Apex Legends (Switch) Walkthrough, Secrets & Cheat Codes

1Game Basics

2Core Gameplay

Success in Apex Legends is about resource discipline: ammo, health and positioning. On the Switch the combat is crunchy and readable, and the difficulty scales fairly once you stop panicking and start planning. What keeps Apex Legends fun is variety — weapons, encounters and set-pieces change often enough that you never settle into autopilot. The Switch release is the one we point new players toward.

The single most important habit in Apex Legends is consistency — the systems reward players who learn the core loop before chasing shortcuts, and almost every wall you hit is a sign to practice one mechanic, not to abandon the run.

Priority checklist (do these first):

• Finish on the hardest setting only after you know every encounter.
• Learn grenade arcs for the two chokepoints you fight most.
• Use the environment; explosive barrels are free damage.
• Keep moving — a stationary target is an easy target.
• Save special weapons for vehicle or boss phases.

Common beginner mistake: The error that gets you killed in Apex Legends is reloading in the open; the reload animation is your most vulnerable window.

3Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Follow this order and you will clear Apex Legends on Switch without grinding for hours. Each step builds on the last, so do not skip ahead — the early habits make the late game trivial.

1. Finish on the hardest setting only after you know every encounter.
2. Learn grenade arcs for the two chokepoints you fight most.
3. Use the environment; explosive barrels are free damage.
4. Keep moving — a stationary target is an easy target.
5. Save special weapons for vehicle or boss phases.
6. Manage ammo; melee or sidearm when low rather than reloading in the open.
7. Use cover between bursts; peek, shoot, retreat, repeat.
8. Prioritize the heaviest enemy first to reduce incoming damage.
9. Upgrade mobility early so you can escape bad engagements.
10. Replay a mission on easy to learn spawn patterns, then step up.

Once the campaign is done, replay on a harder setting or chase 100% completion; the systems you learned on the first run make the second feel completely different, and most Apex Legends players agree the post-game is where the real depth lives.
