🚀 Apex Legends Button Layout

A button layout in Apex Legends defines which controller button performs which action (jump, aim, shoot, sprint, tactical ability, etc.) based on a chosen scheme.
Some layouts are designed to improve mobility, enhance combat efficiency, or provide better accessibility for different playstyles.

📚 Available Apex Legends Layouts

• Default - Standard Apex Legends layout
• Evolved - Enhanced mobility and combat efficiency
• Default Swapped - Default with swapped triggers/bumpers
• Bumper Jumper - Jump on bumper for better mobility
• Button Puncher - Melee on right stick for quick access
• Grenadier - Grenades on bumper for faster throwing
• Ninja - Optimized for aggressive, fast-paced gameplay

📝 Tip: Apex Legends layouts are specifically designed for battle royale gameplay with unique features like tactical abilities, ultimate abilities, and ping systems.

⚙️ Set Your Layout in the Apex AIM Script

1. Open misc settings
2. Go to buttons layout
3. Select the layout that matches your Apex Legends controller scheme

💡 Apex Legends Pro Tips

• Keep layouts in sync: Ensure your in-game Apex Legends button layout matches your Apex AIM script layout
• Practice in Firing Range: Test new layouts in the Firing Range before using in matches
• Consider your legend: Some legends benefit more from certain layouts (e.g., movement legends work well with Bumper Jumper)
• Accessibility: If you need one-handed play or have specific accessibility needs, try Default Swapped or Button Puncher
• Muscle memory: Give yourself time to adapt to new layouts - it takes practice to retrain muscle memory
