Apex Legends pro player and Twitch personality Trenton ‘lou’ Clements has revealed a recoil trick for the Flatline that makes the weapon pinpoint accurate at long range.
Learning and mastering weapons in Apex Legends can be tricky, especially with so many of the guns being difficult to control with no attachments.
Players will often leave heavy ammo weapons on the ground and go for an alternative that has less recoil. One weapon that often gets left to the wayside is the Flatline, with players preferring to use a Volt or R-301.
Well, an Apex Legends pro player has shown off a simple trick for the Flatline that completely nullifies the gun’s recoil pattern.
Simple Apex Legends Flatline recoil trick
During his May 10 Twitch stream, Apex Legends pro player lou showed off a simple trick that he uses to control the Flatline’s recoil.
While most players simply pull down to control the kickback of the Flatline, lou draws tiny circles with his scope as he’s firing. This completely nullifies the gun’s recoil and makes it unbelievably accurate.
He even demonstrates the technique on stream, showing exactly how it can be replicated in-game to beam enemies from a distance.
