Hey all,

Lead Product Manager Lee Horn (Leeeeeee-RSPN) here with an overview of the Season 2 Battle Pass Challenges system. We heard your feedback on the Season 1 Battle Pass, and for Season 2 we’ve created a fun new way to maximize your Battle Pass gains. Challenges will allow you to make significantly greater Battle Pass progress, meaning you’ll unlock that sweet, sweet loot with less grind over less time by returning on a regular basis to complete challenges.

With the launch of Season 2, you’ll be able to complete Daily and Weekly Challenges to level up your Battle Pass. As we’ve previously mentioned, we’re endeavoring to balance gameplay purity with variety and fun, so this Season’s challenges will not require a YouTube tutorial to figure out.

Six of your ten Weekly Challenges will grant an entire Battle Pass level as a reward. The remaining Daily & Weekly Challenges grant STARS which, combined with match XP, contribute to a repeatable Weekly Challenge that grants a full Battle Pass level with each completion. STARS are XP specific to Battle Pass, meaning STARS do not impact Account Level progression.

Daily Challenges

Each day, you will receive three new Daily Challenges chosen randomly from a pool of over two hundred. These challenges range from “Deal 200 Damage in Bunker” to “Play 1 game as Lifeline” and are intended to be achievable in a short play session. Complete your daily challenge and earn 3,000 STARS each.

Your challenge pool will reset every day, so be sure to check back regularly to maximize Battle Pass progress.

Weekly Challenges

Each week, you will receive a set of seven new Weekly Challenges. These challenges are intended to take several play sessions to complete and range from "Get 20 Kills as Gibraltar, Bangalore, or Mirage” to “Loot 100 Epic items.” Four of the Weekly Challenges are worth 6,000 STARS each (24,000 STARS total) and three of the Weekly Challenges grant an entire Battle Pass level each upon completion.

Starting the season late? No problem – you’ll get access to all previous Weekly Challenges at once. So, if you start in Week 3, you’ll get access to Week 1, 2, and 3 challenges immediately (21 in total).

Weekly Resetting Challenges

Each week, you’ll have an additional set of three special resetting Weekly Challenges. These are the same every week and refresh even if you haven’t completed them. Keep a careful eye on these to make maximum Battle Pass progress.

  • Complete five Daily Challenges – Rewards one Battle Pass level
  • Complete 10 Daily Challenges – Rewards one Battle Pass level

For example, if a player completes 10 Daily Challenges in a week, they’ll get the rewards for completing 10 Daily Challenges, the rewards for completing five Daily Challenges, and the rewards for completing each Daily Challenge.

  • Earn 9,000 STARS and/or match XP – Rewards one Battle Pass level
  • This quest may be repeated an unlimited number of times each week.
  • Each completion increases the STARS and/or match XP required for the next by 9,000, up to a maximum of 54,000. You need 9,000 for the first level, 18,000 for the second level, etc. This challenge resets to 9,000 each week.

We hope the Battle Pass progression structure for Season 2 feels way more rewarding! As always, we appreciate all the support and feedback from the community as we continue to iterate and improve Apex Legends.

I think it means your dailies are being pulled from a pool of over 200. Not that there's a list of 200 to all complete. So you may get "Deal 200 damage in Bunker" multiple times over the course of the season technically

Zzmax12 is correct!

I assume these are cumulative like the weekly ones? i.e. you can do 91 dmg in bunker one game then 109 next game to complete it or must you do all 200 damage in one game?

A few of the challenges are "in a single match", but most carry over between games. If they are single match, they'll say so

Love the idea of daily and weekly challenges but got a bit confused with the explanation. Probably just me but still hyped!

It makes a lot more sense when you're just doin' it :) Long story short - Click on the challenge tab, do those challenges, level up! Repeat next week when you get a fresh set

What stars do?

Stars are essentially battle pass only XP that levels up your repeatable weekly challenge that says "Get ____ match XP and/or Stars to get a full battle pass level". This challenge requirement starts low, so it ensures you make greatly accelerated progress each week when it resets

Daily challenges are randomly selected from a pool of 200+ each day for each player individually. So you and I are very, very, very unlikely to have the same 3 challenges on a given day.

The weekly set of 7 challenges are all hand crafted pools, so each week you'll get 1 of the remaining pools. First week you get a random pool of 13, then 2nd week you get a random pool from the remaining 12, etc. By the end of the 13 weeks, players will all have experienced the same pools, just in different orders.

“STARS do not contribute to account level” does this information even matter? Account level progress means nothing once you get to 100.

A lot of players still aren't level 100 :)

Do you daily challenges stack like weekly challenges? Can I come back after a week and complete all of the daily challenges together like I can do with the weekly ones?

Nope - dailies are you use it or lose it

Will battle pass progress still work if you don’t purchase the battle pass right away? For example I don’t buy it for a week or two due to no money’s 😢 will my progress still be tracked after I get it??

Yes you will still make progress. However, you won't have access to the stacking XP bonus in the premium track

Seems like you guys took a lot of season one feedback in the right way. Really love how you constantly take input and put out thoughtful changes. Not just spew them out and say let's see how this works.

Woot!

Really happy they choosed to pick random challenges for every players. I really don't like having everyone doing the same challenge and using the same weapons at the same time. It's not fun.

Would it be possible for a dev to confirm that the season 2 BP will be affordable with the Apex Coins we got solely from season 1 ?

Is it something that will remain true for later battle passes ?

S2 battle pass costs 950 AC or 2800 AC for the bundle w/ 25 levels. So if you completed season 1 and got all your coins, you can effectively buy season 2 for free. Completing season 2 will award 1000 AC.

If you start a daily challenge like 200 damage in Bunker, and dont finish that day, will it be reset when the new dailies come in or will you just get 2 new dailies instead of 3?

Either way sounds like a great system, much improved over s1

Dailies reset regardless of progress status, so make sure you finish them before reset!

/u/Leeeeeee-RSPN Do you count out the 'e' that are in your name when you type it out? do you have it copied and just paste it when needed?

Count it out - 7 every time

Season 2 lasting 5 months is disappointing.

Should be 3 months. Otherwise you max out the bp and the game turns stale. (Havent played since s1 ended)

One map change and 2 legends in 5 months. Maybe this is to give them more time to start pumping out more content next year or then working on porting it not next gen consoles

3 months

Am I correct in thinking that STARS only apply to the 3rd resetting weekly challenge? There's a lot of confusion about them.

Correct

Are dailies still in season 1? I saw them on the right side on the lobby once and they're gone now

Those were event specific challenges for the Legendary Hunt event

What kind of progression can I gain once I finish my dailys/weeklys? Maybe I missed it but I didn’t see anything about it, i know I’m a sweat and will probably have my dailys and weeklys done within a few matches will I still be getting decent progression from playing after they are finished for the day/week? Thanks.

Match XP still contributes to the weekly repeatable XP/stars challenge.
