It's tdm meets BR. You can fight the entire game and still have a crazy end game. Easily the most fun I've had on Apex in awhile.

how can i be better by facing teams with cheaters tho ?what's the point in staying in a lobby like that?plus since the new mmr matchmaking doesn't work it always match you with 2 bots against them.

I do like this mode but my teammates still quit as soon as they're downed. Don't think people understand what this game mode is! Lol

I think people who play in a group probably have considerably more fun than people who solo queue. I took me over 2 hours to get the required 5 kills/assists even though I had many knocks. Never was able to finish the top 10 challenge in that time.On an unrelated note, has cheating increased exponentially or something? I take one season off and it seems like everyone and their brother are using macros.

As much as I dislike the mode I tried a few games yesterday playing as Conduit on the Olympus map where somehow in one of the games we made it down to the final 2 teams & lost, but the end stats revealed more as to what is wrong with the mode ;3200 damage,16 knocks/down opponents & 2 kills & I admit though the 2 random teammates on this occasion were really good players we had very little to show for it though other than a negative KR for me.Instant revives,a mode that should be renamed 'a 3rd party players paradise', bad loot layout across all maps & bad matchmaking do kind of ruin this mode tbh.Surely it would have been better for the mode to have the same old 'timed revive before eliminated' method instead of downed players languishing around until their teammates are also eliminated.For example I also encountered another match yesterday where I was downed in the storm but instead of either teammate reviving me they left me but when they survived the storm (they had to travel a fair distance) instead of engaging with the enemy they both decided to camp instead for what must have been for about 10 minutes with my downed carcass languishing in the storm with no hope of revival.You've also got other scenarios where you have random teammates who are either just non- compliant & replicate non-moving statues (because they aren't playing),teammates who randomly disconnect & teammates who frankly aren't team players & play more like they are John Rambo & go it alone with no thought in reviving teammates.In essence this isn't really a mode best equipped for the solo queuing players.

@hayhor wrote:@shtupurgnamakitI agree the way the badges require every challenge every day was a bad decision. But what do you think of the mode?I didn't care for it. It's too unbalanced, unfair and needed more modifiers like a shield and ammo cap etc. Every ring should have been as deadly as on 4 or 5. You just have too many squads in a ring the size of a cheerio.

Is 3 strikes the best mode ever released for this game?

@hayhor Personally I don't care for it at all. Just happy that you don't have to play it.

@hayhor Definitely looking forward to trying to play this one over the weekend. My hand is mostly healed up now, so I 'm hoping I can finally get back into some gaming in the next few days. Sounds like a pretty fun mode!

It is certainly fun but honestly I don't like the fact you can't finish off knocked enemies.

@Marge010 I had 2 randoms quit last night. Unfortunately people are so used to insta quiting they do it on accident.

@AcidicSoda44031 Yeah you kind of have to camp the knock to ensure you kill the teammates. It changes things a bit.

I might be in a minority but so far I don't particularly like it.
Every gunfight just boils into whoever will run out of ammo/heals or overpowers enemy first, which will not happen unless you're coordinating with your team.
And if you don't have any legend that is better at reviving (Lifeline for example) and you face a team that does have one, 9/10 times you'll lose that fight.
Also it might be just me but spamming revives doesn't feel fun to do or play against.
This mode really reminds me the TTK changes they did way back in a day (but instead of everyone being squishy everyone is tanky) which also might be one of the reasons why I don't enjoy this LTM.
Also leavers penalty is needed, even with 3 revives people leave when they get knocked.
I can see why people are liking it and im happy that others are enjoying it, so maybe with some more play time i'll change my mind but right now? Yeah...
