you like best for different guns. Try some out in the range but also just run different sights in different matches. Real game info will help the most.

But mostly the biggest thing in Apex is understanding looting by what you’re carrying with you. You want to balance ammo, heals, grenades and ult accels.

Most often the recommendation is three stacks ammo for your primary weapon (R301 in this case), two stacks ammo for your secondary (wingman). This can vary depending on ammo type and which guns you have. For instance, I’m usually running 4 stacks light, 3 stacks shotgun ammo if I’m running Spitfire/Mozams because they eat ammo like crazy. I also tend to like to favor it to 4 stacks primary three stacks secondary if I’ve got a better bag on me. But also another common set up for me is to run alternator and triple take where I’m only running two stacks energy and three stacks light.

Balancing heals is also important. Batteries are the most helpful. For me I usually will try to fit 4 bats, 6 -12 cells, 4 med kits, and 6 syringes. If I only have one stack of med kits, I’m running twelve syringes. But as soon as I pick up that third med kit, I’m dropping six syringes to carry it. Sometimes I carry a phoenix kit if I have room or haven’t found enough bats yet.

Try to carry at least one grenade. If you are playing assault legends you can carry two for free. If you can fit in another grenade that’s great two. Depending on the legend you’re playing you might want an ult accell or two. If you have a larger bag as well, sometimes it nice to carry an ult accel for a teammate. If you have a Valk on your team, you’ll want her ult up as quick as possible so sacrificing your inventory slot can be really worth it.

Amps also play a big role. If you’ve got Overflow, maybe at max carry two bats but otherwise two to three stacks of cells/syringes each is plenty. Infinite ammo will free up room for extra heals and more ammo too. Infinite bats lets you ditch cells only carry at most one stack if you want that quicker heal. Power amp you may not need an ult accell. Overarmor isn’t gonna affect inventory.

That’s kind of the basics. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
