Apex Legends dev explains why they had to remove Duos to add Solos mode Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Season 21 marked the return of the Solos mode, but it has replaced Duos temporarily. Several questions were asked on why Respawn took this decision, so a dev has answered. Solo Takeover is one of the main highlights of Apex Legends Season 21, as it\u2019s the first time the mode has been added since Season 2, in August 2019. It was a surprising change from Respawn as they had previously shut down requests for a solo mode completely. However, now that Solos is back, it has replaced Duos for the first half of Season 21. The community at large thinks it was \u201can excellent decision\u201d to add Solos again \u2013 \u201cbut not at the cost of Duos.\u201d They raised multiple questions on a Reddit thread about why Respawn took this route instead of having all three game modes at once. To this, an Apex Legends dev has answered: \u201cQueue times can be a factor, but bringing it back in this way also allows for monitoring and data collection on this new variant and Solos as a whole,\u201d said community manager Amy Thiessen. Having three game modes at once means finding matches will take longer as the player base will be divided. Solos has been added after a long time and naturally, it will attract players more, perhaps leaving Duos in the lurch. Two modes at once also give devs enough data and time to monitor players\u2019 preferences and make decisions accordingly. \u201cWe see the comments and appreciate all of the feedback, and it does get shared with the team at large,\u201d the dev continued. Many players on social media have expressed that they are going to miss playing Duos, as some of them \u201cdon\u2019t want a random third,\u201d and think six weeks of Solos \u201cis way too long.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
