Are you a fan of Solo mode?
I'm curious to see if people are a fan of Solo mode or not. Tell me about your experience with this mode
Forum Discussion
I don't mind if it wasn't that squad lobby is total garbage when you play with randoms
Solos isn't my cup of tea. I'm not saying remove it but I'd much prefer duos than solos, perhaps another event in the future? just think they way the game is geared with abilities, the map, the storm, the loot (to name a few) solos is just meh.
IMO Kings Canyon is too large for solos. Is still just as easily traversible but without a team to back you up/watch your back you are too vulnerable. Some abilities do still hold their own mind you and the 'preffered' legends seem somewhat more varied but other abilities have no place.
Tried one match solo, got my top 5, done......if I wanted to play PUBG/Fortnite/any other DM game I would.....
I'm enjoying solo's but it's definitely a different dynamic, gonna put this in a list of positives and negatives.
Positives -
- Better loot overall due to less clutter and more available loot for one person
- Easier to get a 4-8 kill game on the regular
- More 1v1 fighting, allows you to practise that side of things
- No random teammates to worry about
- Player choice of where to land
- Ring highlighted at the start of the game to persuade people to drop in a certain area and increase opportunities for fights
- Ability to choose whatever legend you want
- Shorter more fast paced gameplay
- Actually feels quite balanced
Negatives -
- More people playing defensively and camping to avoid being shot in the back
- I mean have you been shot in the back when you think you're being sneaky? Scares the living bejeezus out of you.
- No team support
- Much harder to loot up after a fight
- Some legends lose some of their utility
- Harder to get high kill games due to how fast everyone gets eliminated by other people
I know I've probably missed some things but that's what I can think of right now. There doesn't seem to be too much of a callout for balance which I think is a good thing. I don't think the game should be changed too much specially for solo's, it's a fun thing that people can do when they're playing alone, and it's a good way to practise without letting your team-down. It seems Respawn are open to it being in the game full-time as well, which I was against before, but after playing both modes since I don't think it would change the game dynamic too much.
i beat a few pathfinders and a few wraiths in fair fights. got around 25 kills in 2 days, top 5 around 9 times. i run into the odd hacker with walls so i like to put up my fences and let them ignore me.
its quite fun, solo mode is. i much prefer it to team mode.
in a fight in the open ground with a reliable weapon like devotion i can usually win by using two weapons. not always though sometimes they have honey badger like armor.
i have so much more fun with solo than teams its not even funny. i only play as wattson and once as pathfinder for the money.
if theres a heaven i think the apex legends game would be like solo mode.
i lost in small spaces to peacemakers and shifty fighters, or third partied after a fight. i usually lose to pathfinders who have better weapons or are too hard too shoot, or to wraiths who catch me at a bad time;
