First person games inherently have a harder time with battle passes imo. The existence of lootboxes as part of the battle pass also hurts it for me. Though it does seem if you buy in and complete the pass, you will be able to buy the next one. So that's good.

But yea. There's a reason why the battle passes for pubg and cod haven't been nearly as successful as Fortnite's. The perspective and art style/tone limit the additions, Apex has only one of those problems at least.

Agree on this.

I assume it'll get better as time goes on. I don't think they expected the game to get so massive and in a short amount of time it takes a lot of work to get this kind of thing going.

An example of eight rewards. This is level 87-94, so right at the top end of the pass. This looks terrible.

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by this.

Well those rewards fucking suck. 1 set of legend skins? Wheres the new takedown animations, banner poses? Boring weapon skins.
Early impressions but not worth the wait at all.

The rewards are weak, that's for sure , but getting premium currency a la Fortnite is exactly what I wanted to see.

I'm still interested, but ...

The rewards don't look that great, TBH. At least you can make your coins back by playing.

It doesn't look like Octane is part of the pass? When does he release?

I'm going to buy this pass and (maybe) get to 100 in hopes that any subsequent battle passes are higher in quality. Very dissapointed with the quality of rewards.

edit: yall I don't think that the 'skins' for the loot ticks are skins, but rather different quality lootboxes.

Disappointing. Weak skins and now weak cosmetics for the battlepass. Look at those garbage backgrounds for the later levels, just trash.

They need to do something about their cosmetics, those are pretty awful.

Awful. They need to hire new cosmetic designers for skins and the like.

I have the majority of the cosmetics and the heirloom, and have enough gold for another 100 boxes. That's on cosmetics that barely register or appeal. They're hamstringing themselves by continuing to produce low quality stuff.

Almost as expected, that's pretty bad, if only because they spread cheap crappy stuff out for all the different characters. So you earn the same things over and over.

20 of the rewards being badges for "I got to level X of the battlepass!" is kind of ridiculous.

So they have the perfect thing to mimic and only improve on, the fortnite battlepass, and still fumbled the fuck out of it? This is extremely weak

Pass looks okay. Getting currency is nice. Fortnite has an advantage with these due to being able to offer many different player models, skins, gliders, axes, etc. I'll do the first season at least.
