Hi everyone,
I would love it if Apex had a new game mode. This goes back to what was done in Unreal Tournament, where you could set up your own servers with small mods that tweaked the gameplay a little, called "mutators". You could have as many as you wanted at the same time, and this variety made the game extremely fun to play, even if playing on servers with mutators wasn't exactly "pro". So the game mode I suggest would basically be normal BR, but with a random selection of gameplay tuning features. I've grouped them into a few sets. Obviously some break the game more than others, so e.g. "no armor" would have a very small chance of being selected. Maybe 2-5 or so mods could be active during any game. Due to the way this affects gameplay, show the icons for those mods before the character selection screen - so that people can choose their classes in an informed manner!
Map pacing:
- round length: normal, -10%, -25%, -50%
- zone damage: normal, +25%, +50%, +100%
- game speed: -10% (almost like pubg but that's -50%), normal, +25%, +50%
- more/less care packages
- staying in one spot for too long starts damaging you like in a zone. You get a meter of how much distance you've traveled over the last 60 seconds without shooting (punching not allowed) and if it goes low you start taking damage.
- no doors
- all supply crates start open
- when the ring starts closing after round 1, all guns and armor not in inventory or in a death box are destroyed. You can only get guns and armor by fragging other people!
Items:
- only tier 3 and above items
- only tier 1 and 2 items
- no armor on/off
- everyone has quick heal
- only light/heavy/energy/shotgun weapons
- only gold weapons
- heavy weapons come with purple mag
- light weapons come with purple mag
- devotion/havoc come with turbo
- no grenades
- no weapons, grenades only, infinite grenades with cooldown (1 grenade of each kind regens every 3 secs, up to 4 grenades of each type)
- only pistols
- only two weapons spawn: one ranged and one close range
- accelerant restores 100% ultimate
Legends:
- all legends: ultimate ability cooldown -10%, -25%, -50%
- mirage invisibility full (like past 1.2 patch) vs partial (before 1.2 patch)
- wraith "infinite" portals bug on/off
- thicc boy damage resistance buff on/off
- everyone has bloodhound passive (see tracks)
- everyone has octane passive (regen)
- everyone has pathfinder tactical (zipline)
- everyone has gibraltar aiming shield
Wild:
- low gravity
- everyone can res themselves at a nearby res point, chosen at random from 3 nearest res points. res points don't get used up.
- heal bunnyhopping allowed
- TF wall running allowed
- chibi mode :D tiny body + huge head. headshots not allowed. Instead, body shots do extra damage, like headshots. Helmet and armor function is swapped. Helmet icon is much bigger (sticks out of the item slot), body armor icon is tiny.
I would love to know what everyone thinks of this. This mod would be just for fun games, for the lolz, memes, and fun videos. Not entirely serious. If you're bored with the main game, try this out for a twist. Any ideas about what other mods could be fun?
I suggest naming this mode "Wildcard". It could open with some of the legends at a cafe table playing cards, and Mirage deals cards, and the cards that show up are the mods that take effect in the game.

Well put together post there with some excellent suggestions!
The idea about toggling some aspects of game play in each lobby also reminds me of GTAV where there is a fair bit of customisation in the game modes. It would be great for Halloween and Christmas events where you can toggle weather and night and day.

I was referring to the way the server parameters can be changed for custom games. But I like just about everything about the GTAV mini games or whatever those games all over the map are called. I last played GTAV when there was some kind of destruction derby when the arena opened. I gave up on GTAV because of cheating but also the immense grind.

@warslag Ah, cool, thanks! How could those parameters be tuned? I don't see much info about those online.

BTW, i think also this mod would be fun for pacing: when the ring starts closing after round 1, all guns and armor not in inventory or in a death box are destroyed. You can only get guns and armor by fragging other people!
