Apex Legends developers respond to complaints that Battle Pass progress is too slow | Dexerto

Respawn Entertainment, developers of Apex Legends, reacted after players complained that it had taken too long to climb the ladder of the new Battle Pass season 1.

The launch of season 1 in Apex Legends, named "Wild Frontier", was highly anticipated, as players hoped to have new content, as well as a new reason to "crush" the game, thanks to the passport.

Like Fortnite, the Battle Pass in Apex Legends rewards players by giving them a new item each time they rank in the "levels", and this is done by gaining XP in play.

However, an Apex Legends developer did not hesitate to point out that this did not accurately reflect the time it took to prioritize the pass, explaining:

You did only half the work: / You suppose that XP / Hour is identical in the two progression tracks, which is not the case.
You get more XP / hour in Battle Pass as long as you exploit the XP bonus of the character.

The combat pass takes about 100 hours if you use the bonuses and get some decisive attacks here and there. This represents a little over an hour of game time per day.

For the average player taking advantage of BP bonuses, leveling Battle Pass 1-100 is faster than player level 1-100 of ~ 25 hours.

Season 1 should end in early June, which means that players who play a little each day should have enough time to rank most levels of Battle Pass.

The developer also explained that even if you had played very little in the matches, except that you simply survived, you earn 6XP per second when you are in play.

Therefore, if you want to reach level 100 of the Apex Legends Battle Pass, be prepared to spend almost as much time as necessary to reach level 100, less 25 hours or so.

You can also skip the first 25 levels by purchasing the Battle Pass Package option, but it will cost 2,800 Apex coins, instead of the standard 950 for the normal Battle Pass.
