Cover-Credits:
If you are playing Apex Legends and are not getting a stable framerate, you should consider tweaking your settings for a better experience. In competitive shooters like Apex Legends, it is a good idea to turn down your settings as much as possible to give yourself the best framerates. Some settings like Bloom and Volumetric Fog can make the game look better but they end up adding visual clutter and it becomes harder to pinpoint enemies at long ranges because of it. We have two sets of settings that you can try out for mid-range PCs and low-end PCs, that might give you the competitive advantage you need.

If you have a high-end PC you can just turn up the settings all the way up and see if you are happy with the performance. Most modern high-end PCs are capable of offering 144fps or higher even at maximum settings but things like volumetric fog and bloom can hurt your visibility. Pro players generally prefer keeping all settings turned down.
