Players loved Apex Legends’ Three Strikes LTM, so much so that developer Respawn brought the mode back almost immediately after it left the game. The match system, developed in FIFA 24 Coins tandem with the Post Malone crossover, essentially gave you three lives in the battle royale, as well as making some changes to speed up resuscitations.
Why was this mode loved so much? It’s complicated. But a part of it is the fact that casual Apex matches are so darn competitive these days. As the game approaches its fifth birthday, the skill ceiling is incredibly high and new players trying to have fun are often stomped by people with four-figure hour totals. Three Strikes was more forgiving – especially when combined with the change that gives respawning players their weapons and armour – and that played a big part in why it was so popular.
However, the more interesting thing is how quickly Respawn heard fan feedback and brought Three Strikes back to the game, albeit not permanently. In the past, it’s taken months or even years to bring popular modes back to the live-service game, in all likelihood thanks to busy schedules and long-term plans. When we’re already rotating through four different maps for casual matches and ranked, you know there’s a lot of content to cycle through before your favourite LTM appears again.
It certainly helped that Three Strikes worked smoothly off the bat. Some modes have major bugs, and others are scrapped completely because of game-breaking faults. Three Strikes was the perfect storm of FC 24 Coins for sale exciting gameplay and flawless execution.
