before we start i would like to thank everyone! you guys are amazing in past week my channel
grew so much, and the comments are so sweet that i even sometimes wonder if this is for
real man, its been amazing to work on those videos! and i will try my best to keep top
quality content and to not get burned out. i will be doing apex giveaway soon, i was
planning to do one on 1k subs but before i was even able to do a video i had 3k+ and
by the time this video be realised it be even more so ill wait for a little bit, but i will
definetely do it. okay back to the video
Hey guys, patrice here once again with another guide for the series, you been asking for
Bloodhound and pathfinder, but pathfinder got like 50 likes so i decided to cover him
first! This legend is not support, ignore the cross on his image, this legend is a crazy
flanker he can get up enemys back so quickly that they wont even have tim to react, i have
no idea why Respawn though hes a support, i do get that his ult is supportive but so
is bangalors, anyway thats just my opinion... Today im going to add another point to the
series,from now i will also give my best advice for countering the legend when you face againts
him, and as always the timestamps for that and everything else will be down below so
feel free to move on to any point you wish, withoute wasting any more of your time lets
get in to it.
As always lest start of 1. counter picks and team comp
Pathfinder can counter multiple legends, just like with wraith, bangalors and Gibraltars
ult are worthless and you can graple ur self out of the danger really quickly, unless you
used it already... Caustic also has some trouble with this robot specially in an open zone,
since you can quickly get out of the gas, however it be a little bit harder if you are
cought inside a building, but still possible in most cases, from last video we learned
that caustic is strong inside, well pathfinder is complite opposite, very strong outside,
so it depends on where you meet each other one might have advantage over the other, didnt
ment to rhime there lol, now lets talk about your counters, wraith can escape from you
quite easily specially after you used ur graple, mirage can actually bamboozle you with his
decoys, and even after a successfully executed flank, you lose all advantage by shooting
at his clone and giving away ur postion, after what the enemy team will all together colaps
on the poor robot that cant even escape since he used his graple to flank... Bloodhound
can also slightly counter pathfinder with his ultimate since he will be able to clearly
see you and if hes experienced he will be able to predict when you trying to flank and
give away ur position aswell, and last but not least bangalor, her passive is actually
quit peinful to deal with, like at least wraith tactical can be followe up on but bangalors
passive just gives her a massive speed bust which she uses to fight you back, so if you
do flank and u see bangalor maybe try kill everyone else before fighting bangalore. since
if she keeps dodging you probably will be shot by her teammates.
thats pretty much everything i learned about counters, now lets move to team composition,
the best one is probably bloodhound since he can give away enemy position which will
make ur flanking graple way easier, since you will know exactly where to expect the
enemy, also bangalors smoke and gibraltars tactical shield works good with ur ziplines,
since they can provide cover on exit points of ur ziplines which wont let enemys easily
poke you, but be careful since you are pretty open when you using zipline and its easy to
predict where you go. you can use Wraith ult and ur ult to cover even more traveling distance.
Mirage would be really usefull but unfortinately his decoys dont stay on the zipline, they
just fall off, hopefully that will be added on in future though. and also caustic can
profit from your passive and i will be getting in to that in a minute, alright with this
out of the way lets get in to the Skills
2. Skills Passive Insider Knowledge - this ability is
pretty straight forward and all of you probably already aware of what it does, it revelas
the next rings location all you have to do is scan a beacon, they are all around the
map, theres few ways getting value out of this ability, first is to work with a trap
legend, at this time theres only caustic but im sure there will be more in future, what
you want to do is be ready near a beacon when the storm moving in and as soon as it hits
the line and you get new circle on your map use it then to reveal the circle after that
so you get even more ahead, and will have around 6 +/- minutes to go in to the second
circel and set up traps all aroudn there, also theres a good way to get use of it together
with ur ult, i will be getting in to that a bit later, for now lets move on to your
tactical ability Grappling Hook - this is the ability that u rely on the most, and its
the hardest tactical ability in the game to learn for now, getting a hang of this might
take day or two and mastering it probably a week or more. i see a lot of players still
using it wrong and i dont judge them since its hard, youtuber called MrBlaBlak made a
really good video just on this, and if you should watch it if you want to master it,
but he has an accent and sometiems its a bit hard to understand what hes talking about,
i breafly will explain how this ability works but if you want to go in depth i recomend
to check out his video, just writte apex grapple guide in youtube, okay so few problems i had
after watching MrBlaBlak video was, that i always used to forget to jump when the animation
for the hook stars, this is very important, if you wont jump then the entire techique
fails, you have to always jump right after deploying ur ability, usually i tell it by
the sound or the animation of the hand streaching out, and the second thing MrBlaBlak didnt
explain was that you have to keep it at 90 degrees all the time untill you want it to
detach, so after watching his video i would copy his exact movement and that flick that
he does at start to the side, but after that i would just let my self fly forwards and
the grapple would detach and i couldnt understand what i did wrong, what you want to do is always
keep it at 90 degrees untill the point u want it to be detached so when you flying keep
moving ur mouse to the side aswell, so you wouldnt get out of the 90 degrees point, one
tip i can give is learn to do this before trying to do all the rest, try to keep ur
grapple swinging side to side and try to keep it from not detaching as long as possible,
after you master this you can pretty much do anything else and it will be much easier
to learn, make sure to watch his video since i think its really helpful and he clearly
knows what hes talkign about. now lets get back to my usual script.
this ability can be used for flanking or for escaping, you can use it as a support and
just as confusion whyle in a fight. lets start with flanking, this ability is made for it,
theres so many ways to flank your enemy with the grapple, usually i prefer to get some
cover fire first, make my enemy think we are shooting at them withoute any tactic, but
then suddenly just fly myself around them and quickly attack them from the back, if
the enemy is smart though they will hear the grappling hook sound and will predict ur movement,
either way it will still cause trouble for them as long as you have a teammate that will
follow up, the other way i like to use it, is similar to the way i use my mirage decoys,
go behind an wall or something thats in the way after which i would swing around it and
shoot my the unexpecting enemy from the back. moving on to escaping as u can see in this
video im hiding from my enemy and trying to heal, but then this decoy comes out and i
get baited and shoot it, after which i realise that the entire enemy squad now knows my position
plus i have no health so i will be an easy pick, i use the grappling hook to make some
distance between the place i got baited at after which just carry on healing, grapple
is so good for escaping since it give you so much distance where people cannot follow
up on you unlike wraiths teleport, another pro bit i found is that if you get downed
whyle u r using you grapple you will still be able to finish of the flight before droping
down, so even if i would of been shot in mid air, i would of made enough distance to give
my self some time and not getting executed, as i said before yo u can also use it to escape
from granades or aoe ults, so every time i see danger i just flick my self out of there.
since the hook cooldown is 14 seconds you can always use it to support your team, if
your teammate is fighting an enemy and you have some distance between you, you can always
slingshot yourself to him and help him out, or even if he goes down you still could have
potentially enough time to get there and save him in time, since you are really agile and
can get around pretty quickly, but only if you know how to use the grapple correctly,
and moving to the last point, using it for the confusion, when you fight with enemy and
you notice that he has a lazer aim on you, you can use ur hook to move around or even
pretend that you gonna move around after which just slingshot ur self back, but the only
problem with this is that you cant use ur weapon whyle grappling, so be carful with
this tactic. oh and did u know if you grapple an enemy
he wont be able to shoot, and you will get to kick him for 30 dmg, you can also run around
an oject to hold him grappled for longer andgive ur team mroe time to kill him, but to grapple
an enemy it self is a very hard to execute lol, but if you have a good aim why not do
it? give u free cc and ur team can shut him down, or you jsut get a free kick with 30
dmg. alright we covered the main ability, now lets
move on to the ultimate Zipline Gun - ability that can give
you advantage and kill you at the same time, theres a big draw back with his ziplines,
the main one would be that you are very predictable, and whyle you are sliding on the zipline you
can easily catch some bullets, its also pretty loud when you use it, but there is good to
it aswell, you can use it for flanking your enemy with ur entire team, the main way to
use this is to gain high advantage, i believe we all know that high matters alot in this
game, you can easily pop out of cover shoot some bullets on to enemy whos bellow you and
if they shoot back you can just pop back in and heal up, this is the main reason this
ability is good, as long as ur enemy dont use it to get to you, but if they will no
worries just have one of your teammates or urself looking after it, they be moving in
a straight line so its a pretty easy kill, one thing i tried and did few times is actually
deploy the ultimate straight in to enemy team, make them think i be ziplining to them, so
they start looking out and camping, whyle my teammate would flank them and pick up a
kill or two, after which i would actually use the zipline to join the fight since they
aint looking that way anymore, keep in mind if anyoen shoots at u even once or near u
whyle u r on the zipline, immediatey jump of, ive seen so many players carry on ziplining
after getting shot once or twice, like whats going thhrough their heads? oh i got shot
once, no worries he will miss the next 5 shots, its not like im moving in a straight line
and im very predictable... so yeah, always jump of if theres any danger!
another funny way i discovered of using this ability
is together with ur passive, as soon as you know where the next circel will be, get there
asap, and try to secure the highest point, after what spread your ults like a cobweb
all around, so you always have an easy drop and you can always come back just as easy,
after which just look out for enemys and if you see them you can always go attack whyle
someone is left behind to look after the place, and thats pretty much teh tactic, just keep
doing that and clearing teams out, well unless you get over run. in my experience i think
the best set up for pathfinder is a long range weapon such as sniper for example longbow,
and some kind of short weapon like peacekeeper or smg, so when you are far away camping on
high u can use ur sniper, and when you flanking and grappling in u can use ur close range,
but its to u to decide if u want to play defencive or offencive. Theres also a way of using it
to rescue ur teammates, so if you are away but your team is in trouble, you can actually
ult on to them so they can get away, but make sure to give some cover fire, or you can even
slingshot ur self away from danger after which throw your ult on ur team so they can get
away aswell. same thing goes on to reviving ur team, just ult on them and then after reviving
they have an escape aswell, tehre is a big downside as i said before though, you are
pretty easy target on the zipline so make sure if you have someone like bangalore to
throw smoke on enemy teams so they would struggle seeing you.and thats pretty much it for the
skills, now lets move to Pros and Cons
Pros You are basically a spider man.
you flanking potential is higher then any flanking legend for some weird reason.
it feels really rewarding to learn or even master his grappling hook.
its easy to get in to fight or out of the fight and in general escaping
you can support your team with ur ultimate ur passive helps you with planing for the
future. you can escape from dangerous ultimates
you almsot always have hight advantage you dont have any major coutners yet
you can fit in any team comp maybe your hit box is a little bit smaller
then most of the legends
and now moving to cons
Cons your ziplines are predictable
tactical ability is very hard to learn and even harder to master
your ult can be used againts you your passive is not as profitible at this
time you rely on your grappling hook too much,
failing might get u killed and not knowing how to use it makes the legend
useless
and lets move to a new feature, how to counter pathfinder.
i would reccomend if you playing gibraltar or bangalor not usign ur ultimate before you
see him use his grapple. if you ever see him deploying zipline watch
out for a flank/ or if he comes straight on it jus shoot him, hes an easy target
listen out for grapple sound, it makes a sound every time, if you hear it that usually means
that pathfinder is trying to flank you, so alert your team and colaps on him
if he used his grapple taht means u have 14 second before he will be able to use it again,
use it wisely if you getting sandwiched between a pathfinder
and his team, try to cut their vision, for example with bangalor you can throw smokes
at his team whyle fighting the robot, or ultimate, also gibraltars ultimate works great, caustic
can cover your backs with his gass, specially that gass slows down pathfinder, and we know
what happens with flankers that are slowed down, they get destoryyyed
Theory ______<also i have this theory, pathfidner
graple can go through the shields, so technically maybe you can stop enemy lifeline from rescuing
her teammate, since bullets cant, also u can pull out an enemy gibraltar or his teamates
that hide in the shield, but be careful since that also means that you lose ur graple and
womt be able to escape as easily>_______
well, thats pretty much everything i learned from pathfinder during this couple of days
sweating him, the hardest bit is to learn his grapple, but its so much fun after you
actually learn it, dont forget to watch videos on his grappling hook, i learned by using
MrBlaBlak video, very useful but you can learn from streamers and lots of other youtubers.
if you liked this video make sure to leave a thumbs up make sure to leave a comment if
theres any tip that i miseed out on, or if you know some tips, i will apreciate
it and im sure other people will aslo, i will try to higlight all the tips.
next video should be about bloodhound, if you have any cool tips that you found out
about bloodhound it will help me out if you comment them dowm below aswell
,also dont forget to subscribe since i be making a lot more apex videos on legends/
weapons/ maps/ news/ updates/ leaks and etc thank you for watching guys and i see you
in the game!
