Survival Items

In Apex Legends, every match begins with players deploying from a dropship and skydiving onto the map. Each player starts with a basic survival kit to get them started. This kit includes essential items for immediate defense and recovery, ensuring a baseline level of preparedness before looting begins.

Upon starting a match, all players receive a starter kit containing:

  • A Level 1 Shield Core
  • A Knockdown Shield
  • Four Shield Cells
  • Four Syringes

Beyond this initial kit, all other items must be acquired through looting. Players can find additional gear and supplies by searching the ground, opening Supply Bins, visiting Arsenal Stations, or discovering other map-specific sources of higher-tier loot.

Apex Packs are loot boxes that provide random cosmetic items. These packs come in various rarities, which can influence the Crafting Metals received:

  • Rare: Offers 60 Crafting Metals
  • Epic: Offers 250 Crafting Metals
  • Legendary: Offers 800 Crafting Metals

There are several types of Apex Packs:

  • Apex Packs: These are typically Rare, but Epic and Legendary versions may be available in the Store or during Events.
  • Thematic Packs: These packs guarantee at least one item specific to a Legend, weapon, or cosmetic type.
  • Collection Event Packs: These contain at least one item from the Collection Event they are associated with.
  • Themed Event Packs: These packs include at least one item from their respective Themed Event.
