Orientation matches were added to Apex Legends with Season 16 on February 14. These matches are designed to give you a bit of an easier time learning how to play a real match of Apex.

Once you've completed the game's tutorial, you can load up an orientation match. This option will be available to you on the game's menu.

You can queue up for an orientation match in the same way you'd queue up for a regular match. However, the big difference is that most of the squads you'll encounter are filled with AI bots. This means you won't have to worry about dealing with other players all the time, and you can learn the game in a less stressful environment.

Apex Legends: How To Complete Orientation Matches

To complete your orientation matches, you just need to come first in a game or place in the top five a few separate times.

If you can win a match, you're probably in a position where you can do well in a regular match too. After all, orientation matches do feature real players, just not as many of them. 

Placing top five also shows you know what you're doing to some degree, especially if you can do it multiple times. Once you do, you'll be good to move on to regular matches.

Overall, orientation matches provide a good way for players to learn how to play in a match, making the game a bit more accessible for new players.
