[Tips] First Strike Commendation Tiers

As referenced in our company bio, the first strike commendations are going to be the last ones we unlock. This makes first strike medals the number one most important thing we could earn in a match. Something to keep in mind is that if playing breakout, one can only earn a first strike medal for the first round, not every round after. In most cases one of the first fights on the map in Arena occurs at one of the power weapons, for Warzone likely near the central capture point such as the monument or spire. Lately it seems teams have often been rushing the first capture point of the opposing team using a mongoose, especially on Raid on Apex 7 and Escape from ARC. Below are the tiers for this commendation, in order to unlock the Achilles armor we'll need to surpass level 3 and for the helmet level 5. The values for each level are separate and not cumulative as reflected in the total numbers we'll need at the bottom.

1. 750 First Strike Medals
2. 1500 First Strike Medals
3. 2250 First Strike Medals
4. 3600 First Strike Medals
5. 7275 First Strike Medals
