Straight Shot has saved Apex for me, I quit in S17 because pubs match making is so terribly punishing to average players. Being able to play and have fun instead of being relentlessly humiliated by the top 5% of players has been a breath of fresh air to what was once my favourite game. I dread that when you take Straight Shot away I am just going to be forced out of the game again.Please extend Straight Shot for the whole season at least.

@NeonXXP For me straight shot is exactly what I want. 3v3 on drop, teams forced to spread out beyond that so you can find more fights afterward. Loot is great and it fixes the giant map issue.Once the ltm is gone I'll likely only play apex when Olympus is the map. And this likely means many days I won't even bother turning it on. If this mode was permanent I'd play daily.

@1ronKeys It is the current LTM that you can select to play in the game select menu like duos, trios, ranked, or mixtape, there is one labeled Straight shot. Straight shot is a min BR trio game, 10 teams of 3, you will be dropped in a poi near another team, weapons you find will be kitted at different levels , blue purp etc. When you get boxed after a few seconds your team automatically has your banner and can either use a respawn beacon or a mobile respawn becon to get you back in the game. You can also once the team is dead press a button to join the next match instead of going back to the lobby. It is BR on a smaller scale but fast paced. Good fun.

Also know now that final ring is very fast. And the other team didn't seem interested in fighting, despite me being on Wraith. Like I told my teammates "okay, they don't wanna fight, strange, guess Wraith wins the game for free then GG".

@1ronKeys A mode where you'll struggle to find ammo.@Asmodeus566 "When you get boxed after a few seconds your team automatically has your banner and can either use a respawn beacon or a mobile respawn becon to get you back in the game."Did not know that. I usually just leave. Doubt they're gonna respawn anything anyway.

@1ronKeys Have not paid attention to the map size but it feels like the teams are placed closer together and ring times work the map well to make it a faster paced BR game. Wins in this mode count towards your wins total as well as all other BR stats in this mode counting.

Please make Straight Shot permanent

BR pubs and ranked are great. So I disagree with you on that.

However the Straight Shot LTM as you suggest and I agree should be a permanent mode. It is just so so good.

@1ronKeys

As @CCbathwater said ammo is a bit problematic.

@CCbathwater

Glad that you know that now.

You may find that players will not risk the revive if it is risky and will wait for you to get boxed so that they can do the respawn.

Yes a lot of players will try to get you back in the game. Many even wait for you to get them back in, however there are some here and there that will leave.

@CCbathwater I've been respawned or respawned teammates and totally turned the initial fight around because you land with your guns and a stack of ammo.
