Solos, formerly known as Apex Solo, is a Limited Time Takeover introduced in 
Season 2's 
Iron Crown Collection Event as a Limited Time Mode.
Due to being a Takeover, Solos directly affects the 
Battle Royale mode rather than being in a separate mode selection.

Players
- Fifty Legends compete against each other.

Shield Core, four stacks of ammo for the weapon they died from, and a stack of ammo for the killer's secondary weapon. - If the killer has no secondary weapon, five stacks of ammo for their primary weapon are dropped instead.

Trivia
- Ever since Iron Crown ended, Respawn Entertainment developers have always been adamant on never bringing back Solos despite the huge amount of requests by the community, providing their reasons as to why the mode would never return in multiple interviews, with the most recent being roughly three months before the mode returned. The mode, however, finally returned in
Season 21 after an outstanding 1716 days hiatus.
- In the Season 21 Gameplay Trailer, Respawn's iconic "Solos Is Never Coming Back" claim is directly referenced.
Bugs
- Backpacks spawn, even if Legends are equipped with one as part of the mode's own Starter Kit.
- Extended Mags spawn, even if all weapons are Fully Kitted.
