Apex Legends Player Level cap raised to 500 in December

The Apex Legends Player Level cap will be raised to 500 as part of progression changes in December, developer Respawn has confirmed.

Respawn took to a new update to advise that the game’s Player Level cap will be increased from 100 to 500, and as a result, “XP required to hit level 100 has been reduced by approximately 5% to smooth out per level XP increases.”

As part of the changes, players will not earn 199 Apex Packs by reaching level 500, as follows:

  • Level 2 – 20: One pack every level
  • Level 22 – 300: One pack every two levels
  • Level 305 – 500: One pack every five levels
  • You will continue to earn 600 Legend Tokens per level
  • Apex Packs rewards will be retroactive

Players will also receive a Player Level Gun Charm every 100 player levels.

Apex Legends is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
