"On 8/13 we'll be trying out a Solos Mode in Apex Artifact Skins for a limited time," Jayfresh_Respawn, whose real name is Jay Frechette, posted on Reddit. "We'll talk more about Solos when it's live and you've had a chance to play it. For now we're going to put it out there and see what happens and what kind of feedback we g

Updated on May 26, 2024, by Prateek Pandey: With the introduction of Alter in Season 21, the game has seen drastic Legend meta changes. Alter’s tactical allows players to enter fortified buildings without triggering gas traps or getting caught in Wattson’s fences. Additionally, her Ultimate is a great safety net for players who like to play aggressively. The season update comes hot on the heels of the perk system update , which elevates a Legend’s Tactical and Ultimate abilities further. As such, players are bound to encounter teams utilizing unique playing styles and Legends to be the last one stand

Imagine being so addicted to getting an adrenaline rush that you think using a grenade to set a course record is a great idea. Octane did exactly that, and it resulted in him losing both of his legs. Luckily for him, he had friends capable of putting him back toget

It seems easy to imagine, then, that a random lobby would quickly become full of individual players who have all chosen the same one or two characters, knowing that these characters provide unmatched tactical advantages. And, going up against a lobby full of Wraiths and Pathfinders doesn’t seem like a fun prospect for someone playing a character like a Caustic, given that both Wraith’s phase and Pathfinder’s grapple make it easy for them to get away from Caustic's Nox

Bloodhound is known across the Outlands as a world-class tracker and hunter, so people know what they're in for when they come across them. In a culture centered around the type of blood sport that is the Apex Games, you know you're special if you stand out as the best of the b

When you're as mysterious as Bloodhound people will often try and make up their backstory for you in hopes of not feeling out of the loop. It's human nature to try and label things so it's no surprise Bloodhound has had numerous rumors about them hit the mas

With Ash’s ultimate allowing her to cross long distances quickly, it gels well with Octane’s jump pad ability and Pathfinder's Tactical. These characters can constantly use their abilities to move and gain elevation over unsuspecting teams. Pathfinder's capability to grapple can allow him to gain great elevated positioning, perfect for players who love to use snip

It also helps in building up an intimidating reputation if your hunting and tracking skills are the only things anyone knows about you. If they can't understand you, then there's a strong chance they won't know what to expect from

However, a Solos Mode is a curiosity in this game, given that the game has its genesis in team play. Team compositions seem designed to balance one another out (if not always effectively), allowing players to combine their characters’ unique skills to become champions of the arena. The goal in having multiple characters is that there is some variance on the battlefield, which is something that’s in jeopardy in a Solos M

"Wraith was the hardest character for me to find the focus on," he says in the video. "The voices in the head presented, like, a real problem because our game is a sci-fi game. It's not a fantasy… so it can't be, like, spiri

Octane's real name isn't just a play on the high-octane type of stunts he loves to perform, it's a play on his real first name. Octavio Silva, more widely known as Octane is a legend of Latino descent and helps diversify the Apex Games in several w

This makes sense because the drop from the Supply Ship or any other high area such as an out-of-bound mountaintop zone would take several moments, which explains the delay between the kill feed and the visual render

Bloodhound, the game’s mysterious gender non-binary tracker being, is arguably one of the most interesting characters in the entire _ Apex _ arena. However, their Tactical Ability is questionable for Solos, and their Ultimate Ability is simply not useful in this m

Bloodhound believes that destiny is already a carved out path, and because of that, they believe they're unstoppable until the day in which they shall pass on in death. It seems they have a real sense of purpose and mean

The game certainly has its share of technical issues, with one of the most frequent being its code:net and code:leaf server errors . But that’s not what’s happening here, either. In fact, in most of these cases, viewers are simply experiencing tricks of the eye. Though, in some cases, they might include minor lag issues or minor graphics rendering probl

To be clear, Solos Mode is an excellent solution to the problem of matching with sub-par random teammates when the only option is team play. Often, players find themselves matched with others who are lousy players, poor sports, or just generally to
