Apex Legends Season 22 Battle Pass: Is it worth buying?

Apex Legends publisher Electronic Arts (EA) recently announced a major change for the Season 22 Battle Pass. The developers were planning to ingrain two battle passes in a single season - each lasting a single split. This news agitated the community as players would have to purchase the seasonal pass twice, essentially spending double the amount of money. However, some of these changes were reverted and a new system was introduced.

This article will highlight if buying two Season 22 Battle Passes in Apex Legends is worth it.

Should you buy the Apex Legends Season 22 Battle Pass?

Yes, buying both Season 22 Battle Passes in Apex Legends is worth it. While it might seem like a counter-intuitive decision, the upcoming changes in rewards by the devs have a high chance of increasing the overall return that the community gets in terms of cosmetics and limited-time collectibles.

A single battle pass will cost you 950 Apex Coins (AC) for the Premium version, the Ultimate will cost $10, and around $20 for the Ultimate+ edition. That said, let us take a look at the promised rewards for each iteration:

Free Pass

• 18 Levels
• 200 Apex Coins
• 7 Apex Packs
• 1 Epic Legend Skin
• 1 Epic Weapon Skin
• 1 Epic Standing Emote

Premium Pass

• 2400 Crafting Material
• 10 Exotic Shards
• 14 Apex Packs
• 4 Epic Characters
• 8 Epic Weapons
• 6 Epic Emotes
• 2 Legendary Character Skins
• 1 Legendary Weapon Skin
• 1 Reactive Weapon

Ultimate Pass

• 92 Levels
• 1300 Apex Coins
• 1200 Crafting Material
• 10 Exotic Shards
• 14 Apex Packs
• 4 Epic Characters
• 8 Epic Weapons
• 6 Epic Emotes
• 2 Legendary Character Skins
• 1 Legendary Weapon Skin
• 1 Reactive Weapon

Ultimate+ Pass

• 95 Levels
• 1300 Apex Coins
• 1200 Crafting Material
• 14 Apex Packs
• 20 Exotic Shards
• 4 Epic Characters
• 8 Epic Weapons
• 6 Epic Emotes
• 2 Legendary Character Skins
• 1 Legendary Weapon Skin
• 1 Reactive Weapon

The Premium Battle Pass seems the most likely pick for most players as most players already have all characters unlocked. But, if you are a collector, the extra skin variants in Ultimate+ might appear to be more attractive. However, the highest battle pass version costs double the premium one.

The devs also included details about the change in price including the removal of Apex Coins as a payment method. But this decision was taken back after frequent community reviews which caused the publisher to bring back the use of AC.
