Apex Legends getting Solo and Duo modes

So according to ApexUpdate who have scraped through the Apex Legends code have identified code which indicates the introduction of Solo and Duo modes within the game. With ranked play set to be announced soon, it makes sense to have this update as the push for tournaments and esports competitions will most likely need to have the Solo option in any case.

Awesome. Squads is only fun if you have friends online to coordinate with. The ping system doesn't work if your random team ignores it lol

[Darkwatchman]

In my experience across both PS4 and Xbox One, randoms generally do listen to my pings and they even help me out, pinging stuff they know i’d need and dropping ammo when I request it through the pinging system.

There will always be people that don’t play for the team in any game, but my experience with Apex has been the most positive I’ve had with randoms. I actually enjoy playing it without friends for several hours in one sitting because people actually are more helpful and considerate than many other multiplayer games I’ve played.

I've found the community great for the most part. One or two bad seeds but I've actually gotten a few wins with 2 random players too.

The ping system is excellent

Maybe I've just had some bad luck. I did manage to land some good teams yesterday and it was pretty great. Still excited for more modes though.

I'll stick to 3v3. You can tell the characters abilities we're balanced with a squad of three in mind, more fun this way

[Sgt_Slaughter]

There's nothing that says they can't balance it separately for Solo and Duo though.

[Relientk77]

Good I've been wanting to play duos. No offense to randoms lol

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

Sweet

[VerminSC]

Awesome! I am loving this game

[BenRC01]

When you're in a good team there's nothing like it, when your team decides to wonder off in different directions or just rob you blind and leave you dead, the game sucks.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

Good, you shouldn't be locked to Squads when you don't want to play with randoms that have a good chance of being awful.

[MetroidFREAK21]

Good. Playing only with one friend and a random vs two other friends who talk to each other, it can be quite maddening. Solos may seem fun. I do enjoy playing games solo from time to time. Not worried about ranked matches. I prefer casual fun vs sweating it out.

[NarutoFox]

So Duo mode is co-op mode? 2 vs 2?

[MetroidFREAK21]

I would imagine it would have groups of 30 squads of 2v2 yes

[sypher]

Honestly with the way classes work I'm not sure if its built for Solo play.

Unless of course they force everyone to play a single class, or create one specifically for Solo only.

My brother loves playing duo on black ops 4, said apex feels like a better game but is ruined by the 2 ransoms in his group.

This is a good improvement and was only time they'd do this sort of change.

[Bluemaster77]

Mechanically speaking, solos wont make much sense in this game.

[Bluemaster77]

4s shoulda have been the focus

[monkey602]

I play in a group of 4 and the three people squad haunts us. We take turns sitting out a game.

[Bluemaster77]

And it should NEVER be like that. 4 is pretty much a gaming standard

[DrumBeat]

That's awesome. We shouldn't HAVE to play with a squad.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Good! I dont like the forced odd team number of 3.

[BlackDoomAx]

The people who doesn't enjoy other people is too damn high !

[BlackDoomAx]

And I'm here, wishing they add a 4vs4 and 5vs5.
