In Apex Legends, you’re a sure target while looting. The moment you’re most vulnerable is when you’re trying to quickly exit the Death Box interface after getting attacked out of the blue.
Closing the looting window is a hassle in itself.
If you’ve died so many times while getting out of a Death Box, it’s time to do things differently.
How do I exit a Death Box without getting shot in Apex Legends?
The fastest and safest way to exit a Death Box in Apex Legends is by pressing the Tab key. The Death Box window will close instantly and you can focus on dodging incoming attacks and taking out your enemies.
If you try to exit the window by pressing the Escape key, chances are you’ll get killed. The window will take a couple of seconds to close which makes you extremely vulnerable to enemy attacks.
Pressing the ESC is not the most convenient way to exit the looting interface when you’re scrambling for better armor and weapons in the middle of a fight.
How to avoid getting killed while looting in Apex Legends
The main disadvantage when looting is that you can’t sprint or turn. That’s why you should always heal before looting.
Grab only what you really need and go. Don’t spend too much time looting as this can turn you into a sitting duck.
