Apex Legends players claim Season 20 is currently in its “prime” thanks to the Straight Shot LTM.

Season 20 was finally released for all on February 13, and while the update didn’t bring any major additions to the battle royale, it was still packed with enough content to give Apex Legends a breath of fresh air.

The Straight Shot LTM has stolen the spotlight for many so far. Players are desperate for the Season 20 LTM to stick around, claiming the regular battle royale is “unplayable” in its current state.

Nevertheless, players are claiming Straight Shot is the “best mode” ever added to Apex — with some even going as far as to say the game is in its “prime” solely because of the limited-time mode.

Apex players claim game is in its “prime” thanks to LTM

The Respawn devs have seen a ton of praise for Season 20 since its release, with some claiming it’s the “best yet.” Furthermore, in a Reddit post on February 25, some players claim the Straight Shot LTM makes the game feel like it’s in its “prime.”

“Straight Shot is the best mode ever implemented that truly makes you feel like you’re playing Apex in its prime,” one player wrote.

“What straight shot allows, is a very fair and instant fun first fight, that if you win, you then immediately still get that battle royale feel of choosing where to go, what POIs and events to hit, and as well and class structure truly mattering.”

“I don’t have to loot for 15 minutes, find a single squad, and then get steamrolled,” they explained.

The player added: “Time is the most important factor in everyone’s lives and straight shot utilizes it f**king well. Please Respawn, keep Straight Shot.”

In the replies to the post, tons of players agreed, with some explaining they get “lost” playing the LTM because of how fun it is. “I get lost in time playing Straight Shot. It’s just that much fun!” one player said.

“Straight Shot is awesome! Quick to get kitted guns and straight to the fight,” wrote another.

Others called for the devs to take the popular “requeue” feature from the LTM, and apply it to all modes across the battle.

While some are more fond of the Three Strikes mode that arrived with the Post Malone crossover, it’s fair to say Straight Shot has been exceptionally well received. However, we can only hope it stays around for good.
