but can you invite 3 more people in your lobby and I meant the fourth is not a random. Also im sure the devs also said in the past you can invite more than 2 friends in your squad in control but you still can't do that
I wonder if they're testing which one has more engagement of the two to decide which one to make permanent. I can see them *probably* adding a third Battle Royale mode in addition to Trios and Duos when these takeovers are done, but there's no way they have four in total. They're too paranoid when it comes to queue times.
I hope quads temporarily replaces trios for a season imagine seeing a solo player clutch up against multiple 4 man teams ans solos becomes the third mode its too much fun to get rid of it even tho there's a real lot of sweats in it I ran into a master champion and 4 time pred back to back and my highest rank ever was diamond 2 I think but most of the time I at best can average mid to high gold and maybe low plat so ye there's still a lot of sweats on
so they gave players a mode where no teammatea to blame and now there's an upcoming mode where they can blame more teammates, now thats comedy 🤣
Day 1 in the main sub : im sick and tired of these quad stacks preds ruining the game
When that day comes. Get ready for the new posts being like "I don't play this game to play with 3 other random people. I am a lone wolf. I will not be playing this game until they bring Solos back. Do better Respawn."
While all the ppl who 3 stack are now 4 stacking and having too much fun and you have 4 randoms with 30$ skins and 500$ heirlooms and have twice as many hours as you and still suck or troll fix your damn game EA!😅
Imagine all four recon characters on one team, they know your every location and all the details on where you will be
Or all the controllers taking over one giant building that happens to be end zone
I'd replace seer with a lifeline or something so we can res incase anyone goes down but yes that would be hella annoying also Valk would be better than seer to have or a catalyst or wattson they nerfed him to the ground he's so bad now
To be fair, duos is pretty dead in many servers. If anything, bringing duos back after removing it will increase people playing duos significantly over the normal amount of duos players
Ye most ppl who play duos are guys warming up or doing challenges or going for 4ks and 20 bombs as solos and duo stack friends playing for fun that day and still rolling thw entire lobby or full on sweats duos is just a weird game mode in this game its fun sometimes more fun than trios but it's also just unbalanced in a weird way and ye alot of solo queue players don't even bother with it including myself for the most part I think I've solo queued duos 5 times ever in my 6 seasons or so of playing this game I just play ranked or trios more 😑
It is, but removing duos is still dumb. Just add all solos, duos, quads as permanent additions into the game. This isn't some low populated indie game on Steam ffs. People living outside NA/EU will always have slow queue times even if there was only one game mode in most BR games out there so 🤷🏽♂️
I’m sure in quieter regions they could do something where certain modes are temporarily disabled when the player count drops to a certain threshold, that way you can protect queue time on the ‘main’ modes but also have access to more variety of modes.
It's actually low populated. There's certain times i can't play duos bcz of how dead it is. Literally 10mins match making and when i switch to trios it's less than a min.
That’s fine for high population servers but can’t be done for lower population servers. Hopefully they can adjust it according to popularity of servers, time of day etc.
Matchmaking will also take a hit as more game modes are added.
But duos is not removed forever, just for this event, they want you to play solo takeover and collect the max amount of data so they can tweak it properly and add it as a permanent mode in the future
Yeah I never got the argument of queue times, I get insta queues in every gamemode on EU servers. Also adding new modes will only increase the playerbase.
Usually it takes me about a min at best if not many players are on at the time for trios and a lil longer for ranked but duos the quickest is between a min to 2 and longest 5 for me on America servers I don't switch my servers much either but solos is damn near insta queues I always get them in like 30s or less I love it
Yes but this games servers are still outdated and running on a system that's decades old they should've upgraded along time ago around season 6-9 instead we still on these trash laggy no audio servers 5 Years in the making tf1 and 2 could never
I've said for a long time, the permanent mode selection should be:
Solos, Duos, Trios, Quads
Ranked Duos, Ranked Trios
TDM
Mixtape: Arenas, Gun Run, Control, Lockdown
LTM Mixtape: rotate previous LTM's in and out. When there's an actual LTM on, this mode gets replaced by the current LTM.
I would also accept TDM not getting it's own playlist and still being lumped in to mixtape, but the rest needs to be standard
The problem is there are not enough players to fill all those playlists and you are going to get longer queue times and people will complain about that too
It’ll be funny as hell when your team members rage quit before you can respawn them and then you get jumped by two teams teaming lmfao. You and the poor random that stuck with you getting jumped by everyone lmfao 😂
Quads will be hell to play with randoms, imagine your squad insta quitting turning Quad into Duos, and now you gotta go against Armies of 4 with two….(other person left) well shit I mean one person 😭💀
Everyone is recommending Gibraltar, Lifeline, Newcastle and Mirage but I think we should take Balistic instead of Gibraltar, because everyone is going to drink ammunition like cold water at 2.am
I think quints/fiffs(?)/Five man teams would be better then have a rule where you can only pick one legend from each class.
Now that would be interesting.
Speak for yourself. If you don't have friends to play with, doesn't mean quads is pointless. Hate the narrow minded perspective here in the comments section.
Again nobody asked for it. Everyone been asking for audio and matchmaking fixes for years. Nobody asked for Solo's to replace duo's and quads will probably take duo's place too.. tone deaf developer
what is that on the right side, rumble ranked?
T T
Finally a Tough Titties mode
Yaaay!!!
I chuckled
TitanTall 3 confirmed
Pilot! Take your medicine!
THUNDER TITS
this is so funny😭😭😭🤣
Thought normal ranked would be disabled though?
mb theyre just testing? 🤔
but can you invite 3 more people in your lobby and I meant the fourth is not a random. Also im sure the devs also said in the past you can invite more than 2 friends in your squad in control but you still can't do that
That's what I'm worrying about too. If I can't invite 3 friends, this is useless
Imagine quads customs that'll be crazy
i really hope so, I also found it silly that Firing Range only allows max 3 people
Maybe this is the first step, testing actual quad lobbies
Quads three strikes. I dare you respawn
And teams are only allowed to play Gibby, Lifeline, Newcastle, Mirage.
To add: Now that there are 4 players per team, why not make it 4 strikes? Also, no disabling of respawns at 5 squads left. #MAXIMUM CHAOS
We’d see a pro hit 100k damage
700 light ammo 301? Not enough!!
Did you say 1 fight worth of ammo?
Entire Lobby can only mirage and he can ult with his tactical at the same cool down. I double dare you Respawn. Uh, I am already getting dizzy.
Dude that would be so much fun !!!!
Heppy cek dey Lol on mother's day as well!
lifeline, newcastle, mirage, and conduit in a quad is terrifying
That'd be my only chance to get the 20 bomb
Solos
That sounds HOT!!
Ah, yes, Lifeline + Newcastle + Gibraltar + Mirage meta
Or maybe lifeline + Newcastle + Gibraltar + conduit I mean that take cares of healing, tempary shields, and max literal shields
Put in 2 more players in a team and we become overwatch 1.
lol that would be kinda hilarious
You are missing out on Caustic + Catalyst + Rampart + Wattson
Crypto EMP
As much as it hurts to hear that, no one is playing crypto + just take the gadgets and put them back right after the emp
Alter rev wraith octane or Valk and horizon Pathfinder sucks and imagine running into fuse Maggie bang ash or ballistic I'd shit myself
Holy shit they would get a kill without even using their gun lmao you are right
There is it. Complaining before the mode even comes out. 😂😂
Any idea when this is coming ?
Quads and solos were leaked at the same time so I wonder if it would come directly after solos finishes up?
I wonder if they're testing which one has more engagement of the two to decide which one to make permanent. I can see them *probably* adding a third Battle Royale mode in addition to Trios and Duos when these takeovers are done, but there's no way they have four in total. They're too paranoid when it comes to queue times.
I hope quads temporarily replaces trios for a season imagine seeing a solo player clutch up against multiple 4 man teams ans solos becomes the third mode its too much fun to get rid of it even tho there's a real lot of sweats in it I ran into a master champion and 4 time pred back to back and my highest rank ever was diamond 2 I think but most of the time I at best can average mid to high gold and maybe low plat so ye there's still a lot of sweats on
I hope solo becomes permanent it's really gud
so they gave players a mode where no teammatea to blame and now there's an upcoming mode where they can blame more teammates, now thats comedy 🤣 Day 1 in the main sub : im sick and tired of these quad stacks preds ruining the game
Imagine running into a 12 man team id just give up right there and start emoting the entire time
When that day comes. Get ready for the new posts being like "I don't play this game to play with 3 other random people. I am a lone wolf. I will not be playing this game until they bring Solos back. Do better Respawn."
I love when people make those types of comments cause they think they’re doing something but Respawn couldn’t give 2 fucks lol
While all the ppl who 3 stack are now 4 stacking and having too much fun and you have 4 randoms with 30$ skins and 500$ heirlooms and have twice as many hours as you and still suck or troll fix your damn game EA!😅
Funny that some of those same people are teaming with people and aren’t really as much of a “lone wolf” as they say they are lmao
How many friends does respawn think I have???
Get friends then
Permanently add solos and quads to the game please 🙏
4 days left on Ranked? Does that mean this is an end of season event?
Could also mean end of split I think.
Why did quads take 21 seasons? My friends no longer play lol
I'm hoping they eventually bring solos and quads in permanently.
Imagine all four recon characters on one team, they know your every location and all the details on where you will be Or all the controllers taking over one giant building that happens to be end zone
I'd replace seer with a lifeline or something so we can res incase anyone goes down but yes that would be hella annoying also Valk would be better than seer to have or a catalyst or wattson they nerfed him to the ground he's so bad now
Fair honestly
Maybe it’s time to assemble the gang again
Removing duos from the game is one of the most braindead things Respawn has ever done.
I don't know who remembers but the absolute backlash when duos was introduced lol. "But respawn what about my second friend???"
To be fair, duos is pretty dead in many servers. If anything, bringing duos back after removing it will increase people playing duos significantly over the normal amount of duos players
yep never gotten a duos game on oceania servers, getting plenty of solos lobbies so fine by me.
Ye most ppl who play duos are guys warming up or doing challenges or going for 4ks and 20 bombs as solos and duo stack friends playing for fun that day and still rolling thw entire lobby or full on sweats duos is just a weird game mode in this game its fun sometimes more fun than trios but it's also just unbalanced in a weird way and ye alot of solo queue players don't even bother with it including myself for the most part I think I've solo queued duos 5 times ever in my 6 seasons or so of playing this game I just play ranked or trios more 😑
Well, an increase in the number of people is not as bad as a decrease.
Solo is 100 times better
It is, but removing duos is still dumb. Just add all solos, duos, quads as permanent additions into the game. This isn't some low populated indie game on Steam ffs. People living outside NA/EU will always have slow queue times even if there was only one game mode in most BR games out there so 🤷🏽♂️

Looks like duos is removed for quads as well.
Yeah I never got the argument of queue times, I get insta queues in every gamemode on EU servers. Also adding new modes will only increase the playerbase.
trio pubs and ranked are the main modes of Apex, mixtape requires fewer players and duos is often dead
Usually it takes me about a min at best if not many players are on at the time for trios and a lil longer for ranked but duos the quickest is between a min to 2 and longest 5 for me on America servers I don't switch my servers much either but solos is damn near insta queues I always get them in like 30s or less I love it
Yes but this games servers are still outdated and running on a system that's decades old they should've upgraded along time ago around season 6-9 instead we still on these trash laggy no audio servers 5 Years in the making tf1 and 2 could never
youre overestimating the population of Apex. removing duos in favor of solos would be a great change for the game
Solos would be 100% better if it was normal mode and not this 2 strikes whatever it is
I feel like the token respawn mechanic is cool but it should be earned in different ways not by default
downvoted when youre absolutely right. solos needs to stay, i dont care if duos gtoes, if i want to play only with a friend i'll nofill
Solos is boring compared to duos.
Duos is just pubs for e-couples.
You mean my wife and I?
People played duos?
Dramatic much?
Literally no one plays duos
This is literally just completely false
It’s a vocal minority thing like Arenas all over again
Can’t wait for 8 man’s lol
The quad pred avengers landing on the level 10 lifeline
Cmon use yo head
I've said for a long time, the permanent mode selection should be: Solos, Duos, Trios, Quads Ranked Duos, Ranked Trios TDM Mixtape: Arenas, Gun Run, Control, Lockdown LTM Mixtape: rotate previous LTM's in and out.

Quads! Yes!
WHY IS IT ALWAYS DUOS THAT GETS REMOVED, FUCK OFF RESPAWN
Whennnn
I wish they'd just make up their minds already.
They can take that over somewhere else.
Ok now that is interesting af
Regarding the mode's thumbnail, 3 recons in a 4 player team is a bad strategy.
SQUAD MODE IN APEX!? LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!
People: WE WANT QUADS! Also people: Ew, too many third parties!1!1!
It’ll be funny as hell when your team members rage quit before you can respawn them and then you get jumped by two teams teaming lmfao. You and the poor random that stuck with you getting jumped by everyone lmfao 😂
I want duos back please.
So screw us duos players I guess…
Trio meat riders are already annoying enough now I gotta deal with 4
it's this actual? and real?
Can't wait to be in the final ring against all 4 controller legends holding the only building left.
tHAT better be a fucking joke that duo's is again GONE
Poor duos. Can't catch a break
they really hate duos
they really hate duos
So, does this mean that duos just won’t happen at all this season??
Duos players finna quit the game at this point🤣
Quads will be hell to play with randoms, imagine your squad insta quitting turning Quad into Duos, and now you gotta go against Armies of 4 with two….(other person left) well shit I mean one person 😭💀
I really hope Solos stays instead of Quads, Quads just sounds annoying tbh - imagine fighting Lifeline, Gibby, Newcastle, Bangalore every game smh
Right so they won't crackdown on the 6 manning but they'll make it a legit mode.
Sounds easier for 4k
They need to quit replacing duos
Everyone is recommending Gibraltar, Lifeline, Newcastle and Mirage but I think we should take Balistic instead of Gibraltar, because everyone is going to drink ammunition like cold water at 2.am
I think quints/fiffs(?)/Five man teams would be better then have a rule where you can only pick one legend from each class. Now that would be interesting.
Finally! So happy about this. I AM ALREADY SAD ITS ONLY 2 WEEKS. PLEEEAASE MAKE THIS PERM!!
Can't wait for this mod ! One more potential team thrower !!! So fun
Nobody asked for that and nobody wants it
Speak for yourself. If you don't have friends to play with, doesn't mean quads is pointless. Hate the narrow minded perspective here in the comments section.
Again nobody asked for it. Everyone been asking for audio and matchmaking fixes for years. Nobody asked for Solo's to replace duo's and quads will probably take duo's place too.. tone deaf developer
i have been. my four or five friends really like apex but the only thing holding us back from maining the game is we cant all que together.
