Apex Legends Launches Squad Recruitment Drive for Season 29 Split 2

Respawn has kicked off a Matchmaking Recruitment Drive for Split 2 of Season 29, giving solo players a structured way to find squadmates before dropping into the Outlands.

The recruitment thread asks players to share nine details: server region, platform, preferred mode (Ranked, Pubs, Wildcard, or Mixtape), current rank, typical play schedule, legend mains, drop style (hot drop vs. loot far out), playstyle (aggressive, balanced, passive, or final-ring focused), and preferred comms method (mic, pings, or chat). The idea is straightforward — post your profile, browse others, and link up with players whose habits actually match yours.

Apex has leaned on community threads like this before to patch over the friction of solo queuing, especially heading into a new split when rank resets shake up lobbies. Season 29 Split 2 also arrives alongside some recent housekeeping: a July 15 update fixed banners incorrectly appearing in Wildcard death boxes, though a known visual bug still has "SKIPPY" displaying mirrored on the Mythic Alternator skin. On the anti-cheat front, Respawn's team reported nearly 6,000 hardware bans across PC and console since the end of April — a signal that cheating carries consequences beyond a single banned account.

If you're grinding ranked this split and tired of random lobbies, the thread is live now on the Steam community hub. Drop your details, find your squad, and sort out comms before the next ring closes.
