It really depends on your play style. If you like getting into the action fast, dropping closer to the flight path (within 300-400 meters) gives you that instant action. But if you're more about looting and playing the long game, aim for 700-1000 meters away. Less competition for loot and more time to strategize.

600 meters is the magic number. I've been playing since release, and dropping around 600 meters away from your flight path almost always works best. Not too hot, not too cold. Just perfect for gearing up and getting into some fights.

Just drop wherever your heart desires! Apex is all about having fun and playing your way. Sure, there's strategy, but sometimes the best moments come from the chaos of dropping into a hot zone.

Generally, aiming for a drop about 500-600 meters from your flight path can land you in a sweet spot. Far enough to avoid the initial scramble but close enough that you're not spending the whole match running. Make sure to dive at a steep angle to gain speed and then glide horizontally to cover the distance.

I say drop hot or go home. The real fun is in the chaos of the first few minutes. If you survive, you're set for the game. If not, just jump back in. It's all about the thrill!
