To coincide with its official announcement, Respawn has shared exactly what players will receive for their 1000 Apex Coins. However, a chunk of the community has taken to Reddit to complain that the pass seems dull and uninteresting, with the main rewards of the pass seemingly focusing on badges and trackers – instead of more traditional cosmetic items and high tier, whacky new content.

One Redditor by the name of LockoutFFA even went as far as to say the Battle Pass “went from ‘Very Hyped’ to “Might Not Buy”, sharing that they felt as if Respawn only had “one person in their creative department, just barely holding it together”. Another, xHomicidev, commented saying that while they “mostly hate getting on the criticize band wagon (…) I have to agree that these rewards are supremely underwhelming.”

Since the reveal, Respawn has released a blog post to try and explain its choice behind the Battle Pass. “Season 1 is about keeping it focused and allowing players to earn a lot of rewards at a great value” it reads, pointing out that if players use the battle pass’s progression bonus to reach level 97, they’ll have accrued back the cost of a Battle Pass purchase as in-game credit.
