Legend

“

Hm... Son, you think you've got what it takes? They call us Apex Legends. But not all legends are heroes. Each fight for their own reasons. From the ashes of war, legends are born. They are icons of strength, power. Outside the ring, they're champions. Inside, they're equals. But the goal remains the same, become an Apex Legend. I say it's a sport of survival. You ask me? It's simple, eh. They kill you, they're better. You kill them, you're better.

— Kuben Blisk throughout the cinematic launch trailer

Legends are playable characters in Apex Legends. Each legend is a unique character with their own backstory, abilities, and playstyle. Most legends need to be unlocked by using Legend Tokens or Apex Coins. A new legend is released every season.

The legends are categorized into classes: Offensive, Defensive, Support, and Recon.

Common Legend Abilities

Each legend is defined by their unique tactical ability, passive ability, and ultimate ability. They also have unique hitbox sizes. Some of them have passive perks to accommodate for these differences.

However, the following are common to all legends (unless modified by their abilities):

• Legends can sprint, jump, crouch, crouch walk, slide, and climb walls up to 5-6 meters tall.
• Using their waist-mounted jetpacks, legends can skydive from high altitudes and boost themselves along zip lines.
• Legends can equip two weapons of any type, as well as one of each kind of gear.
• Legends have 10 slots in their inventory that they can use to carry ammo, regen items, grenades, or spare attachments. Equipping Backpacks adds more slots.
• Legends can melee attack at any time. It has a short windup, but deals 30 damage and knocks enemies back a bit.
• When downed, legends can still crawl slowly and defend themselves with a Knockdown Shield if they have one. Squad mates that are still up can revive them.
• If killed while downed, legends drop a death box that contains all of the items they had, as well as a banner card that squad mates can use at a Respawn Beacon to bring them back.
• Legends can perform finishers on downed enemies, refueling their Body Shield and finishing off the target.
