5 best R-301 skins in Apex Legends that you can use in 2024
1) Ghostly Graveyard
The Ghostly Graveyard is one of the best R-301 skins in Apex Legends. It was released with the game's Flight or Fright event in Season 3.
The Ghostly Graveyard makes an occasional appearance in the game's official store. While the skin might have not surfaced in the Halloween event for the title during October 2024, we do believe that it's high time for it to reappear in the game for Halloween 2025.
2) Blue Surge
Released as part of the Chromatic Surge bundle during Weapons Recolor Shop in April 2023, the Blue Surge is held in high regard by the community. It features a clean design aesthetic, attracting players who prefer a minimalistic design for their weapon skins.
We speculate that the Blue Surge will resurface around April 2024. If you want to get your hands on this skin, you might have to spend 6700 Apex Coins if it pops up as a bundle. If not, it will cost you 1800 Apex Coins.
We believe its one of the best and cleanest R-301 skins available in the game, and if you can afford it, you'll be set for success.
3) Trophy Collector
The Legendary Hunt Event of 2019 released the Trophy Collector skin for the R-301. The Trophy Collector is believed to be one of the most popular and sought-after skins in the game. Owing to how popular the R-301 is getting, we believe it might surface in the game very soon.
The Trophy Hunter did not make an appearance in Summer '24, however, since the game has now made the R-301 quite meta, we do expect the developers to release new skins, and eventually also re-release popularly demanded old skins in the game.
The Trophy Hunter skin will cost 1250 Apex Coins if sold as a standalone item. However, this cosmetic has been previously released as part of the Legendary Hunt bundle, which costs 6000 Apex Coins.
In case you're presented with the latter, you'll get access to skins for the following Legends and weapons upon purchasing the bundle:
- Caustic (Legend)
- Mirage (Legend)
- Wraith (Legend)
- Pathfinder (Legend)
- Lifeline (Legend)
- Octane (Legend)
- Bangalore (Legend)
- Spitfire (Weapon)
- Flatline (Weapon)
- R-301 (Weapon)
4) Pure Performance
The Pure Performance skin was released with Season 6's Aftermarket Collection Event. It was initially featured as a standalone skin for the AR. However, its future reappearances came in the form of a bundle.
The Pure Performance, which is considered one of the best R-301 skins in Apex Legends, was initially sold for 1800 Apex Coins. However, as it coupled with a Wattson skin to form the 'Wired for Speed' bundle, its price tag was readjusted to 2150 Apex Coins.
5) Amethyst Apathy
Release as part of the Amethyst bundle in Season 10, the Amethyst Apathy rose to popularity because of its minimalist aesthetic. Before the launch of the Blue Surge skin for the AR, the Amethyst Apathy was the preferred cosmetic choice for players who desired a minimalistic R-301 skin.
This skin will cost 2150 Apex Coins since it has always resurfaced as a bundle in the official Apex Store. If it is sold as a standalone cosmetic, we speculate it will be priced at 1800 Apex Coins since it is a Legendary rarity skin.
