Apex Legends’ Gun Run LTM Might Be Even Better Than Control

thegamer.com:

Apex Legends Limited Time Modes can be hit and miss. I’m a big fan of the spooky vibes of the Halloween modes, which drop you into the battle royale maps at night and often see you wallrunning as undead Revenant creations or having a faithful hound at your side. Christmas brings good news too, as Winter Express’ frenetic action occurs on World’s Edge’s iconic, but sadly defunct, train. On the other hand, there’s War Games, during which half the modes were scrapped due to unforeseen technical difficulties, or Armed and Dangerous, which just ends up as a snipe-fest filled with Charge Rifles, one of the worst weapons in the game. Deja Loot might have been the worst of them all, encouraging the hottest drops and, therefore, the worst games.

The best LTM, in many peoples’ eyes, is Control. I was in this boat for a long time, as the capture-the-flag gameplay between two nine-person teams was something really different for Apex. The selection of great POIs to host the matches only heightened the experience, creating far more balanced and exciting matches than permanent game mode and constant comparison bait, Arenas. Arenas’ bespoke maps are brilliantly designed, but the 3v3 action has nothing on Control.

You might notice that I said I was in this boat. Yes, I’ve since jumped overboard the good ship Control, and paddled my way over to its sister vessel, Gun Run. You might think I’m just swimming to the newest, shiniest ship in Apex’s fleet, but I’ve got good reason.

The first reason is the POI selection. In battle royale matches, I don’t like to drop hot (I don’t drop completely cold either, I like a mild temperature in close proximity to the popular POIs).
