Twitch accidentally leaked the S14 LTMs

SPOILER ALERT FOR THE NEW SEASON 14 LTM!

Twitch did an oopsie by revealing the not just one, but two of the LTMs coming this season. The Twitch Rivals' schedule page happening in San Diego, California made a mistake of posting what the players attending will be playing which is Shadow Royale and Gun Game (details below). The event is scheduled to start on October 9, 2022 but this doesn't necesarrily mean that this is the date where CE starts but just a confirmation of the modes coming this season. It has then been removed and edited from the said schedule page ( https://schedule.twitchrivals.com/events/tcsd-apex-legends-YJMBB ).

Original post:

I've made a separate thread because we just got more info on the new mode. BTW, Control not arriving this season is not a spoiler since one of the devs have said that it's gonna be on break.

Collection Event LTM - GUN RUN (codename: FreeDM)

Description:  Four three-person squads compete against each other to rack up kills, switching weapons after each kill. The first team to score with the final (thrown) weapon wins. Advantages: A game mode with fewer risks and a more forgiving loop, allowing players to practice their skills with different weapons in real combat situations with little downtime between skirmishes and respawns. Opportunities: "Gun Game" is the third most desired new mode by both active and inactive players, and Apex's shot feedback is the number one comfort factor.

Thoughts on the new mode? Would you prefer this or Control?

    Sounds good.  What I'd most prefer, and I have a feeling there are a lot that would agree with me, would be something like the 12 player FFA deathmatch like Ive seen played on R6 reloaded.  I'd love to have something that's solo play besides no fill, and true solo BR is not likely to ever appear.

    Only 2 teammates? Yeah, I see what's gonna happen here. As I've said before, at least with 8 randoms on Control, there's a higher chance of getting 1 or 2 who can actually do stuff. Sounds like it'll be one 3-stacking team galore, just dumping on the other teams of randoms. I'm gonna leave the game alot if SBMM is broken, I suspect.

    @Cheese9Man 

    I think @CCbathwater is kinda on to something here. I am not sure the SBMM will be able to properly balance this and I forsee a lot of matches where 2 teams will grief the third and the fourth sqd will be pot-shotting.

    I also am pretty sure spawn killing will be a thing, I mean they really did not address that issue at all with control.

    I also think that solo Q'ing in this format will not be good as I am pretty sure that if you are 3 stacking and many will, that the 3 stacks will rule the mode.

    I probably would have set it up to have been 2 squads of 3 to a side, so a 6v6 TDM.

    Of course when it comes out I will be def trying it out.

    @Cheese9Man I can dig it. I always liked playing Gun Game on older CoD games, so I'll definitely give it a go. I've only ever played free-for-all Gun Game though, so the team aspect will be a nice little twist. I like variety, so I'm down for this, as long as Control comes back eventually, Lol
