Apex Legends Solo Is Not The Best Idea, But Fans Forced It

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

Mela Lee might not be a voice actress you're immediately familiar with based purely on her name, but that doesn't mean you haven't heard her before. In addition to voicing everyone's favorite Apex Legends medic, Mela Lee recently took on the role of Jade in NetherRealm's Mortal Kombat

Upon learning about her parent's war profiteering, Lifeline decided to commit herself to help those in need by enlisting in the Frontier Corps. They're essentially the Peace Corps of the Apex Legends/ Titanfall universe and are an organization focused on aiding Frontier communities who are in desperate need of h

Now this is a creative character that would likely be more entertaining than Competitive Valkyrie Gameplay viable. Burglar’s Best Friend is always welcome for its mobility, while the rest is simply for getting the best loot to help

It almost seems as though each character was designed with solo play in mind, given that the only character with an ability that’s no longer useful at all in a Solos Mode is Lifeline. Though Lifeline will no longer be able to leverage the ability to quickly revive teammates, she still has a fast heal as part of her passive, which is extremely helpful as a solo pla

It’s fair to expect that non-Pathfinder solo players will use Pathfinder’s zip lines after the character has already laid them down. But, this is not always a strong strategy as the Pathfinder will frequently have an elevated line of sight that allows them shoot players who attempt to use these zip lines to ambush t

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

While this characters’ benefits are fairly obvious from a team play perspective, the question lingers as to how useful this Ultimate, when paired with the character’s Tactical Ability to build strings of low-damage stun fences, would be for a solo pla

Potential ideas include slowing down the regeneration of Pathfinder’s zip line, introducing a way to tear down the zip lines similar to the way players can break Wattson’s fences, or introducing a grapple gun-type tool in the environment that allows other characters to grapple a limited number of times. Wraith may be a bit tougher, but perhaps certain player attributes, such as Caustic's gas, can cause the character to still take damage while in the void. Of course, it's worth noting that players are likely to push back against such major nerfs to either of these favorite charact

Sometimes mobility is the most powerful mechanic in the game, and the ability to fly up on command to ambush an opponent seems too powerful. There would need to be a daily quest called "This isn't flying, this is falling with style", where you manage to eliminate a number of opponents from the air or shortly after land

While it is certainly not a completely new thing to add to a video game, Apex Legends is the first major Battle Royale game to add different characters with different abilities. Overwatch is a great example of how having characters with unique abilities can make a shooting game extremely fun while also adding layers of complexity. Apex Legends allows you to pick your role and synergize with teamma

Gibraltar already has one of the largest hitboxes in the game. This makes him much easier to hit than characters with smaller hitboxes, such as Wraith and Lifeline.
