Looks like Apex Legends will not be getting a solos mode any time quickly

Apex Legends’ Old Ways occasion has begun, bringing with it Bloodhound’s Town Takeover on the World’s Edge map, in addition to the addition of a everlasting map rotation and duos. This shall be excellent news to a whole lot of Apex followers who like dropping right into a match with a trusty companion, however sadly it’s unhealthy information to those that have been hoping for a solos mode. It’s even worse information for you lone wolves really, as Respawn mentioned that solos “negatively impacted the game, especially when it came to new player retention” once they tried it out as a limited-time game mode.

“We’ve purposely designed Legends and their abilities to compliment teamplay and squad composition, but when played solo some Legend abilities become useless,” they mentioned in the Old Ways patch notes. “We’re still exploring ways to allow a solo experience, but for now grab a friend (or two) and jump into the arena.”

So, what are you able to look forward to finding within the enviornment this time round? Well, on the World’s Edge map there’s an space that’s been up to date for Bloodhound’s Town Takeover. You can get some excessive tier loot in there by finishing three Trials, all of which embody killing an rising variety of Prowlers – those big scary doggos data miners discovered a couple of weeks ago.

If I’ll provide a phrase of recommendation on dropping on this new location – be very cautious of the very fact these Trials happen inside a rocky mountain with a gap within the prime. I performed a bit final evening and that large hole is an open invitation for different squads to shoot down from above, or drop in on you after you’ve executed all of the arduous work preventing the Prowlers (which pack a imply punch).

As at all times there’s numerous new fairly cosmetics, most of that are Norse-themed to match with Bloodhound’s backstory (which you could find out all about within the newest Stories from the Outlands animation). You should purchase a few of these immediately by means of the occasion retailer with premium forex, and a few you possibly can earn by merely enjoying the game and finishing Old Ways challenges.

Apex’s Old Ways occasion is dwell now and runs till April 21st, however duos and map rotation are right here to remain. Patch notes with information on all this in addition to some new stability adjustments might be discovered over here.
