Apex Legends players are begging for the Respawn devs to keep Season 20’s Straight Shot LTM, claiming the regular battle royale mode is “unplayable” in its current state.
Apex Legends Season 20 has been fairly well received by the community since its launch on February 13. Although the update didn’t bring anything major to EA’s battle royale, it was still packed with enough content to give Apex a breath of fresh air.
Some have gone as far as to say Season 20 is the “best yet” thanks to the few additions and major overhauls the patch contained.
Among the several additions to the game was the Straight Shot LTM, which players are desperate for the Respawn devs to keep around permanently.
Apex Legends players desperate for Straight Shot LTM to stay
In a Reddit thread posted on February 23, Apex Legends player ‘_clampgod’ pleaded with Respawn to keep Season 20’s LTM, explaining that regular public matches are “unplayable” if you’re on your own.
“Don’t remove straight shot. Pubs is unplayable solo!” the player wrote. “I’ve been playing since the game came out years ago and as a solo player the pubs experience has just gotten worse over time.”
They added: “It feels like Respawn is purposely trying to push you away from the game with how terrible the MM is. Please don’t remove straight shot!”

Judging by the replies to the post, it’s evident others feel the same way too, explaining their frustrating experiences playing just the normal battle royale mode. “Solo Pubs is trash,” said one.
They added: “Straight Shot so far is giving me a pretty balanced experience where I don’t wait too long for a fight… but is also not fully braindead.”
“Yeah Straight Shot is overall a great mode, I’m hoping it sticks around,” wrote another.
However, according to some players, both modes are “unplayable” if you’re solo. “Straight Shot and Pubs is unplayable Solo…I don’t think my teammates are even real. I played on both PC and console yesterday and its the same sh*t,” a player hit out.
Nevertheless, we’ll just have to wait and see if the devs listen to the community and keep the mode permanently.
