Apex Legends Anniversary Collection Event prices anger fans

Apex Legends fans are already annoyed at the Anniversary Collection Event - and it isn't even expected to kick off until February 9. The event is a celebration of two years of Apex Legends - the developers told The Loadout that they had "no regrets" in the game's two year lifespan, but fans might see things differently.

Collection Events are a regular occurrence in Apex Legends, and involve opening special Collection Event Packs in order to unlock limited edition skins. In previous events, players were able to unlock specific skins using Apex Coins - either for legends or weapons - or pay slightly less Apex Coins for a random skin from the event. In this iteration, if you collect all 24 items, you will be rewarded with 150 heirloom shards - and therefore a free pick of the existing heirlooms.

All cosmetics in the event will be Epic or Legendary quality, but fans are describing it as a cash grab by EA. Just two of the Collection Event Packs will be available through challenges, and the rest must be bought with Apex Coins, the battle royale game's premium currency.
