Apex Legends finally adding \u2018no fill\u2019 option for solo players Respawn Entertainment\/EAWith the release of the Chaos Theory patch on March 9, Apex Legends players will now have a \u2018no fill\u2019 option when queuing up for a game, finally giving solo players a chance to avoid teammates, albeit with a bit of a challenge. If you\u2019ve been craving for a way to play Apex Legends solo, without other players on your team dragging you down, then Respawn has finally addressed those wishes in the new event. Despite the developer\u2019s desire to keep Apex Legends a team-based game, they recognize the desire of some players not to have to worry about random teammates. In the Chaos Theory update on March 9, 2021, Respawn are finally adding a \u201cno-fill\u201d option to the matchmaking, which will allow players who want to play by themselves to jump in solo, similarly to how the feature works in other battle royale games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone. How does \u201cno fill\u201d work in Apex Legends? Activating the feature is pretty simple. An option to \u201cFill Teammates\u201d will be located above the game mode selection. With the box checked, the game will operate like normal, filling your squad with one or two more people depending on the game mode that you selected. If you don\u2019t have the \u201cFill Teammates\u201d option turned on, however, the game won\u2019t search for other players, and you\u2019ll be thrown into a match by yourself. Of course, you won\u2019t be going into some special \u201cno fill\u201d playlist either, instead you simple won\u2019t have other players on your team, meaning you\u2019ll still have to fight other squads full of however many players your current mode supports. Apex Legends \u201cno fill\u201d limitations While the addition of the \u201cno fill\u201d option will seemingly allow for new ways to play the game, Respawn also points out that there are some limitations in place for the option right now. The biggest one right now is the fact that matches can only have six \u201cno fill\u201d players in total. The developers said this was done in order to not \u201cgreatly disrupt\u2026the pacing of the game,\u201d something that\u2019s been a major concern for them for a while now.

Respawn gave some examples of why you might want to use no-fill: Focus on completing certain Daily and Weekly challenges – Warm up, drop hot, and get into lots of fights – Challenge yourself\u2014can you win a round of Duos alone? How about Trios? – Experience the latest lore teaser on your own – Explore the map and experiment with characters you haven\u2019t tried before; Take an opportunity to learn a bit more about the game at your own pace. – All in all, while this \u201cno fill\u201d option is a great addition, it\u2019s seemingly the best option that solo players will have. Just as recently as January 2021, Respawn said they wouldn\u2019t be adding a pure Solos mode into the game permanently as it negatively affected the title, so players will just have to live with this option for now. It\u2019s worth pointing out that anything regarding this feature can change any time, with Respawn tweaking it however they see fit, so don\u2019t be surprised if more restrictions or improvements get put in place as time goes on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
