Apex Legends dev responds to calls for increased level cap beyond 500 Respawn\/EAApex Legends dev Jason McCord has explained why he\u2019s against just lifting the level cap from 500 to a bigger number, but hinted at having some ideas for making a change. There are plenty of goals for any Apex Legends grinder to hit when they drop into Respawn Entertainment\u2019s battle royale. You can go after the Apex Predator rank in Ranked mode, you can try and pick up every cosmetic, or you can go after the top player level of level 500. Previously, that top player level was limited to level 100, but after players kicked up a fuss about not having much else to do when they got their, Respawn lifted the cap all the way to level 500. And they added in a few goodies like weapon charms and Apex packs, too. However, many players have already gotten up to level 500 now, and want another target to aim for. Yet, it\u2019s unlikely that the Respawn devs are going to budge anytime soon. Jason McCord, the Design Director at Respawn Entertainment, responded to a question about increasing the level cap on January 18. \u201cAny chance we ever see lift on the level 500 cap?\u201d asked one curious player. \u201cSome day, maybe,\u201d McCord responded a few hours later. \u201cI\u2019m not personally convinced that making that number bigger is the best way to feel progression in the game. We have some ideas.\u201d Some day, maybe. I’m not personally convinced that making that number bigger is the best way to feel progression in the game. We have some ideas. \u2014 Jason McCord (@Monsterclip_JM) January 18, 2021 The note of \u201csome ideas\u201d might spark speculation about things like a prestige system, similar to the one that has been in Call of Duty for the longest time, coming to Apex Legends. That would give players something to strive towards, but, it can be argued that it is just similar to adding a bigger number. You\u2019d still be grinding out ranks, but you could add even more unique badges to your player card so you stand out a bit more. Either way, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what Respawn decides to do, but at least it appears as if they\u2019re aware of the calls that some fans have for a higher cap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
