If you’re looking for an awesome Wraith outfit or a fancy new R-301 skin, your only option is usually to wait for something good from the in-game store. There might be a good craftable skin here and there, but for that you need crafting materials, and lots of them if you want something decent. So what other options are there if we want to dust off some free skins?
If you’re already an EA Play member, you should know that you’re entitled to free cosmetics every month. And we’ll show you what EA Play subscribers can claim this month here!

Here are the rewards you can earn in Apex Legends this month if you have an EA Play subscription:
May 17 – June 13, 2022: The Shield Loading Screen
Yes, we admit it, this month is pretty lame for Apex Legends. Loading screens are probably the most useless cosmetics in the whole game.
How to redeem EA Play rewards
If you signed into Apex with the same EA account that has an active EA Play subscription, the rewards should be automatically added to your account. Unfortunately, this is often not the case, as you can see from the EA forum…. But don’t panic, just contact EA through this page and your rewards should show up in your account soon enough.
How much does EA Play cost?
EA Play costs £3.99 per month or £24.99 per year, but you can also opt for EA Play Pro, which gives you additional benefits as well as the Apex Legends rewards. Most noticeably, EA Play Pro gives you unlimited access to new releases. Here we have the prices for you:
Region | EA Play (per month) | EA Play (per year) | EA Play Pro (per month) | EA Play Pro (per year) |
United States (USD) | $4,99 | $29,99 | $14,99 | $99,99 |
United Kingdom (GBP) | £3,99 | £19,99 | £14,99 | £89,99 |
Europe (EUR) | €3,99 | €24,99 | €14,99 | €99,99 |
Australia (AUD) | $6,99 | $39,99 | $19,99 | $129,99 |
Is it worth it? We would say no, unless you play a lot of sports games. But that’s something everyone has to decide for themselves. The Game Pass is definitely the better deal here.
What is actually… “Apex Legends?
Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?
What is “Apex Legends” about?
Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.
- Genre: Battle Royale shooter
- Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.
At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.
To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.
Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.
Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.
How can I play Apex Legends?
Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.
Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.
In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.
The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.
Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).
Which technical terms should you know?
Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.
Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.
Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
