Becoming the best Legend in Apex Legends requires both knowledge and experience, so between playing games here’s a guide detailing how Legendary gear works.
In Apex Legends, loot is the difference between life and death. The game’s tagline reads, “If they kill you, they’re better. If you kill them, you’re better,” but it could just as easily read, “If they kill you, they’ve got better loot. If you kill them, you’ve got better loot.” But having loot is just the first step. Knowing how that loot works is the larger priority, and in Apex Legends gold Legendary loot is both the strongest and most important to understand.
In Apex Legends, Legendary Gear offers the same benefits of an Epic version of the Gear, but also provides the player a unique ability depending on the Gear type. These unique abilities can decide fights, potentially even deciding who wins or loses games.
There are four Legendary Gear pieces and their priority really depends on playstyle and Legend choice.
Each piece of Legendary Gear has its advantages but also has to be approached tactically. A Legendary Knockdown Shield’s Resurrection can literally save your game, but going down in a place where your squad can’t protect you while you Resurrect won’t be useful. Trying to take advantage of Fast Heal in a firefight could make you vulnerable. And a full shield after a finisher with Executioner is only valuable if you get the chance to use it.
Legendary Weapons and Legendary Attachments are entirely different than Legendary Gear. With Legendary Gear there’s no real reason not to pick up the upgrade and utilize it to the best of your ability. But with weapons, preference plays a much larger role in deciding what to use and what to leave behind.
Legendary weapons come in two forms. There are Legendary standard weapons and then there are two Legendary exclusive weapons. Legendary standard weapons are just the normal weapons typically found on Apex Legends‘ map, only with all of their Attachment slots filled with pre-selected “best” attachments.
