Apex Legends - Are you spending money?

[Nintendo]

Spent around $33 I think. For Origin Access and the Founders Pack. Not planning to pay any more for skins but I'll buy the battle passes in the future.

Didn't spend much on Overwatch. As for Rainbow Six Siege, at least $500 (including the multiple times I bought it)

 

[Deleted member 1627]

I bought the starter pack and am definitely in for the Battle Pass when it launches :)

 

[mescalineeyes]

I bought 20 dollars worth of coins to support Respawn then spent it on Apex packs. It sucked, everything I got was trash.

Also, save for 2-3 skins most cosmetics are not particularly great and not something I'd ever spend money on it. Respawn's artists really dropped the ball on this.

 

[salary0n]

I planned to, when they add the cosmetics I like, or maybe when the battle pass live. The last mtx item I bought is the keys on rocket league to unlock rocket pass.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I'll wait for the battle pass and the start of Season 1. Then I'll drop some coin.

 

[TheDarkKnight]

I will when the battle pass drops

 

[Noppie]

No.

 

[ParanoidRED]

How much is the battle pass expected to cost?

20-30€? I have no idea how it works for fortnite

 

[Knight in Shining Armani]

No. I would if you could buy all the individual gear but I ain't giving them a dime for loot boxes.

 

[Ombala]

Don't think the skins look that good tbh, and I've gotten one legend from just playing the game. I think the game play is fun but the characters are prty anonymous to me.

 

[Pillock]

Not yet, but will definitely go for the battle pass. I've sunk about 20 hours into it since it came out so dropping them a few £ is only fair right?

 

[Engell]

just like many other games items seems overpriced.. i imagine i would spend more if things had a lower cost when i calculate what each item cost i just left thinking that it is a rippoff, if i could buy 3 items instead of 1 then i would prolly do it.
maybe the battlepass when it launches

 

[Kudo]

Already got both characters by playing, so no.
Depending on what Battle Pass has I might, but I will not never ever pay for loot boxes.

 

[Schierke Mori]

Will only pay for the battle passes if they're $10. Have they confirmed pricing yet?

 

[AwareSnake]

I have absolutely zero interest in skins, so no.

 

[Nekyrrev]

I would be open to buy some skins but the ones in the game right now are pretty boring in my opinion. I actually think that the character design as a whole is pretty boring and forgettable (I just like Pathfinder), which doesn't help obviously.

 

[ara]

I bought Mirage and will likely get at least the first battle pass, so yes, though I'm not planning on spending a ton. Cosmetics-wise I'm really only interested in banner stuff.

 

[Doukou]

The game has too many crap items for me to see it as worthwhile.
The only legendary I've gotten has been for the Mastiff which I see once in a blue moon.

 

[Skeleton]

Not with those skins, they need a major improvement for me to spend.

 

[Readler]

Nope, nothing there to buy.

Not that I have bought any Overwatch skins, but at least they look cool. Apex skins look pretty meh

 

[MrJohnSherry]

Bought the founders pack to support Respawn because I have been enjoying the game so much. Felt like I was robbing them lol

 

[Mantrox]

Nope. I'm happy just playing the game and unlocking stuff as i go.
It's the same in Overwatch. I bought the game, have almost 1000 hours on it, but haven't spent a single cent more.

 

[Saint-14]

Yes, $50 so far and I'll be getting the Battle Pass too.

 

[TheGummyBear]

So far I haven't taken the plunge. The vanity items are mostly pretty bland, so I have had no urge to go in on the cosmetic items.

Although I'll be buying the battle pass when it releases. The game is great, it's the one that has made Battle Royale click for me, and I want to support Respawn's work.

 

[Bauer91]

Never spent money on lootboxes before but I got the Starter pack. I'm level 54 right now and you get one lootbox per five levels, they really want you to spend money on these. :/

 

[Bushido]

Currently I'm not, but I'm almost 100% sure that I'm gonna buy the battle pass once it becomes available.

 

[BraXzy]

I've spent a little bit so far on a dozen Apex packs, I'll likely pick up the Battle Pass, but beyond that? Doubtful.

There are far too many items to unlock, with too few ways to unlock them. As a result, the low rarity items aren't gradually getting "cleared" so spending my money on packs is fruitless because the odds of getting something good are so low.

The pricing for set items in the store (beyond being predatory) is too high for what you get. The skins are okay but not incredible, and they aren't universal. Paying roughly £10 for a skin on one gun out of dozens, or one character out of 8 just doesn't work in the same way a universal skin on Fortnite does.

 

[The Traveller]

I've never spent money on cosmetics, I just don't see the value in them personally. I may get the battle pass though.

 

[BubblegumNemesis]

Bought the starter pack, I felt like I had to give them money for making this excellent game :) If I continue playing I will probably spend a bit more, but usually I don't go over 50-60 for any f2p game ever. I treat these games as normal releases.

 

[Lyonaz]

Bought the founder and starter pack. Respawn deserves it.

 

[KOHIPEET]

Not yet. Waiting for the dust to settle. And also for a more noob-friendly matchmaking

 

[TheRulingRing]

Lmao I love how few people are ripping on them for lootboxes in here. I guess it's ok when it's a game the internet mob likes.

The mob's intentions were clear from the start obviously: it only matters when it's a game they don't like.

 

[Letters]

Nothing for now, appart from the Origin Access for $1 promo the other day to get 1000 Apex coins.

Will definitely be subscribing to the battlepass, game is amazing beyond words.

 

[Deleted member 20284]

$20 odd bucks, wanted Mirage, got Caustic too. I'm not really a skins/cosmetic guy but I'll happily support quality games.

"The mob" are usually complaining about loot boxes in a full priced $60 game, this is F2P. Or do you have specific examples?

 

[JCH!]

I haven't yet, but I'll probably get the Battle Pass if the price is reasonable.

 

[Kaim Argonar]

I will if they don't expect me to every three months.

 

[Gala]

Grabbed the Starter and Founders Pack to support Respawn! Also gonna get the Battle Pass!

 

[Digital Savior]

I bought the starter and founders packs. Might get in on the battle pass.

 

[NightShift]

I would if I liked the game. It's a good F2P model.

 

[TheRulingRing]

No, the mob hated lootboxes period for preying on vulnerable adults and kids, which this game has plenty of. F2P or full-price shouldn't change that principle now, should it?

Hell Fortnite threads always got derailed by people complaining about its much more benign microtransactions.

 

[Gowans]

Got the starter pack, would get the Founders Pack but doesn't seem worth it, will get some bucks when the battle pass is out.

 

[DennyDifferent]

Honestly, the lack of cross-progression is stopping me (and I'm sad to hear that there won't ever be cross-progression). I play on PC at work and on PS4 at home. I'm loathed to spend money if I can't use it on both.

 

[nuttyevans]

No. If I don't have to spend money, I won't.

 

[TheFireman]

Nope, game doesn't have anything worth buying. Reminds me of Siege for it's first five months when the only cosmetics were shitty gunskins, so everyone just saved up for the characters instead.

But it's also early on. It's just kinda surprising, this game's got so much polish that it's a bit shocking there's nothing really worth buying yet. I also dislike the lack of cross-progression. I understand it's rare to implement on PS4/XBO, but I'd at least like to see console + pc cross-progression. It was a lot easier to justify spending money on Fortnite when I can use what I buy on my Switch, Xbox and PC.

 

[Joker Code]

I bought some loot boxes and one of the locked characters.

 

[Tennis]

As good as gameplay is, I just don't understand the appeal of the skins in this game. The are way too generic and most seem to just alter the color scheme a bit. Fortnite does a much better job with its cosmetics, everything they sell looks appealing.

The game is a week old, give it time.

I'm not a fan of loot boxes myself and would prefer to buy stuff directly however to give Respawn credit in game they detail the drop chance %, guaranteed legendary drops every x amount of loot crates opened and confirm no duplicates.

Again I would prefer to buy direct and wont spend 'real money' on loot crates.

 

[Wolf of Yharnam]

I'm ready to drop some money on it. But the items in the store look bad so far. Making the guns look like toy guns and the legend skins you won't see ingame anyway
