With Apex Legends Champions Edition, new players can unlock tons of content and earn in-game currency from day one. Sounds good – but is it worth the price? Is Apex Legends Champions Edition Really Worth It?

If you’re just getting started with Apex Legends, it can be pretty overwhelming. As with most live service games, there are hundreds of different challenges and currencies to keep track of, and it’s also not that easy to determine which Legends are the best for a beginner. And even when you finally get started in a game: Where should you go? What weapons should you get? That alone is a lot, and then there are also literally tens of thousands of items you can collect.

Luckily, we can help you out with our guides and get you started. If you want to get a little head start right away, you can also just pick up the Apex Legends Champion Edition to unlock some decent starting items. In this article, we’ll try to answer the question, “Is the Champion Edition worth it?” As a new player, do you get enough bang for your buck here?

How much does the Champion Edition cost?
Here you can see how much the Champion Edition of Apex Legends costs:

USD

EUR GBP Comparable price in Apex Coins Comparable price in Apex Packs
Champion Edition 39,99 39,99 £31,99 4.000 40

Looking at the prices, you might think that it’s not that expensive, after all, full-price titles cost almost twice as much. However, keep in mind that we are comparing the price of the Champion Edition to the regular game, which is completely free. So is the Champion Edition content really worth the price?

What do we get in the Champion Edition?
The Champion Edition of Apex Legends unlocks 9 Legends, 3 weapon skins, 3 Legend skins, and 1,000 Apex coins. Legends can be unlocked for free in the normal game if you grind long enough, but unlocking nine legends definitely takes a while.

Apart from the coins, here is a list of all the items and legends:

Legends
Caustic
Mirage
Octane
Wattson
Crytpo
Revenant
Loba
Rampart
Horizon
Legends Skins

The Wraith skin (in the middle) is ugly as hell… But the Revenant and Crypto skins are pretty cool for it, so this part of the Champions Edition isn’t that bad.

Weapons Skins
The Sentinel is not one of the most popular weapons in the game, but we like the aesthetics:

VK-47 Flatline Skin
The Flatline is a great weapon that’s easy to find in the game, so this is a great value weapon skin. It also doesn’t hurt that it looks really damn cool

Triple Take Skin
Dia is an awesome looking skin, but unfortunately the weapon doesn’t get played much, so the skin is a bit useless.

Weapon Pendant
To round out the Champion Edition, you also get this weapon pendant. Nothing special, but quite fancy.

Is the Champion Edition of Apex Legends worth it?
If you were to buy all of the items I just mentioned individually, it would cost you about 10,000-12,000 Apex coins (€75-90). This means that, in theory, you’d get about a 50% discount on each item in the bundle. But the nine legendaries can all be unlocked by grinding and using free in-game currency, it would just take a lot of time. So the Champion Edition is worth it mostly for players who have enough money and want to avoid grinding, but if you have a lot of time to play, we wouldn’t recommend the Champions Edition. To be honest, there isn’t much else in the game to spend Legend Tokens on either. So if you play a lot, you’ll already have the Legends in your pocket anyway.

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.
