FFA free for all mode

This MUST have been suggested already, but there should be a second game mode that's a free-for-all (FFA). I'm not sure how much development and time this would take to get underway, so I'm taking the magic wand approach and making as many wishes as I want.

Here is a list of features I'm proposing:

Game feel:

1. It's endless (or, matches last a very long time and you can join games in progress; new players are dropped in like they're respawning).

2. When a player leaves, their kill total and damage total are announced, almost as an accolade for participation.

3. No knocked-down mode.

4. Respawn points throughout map.

Arena:

5. The arena is one, two or three adjacent subzones of King's Canyon, and the rest of the map is locked off by the wall of death. 

6. The arena's subzone(s) change on a rotation to keep the game mode fresh and attracting / dissuading players who do / don't like the Swamps area (for example).

Legends:

7. Legends' tactical and ultimate abilities are limited (longer cooldown timers).

8. A Legend is chosen for you, because 25 Gibraltars isn't a good idea (THROWIN SOME COVAH FOR MY BRUDAS).

9. You can petition for a change of Legend in an in-game menu; if the player with that Legend leaves, you'll have a chance to be switched to that Legend.

Weapons / Loot:

10. Loot is obtained via supply bins, of which there are plenty.

11. Once opened, supply bins run a randomized timer (say, between 3 and 8 minutes) before they close again (or, more realistically, respawn) and are replete with loot.

12. Spawn rate of some items would need to be altered (eg. no Ultimate Accelerants, more ammo).

  • Not the concept of the game.
    It goes against the legend system.
    Perhaps you should stick to solo games like Fortnite and Pubg?

    Never played PubG, but I did play one game of Fortnite on console. I stood around behind a wall someone built until my team won, so I can't say I had a bad time. I think I even scored a kill near a river.

    The original concept of the game has very little to do with my interest in a FFA mode. The FFA is supposed to be an alternative to the limited gameplay variety that Apex Legends offers (unless you count purchasing cosmetics and collecting items a core feature of the AL gaming experience!).

    I'd like to see a casual game mode that focuses on the (admittedly mediocre) gun play; and one that places little concern on winning or placing highly, since you cannot win the FFA (in my proposal, at least).

    The concept of the game is to be successfull and make money for respawn, its great right now for all those people who have a 3 man team 24/7, but for those who do not, the solution is not to tell us to go play H1Z1, Fortnite or Pubg.

    But to have us also invest in this game, your ability to que squads is by no means impacted if they add solo's, except for the fact that you will be facing more pre-made squads instead of Ranbo squads when they add solo.

    So I guess it will inpact your ability to win matches.
