As we approach June, we want to give you a heads-up on a fun in-game event coming next week, as well as just some of the first details on Season 2 Battle Pass.
The Hunt Begins . . . The Legendary Honored Prey R-301 skin and the Legendary Night Terror Wraith skin. Starting next Tuesday, we'll be kicking off a new event called The Legendary Hunt. This limited-time event will last two weeks, and with it brings all this to Kings Canyon: · Apex Elite Queue
· Legendary Hunt Challenge Rewards
· Double XP Weekend
· Battle Pass Bonus XP
· Legendary Hunt Store Skins
We'll have more details to share with you next week Tuesday, but for now, get ready for the hunt! First Details on Season 2 Battle Pass At 10:00 a.m. PST on Saturday, June 8, we'll be sharing some of the first details on Apex Legends Season 2 as part of our EA PLAY livestream. Today, we want to tell you about just a few of the high-level improvements you can expect from our second Battle Pass. So, without further ado, we'll let our Lead Product Manager, Lee Horn, tell you more. Take it away, Lee! Leeeeeee-RSPN here, with an update on Battle Pass Season 2. We've been listening to the community discussion regarding the Season 1 Battle Pass and have gotten a ton of great feedback from players. Today, we're excited to share just some of the changes and improvements you can expect with the Season 2 Battle Pass, so y'all can know that we're headed in the right direction. TL;DR on Just Some of the Coming Improvements
Daily/Weekly Challenges and Improving the Grind Starting in Season 2, you'll be able to complete a mix of Daily and Weekly Challenges to level up your Battle Pass. If you miss a few weeks or start late, your Weekly Challenges will still be around for you when you return, and you can complete them all at once. While we don't want to introduce wacky challenges that drastically warp the way you play the game, these challenges should provide some interesting variation from game-to-game. This means all players should feel more rapid Battle Pass progression and the journey will hopefully be more fun and interesting. Also, this addition should allow players who can only dedicate a few hours a week to the game to make a very deep cut into their Battle Pass progression. Moar Legendaries! We're adding three Legendary items to the Battle Pass and there will now be a Legendary item every 25 Battle Pass levels in the premium track, including at purchase (that's level 1, level 25, level 50, level 75, and level 100). Our goal is to have a nice balance of cool character exclusives and cosmetics for everyone (like weapon skins). The level 100 reward will be an evolving weapon skin with a special recolor version for those players who make it to level 110. New Cosmetic Types and No Badge or Stat Tracker Rewards on Premium Path We removed badges and basic stat trackers completely from the premium Battle Pass rewards track for Season 2. You'll still get a seasonal badge, but it'll be a single, evolving badge that won't take up any additional reward slots! We've kept seasonal win trackers in the free path, and they will all be earnable in the first 10 levels. You'll also be able to earn items from three new content categories in place of badges/trackers. We'll be revealing details about these categories closer to the launch of Season 2. Earn Enough Crafting Metals for a Legendary Item We're replacing the Voice Lines with Crafting Metal rewards. You'll now be able to earn enough Crafting Metals (1,200) to craft the Legendary item of your choosing. So, if there's an existing item you've been coveting, you'll be able to get it in Season 2. You can still get additional Crafting Metals from the various Apex Pack rewards in the Battle Pass as well. We have a lot more to tell you about what you can expect in Season 2, so make sure you tune into our livestream on Saturday, June 8 to hear what else we have in store. | |
