WELCOME TO THE APEX GAMES

Your first job is to survive long enough to learn the basics. Let’s lock in.

Your first 3 priorities

  1. Pick a starting Legend: This doesn’t have to be your forever main, just a Legend whose abilities keep you in the fight. Lifeline’s healing and Bangalore’s smoke can give you early breathing room, both are unlocked for all players. 
  2. Learn Apex’s rhythm: Find a safe place to drop, loot 2 usable weapons, shield up. Move with your squad, keep your shields and health up, and ping threats when you see them. Since you’re just starting out, stick with Bot Royale Evolved until you’re ready for a bigger challenge.
  3. Follow the Welcome Pass: Every challenge teaches you a mechanic you'll need in a real match. Complete them to earn rewards and unlock new Legends.

The Welcome Pass is your coach

As mentioned above, the best way to use your Welcome Pass is by picking a challenge and focusing on it for a session, like movement, combat, or squad play. Complete it before moving to the next one.

Do this next

  • Explore the Firing Range for 5 minutes before your next queue.
  • Pick 1 Legend to play for 3 matches.
  • Open Welcome Pass 101 and choose one challenge to chase.
