NOTE: You can skip this section if you already have an autoexec.cfg set up.

First and foremost, you need to create an autoexec.cfg file that will hold all your new keybinds.

To do this you want to open your games library in Steam. Right click Apex Legends and go to properties.



Next, copy and paste the following commands into your launch options:

-novid +exec autoexec

Now we want to create the actual autoexec.cfg file itself.

While you're still in properties select LOCAL FILES and click the BROWSE button.



A window will pop up, and you should see a folder called cfg.
Open the cfg folder and once you're in it right click to create a new text document or wordpad file.
Make sure your “File Name Extensions” are turned on otherwise you won't be able to change the file type.



Rename the New Text Document.txt to autoexec.cfg



It should look like this:



...And finished! Now you're ready to add your new keybinds and any other console commands.

Do you prefer having auto-sprint on, but miss the ability to walk and be more stealthy when enemies are nearby?



Copy and paste the following commands to your autoexec.cfg

// SHIFT WALK: Allows you to hold shift to walk while auto-sprint is turned on.
// NOTE: "+variableScopeToggle" is added so you can still adjust your zoom while in ADS.
bind_US_standard "LSHIFT" "+walk; +variableScopeToggle" 0
player_setting_autosprint "1"

This will allow you to hold Shift to walk whenever you feel like it.
NOTE: Shift will still be used to change your optic scope, but the in game hint will show up as blank.

The difference between winning or losing a duel is often decided by whether or not you can get a heal off in time. So you'll want to be able to quickly restore your shields or heal up without fumbling around with your controls.

The keybinds below will allow you to use a single key for both a shield battery and cell, and another key for the med kit and syringe.



Copy and paste the following commands to your autoexec.cfg

// HEALING: Tapping the selected key will prioritize the cell/syringe.
// Holding the selected key will prioritize the battery/med kit.
bind_US_standard "z" "use_consumable SHIELD_LARGE; use_consumable SHIELD_SMALL"
bind_held_US_standard "z" "use_consumable SHIELD_SMALL; use_consumable SHIELD_LARGE"
bind_US_standard "x" "use_consumable PHOENIX_KIT"
bind_US_standard "c" "use_consumable HEALTH_LARGE; use_consumable HEALTH_SMALL"
bind_held_US_standard "c" "use_consumable HEALTH_SMALL; use_consumable HEALTH_LARGE"

It should look like this once you're finished.



How to use your new keybinds

Tapping z = Shield Cell
Holding z = Shield Battery
Tapping z but no cell = Shield Battery
Holding z but no battery = Shield Cell

Tapping x = Phoenix Kit

Tapping c = Syringe
Holding c = Med Kit
Tapping c but no syringe = Med Kit
Holding c but no med kit = Syringe

NOTE: Be sure to change your ultimate keybind to something else (I use T) or change the keybinds listed to your own preference.



Now you can deal with all those pesky Bampots!
