Apex Pack

**Apex Packs** are loot boxes that provide random cosmetic items. There are various types of Packs:

* **Apex Packs**, which by default are Rare, but Epic and Legendary ones may be offered in the Store or during Events;
* **Thematic Packs**, which contain at least one item for the Legend, weapon, or cosmetic type they are assigned to;
* **Collection Event Packs**, which contain at least one item from the Collection Event they come from;
* **Themed Event Packs**, which contain at least one item from the Themed Event they come from.

## Loot

The categories from which the items contained in the standard pool are pulled from are listed as following:

* Apex Legends
* Mobile

## Probability

A few things to note:

* Apex Packs do not drop duplicates. If an item already owned is chosen to drop again, it'll be converted in  Crafting Metals.
	+ A Common item converts to  15, a Rare to  30, an Epic to  200, and a Legendary to  600.
	+ If the case of  Collection Event Packs and  **Themed Event Packs**, if somehow all event items are owned before opening one, all the Pack contents will be replaced by an amount of  Coins equal to the Pack cost.
* There is no estimated chance for Rare items to drop, although they are logically rarer than Common items.
* Rare items not already in possession take priority over Rare duplicates, which is why Rare  Crafting Metals are harder to find compared to the other rarities since Common, Epic, and Legendary items instead are fully random.
* A Legendary item is guaranteed to drop in the next Pack after 29 Packs are opened without finding any. This only applies to Rare Packs.
* Heirloom Shards are guaranteed to drop in the next Pack after 499 Packs are opened without finding any, unless all Mythic items are already owned.  Collection Event Packs and  Themed Event Packs do not count towards this, and  Heirloom Shards cannot be found in them.
	+ When  Heirloom Shards are found, the Pack is not consumed.

These are the chances for at least one item to drop in higher quality than Common.

## Obtaining

### Store

The Store always sells Rare Packs in their own "Apex Packs" section, costing  100 each. Legendary and Thematic Packs may also be offered in the Store, often bundled with other items, otherwise they are offered as a standalone purchase for respectively  500 and  400 each.  Collection Event Packs can be purchased for  700 each during a Collection Event, or purchased from bundles.

### Experience

Up to 544 Rare Packs can be earned by leveling up. They are spread out in the following way:

* Tier 1
	+ Level 2 - 20: one every level.
	+ Level 22 - 300: one every 2 levels.
	+ Level 305 - 500: one every 5 levels.
* Tiers 2-4
	+ Level 1-100: one every 10 levels.
	+ Level 100-200: one every 8 levels.
	+ Level 200-300: one every 6 levels.
	+ Level 300-400: one every 4 levels.
	+ Level 400-500: one every 2 levels.

### Battle Passes

*Main article:* Battle Pass

During a Season, Apex Packs can be earned by progressing through the Battle Pass.

### Events

*Main article:* Event

During some Events, Apex Packs and/or Event Packs could be earned through challenges and/or Prize-Track progress.

### Treasure Packs

*Main article:* Quests

Progressing through the  Treasure Packs reward track may provide Apex Packs.

### Prime Gaming Loot

*Main article:* Prime Gaming Loot

The first Prime Gaming Loot included 5  **Apex Packs** alongside the Omega Point Pathfinder skin, available in February 2019 with the release of *Apex Legends*. It was available up until  Season 1.

## Trivia

* There is a rare Apex Pack animation causing the Pack to "blast off" after dropping all three items.
* **Thematic Packs** and  Collection Event Packs produce a different, metallic sound when being opened, compared to regular Packs.
* Players whose store region is set to Belgium cannot purchase Apex Packs due to a gambling law banning video game loot boxes. The ones earned through methods that don't involve purchasing them with real money (leveling up, challenges, Free Battle Pass rewards) can still be earned and opened, but the Packs cannot be bought with  Coins, and the ones in the Premium Battle Pass are replaced with  Crafting Metals:
	+ Rare: offers 60  Crafting Metals
	+ Epic: offers 250  Crafting Metals
	+ Legendary: offers 800  Crafting Metals
* **Monster Within Packs** mistakenly had the same rarity drop rates as  Collection Event Packs for standard loot pool items when they were first released on October 12, 2021. They were fixed shortly after.
