After downloading these files, you must install the EA or Origin application, create an account, and log in. Make sure that the regular version of Apex is in your EA library. It does not need to be installed on your computer. Note that the regular version will not affect R5 Reloaded.

Once these conditions are met, you must complete the following steps:

  • Install the base R5 Reloaded game on your PC. You can download it from the link provided above. You can keep the R5 Reloaded installation on an external drive if you want to. Just refrain from moving the folder around once it's set.
  • Once that is done, copy the contents of the SDK file into your base R5 Reloaded folder. Make sure you don’t paste them in any folder inside the R5 base folder.
  • You will be asked if you want to “Replace or Skip Files.” You will have to allow it to be replaced by clicking on “Replace the file in the destination.”
  • Copy all the files in the Flowstate zip folder into the scripts folder that you will find in the platform folder in the base R5 Reloaded section.

How to play the Aim Trainer in R5 Apex Legends?

With R5 Reloaded running, click on “Create” and then “Select Playlist.” Afterward, you can choose “FS Aimtrainer” and start the game to practice your aim.


Is R5 Reloaded better than normal version?

R5 Reloaded is a modded version of Apex, and its only purpose is to help you improve your game. You cannot enjoy Apex through R5, as there will not be real enemies.

So, it is best not to compare the two versions as they represent two starkly different aspects of Apex.
