Apex Legends is a free-to-play game, and with games of this nature you should be well aware by now that there will be a variety of currencies available to earn and purchase. These currencies are used to unlock or craft certain cosmetics that can be found in the game. It is important to note that these cosmetics are COMPLETELY OPTIONAL and give no advantage to players in the game. It is nice if you want to make purchases to support the developers, but be careful with the random nature of the packs that can start to feel a bit like gambling and can be addictive to some.

Apex Coins are the main paid for currency in the game. What this means is that you'll need to purchase these with real money to obtain them. Now that the first Battle Pass has been announced, it looks like you will be able to earn some coins through leveling it up!

What Can You Purchase With Apex Coins?

The main thing you can purchase with Apex Coins is Apex Packs. These give you three different cosmetics from the huge pool of options. This is also the only way to get Crafting Metals that allow you to craft whatever skin or cosmetic you'd like.

The biggest thing people are looking for right now is the Wraith Heirloom. She is currently the only Legend with an Heirloom set right now, and it can only be obtained by opening Apex Packs. It's a pretty rare drop though, but on the bright side (?) you are guaranteed to open it within your first 500 Apex Packs.

Apex Coins can also be used to purchase specific skins that show up in the store. These aren't exclusive store skins, you can craft them with Crafting Metals, but this gives you an additional way to purchase them.

You can also see from the weapon skins, if you purchase a certain skin it unlocks the ability to purchase an alternate version of the skin with Legend Tokens. Those are the currency you earn by playing the game.

You also use the Apex Coins for purchasing a Season of the Battle Pass. Two options are available to you, the first one will cost you 950 Apex Coins and will unlock the standard Battle Pass. The second option is the Battle Pass Bundle which will set you back 2,800 Apex Coins. This bundle gives you the Battle Pass, but also unlocks your next 25 levels for the Season instantly!

Finally, you can also purchase Legends in the store. There are only two available at the moment: Caustic and Mirage. You don't have to use Apex Coins on them, because they are purchasable with Legend Tokens as well. Each Legend can be purchased for 750 Apex Coins.
