How to Earn Legend Tokens and Unlock Characters Faster in Apex Legends
In Apex Legends , not the entire list of characters is available to the player by default. At first, a modest pool of 6 heroes is offered. The rest should be opened in the manner of the same League of Legends (which is remarkable, in both games playable characters are called legends) – through donation or in-game currency. And if with the first method no questions arise, then with the second it is not very clear at all how to earn this very currency (and which one).
We are helping to deal with this issue.
In-game currency in Apex Legends
To understand how to unlock a character, you first need to understand what kind of in-game currency is. Indeed, in fact, all new legends are bought, but this can be done not for any “money”. There are three types of currency in Apex:
- Precious metals – needed to buy cosmetic items (banners, skins, weapon skins, etc.). Obtainable in packs.
- Legend Tokens – needed to unlock characters and buy legendary skins for them. You can earn by leveling up.
- Apex Coins are a donation currency that can be used to purchase packs, characters, and legendary skins. You can get it for real money.
In other words, a new character can be touched by either a grind or a donation. In the first case, 12,000 tokens must be given, in the second – 750 coins. And since few people want to just give up and carry money for the opportunity to play for the next hero, we will concentrate on the first payment option.
How to Earn Legend Tokens
You will receive the first pack of tokens upon reaching level 4. For reaching each subsequent level, you will be given 600 units of virtual money.
It sounds, of course, impressive, but despite the fact that the new character will cost 12 thousand, it is a drop in the bucket. Through simple calculations, you can find out that for the first “additional” legend you will accumulate only at level 23 , and for the second – already at level 40. And this is only if you will not be distracted by the purchase of “cosmetics” for an already beloved hero.
How to Earn XP in Apex Legends
Let’s list the most effective ways to earn coins. Let’s omit the fact that a small bonus to experience is provided for the local battle pass – after all, not everyone is ready to donate.
Win matches …
Yes, it sounds, of course, a little mocking, especially at first. But for such heroism and XP will give decently. If you get into the top five squads, you will get 300 points, and if you win – as much as 900.
… or just survive
But this task is already a little easier. For every second you are alive, a “survival bonus” of 3 XP is added. So the best scoring strategy if you are unsure of your combat talents is to take your time and wait for the rest of the squads to kill each other.
Play with friends
While you are in a squad with friends, the game at the end of the match adds (albeit not the most generous) bonus to the experience gained for survival:
- 5% for one friend in the squad;
- 10% for two friends in the squad.
This will not save much time, but still better than nothing. After all, survival experience can be measured in the thousands.
In addition, for helping teammates, the entire squad receives a little experience:
- XP 25 for each successful resuscitation;
- 200 XP per respawn.
Get as many kills as possible
The higher your damage indicators and the higher the number on the kill counter, the more “exp” the game will give:
- for each kill – 50 XP;
- per unit of damage to opponents – 0.25 XP (that is, 1 XP for 4 units of damage).
Farming experience by shooting teammates will not work. XP is awarded only for damage done to enemy legends.
If you become the “leader of assassinations”, get additional experience for every second while this title is yours. And by eliminating the same killing machine, you will receive an additional 50 XP. Also, for killing the champion and the team where he was, an impressive 500 points are provided.
In addition, a good bonus is also provided for the first kill – the same 500 XP.
Complete challenges
The level rises if you complete daily and weekly tasks. If you close such peculiar quests, you will be able to get the next 600 tokens a little faster.
