Apex Legends Pick Rates from Beginner to Pro

is well balanced, but not perfect. Some Legends are clearly better than others. Who does the community trust the most? Who are the most voted legends in the game?

Thanks to the mother of all leaks, we now know about a whole bunch of Legends coming to Apex in the future. We even know about some of their skins and heirlooms. But for now, let’s deal with the Legends we already have in the game, and we’ll answer the question of all questions: who is the most popular Legend in Apex?

What is the current pick rate in Apex Legends?
We’re going to break down the Legends by popularity into three categories: overall pick rate, Bronze pick rate, and Masters pick rate. This should give us an idea of which Legends are being picked because they are suitable for beginners or if the Legends are being picked because they are considered meta.

What is the overall pick rate?
Here you can see the overall pick rate for the legends and it’s pretty much what you would have guessed anyway.

Poor Rampart just hasn’t really gotten going yet, has she?

What is the pick rate in Bronze Rank?
Now here comes the pick rate for Bronze. That’s not to say that these legendaries aren’t for experienced players, they also seem to be the most accessible to new players.

Again, will Rampart ever get a turn? She’s actually pretty cool, and she’s one of the few legends whose backstory isn’t so incredibly depressing. Maybe she needs an upgrade.

And what are the pick rates at the Master rank?
The pick rates for the Master/Apex Predator players are coming up. These are the best players in the game, but unlike in the pro scene, they don’t always play with a full team. Therefore, there will be some good solo queue options near the top as well, which are not quite as popular at the highest level of play in the Esports scene.

Jeah! At last, Rampart is no longer at the absolute bottom of the pick rate. It is in second place with a gap of 0.1%.

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 .

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 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.
