Unbelievable Apex Legends Glitch Transforms Trios into Epic 8-Man Squads

Highlights

An Apex Legends player encountered a bug allowing an 8-player team in Trios mode, potentially giving them a huge advantage.

The community is buzzing about the glitch, leading to discussions regarding its source and the effect it has on competitive gameplay. Respawn Entertainment should consider addressing this bug promptly if it starts spreading widely, in order to preserve the integrity of the battle royale gaming experience.

During a game of Trios, a player in Apex Legends comes across a possible glitch that enables a team of eight players to enter the lobby. Although Apex Legends has had its fair share of peculiar glitches in the past, like giving characters incorrect abilities, encountering an eight-player team in a mode designed for squads of three would be incredibly intimidating.

Apex Legends offers multiple game modes, providing players with the freedom to choose the one that suits them best. The game includes battle royale modes specifically tailored for squads of two (Duos) and three (Trios). Additionally, players can partake in the Mixtape playlist, which features various multiplayer modes, as well as regularly occurring LTMs (Limited Time Modes) in Apex Legends. While rumors about Respawn Entertainment potentially adding a four-person battle royale mode have circulated before, a gamer has now stumbled upon a team twice the typical size within the current game.

The content shared on Reddit by a user named CTDThirteen depicted a screenshot of them spectating an opponent on Apex Legends' Broken Moon map. The image appeared normal except for the left side of the screen, which showed eight players on the user's team. The abundance of icons was so extensive that the timer partially concealed the uppermost icon. CTDThirteen, when posting the image, stated, "I encountered an 8-man squad on a normal game of trios."

Unsurprisingly, this peculiar glitch has garnered significant attention from the Apex Legends community. The post featuring the screenshot has received over 1.8K upvotes, with numerous individuals curious about the particulars of this unusual encounter. Commenters speculated whether this eight-man team was the result of a bug or cheating. While some proposed both possibilities, the prevailing belief was that it was an old bug reintroduced in Season 17 of Apex Legends. Alongside discussions on the origins of this massive team, some users expressed empathy for the unlucky pair left in the lobby, noting that the screenshot indicated only two squads remaining.

The discovery of this strange occurrence by CTDThirteen has created a significant buzz, which is quite understandable considering the disadvantage it would put other teams in. Apex Legends is a team-oriented game that heavily relies on the unique abilities of its Legends. The outcome of a battle often hinges on how well a team can coordinate these abilities, and having more characters on a team would naturally provide more opportunities for effective synergy. Moreover, if a squad were to consist of eight players, it would make it nearly impossible for the opposing team to win a gunfight.

It will be interesting to observe whether this bug emerges in future matches and how Respawn Entertainment will address the issue. Hopefully, this glitch remains rare so that it does not compromise the competitive integrity of the battle royale.

Apex Legends is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
