Apex Legends finally has a new level cap, coming with the Season 14 update. However, it’s not as simple as just increasing the number on your badge – see how the level cap increase works and how many Apex packs you can get . The original level cap of 100 quickly increased to 500 in Apex’s first year, and has remained there ever since. For much of that time, the most dedicated players have been clamoring for a much-needed raise. The new boost won’t actually take players higher than level 500, however, instead it works like a prestige system where you can pass levels multiple times.
What is the level cap in Apex Legends?
As of August 9th, the new cap is 2000 – but it will work as 500 levels, 4 times. Respawn is adding three more levels of 500 levels for you to finish, on top of the original 500 players could already complete. Each time you advance to a new tier, the color and design of your level badge will change to show what level you are. The colors are green with an Octane theme for tier 2, then blue with what appears to be a Lifeline theme for tier 3, then red for the final tier. It is not yet clear if the time to complete each 500 levels is the same for each level or if it gets progressively harder.
How many Apex Packs do you get from levels?
As new levels are added, players will be rewarded with more Apex Packs as they level up. The 1500 additional levels added (500×3) will provide a total of 345 additional packs. This means that the total number of packs you can earn from leveling up is 544 – more than the 500 required to guarantee an heirloom. Respawn Entertainment You can get players an heirloom simply by leveling up to a high level. So all players will now be guaranteed to unlock a relic if they spend enough time to unlock all the levels. Leveling up will also give players more Legend Tokens, which can be used to unlock Legends as well as some cosmetics. Also coming to Season 14 is the new Legend Vantage, as well as big changes to Kings Canyon..
