Re: As the time passes...

Hey there,

Don't worry, it's even stated on they site, that no one has a advantage over you before entering the arena.

Can players spend money in Apex Legends to receive a gameplay advantage?

No. In Apex Legends, we don’t sell any items that offer a gameplay advantage. When you enter the Ring, no player will have an advantage based on how much they have spent. Apex is supported primarily by cosmetics and new characters (which can also be earned).

Btw after level 26, the exp to level is caped on 18000 XP needed before leveling.

I hoped this answers your question.
