Hey everyone! I’m Geoff Harrison and I’m a Senior Product Manager on Apex Legends. We made a series of improvements to the challenge system in Season 7 to make Battle Pass progression more streamlined and rewarding.
STARS FILL BATTLE PASS LEVELS
Battle Pass progress is now awarded as Stars (or a full Battle Pass level) as opposed to CP. Each star is 1/10th of a level, and each star fills in a slot on the star meter. When the meter is full, the level is awarded and the meter is reset. This makes it much easier to view partial progress toward the next level.
NEW CHALLENGE TRACKER
The new challenge tracker shows challenges sorted into categories such as dailies, weeklies and event. The challenges closest to completion are prioritized in the list. This makes it much easier to quickly decide which challenges to work toward without leaving the lobby.
NEW END OF MATCH SUMMARY
The end of match summary has been improved to surface key challenge information more clearly. It should now be much easier to understand how each match contributes to Battle Pass progress.
NEW OBJECTIVES AND REWARDS
There are new challenge objectives and rewards to create a more varied and rewarding experience:
- There are no more recurring Weekly Challenges, but those rewards have been rolled into the revamped Daily Challenges.
- Unique Weekly Challenges can still be completed at any time during the season. They are very similar in terms of objectives and rewards, but difficulty is now more consistent.
- The XP Challenge now awards 1 star for each 10,000XP earned. The premium Battle Pass boosts now increase progress by up to 50% by boosting how much XP gets counted for the challenge. The boosts do not increase the underlying XP gains.
