When Apex Legends initially debuted, it carved a distinctive niche in the battle royale genre. Unlike other titles that featured a range of modes including solos, duos, trios, and quads, Respawn's creation focused solely on trios before eventually introducing a duo mode.
Naturally, the player community had been anticipating the introduction of a solo mode, but these hopes have yet to materialize. While methods like employing the "no fill" option in duos and trios offer a partial workaround, the desire for a dedicated solo mode persists as a prominent request.
As the curtain rises on Season 18, this topic once again took center stage during discussions with the developers. However, Respawn remains steadfast in their stance.
Respawn Firmly Rejects the Idea of a Solos Mode for Apex Legends
Around the launch of the new season, Respawn has been engaging in a comprehensive dialogue regarding the updates implemented in the battle royale. This ongoing conversation includes a dedicated Q&A session conducted with the game's subreddit community.
In the midst of inquiries about the Revenant Reborn and the evolving weapon meta, the perennial question about a potential solos mode resurfaced. As per the feedback from the Redditors who participated in the Q&A, Respawn reiterated that a solo mode is "not planned" for the battle royale. They further dismissed the possibility of integrating it into the Mixtape rotation.
This response is likely to disappoint a substantial segment of Apex players who have been ardently advocating for the inclusion of a solos mode over an extended period.
As has been observed, there exist methods to experience solo gameplay within the duos and trios modes by utilizing the "no-fill" option. However, this approach often results in players being outnumbered, rendering it far from ideal.
