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.
@Asmodeus566Map sizes are a little smaller and the rings move faster with the 10 teams of trios instead of 20. I think they start at like Ring 2 damage as well, but I'm not sure. Games typically take about the 10 minutes they advertise, so about half a normal trios game from start to finish.
You drop straight down into a POI from your team's own drop ship with one other team (most of the time) and their position is marked for you after a few seconds on the ground. There is also a loot tick right below the drop ship that has about 4 weapons in it and tons of kitted weapons in floor loot.
@hayhor I've found that people do rez you much more consistently because you don't have to retrieve banners first (your team is automatically gets them) and the loot is enhanced so there are mobile respawn beacons all over the place (almost guaranteed in support bins, especially if you need one since it is smart loot).
As said by others, the only issue can be scarcity of ammo in floor loot.
amen. this game mode is so fun.
