Okay, let’s talk about messing around with iitztimmy’s Apex settings. I’ve been playing Apex for a while now, you know, got my own setup pretty dialed in, or so I thought. But you see these cracked players like Timmy, doing insane stuff, and you start wondering, “What’s their secret sauce?”
Getting Started
So, first thing I did was try to actually find his current settings. You know how it is, these guys change stuff all the time. I spent a bit searching around, looking at recent vods, checking those sites that try to keep track of pro settings. Found a setup people seemed to agree was his recent one.
Plugging Them In
Alright, got the game fired up. Went straight into the settings menu. First up, video settings. I noted down what he used – seemed like a mix, some stuff low for performance, maybe textures a bit higher. Copied those over. My game looked a little different, maybe a bit cleaner, less clutter. Okay, step one done.
Then, the big one: sensitivity and mouse settings. Got his DPI and in-game sensitivity. Punched those numbers in. My usual sens is kinda medium, I guess, but his felt different. Like, noticeably faster or slower, I can’t recall exactly right now but it wasn’t what I was used to. Also checked his keybinds. He had some interesting choices, different from my layout. I decided, heck, let’s go all in. Changed my keybinds to match his, stuff like crouch, jump, tactical, ultimate.
First Feel in Firing Range
Jumped into the Firing Range immediately. Man, it felt weird. Moving the mouse felt completely off. My muscle memory was fighting me hard. Trying to track the dummies felt super awkward. Even basic movement felt strange with the new keybinds. I kept hitting my old keys for heals or grenades. Spent a good 20-30 minutes just sliding around, shooting bots, trying to get a feel for the sensitivity. Recoil control felt different too, needed new micro-adjustments.
Taking it to Real Games
Okay, deep breath, time for actual matches. Queued up some pubs. Oh boy. First few engagements were rough. I was whiffing shots I’d normally hit. My tracking was shaky. Got caught out reloading because I fumbled the keybind. Movement felt clumsy; I wasn’t hitting wall bounces or slides as cleanly. It was frustrating, not gonna lie. Felt like I was learning the game all over again sometimes.
- Lost a lot of initial gunfights.
- Messed up tactical ability usage hitting the wrong key.
- Aim felt inconsistent, sometimes okay, sometimes terrible.
But, I stuck with it for a few sessions. Slowly, very slowly, started to adapt a little. Hit a nice wingman shot that surprised me. Felt like maybe the tracking was getting a tiny bit smoother on certain guns once I focused. The keybinds started to feel slightly less alien, though still not natural.
Making Adjustments
After playing with his exact settings for a bit, I realized a 1:1 copy just wasn’t for me. His sensitivity, while maybe perfect for him and his setup, just didn’t click perfectly with my hand and how I aim. So, I started tweaking. Nudged the sensitivity down just a tiny bit. Felt a little more controllable then. I also changed one or two keybinds back, the ones that felt the most awkward and were messing up my flow in critical moments. Kept most of his video settings though, liked the clarity.
Final Thoughts
So, that was my little experiment trying out iitztimmy’s settings. It was interesting, for sure. Didn’t magically give me his skills, obviously. But it was a good exercise. Forced me to think about why I use my own settings and experience something different. Learned that lower sensitivities might help some people with smoothness, even if I didn’t stick with his exact number. It’s a reminder that pro settings are a good starting point, maybe find some inspiration, but you gotta tweak and find what fits you best. Took what I learned, adjusted things, and now feel a bit more informed about my own preferences. Worth the effort, I’d say.
