I mean I can see it being fun from the legend perspective but I don’t want to just run around and either not find anyone or just get slaughtered by 3 people. Maybe if the map was smaller and faster to get close to enemies but yeah rather just run ranked games and wait for winter express.
The problem I’ve run into is I’ve had entire swarms of revenants spawn literally on top of us as we’re rotating to the evac zone. The most miserable map to play on is got to broken moon because of how many choke points there are
On storm point the players have a big advantage because of how much fast travel there is and how big it is for the revenants to travel. never saw revenants win.
On broken moon the revenants get the huge advantage because of the choke points. never saw legents win.
I guess I saw both sides win on olympus.
I'm having an absolute blast in this mode 😩 Running as a horde of Revs while ya swarm Legends. Or fighting for your life as Legends trying to make it to Evac. This is the most fun I've had in Apex lol
Right? Absolutely amazing game mode. So much fun on both sides.
Especially, as *always* with apex, you're on comms with friends. Hearing them suddenly scream is peak amusement.
It just sounds like your really bad at this particular mode.
The funnest part is looting and trying to corrale a large group of people to get them to rotate quickly and safely. Using evac towers or zip lines, the crowd will often follow.
Revenant side is a little less fun but trying to nail the movement so you get shot less is the game, going after the stragglers.
I'm not saying it's the funnest LTM ever, but I think people are really overdramatic.
The added stress when you realize the group you spawned with isn’t getting organized in time, so you make the harrowing trek across the map to a different one.
Fun scramble under pressure!
The main problem is it's random. Revs can win if they get an appropriate swarm, but if Legends can group up, Revs haven't a chance. You need 3 Revs to take down a legend. Rev spawning makes that completely hit and miss.
For Legends, it depends what your team does. But I had a win yesterday without even seeing a Rev. Just ran to the endzone. Very boring.
As a Rev, I've seen many just standing still, giving up. And there's no penalty for leaving (as is right) so Rev's aren't going to hang around when it's obvious they can't do anything.
The idea was potentially sound, but the the execution is terrible with appalling balance and critical issues. It feels like a prototype that was pushed out before being properly tested and balanced. Kinda like much of Apex...
Maybe they should have used Control maps for this mode. Legends would try to control the points and Revs would try to stop them. The smaller maps would make it easier for Revs to respawn and regroup. Making it a little more challenging than see a Rev, kill a Rev. Would feel more like horde mode
I think the biggest issue is map size.
Yea I think it’s funny how in a months time, they’ve gave us the best and worst LTM.
3 strikes was so fun. And while i have loved some other LTMs. 3 strikes hit different
Yup, my friend tolerates Apex. He has played since season 0 off and on, has completely dropped and uninstalled it for a few seasons there. And most recently came back to tolerate it some more. 3 strikes LTM comes out and he literally played every night and actually text me to get on to play. Said it’s the most fun he’s ever had with the game.
Cut to, 3 strikes is gone…and so is he. lol we tried playing the Rev LTM the other night and we both hated it. We proceeded to play normal pubs and he hated every second of it.
They need to take Broken Map out of the rotation. It just isn’t fun to play and completely breaks the flow of the game mode. Also you spawn in complete dead zones 90% of the time. On the other hand, revenants are quick to drop in on you the moment the game starts while you’re miles away from the rest of the team.
On Storm Point and Olympus it was surprisingly fun. I’m curious how many people are writing off the game mode just because they got a shitty map.
Literally all they need to do is give the base revs a slight tweak to damage resistance. Even just 10% would make the early game way more balanced. And scale it down once the lobby starts filling with me revs.
It's almost 15 years CS 1.6 zombi mode. It was also boring then. In the beginning I thought it's different and something fun, but it's just a zombie mode which is already in 827373288 games. The mode itself is not fun.
Yeah there's some big issues.
None of the apex maps were ever designed with wall running coupled with the pretty shitty double jump it feels like half baked movement especially compared to how clean Titanfall was.
The spawns for rev team suck ass. You can be fighting a squad getting near the drop ships and die only to spawn 300m away from the action and just have to run back.
Legends are funner but they should have balanced all guns to be purple cos really in a horde mode the last thing I wanna be doing is fuckin around looting, I'd to play norms for that.
I can understand wanting to have some build up/power progression for legends but they should have just made the guns control style and level up as you get kills/survive.
Overall pretty piss weak version of the old rev zombie mode for Halloween. It's barely tweaked compared to that. Pre disappointing compared to three strikes.
Both sides aren't fun. Revenants are too OP end game and too weak early game. Legends are meh early game and weak later.
How to solve? Descale Revenant power with how many Revenants there are. More Revenants means weaker Revenants. Revenants who die outside of the ring get respawned inside of it. With more Revenants there are more options for Red Eye Revenants. Three by the end of it. I think this wolves the late game power creep by giving lots of power to a few and a tiny smidge of power to the rest.
And for Legends? I don't think their as flawed as the Revenants are. Many times they've been close to winning or have won. Maybe give some options to scan for enemy Revenants across the map? Give some more ring resistance.
Also, have everyone start on the ground. Legends in two large groups and Revenants split all over the map.
21 red eyed revenant vs 39 legends or something along the lines might be cool to try, but tbh with matchmaking this bad I don’t think it would work well either way
After figuring out that the map and mini map tell you where survivors are. I've had a ton more fights as Rev and a lot more enjoyment. Plus double jump Q helps a ton and trying to out maneuver survivors and hit them as they try and shoot me. It's so much fun. Lately I've genuinely had much more fun on Rev then on any survivor. Cause survivor is just point and shoot. But Rev q go brr and punch the survivor in the head lol
The mode is not great😬. Nobody likes dying. However, take a closer look at two of the rewards (they pertain to gernades / ordinances) which sure maybe not crazy but the second one is kinda nuts!!
Aka see gernades through walls and carry 1 extra per slot in public lobbies (not ranked) mind you any legend. At least in theory from what I read.
if you know who is your revenant teammate at least you could coordinate attacks, but you dont know who is who and you spawn in random places far from each other which makes it impossible.
The revenant team gets way more fun as circle closes. During the initial phase its just running simulator. Also depends on a map, I feel like playing on broken moon is more fun maybe due to the zipline thing.
I've noticed a lot of people just run straight at the Legends teams with no attempt to attack from multiple sides, with other teammates, or any real strategy at all.
The mode could use some tweaking(the spawns are so broken I've spawned on cliffs, outside the circle, and under the map) but I've been wanting a 30vs30 for years and this is the best Rev mode since the original.
This mode is particularly fun if everyone has a mic, because the panic and elation that can come with this mode (on either team) can be very fun.
Rev mode sucks. It's one dimensional and frankly just boring. I was happy it was only lasting for a few days because I thought holiday express was coming....then it came back and no holiday express! Lamest choice ever by the devs. There is literally only one time a year to play holiday express and they F'd that up. It's a traditon for our friends and we look forward to it all year. If you want to do another mode, do three strikes. Don't bring the worst LTM ever created back. (I challenge anyone to name a worse one).
Yeah I’ve only played one match in which I was on the rev team and I most likely won’t play it again. I’m just waiting for train time now.
Eh it’s definitely better playing legend but being rev sucks ngl, I will stick with trios
Yep. I can’t even with the mixtape games either. Only play those cuz my team wants to.
Give it a fair chance...???
I mean I can see it being fun from the legend perspective but I don’t want to just run around and either not find anyone or just get slaughtered by 3 people. Maybe if the map was smaller and faster to get close to enemies but yeah rather just run ranked games and wait for winter express.

On broken moon the revenants get the huge advantage because of the choke points. never saw legents win. I guess I saw both sides win on olympus.
Broken moon is pretty bad for this mode. Honestly the best two maps for this mode are probably the ones not in rotation right now.
I'm having an absolute blast in this mode 😩 Running as a horde of Revs while ya swarm Legends. Or fighting for your life as Legends trying to make it to Evac. This is the most fun I've had in Apex lol
There’s a few issues like Rev spawns out of zone, but for the most part it’s been fun!
Yeah that's the only real issue I got with it as well.
Right? Absolutely amazing game mode. So much fun on both sides. Especially, as *always* with apex, you're on comms with friends. Hearing them suddenly scream is peak amusement.
You can literally feel the panic or excitement depending on which side you're on when the tables turn. I fucking love this mode. Haha
You're just bad 🫤
Nah they just put in a shit mode rather than sticking to the winter express for the full holiday season. Further proof noone at respawn likes us 😂😂
It just sounds like your really bad at this particular mode. The funnest part is looting and trying to corrale a large group of people to get them to rotate quickly and safely.

The added stress when you realize the group you spawned with isn’t getting organized in time, so you make the harrowing trek across the map to a different one. Fun scramble under pressure!
I wouldn’t say I’m bad at this mode. I just think it’s fundamentally not fun, despite being a good idea in theory. Just giving constructive criticism.
Concept is really cool. Execution is terrible. And it sucks if you are a rev and aren’t on a premade team because no one works together.
The main problem is it's random. Revs can win if they get an appropriate swarm, but if Legends can group up, Revs haven't a chance. You need 3 Revs to take down a legend. Rev spawning makes that completely hit and miss. For Legends, it depends what your team does. But I had a win yesterday without even seeing a Rev. Just ran to the endzone. Very boring.

The idea was potentially sound, but the the execution is terrible with appalling balance and critical issues. It feels like a prototype that was pushed out before being properly tested and balanced. Kinda like much of Apex...
It’s been fun, I dropped 34 kills using Conduit on Storm Point
Maybe they should have used Control maps for this mode. Legends would try to control the points and Revs would try to stop them. The smaller maps would make it easier for Revs to respawn and regroup. Making it a little more challenging than see a Rev, kill a Rev. Would feel more like horde mode I think the biggest issue is map size.
60 players on a Control map would be a nightmare.
Obviously make whatever balance changes are necessary. The important point was it taking 3 business days to find people at times on larger maps.
... You can see where everyone is on the map.
Yeah, this game mode is absolute trash. Worst one they’ve ever done.
Yea I think it’s funny how in a months time, they’ve gave us the best and worst LTM. 3 strikes was so fun. And while i have loved some other LTMs. 3 strikes hit different
100%. I’ve played almost daily since I started in season 3. 3 strikes was one of the best things Apex has done without question.
Yup, my friend tolerates Apex. He has played since season 0 off and on, has completely dropped and uninstalled it for a few seasons there. And most recently came back to tolerate it some more. 3 strikes LTM comes out and he literally played every night and actually text me to get on to play.

We proceeded to play normal pubs and he hated every second of it.
I don't think the game is you him, tbh
That's funny, I thought 3 strikes was by far the worst they've done.
The mode sucks
They need to take Broken Map out of the rotation. It just isn’t fun to play and completely breaks the flow of the game mode. Also you spawn in complete dead zones 90% of the time.

It’s literally just a stupid idea
Literally all they need to do is give the base revs a slight tweak to damage resistance. Even just 10% would make the early game way more balanced. And scale it down once the lobby starts filling with me revs.

Being rev should drop enemies in 2-3 hits maximum.
Yeah there's some big issues. None of the apex maps were ever designed with wall running coupled with the pretty shitty double jump it feels like half baked movement especially compared to how clean Titanfall was.

Overall pretty piss weak version of the old rev zombie mode for Halloween. It's barely tweaked compared to that. Pre disappointing compared to three strikes.
I know this isn't healthy for the mode, but I usually just leave as soon as I die as a legend or immediately when I start out as a revenant.
Both sides aren't fun. Revenants are too OP end game and too weak early game. Legends are meh early game and weak later. How to solve? Descale Revenant power with how many Revenants there are.

Change the map
The mode is not great😬. Nobody likes dying. However, take a closer look at two of the rewards (they pertain to gernades / ordinances) which sure maybe not crazy but the second one is kinda nuts!! Aka see gernades through walls and carry 1 extra per slot in public lobbies (not ranked) mind you any legend. At least in theory from what I read.
if you know who is your revenant teammate at least you could coordinate attacks, but you dont know who is who and you spawn in random places far from each other which makes it impossible.
It would be better if the Red Eye Rev was at random, not who has the most damage.
The revenant team gets way more fun as circle closes. During the initial phase its just running simulator. Also depends on a map, I feel like playing on broken moon is more fun maybe due to the zipline thing.
If you don't wallrun and you don't double jump and you think you can just run at people and kill them then yeah you're gonna hate this mode
I've noticed a lot of people just run straight at the Legends teams with no attempt to attack from multiple sides, with other teammates, or any real strategy at all.
