How to equip a skydive trail in Apex Legends

Apex Legends players can equip many different cosmetic items to customize their character. These customizations can range from character skins to weapon skins. Additionally, players can further customize their character with playful emotes, holosprays, and even voice quips. Apex Legends also has certain cosmetics that players can use to show off their skills. These include skydive trails.

When players make their jump at the start of the battle royale, they will notice that they have a trail behind them. These can change in color to represent player teams. However, some players have special trails that they have earned from reaching Diamond rank and above in Ranked play. However, these skydive trails are not equipped by default. This article will explain how players can equip and show off their skydive trail in Apex Legends.

Skydive trails are cool, but they can come with a price

When players are using a skydive trail, it can definitely look really cool. From the perspective of other players, it can also do two things. It can either make others, especially newer players, a bit worried when they see the skydive trail. However, it can also go the other way and make players a target. Others can see the trail while dropping, and some players may take it as a personal challenge to put a highly skilled player down.
