This Pathfinder skin should actually only be available to Twitch Prime users in Apex Legends. Right now, there’s a trick to get it without Twitch.
What kind of skin is this? Recently, Respawn/EA made a deal regarding the streaming website TwitchTV clear. Those who have a Twitch Prime subscription there receive a cool “Omega Point” skin for Pathfinder for free. Additionally, there are 5 Apex Packs.
Players are now exploiting this trick: Some players confirm that you currently don’t need a Twitch account at all to secure the free loot. You just have to change one setting.
The players select “Apex Legends” in the Origin library and click on the gear icon. There, they choose “Game Properties” and then “Advanced Launch Options”. If they now enter the code “+twitch_prime_linked 1” in the Command line arguments section, the game would think you linked your Twitch Prime account with Apex Legends. Even if that’s actually not the case.
Upon the next login, the loot would then be available in the game.
This trick was shared by CS:GO community creator Adam_THR on Twitter with his followers.
Does it really work? Players confirm on Twitter that the trick actually works and they received the promised loot from the Twitch Prime gift.
Can you get banned for this? At this time, that’s unclear. One thing is certain: the “normal” method, where you connect your Twitch Prime account with Origin, is safe.
How to get the Twitch loot for Apex Legends in the “normal” way, you can see here.
How long will the trick last? This workaround will probably be fixed quickly as soon as the developers have a solution for it. It is not expected that the trick will work for long.
Update: Currently there are server issues with Apex Legends – They are keeping you trapped in the loading screen.
In Apex Legends, there’s now the first new weapon, and players are excited about it:
