Apex Legends Players Spend Money On Loot Boxes: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Version vom 20. Februar 2026, 23:26 Uhr

Apex Legends  is available for free now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. For more on the game, you can read our full review  and our recent editorial going into what Apex Legends  needs to do to stand out  from the rest of the battle royale pack.


Why, many might wonder, would anyone pay the price of eight full-price AAA games on cosmetic items for a single free-to-play game? The answer isn't simple and could vary from player to player, but a solid start can be found in a number of gambling commissions' findings that loot boxes manipulate players' minds much in the same way games of chance do - in other words, their mechanics are almost identical to that of gambling. Combine that with Apex Legends ' steep drop-off in terms of Apex Packs earned through play rather than pay, and it makes at least some sense how one could find themselves in the hole over digital items with no real va


Redditor BAE339 shared their cautionary tale with the Apex Legends community on the game's subreddit, explaining that they were trying to snag the game's incredibly elusive Heirloom Set for Wraith, the void-jumping Legend who's grown notorious for being hard to shoot . So far, this is the only Heirloom Set offered in Apex Legends , meaning that Wraith mains - like BAE339 - are feeling the pressure to acquire her unique kunai melee weapon skin, banner pose, and intro quip before additional sets for other Legends lower their odds even further. Rationalizing their mounting number of purchases with publisher EA's guarantee of an Heirloom Set drop within every 500 Apex Packs bought, they quickly found themselves hitting the ceiling of that rule before finally acquiring the set on their 500th attempt. Expecting ridicule (and receiving a fair bit of it among an otherwise supportive response), BAE339 refle


According to Gaming INTEL , Prophet is set to join the battle royale brawler and will have the special ability of "Precognition." Although it's unclear what Precognition will actually do, a likely guess is the ability to foresee future events like where supply drops and loot caches are. A more interesting option could include letting a squad know where the final circle will be and allowing them to head there ahead of time. Up there with the likes of Gibraltar's Dome of Protection and Mirage's cloaking ability, Precognition sounds like a pretty handy ability to h


It's worth nothing that while Caustic and Gibraltar are both larger than Pathfinder, their hitboxes are actually tighter to their character model. Having characters with various sizes of hitboxes isn't imbalanced, as there is typically a trade-off for that increased exposure. For Pathfinder, though, it appears pretty clear that the Legend's hitboxes aren't functioning properly, which is likely why Respawn is going to fix the issue sooner rather than la


It's likely that not all of this content will make it into the live game. But, even if these datamined gems aren't sneak peeks, they're still an interesting look at the development process and where Apex Legends could have gone.

Nobody can say for sure if the rapper plans on competing in these leagues himself, acting as a coach or manager, or simply investing some funds in a team. He definitely seems avid about gaming culture, though, so it may be that he’s willing to go toe to toe with some of the world’s best battle royale players. Ninja recently won the first official Apex Legends tournament , of course, so he’ll be up against some stiff, experienced competit


Obviously, there's not a lot of detail here. Wattson appears to be a scientist and Octane may be a speed-based character, but it's too early to say anything for certain. Respawn has confirmed that they will be following Fortnite 's seasonal model, which means new content and new Legends every three months. With the first season set to kick off in March, we may be seeing these two quite s


Then again, these may be two characters who were scrapped and not entirely deleted from the game. Datamining isn't a sure thing. Games like Apex Legends have lots of files, and it's easy for stray code to get left behind from early development. One thing you can see from the screenshots is that both characters appear to have a wallrun ability, something that was removed from the game when developers gave up on making it a Titanfall battle royale . Does this mean wallrunning will return to the game with these new characters, is this code just remnants from an earlier development stage, or have these characters been around from the beginning but scheduled to launch with the first season? There's a lot of possibilit


What the redditor stresses most heavily is that they were and remain entirely cognizant of their poor odds and the manipulative nature of loot boxes, yet they still fell for Apexgamepulse.Com paying hundreds of dollars into a game that's otherwise completely free to enjoy. Clarifying that they've put "hours into Overwatch and Rocket League ," which each sport their own loot box-centric monetization models, without ever falling down this deep of a rabbit hole, they say that what drove them most was that their friends collected their own Heirloom Sets " in only a few crates " and " all the streamers have them ." Wanting players who also think themselves above the predatory model Apex Packs present, they conclude, " Don't be like m
