"Apex Legends" Battle Pass Guide
Sigbog is an avid gamer whose addiction spans PC and mobile titles. They love to break games down and pick them apart.
Battle Pass in Apex Legends
A Battle Pass features a track of rewards spread over 100 levels (with some bonus levels) that you unlock by grinding the game similar to an experience-based level except driven by 'Battle Pass points'. There is a free track as well as a premium track where you can pay to unlock a ton of extra rewards.
You can find the Battle Pass by clicking the 'Battle Pass' menu on in the top navigation bar on the main screen.
The Battle Pass costs 950 Apex Coins (about $9.50) but you can also a version for 2,800 Apex Coins that comes with the first 25 levels already unlocked for you.
Rewards Breakdown
The Battle Pass features a decent set of rewards, all in all including:
- 1000 Apex Coins (these can be put toward the next Battle Pass if you like)
- Apex’s first-ever 3-stage Reactive Legendary Weapon Skin (Havoc Rifle)
The 3-Stage reactive skin visually changes as you get kills within a match up to 3 times, 1 time per kill. There are 2 variations of this skin, one at level 100 (Silver Storm), and one at level 110 (Golden Idol) - Exclusive Epic Prowler Burst PDW weapon skin
- Legendary Apex Pack with Guaranteed Legendary (1 or more)
- Epic Apex Pack with Guaranteed Epic (1 or more)
- 5 standard Apex Packs
- 4 exclusive rare character skins (Octane, Lifeline, Mirage, and Wraith)
- 20 exclusive rare weapon skins
- 9 exclusive banner frames
- 9 exclusive intro quips
- 9 exclusive season stat trackers
- Exclusive badges and Battle Pass boosts
There are a few important things to note from this:
- You can go infinite with the Battle Pass, meaning buying a single one will get you enough Apex Coins to buy Season 2's Battle Pass
- Battle Pass gear cannot be crafted, and when unlocked will appear in your Armory with a Wild Frontier icon next to it, so if you want it, you have to get the Battle Pass.
- You can purchase the Battle Pass at any point and claim premium rewards you've already leveled past. You also do not level up faster with the Battle Pass so it's always equally a good deal to purchase the Battle Pass.
You can find a full rewards table at the bottom of this page.
Leveling Up
Leveling up your Battle Pass requires earning Battle Points. Doing this is fairly straightforward, and is generally the same as the experience you earn from regular gameplay. However, there are some oddities.
Each level takes 29,500 Battle Pass points. You earn Battle Points at the following rate:
- 1 Battle Pass point per 1 XP point earned from your match
- Certain bonus are re-applied including:
Playing with friends
First Kill of the Day - You can also get a Legend Bonus covered in the next section equal to the survival time XP you earn
For more details on how to level up and what influences how much experience you gain per match, check out my full guide on leveling.
Legend Bonus Battle Pass Points
You will receive bonus Battle Pass points each week by playing different Legends, allowing you to level up much faster. Each Legend has a bonus of 25,000 Battle Pass points that can be earned, which resets each week.
This is close to enough points for an additional level for each Legend. Each level takes 29,500 Battle Pass points, and each Legend gives a bonus of up to 25,000.
This works out to be about 2 to 2 and a half hours of gameplay per Legend to capitalize on this. Across 9 total Legends, you need to play roughly 18 hours per week to max out your bonus.
Battle Pass Points Grinding
To get into some extra math on how much grinding this pass takes, you need to consider a few things covering the amount you play over the season, the number of Legends you play per week, and your bonuses. I did some crunching and came up with some rough estimates:
- Level 50 - 1 character played 1 hour per day for the season
- Level 90 - 1 character played 2 hours per day for the season
- Level 100 - 2 characters played, 1 hour each per day, for the season
- Level 110 (The final unlock) - 3 characters played per week, 2 hours total per day with at least 2 hours on each character per week, for the season
Your performance and specific bonuses play into this quite a bit but very consistent play (meaning getting all your daily bonuses) as well as capitalize on at least a few Legends per week make your grind way easier. Playing with friends, plus having that amount increased with boost unlocks, will help you accelerate your progress as well. However, generally, it's safe to assume that 2 hours per day will get you to maximum level or potentially 1 and a half hours if you play efficiently, effectively, with friends.
