Hey, any chance we could get any info on how rare they’re going to be? Like are they gold item level or like those ghosts from the Halloween event crates?
A lot closer to those zombie & spider scares, yeah.
We’ll keep an eye on the collection rates too, and adjust as needed. We want everyone to get them.
This is bomb, what you talkin about.
Interesting.... is Vinson Dynamics named after the dev Rayme Vinson?
Our own Ryan Lastimosa - designer of many many weapons in the Apex universe... named one of the manufacturers after me a long time ago, as a surprise. It was just a fun easter egg (and very nice of him). Then they became a faction in Titanfall 2 MP, and... listen, it's very strange. =p
Time gates and RNG just to advance a lore and play PvE matches, with the ability to pay Apex Coins aka real money if you are a bit late...
Yeah, sounds like a Secondary Battle Pass with annoying extra steps. I don't know why they want to make lore discovery and a PvE mode such a chore.
Well, we'll see what everyone thinks by the time it's all done. Feedback is always important.
The *intention* is that this is all just fun reward for the time people put into the game anyway. Shouldn't feel like a chore. If you read the blog post we talk a bit about the inspiration (January soiree event, Forge lore), and such.

Well, no. This is 100% free. The only way to inject money into it is if you want to pay to catch up on AC packs, which nobody should ever have to do.
Luckily the calculus for Apex making money comes down to "are people playing it and enjoying their time?". So that slides in nicely with the goals you'd want as a designer on the game. So from that angle: yes, sure. We want you to play the game and keep it successful. Oh no, m'secrets. ;)
Just to clarify, May 12th will begin our ability to find treasure packs and May 19th the first chapter of the quest opens?
Correct. You'll be able to get the one-a-day Treasure Packs as soon as the update comes out (the 12th), and read the prologue story chapter in the Quest tab. Then on the 19th (one week later) the first Hunt unlocks. You'll need to have picked up your 5th Treasure Pack to go play it.
Finish that first Hunt and you'll get a Weapon Charm, your first piece of the artifact, and Chapter One of the story.
does it matter what map you play on? also after 9 weeks is it not possible to earn these treasure packs? say i dont play the game for a week out of these 9 weeks is it possible to earn and get the packs next week?
The Treasure Packs are earnable all season long, yeah, so you'd be fine. =)
You can find them on any map, as well.
Are the rewards from the packs random or will everyone who collects all 45 end up with the same rewards by the end of the season?
Same rewards, with the small wrinkle that the Apex Packs (like always) are randomized. So if you have my luck you'll get 3 trackers, and your friend will get an Heirloom. Because of course. =p
how DARE you
Oh i didn't want to give off the impression that respawn doesn't do skins anymore. I know that for example the awesome wattson skin from this seasons battlepass was made in house. But now that you said it, i actually generalized it totally in my initial post.
ps: I actually follow most of you on artstation, including you ;)
;O;
<3
the people making skins arent even part of respawn. they are small independent studios that design them as part of a commission. The skins get made, the studio gets paid, thats it. Its similar with the devs, they work for a fixed wage, meaning that they get their money regardles the financial performence of the game.
so all the money apex actually makes (-wages from people working on it and server maintenance) goes to shareholders and bonuses.
i make skins and im a part of respawn ;n;
You have to be invited. The first mission doesn’t release for a week so everyone will have to wait. I don’t know how common the treasure packs are gonna be and only one player can grab one once a day. They’re adding more incentive to play regularly.
> I don’t know how common the treasure packs are gonna be
It will be very straightforward to get a Treasure Pack for the day. We want people who think "okay, I only have 15 minutes to play before I head back to work" to not be left out.
