Among the differences seen in the mobile version of the battle royale, fans have learned of a number of unique cosmetics available exclusively through theApex Legends MobileBattle Pass. As part of this content, players can unlock 2 exclusive Lifeline skins and a new outfit for theProfessional Soldier known as Bangalore. Perhaps even more exciting is a selection of Legend Select animations being offered exclusively to mobile users. Some characters receiving these Legendary intro animations include Bangalore, Pathfinder, Lifeline, and Wraith. While these are a nice change from the familiar intros seen for years in the base game, its exclusivity has frustrated many PC and consoles players.

Since revealing these Legendary cosmetics and animations, numerous members of theApex Legendscommunity have weighed in with their opinions. While this content is doubtlessly exciting to those planning to play on mobile devices, those still playing the base game appear less enthused. “Will we get this kind of quality content in the main game though?” Jently PLAYS asked on YouTube. Another commenter echoed this concern, wishing the new Lifeline skins would come to the PC and console versions of the game. Furthermore, some thought thatPrestige skins inApex Legendswould be more valuable if they came with unique intro animations as well.
While it is unknown if players will ever get the chance to purchase these mobile-exclusive cosmetics in the base game, it does open the door for exciting additions in the future. For example, perhaps the developers will eventually decide to introduce Legend Select animations exclusive to the PC and console versions ofApex Legends. It seems like a logical next step as it provides fans with more content while giving Respawn Entertainment another item to sell in the in-game shop.
It will be interesting to seewhat the future holds forApex Legendsin the coming days. Time will tell how the mobile version eventually co-exists with the base game once it finally rolls out to the rest of the world. Hopefully, its release means even more opportunities for fans of the franchise to enjoy the gameplay the battle royale has to offer.
