Do you have to win a solo match with each character to unlock said skin?


I hope so but these games never do something like that because shite players would fuss and it doesn't make them money.

It will probably be something like play x amount of matches or place top 5. Something you can grind or camp.

But my bet is 1 free, a few grind, a few cost $20.

Yup. Looks like you can get two free packs by challenges but then need to buy the rest of the packs to unlock skins. Special packs for the limited event.

700 coins for 1 pack.

You can earn 2.
24 Items possible.

So if you want the entire set it will cost you 15,400 coins or around $112 dollars if you buy the coin bundles that give extra.

I could be wrong, just by looking at it real fast.

So far solo is exactly like squads.

A bunch of people who aren't on the same team, ignoring the fact that they are standing next to each other and only shooting at me

Seems to be more 3rd partying, easier to roll in and try to get that kill and then get out, imo.
I won my first game solo waiting for the last 2 people to start fighting. Promptly killed them both with a mastiff, haha. I'll probably keep playing solo to clear certain challenges I don't feel like trying to get done in squads.

This shite is greedy as frick. To get everything you pretty much have to pay about 200 dollars.

24 items, 2 free. 700 coins per pack, 1 item per pack. Then after you BUY everything, they reward you with the opportunity to buy a bloodhound heirloom weapon. Again, only after buying all of the other things can you get this.

That heirloom? 35 dollars. I get it’s a free game but god damn rEspAwn

Well yea. I knew it would happen. Just the way it is these days. Some people will pay it too.

Called that.

I had no problems with solo. I actually really enjoyed it. Nice not having to worry about distributing loot evenly. I played about 10 games before going back to ranked squads. Won a game as Wraith, Pathfinder, Lifeline and Bangalore. It felt really laid back but that is probably because lots of people jumped back on yesterday to try it out. I expect it to get tougher.

It is actually closer to $200 if you want to buy everything including the Bloodhound Heirloom, which is beyond sick. The skins in it are the best the game has ever offered though so might have to do it!

Yep. See the updated picture I posted.
My math was going off an incorrect price for the bundles of coins. I was looking at a google image and not the true cost. Basically I had the $100 coin pack at $80.

Reddit is in an uproar right now over this new event.

People are calling them (apex) out for being "predatory" against children and people with gambling addictions. They are calling for loot boxes to be banned.

Like wtf
