Visibility in Apex Legends is pretty solid most of the time, but there are occasions where players can go unnoticed. Here’s how you can counter that and increase visibility when playing.

Having good visibility settings in Apex Legends is incredibly important, especially if you wish to avoid any frustrating deaths. Whether you want to increase your kill count or get better at counter sniping, you’ll need to adjust your game’s graphics settings. While Apex’s maps may be bright and vibrant, there are times when spotting enemy squads and players can be particularly tricky. 

After all, there are plenty of places for Legends to hide out of sight. These best Apex Legends visibility settings may not increase your KDA overnight, but they will help give you the best possible chances of securing those all-important kills. If you’re tired of being eliminated from out of nowhere, then you’ll definitely want to give these settings a try.
