Apex Packs are basically random loot boxes. You get them for free every time you level up, but of course you can also buy them. So, how much do they cost? And what kind of rewards can we expect?

As a free-to-play game, Apex Legends naturally relies on cosmetics and microtransactions. That’s the trade-off we have to make in today’s gaming age. We can play almost anything, for free, but we have to expect to pay for it if we want to look cool. Sounds fair enough, actually. But unfortunately, you can’t just buy whatever you want from Apex Legends’ huge item catalog, because the store only has about 10 items at a time, and it doesn’t change supply daily either. No, for the vast majority of items you have to buy Apex Packs instead.

Today we’ll explain everything there is to know about Apex Packs. What are they? How do you get them? And are they even worth it?

What are Apex Packs?
Apex Packs are loot boxes that you can earn or buy in Apex Legends. When you open a pack in the main menu, an animation will begin, and you very the color of the pack you’re opening before it breaks open to reveal three cosmetics you’ve just “won”. The color of the Apex Pack will tell you what rarity it has, even before you see the items inside. Here are the different rarities of the packs:

• Blue Apex Pack: Rare
• Purple Apex Pack: Epic
• Golden Apex Pack: Legendary

Rare packs obviously give you less than epic packs, and epic packs give you less than legendary packs. So when you start the animation to open a pack and see golden rays of light, you’re in for a treat.

Basically, Apex Packs are the worst part about the item store because it’s nothing but gambling. Most of the time you get absolutely nothing exciting, but every once in a while you get rewarded with a legendary pack and really cool items.

How do you get Apex Packs?
You can buy Apex Packs directly or as part of a store bundle, but you also get free packs when you level up. In bundles, you usually get one or two packs along with premium items, and if you buy them directly, they cost 100 Apex coins ($1) per pack. If you don’t want to pay anything, you’ll get the following number of packs per level up:

Player level

• Level advancement to the next Apex Pack
• 1-20 With each level you earn one Apex pack
• 21-300 Every 2 levels you earn an apex pack
• 301-500 Every 5 levels you earn an apex pack
• 500+ No more free apex packs

Yes, the longer you play, the less packs you can earn, and eventually there will be no packs at all. Well, at least the game is free….

What rewards do you get in Apex Packs?
Theoretically, you can get any reward available in the game, even heirlooms, the most valuable items in the game. But most of the time it’s just a mirage pose, 15 crafting materials, and a reloading device or something similarly useless. Luckily, there’s a built-in system that ensures you only get a certain amount of crap. Every 30 packs you open, you’re guaranteed to get at least one legendary item. But aside from that one guaranteed legendary item, the odds of getting something good are as follows:.

What are the chances of getting Heirloom Shards?
The chance of getting Heirloom Shards from an Apex Pack is 1 in 500. Of course, a 0.02% chance sounds hopeless, but you really need to consider Heirlooms and Prestige Skins as the absolute endgame of cosmetics. Accordingly, heirloom shards can’t just be knocked out. It’s unfortunate that you can’t just buy them, but that’s obviously how EA keeps players buying Apex Packs..

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.
