Has the worst Round 1.Covenant or Promethean enemies on the beach. The beach slopes down, which means you can shoot from afar, and have to come close to where they are dropped off or spawn from. There is no cover and everyone is shooting at you.
Promethean soldiers hidden inside the building (is that a garage/armoury). You need to get through waves of soldiers and crawlers plus watchers to kill them. They have the higher ground. Some crawlers come behind from the beach to shooting at your back.
Elites hidden inside a cave with waves of covenant surrounding the entrance. Not much cover as its still on the beach.
Defend armoury – far away from where you are dropped off. Before you get there, prometheans have taken up permanent residence in the armoury.
Hunters on the roof of the armoury. (this is ok).
Unfortunately, a bad start affects how perform in subsequent rounds.
Every new round is situated at the opposite end of the map. Apex is massive.
There was a time a REQ a level 5 random weapon, and I got a chain gun, before I could slowly & steadily carry it to where the fight was, the round was over.
There is hardly cover. Lot of the fights are either on the beach where there is no cover, around the spire where there is no cover or hidden inside a cave where you are forced to go on foot and are an easy target for the bosses.
Defend the Spire is my least favourite defend rounds
There is a round where you have 4 soldier bosses located in 4 different areas across the large Apex map. They are on top of structures - if you are on foot, half of the round will be spent running, if you are on a ground vehicle, good luck shooting a bad guy hiding on the roof. If you are flying, wasp is almost useless as they will shoot you down before you do any significant damage. Depending on earlier rounds, you may not have enough REQ level for a banshee.
Round 5 with grunt mech surrounded by knights, soldiers, wraiths, covenant,etc. Still issue of no cover, no line of sight until you are within their range. I’ve seen an instance of 3 or 4 tanks struggling to get a shot in at the top of the slope and scrambling back for cover. one bold guy drove their scorpion down the slope and did not survive the drive. If you succeed in killing the grunt mech, you still have mythic hunters hidden inside a cave with waves of crawlers, ghosts, and indescribable bad guys hanging around.
To take out the Grunt mech out you need the Spartan Laser with Damage boost hit the glass repeatedly after the glass breaks keep shooting him with the Spartan Laser. I did this and took him out quick. Get a tank for the remainder two boss.

I will try the spartan laser next time.
I’ve tried beam, sniper & binary rifles on different occasions, but there seemed to be no impact on the G.mech.

Beam rifle Delta, you can shoot the Shield with 4 shots and you can take down the shields and go for a Headshot on the Grunt inside

Is better use a tank and shot him from the part where you arrive by the tunnel, I mean, almost always 80% of your team go for the same part, so you need to move the fast you can your tank (or if youre hurry wraith) for the tunnel. I know, you can kill the grunt with laser or delta breaking his visor but next 2 bosses are covered by about 120 enemies. So you’re in trouble if you go on foot or with poor ammo. I know they’re about 120 enemies because once I kill 101 in a row, they are like 110-115 crawlers and 6 soldiers (ghosts).
If you don’t have time and decide go with laser, delta, try to use a binary rifle next or white scar (but youll kill about 30% of total ebemies in the last part).
never use banshee inside the tunnel (2 hunters), is so annoying for your team and you can make them lost the match because banshee blocks the shots

I Used the Spartan Laser - Endgame, with damage boost, and was able to take it out with 2 or 3 shots, don’t remember how many, I still had 50% of the laser left.
we still had 2 minutes and some change left, but still failed. I couldn’t decide if I should REQ a vehicle, and went ahead on foot only to be ghosted.
with about 2 minutes left, I’m not sure what vehicle I could REQ - a tank would take too long before it gets to the fight; banshees, wasps are not useful at this stage. phaetons are too precious to bring out for just over a minute left of game play.

I recommend that you get a silver wraith and set your aim cursor higher then usual to reach out those two remaining boss. That way your taking out the Prometheans. Communication is vital. Speak to your teammates “hey guys we can win this if you guys get some tanks.” Tanks for the bosses wraith for the little guys.

I also recommend a Spitfire Plasma Pistol. Pea Shoot it and it can do decent damages on a grunt mech shields. It’s not the fastest but is effective if you don’t have high REQ’s available
