Rumor: Apex Legends Leak Points to Quads Mode, Other New Features

AnApex Legends leaker has claimed that Season 21 will introduce a quads mode, akimbo weapons, and more. The major update for Apex Legends is expected to release on or around May 7.

A previous leak revealedApex Legends' next character called Alter, who is also expected to be added in Season 21.

Osvaldatore also claimed that Season 21 will introduce akimbo versions of the P2020 and Mozambique, which will still take up one weapon slot and allow the user to carry an additional gun. The leaker said it's unclear whether attachments can be equipped to the akimbo versions of the pistol and shotgun.

The addition of a solos and quads mode comes as a surprise to some fans, asApex Legends has long been expected to stick to its usual three-player squads format going into the future.

This makes the potential return of a solos mode only months after that statement a bit surprising, so it's important to note that the new leaks are still unconfirmed.

Developer Respawn Entertainment previously added a solo mode toApex Legends as a limited-time offering back in 2019. While the mode gave the game a new pace and overall feeling, it also highlighted how
