How To Get The NEW Solo 20 Badge Before It Goes Away - Apex Legends Season 21
In the new season, the best way to get the new solo 20 elimination badge is to follow these six steps.

Bold of you to assume I can even get 3 kills😎

[@gabrielouimet5083]

Is anybody else only getting pred, 4k, 20 bomb, sweat lobbies. I can barely get 2k and my highest kills is 11 I literally can't play this game anymore

[@Olly241]

Yeh, and I haven't played in over a year. So glad I installed the game again..

[@spencerness6893]

Happened a ton when I first started playing solos. After the first couple dozen games, I started seeing significantly less. Went from dying to a pred at least once a game to only dying to a pred every 5-10 games.

[@BriefKeef]

Nope got about 4 solo wins so far its pretty easy

I forgot to mention that I'm playing on a XBOX ONE 🥲

[@ItsHearsay]

A 20 bomb is a 20 bomb. Still no small thing in a bot lobby. You don't have to play your best game, but you do have to play without making any mistakes. Nice job

[@mr.advocateseal]

Managed to get it yesterday! Took me all day but finally made it. Got carried by the Gold Alternator I found earlier on lol

[@PLUGZPLAYZ]

Just got mine today, I used rev and had prowler and purple re45 and I landed in the purple zone and finished w 21! Thanks for the guide! Cheers!

[@Brunggle]

Just got my 20 bomb on alter. This guide actually helped a lot thanks merchant

[@sparquisdesade]

Dude, that part about choosing a spot to land every game is so spot on. I'm super new so I don't know the map, but I stumbled on this crazy structure where you can drop in from the ceiling an land in what looks like a shopping mall. Tons of rooms with doors. Natural cover out the wazoo. And what's crazy to a newbie like me, the place is frickin littered with high end guns right from the start the last 3 games I've landed there. I now consider that place my home. lol

[@MarcAureIe]

I managed to do about 20 games between 17 and 19 kills, and 3 games above 20 here are my go-to : - On KC, land lab - On BM, land on new POI - On WE land Siphon & Rotate Fragment or opposite depending on the dropship direction - Play with fast TTK guns, I usually go prowler, hemlock, Lstar or Flatline, any combinaison of those (even prowler - prowler, hemlock hemlock...) : you need to be able to 1clip someone with 1 gun, swap to ur secondary to 1 clip a second opponent without reloading in some situations. - If an opponent keep running, fighting from distance, just leave, you'll be able to get more kills somewhere else in the same period of time - You can expect to get close to 20 kills if you manage to get close to 10 kills when there are about 25 players left, they go down extremely fast

[@_dashyy]

havoc and pk/mastiff/wingman is my go to. you are putting yourself at a huge disadvantage if you aren't running havoc, it's so busted.

[@MarcAureIe]

@@_dashyy I sometimes pick the havoc, but by the time it charges up I often have time to shoot 2 prowler bursts, dealing at least 120-130 dmg. I pick it if it has the turbo though

[@_dashyy]

@@MarcAureIe that’s fair but you gotta practice pre-charging it before the enemy is in your LOS. i’m so used to charging that the turbocharger throws me off whenever i use it 😂

[@yayforjoe]

I got a 17 yesterday and a 14 today, my friend had a heartbreaking 19 game and my other friend has had a 16 twice. We are getting SO CLOSE but need that one extra push

[@chriscraddock2867]

I need to know what time of day It was in that 20 bomb. Also, which region server you switched to. I need those lobbies occasionally.

[@livesinbin5830]

Funny thing happened to me whilst I was watching the first match. I got an ad for what was presumably some kind of crypto scam (or something very similar), skipped it, and then the video resumed to TGM saying “Crypto?” I found it very funny.

[@TheEagleIFD]

I love how you’re slowly turning into an absolute god at this game lol. Great video and very helpful tips!

[@wkndwarrior4733]

I had a bot lobby yesterday in trios and had an easy win. And then also in team death match. Had 17 kills and 3700 damage. That’s as close as I’m ever going to get. I agree with your thoughts, you deserve it. The game put you in the lobby, same way majority of people get the 20 bomb

[@wztdb]

Literally happened me yesterday, out of the blue I got put into a bot lobby. As you say it was really really obvious, managed to get the 20 kill badge which was cool

[@grayborden8039]

No I was close to first and great video again love you content

[@t2p433]

Broken moon purple containment zone is a great drop spot to leave with 7-10 kills, flatty & alternator or flatty mastiff, gotta die 5 times or so to get a good game.

[@victorpalacios5668]

Exactly what I wanted thank you good sir

[@MrHatch530]

Great video as always! GM You are one of the most entertaining streamers to watch. That happens every once in awhile for streamers, I don't seem to ever get put in a easier lobby. I always seem to be in pred 4K 20 bomb badge lobbies. Meanwhile, I've never been anything but gold. I'm a casual player and stuff like this makes it not fun. When you drop and get eviscerated in a minute, by some wall jumping 16-hour a day playing fool.

[@TheWunWhiteWolf]

The weapons I got all solos badges with were 301 for mid range and Havoc for close range. Lstar and Volt are good Havoc substitutes. I used Revenant so I could always re-position/ escape after each elimination. Hope these tips help!

[@kutoro4497]

I got it first try… it’s literally just rev ultimate while having 20 quick 1v1s. Also it unlocked the reg 20 bomb badge which was cool bc I got it for Newcastle bc I was meme-ing but ended up getting it first game.

[@iownstaticz8687]

I think caustic is rlly good i tried rev but his hitbox makes him a huge target but with caustic you can prevent third parties with his tac and ult

[@societyreborn33]

I have won several solos games but my high kill games i always lose to 3rd party. Discerning my way into finals circles w caustic has yielded 4 or 5 wins averaging 3-6 kills 600-1000 damage lol. Trying to blend the two better

[@ishydabest]

Thanks merch for the tips I'll make sure to use them because my highest was 17 kills and i never got a 20 so i got a chance

[@MathieuLonjaret]

Kudos to you for acknowledging you got it on "easy mode". it's a good thing you made a video with it nonetheless imho.

[@ethanboud1701]

lol it worked XD just hung around the middle of the next drop area (happened to be market) and cleaned up the game with 22 kills, thanks Merchant

[@Thegamingmerchant]

awesome! congrats!

[@gregsmith8977]

are you really good at the game or would you say that you're slightly above average? my highest kills this season is 13. I dropped a 20 last season, but it seems impossible this season in solos

[@Viperz]

got mine yesterday had 19 kills went against teamers and won with 21 :D Used the volt and the pk

[@adalix4058]

Cute pup bro

[@Dark_lightning72]

Nice

[@ray-zs9df]

None of my lobbies are filled keep going into a match with at least 40 people so it's basically brutal to go for the 20 kill badge at this rate but im just honestly having fun playing solos

[@etizzle915]

Wingman plus smg of your choice, i would go with volt or gold alternater ever since they turned the r99 into a pea shooter.

[@_ScarCrow]

Highest ive gotten was 16 when i died stupidly in 4 place, worst thing is if i didn’t choke it was definitely possible

[@jemarshaw4986]

A lot of people say vantage is a so cute legend and she plays very well in solos. She has movement a way to get height reposition, and then picks off people from a distance before she closes

[@theshnoz352]

My first game of the season i had 16 kills but got stuck on the wrong side of the mountain and died to the storm. Havent gotten anywhere close since

[@ourfragrancejourney3911]

Apex solos is the sweatiest mode I’ve played in any game. Everyone has perfect aim and doesn’t miss 😮

[@viiali]

I found it easier to get higher kill games in Solos than normal BR. Not getting overwhelmed against 2 or 3 enemies and automatic health regen + 2 lives per person certainly contribute to that.

[@okietokki]

Hi I don't know if you'll see this comment but I have a question. I watched of yours with how you use mouse wheel up on Rampart to take her walls down, and I've been using that keybind ever since, but with Alter if I to just slightly scroll wheel up to tap strafe I basically get rid of my ult. If you still use that keybind, how did you fix it?

[@Thegamingmerchant]

unfortunately you can't because the game uses that same keybind for all the character actions, you would have to remove it from the cfg when playing alter, I also have the same problem

[@okietokki]

@@Thegamingmerchant aww man that's really unfortunate. Anywho thanks for the reply!

[@dirty2662]

[@SBGames8]

Its true, I was getting mid games all day then my last game I got a 19 and the players were terrible.

[@Grapex12]

I got 20 kills on alter in my very first game of the season i dont know how but as soon as i got the first couple of kills i knew i got the bot lobby and went ahead anihilating everybody. It was also my first game after 2 or 3 weeks of break. I got lucky 😁

[@jelteghtc]

I got it yesterday and i dont consider myself a cracked player, my kd is like 1.3. Just kept getting sweat lobbies and it was just a random game where i didnt even intend to go for the 20k i was trying fot the top 10 with 10 legends challenge. Picked up 5 kills in countdown early game and 3 more in skyhook, rotated in towards frag and kept 3rd partying the people rotating into countdown from frag and ended up w the 20k. It unlocks the regular 20k badge and 4k (i got 3.7k) as well which is kinda weird imo

[@MarkAnthony-kz3uo]

I have been playing since pre-season and closest I’ve got was 17 kills, but that was 3 years ago 😓

[@jessossenkopp]

Step 1) Pick a crutch legend that grants you huge advantages like Horizon or Rev. Step 2) Read Step 1 again. Step 3) Lose 100-150 consecutive matches in a row with 0 kills and 0 damage. PS: I don’t want to hear anyone complaining about matchmaking because our high MMR lobbies are literally comprised of 60 4k 20 bomb players- this is basically the same composition as ranked Master/Pred lobbies- cheaters and all. So yeah, the fact that these lobbies exist means that at any given point and time, the bulk of average to lower tier players are being protected. You have a safe space to play. These safe spaces can lead to outcomes that match (or even exceed, go figure) players who are of a higher tier. TLDR: Don’t improve. Stay below average and you can actually win as frequently as people who are legitimately better than you. Heray for aggressive SBMM!

[@orixor3968]

I did it first game today. It was cool

[@vanhalenkingdom]

Hey gaming merchant! I just got a 3000+ damage solos game and it didn’t give me my badge for the event. Have you heard of this bug??? How frustrating

Hmm... saying that this was the first person to do a decent amount of damage (who was just 3rd partying him) while being lucky as hell that the fuse didn't kill him at 15:25... only the insta full heal of the kill saved his knuckleclustered a**... quite a delusion. 🙈

[@extraordinary6383]

Personally getting a 20 bomb in trios is harder than in solos due to more variables being at play but I respect your view

[@drakepublishing]

Help me out here, you elected a purple Mastiff over a Red Eva-8. Is this just preference, or is the Mastiff just better. I would have gone for the Eva because I assume it's better, but for me it's also a preference. I've always loved the Eva-8 since I started Mid-Season 5. Also, anyone know why it's called the Eva-8? I discovered what I think is the reason one day and it's not because it holds 8 rounds (I think it holds 8 rounds because of the other reason, or perhaps they named it the Eva-8 for both reason combined.)

[@alexmcgrath827]

I’ve hit 3 15 kill games and I’m at 500 kills with alter it’s just a matter of time until I get it. 💪

for me it's just not enough damage per shot to take it

[@CoffeeT0ffee]

bro- that wall bounce at the first match was so unfair

[@xXTheBigMatt94xX]

I was using shotguns and the wingman just to get a no reg that should kill the enemy with the last bullet, and it was costing me fights. The hit registration is the most broken it's been since season 2. For the sake of your own sanity, don't use shotguns until they fix the broken hit registration, or at least don't try to finish someone off with one. Use it first then try to kill them with a full auto gun so that the no regs don't matter as much and won't get you killed I even got a no reg with the Kraber in one fight that cost me the fight. It's probably the most infuriating thing about solo's for me
