Questions about 'ultimate+' in Battle Pass.

Hello, I'm a player from Korea who really enjoys playing Apex Legends.

I'm considering purchasing the “Ultimate+” bundle for the upcoming season’s Battle Pass because the limited edition legendary skin looks amazing. However, this is my first time even thinking about buying an “Ultimate+” bundle, so there are many things I’m not sure about. That’s why I’d like to ask a few questions:

1. On the product description page, it says:
“Exclusivity period for these skin variants ends 1 year from the start of the Battle Pass Split.”
Does this mean that even if I purchase the “Ultimate+” bundle and obtain the limited legendary skin, I can only use it for one year after purchase? Or does this sentence mean something else?

2. Since the price is not cheap, I’m thinking of leveling up my Battle Pass to level 50 first and then deciding whether to purchase the “Ultimate+” bundle afterward.
If I do it this way, will there be any issues using the “Ultimate+” bundle after buying it at that point?

Is there any difference between buying the bundle before leveling up and after reaching level 50?
Also, just to confirm—there are no extra levels that are exclusive to the “Ultimate+” bundle, right?

For reference, I currently own all Legends.

I wrote this message using a translation tool, so please understand if there are any awkward sentences or small typos.

I look forward to your response. Thank you!

This means that for one whole year, the skin will be exclusive to those who had bought the Ultimate+ Battle Pass. After a year has passed, anyone else will be able to purchase the skin from the Apex in-game store as it will no longer be exclusive to those who had bought the Ultimate+ Battle Pass for that season.

No, there shouldn't be any issues buying the Ultimate+ Battle Pass after hitting level 50 in the Battle Pass as you will still be granted the instant unlocked rewards and will earn any locked Ultimate+ rewards, (assuming you had hit the required levels in the Battle Pass to unlock those rewards).

Rewards that will be instantly unlocked upon purchase are highlighted in blue:
Buy Apex Coins and Battle Passes on the Apex Legends Official Store
Note: The 2 exclusive² Legendary Skin variants and the additional 10 Exotic Shards are unlockable via the Battle Pass, (which means that these two items are not instantly unlocked after buying the Ultimate+ Battle Pass unless you had progressed far enough into the Battle Pass to have unlocked them).

No, there is no difference between buying before or after hitting level 50, (just remember that the Battle Pass' rewards track is finished at level 60, so if you hit level 51, (or beyond), you would be a higher level than what is required to finish the Battle Pass).

The only levels you will get from the Ultimate+ Battle Pass is highlighted in blue, (which will only be 10 extra levels):

If by "levels", you meant "legends", then no, all legends will be unlockable by any player with, (or without), any version of the Battle Pass.

Hello. Thank you for your response. I’d like to ask a few additional questions for further clarification.
1. Regarding the “2 exclusive² Legendary Skin variants”, does this mean that after one year has passed since the end of the split in which they were originally sold, they might become available in the in-game store for separate purchase?
Also, have there been any past cases where exclusive² Legendary Skin variants were actually released in the store after more than a year had passed since the split ended?
If these skins do become purchasable in the store after a year and there’s no real disadvantage to waiting, wouldn’t that mean there’s no need to buy the “Ultimate+” bundle during the split?
The reason I ask is because, among all the rewards included in the “Ultimate+” bundle, I’m mainly interested in the 2 exclusive² Legendary Skin variants. I’m not particularly interested in the other rewards.
2. In your response, you mentioned:
“The only levels you will get from the Ultimate+ Battle Pass is highlighted in blue, (which will only be 10 extra levels):”
Could you please explain what this means more clearly?
Does it mean that purchasing the “Ultimate+” bundle gives you 10 Battle Pass levels instantly?
Or does it mean that you’ll be able to unlock additional levels beyond level 60 (up to 70) only if you have the “Ultimate+” bundle?
I’m asking again because I’ve been checking translations through multiple websites, but some parts of the response were difficult to fully understand.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

That is correct.

네, 맞아요.

csj711 wrote:

So far, not yet.

Season 22 was the first season to feature two exclusive² Legendary Skin variants, (which had its first split on August 6th and its second split on September 17th).

> Apex Legends™: Battle Pass Updates

아직 아닙니다.

22시즌은 두 가지 독점² 전설 스킨 변형이 등장한 첫 번째 시즌이었습니다(첫 번째는 8월 6일에, 두 번째는 9월 17일에 출시).

If you see no value in the instant unlocked rewards, you can wait to buy the skins later, (however the skins may be full price, in which you'll find yourself spending twice as much for both Battle Pass skins, (as in, if the pass is $20 USD and so is one of the skins, you will be looking at $40 USD for both skins)).

보상을 바로 잠금 해제하는 것이 가치 없다고 생각되면 나중에 스킨을 구매할 때까지 기다릴 수 있습니다(다만 스킨이 정가인 경우 배틀 패스 스킨 두 개를 모두 구매하는 데 드는 비용이 두 배입니다(예: 배틀 패스 가격이 20달러이고 스킨 가격이 20달러인 경우 둘 다 구매하는 데 드는 비용은 40달러입니다)).

Again, you can choose to wait, but it might be a better deal to buy the pass instead.

다시 말하지만, 기다리는 것을 선택할 수도 있지만, 대신 패스를 사는 것이 더 나은 거래가 될 수도 있습니다.

Sure thing!

You will only get 10 extra Battle Pass levels from buying the Ultimate+ Battle Pass as shown here:

물론입니다!

Ultimate+ 배틀 패스를 구매하시면 배틀 패스 레벨이 10만큼만 추가로 상승합니다. (아래 그림 참조):

Correct, it will give you 10 Battle Pass levels instantly, (and the Battle Pass can go up to level 100, but that only upgrades the Battle Pass' season badge for that split, (which if you see no value in a season badge, you don't have to worry about it!)).

Here's an example of Season 25's season badges, (both of these are the level 80 version):

네, 배틀 패스 레벨 10을 즉시 획득할 수 있습니다. (배틀 패스는 최대 레벨 100까지 올릴 수 있지만, 해당 시즌의 배틀 패스 시즌 배지만 업그레이드됩니다. (시즌 배지에 가치가 없다고 생각되시면 걱정하지 않으셔도 됩니다!))

시즌 25 시즌 배지 예시는 다음과 같습니다. (두 배지 모두 레벨 80 버전입니다.)

Hello, and thank you for your response!
Sorry for the delayed reply — things suddenly got quite busy on my end.
I just wanted to clarify:
If I level up the Battle Pass to level 50 during a split and then purchase the “Ultimate+” bundle, my Battle Pass level will go up to 60.
After that, even if I continue leveling up, there aren’t any additional “Ultimate+” exclusive rewards — only the Ultimate badge gets upgraded. Is that correct?
Also, is there a specific level range that is exclusive to “Ultimate+”?

Yes

There are no additional rewards, only the seasonal split badges that any player with/without a pass can upgrade.

추가 보상은 없으며, 패스가 있거나 없는 모든 플레이어가 업그레이드할 수 있는 시즌별 분할 배지만 있습니다.

csj711 wrote:

No exclusive levels.

Every version of the pass caps at level 100, but level 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 levels up the season split badge.

전용 레벨은 없습니다.

모든 버전의 패스는 레벨 100으로 제한되지만, 시즌 스플릿 배지는 레벨 60, 70, 80, 90, 100까지 올릴 수 있습니다.
