Duos

**Duos** (formerly named **Squads Duos** and **Duos Show**) is a gamemode that was introduced in Season 5 (Legacy). This mode places players into teams of two.

It was initially a temporary gamemode, and temporarily replaced Squads Show. However, player feedback caused Squads Show to be reinstated a few hours later, causing both to be available. It was then made as a permanent gamemode starting from 14 March 2022.

As of Season 2, with the introduction of "vaulted rounds", the full round pool is no longer used, and instead replaced with seasonal variants such as the Satellite Scramble Duos Show.

## Description

*Main article*: Squads Show#Rounds
Being a spin-off of Squads Show, the rounds in this mode are likely the same. For a breakdown of how scoring mechanics work, refer to the above article.

## Notes

* A new Fall Feed-style leaderboard was introduced with this playlist. In Race and Survival rounds, this will appear on the left. It can show a maximum of 7 entries.
	+ The first position team is always shown in yellow at the top, with a star on the left. If the team is not in the first position, it will show in pink, in the middle of the leaderboard. Other teams are shown in white, while teams that will be eliminated have a warning sign on the left.
* This show, like all other Squad modes since Season 6 (Legacy), is susceptible to a bug where all remaining teams will win if someone disconnects/leaves the game during a survival-based final. For more details, see here.

## Trivia

* Players cannot join Duos with parties larger than 2. This makes it the only show that cannot be joined with a party of 3, as well as the only one (alongside Trios Show) that cannot be joined with a party 4.
* On 27 October 2021, the participants count was reduced from 40-60 down to 32-40. There was no official word on why this change was made, but it was very likely that the player-base was too low at end of Season 5 (Legacy).
	+ This got reverted on 30 November 2021 (Season 6 (Legacy) launch)
* As of Season 1, this show was renamed to "Duos Show"
* As of 14 July 2022, all team rounds were added to the show. However, they got vaulted from this show as of Season 4.
	+ Pegwin Pursuit and Volleyfall (along with its final variant) were intentionally added into Duos as of Tool Up Update, despite both being TEAM games. Egg Scramble was also available in Duos during the Summer Breeze Update, however it required 6 players, which was making it extremely rare to get. This was changed, at the beginning of Fall Force Update, where the player count for Egg Scramble was reduced to 6-24 players, but soon enough, the round got vaulted due to a bug, in said update.
		- This could potentially mean Team rounds might be added back to Duos, if all of them get unvaulted.
* As of 20 July 2022, Airtime was added to the show.
* On 17 November 2022, a content update temporarily disabled Duos in order to fix a bug where the Silent's Memories event was not showing up properly for certain players.
* With the vaulting of Tip Toe in Season 3, the old show image was a misnomer as that round no longer appeared in the playlist during that season.
* On 27 September 2023, Egg Scramble was removed from the show due to an exploitable bug.
* On 7 December 2023, See Saw was temporarily removed due to an issue with the see-saws.
