That’s because I pre-record them and reuse the same setup in most of my videos. ** Apex Legends cannot exceed 300FPS due to engine limits. Tests were conducted in Firing Range for consistent and repeatable results. *** This video contains affiliate links. Purchasing through them helps support the channel at no extra cost to you.
