How to use abilities in Apex Legends
In Apex Legends, each Legend has three abilities: a Tactical Ability, a Passive Ability, and an Ultimate Ability. You'll use your Tactical Ability with the Q key on PC, L1 on PlayStation, or LB on Xbox. Passive Abilities are always active, so no need to worry about those. For the Ultimate Ability, you'll press Z on PC, L2 + R2 on PlayStation, or LT + RT on Xbox. Just remember, timing and strategy are key for using these abilities effectively!

Just smash the buttons, and something cool will happen. JK, but seriously, Q/L1/LB for Tactical, Z/L2+R2/LT+RT for Ultimate. And Passive? Just sit back and enjoy the ride, it's automatic.
Honestly, just knowing when to use them is more important than how. Especially with Ultimates. Timing can win or lose you the game.
