The Battle Pass of Apex Legends might indeed receive tasks inspired by “Challenges.” At least that’s what a new leak suggests. Was the backlash too strong?
This is what the leak says: The Twitter account “RealApexLeaks” has discovered some lines of code referring to “Missions.” (via dotesports) These lines contain hints about some features related to missions:
- Squad activities (“multisquad”)
- Progress (“progress”)
- An interface (“hud”)
- A selection button (“select_button”)
Fans now assume that Respawn wants to integrate the well-known Challenges from other battle royale shooters under the name “Missions” into the recently released Battle Pass.
What are the Challenges for? In competitive games, Challenges serve to advance levels in the Battle Pass more quickly, thereby earning the rewards of the Battle Pass faster.
Currently, there are no such Challenges in Apex Legends yet.
The only way to advance in levels is through hard grinding and leveling. That is frustrating many people, as they have to play many rounds for one level.
The result is that the Battle Pass is quite unpopular, and the new Legend Octane is the real star of Season 1.
Is the leak trustworthy? Regarding earlier leaks about the Battle Pass, Respawn has already commented:
- Players should not trust leaks
- especially lines of code are often remnants of previous, planned content that didn’t make it into the game.
- Other leaks, like Octane, however, have proven to be true, including his leaked abilities.
RealApexLeaks has currently not provided any leak besides Octane that has also occurred. Apex Legends is still quite young, so many of the found contents could simply come later.
This is what fans say about it: Most fans are sure that Missions will eventually come. Respawn would have already hinted at that. Missions would be a way to counteract the negative sentiment.
However, most think that at least in Season 1, no Challenges will be coming. That sounds more like a plan for later seasons.

According to Shroud, Apex Legends has another problem:
