Apex Legends marketplace could solve Heirloom and loot box issues Apex Legends\u2019 Heirlooms are the most sought after items in the game, but what happens if you get one that you can\u2019t rock in the Apex Games? Here\u2019s a savvy solution. Respawn Entertainment has done the unthinkable in less than a year. After creating a battle royale which rivaled Fortnite, it has gone from strength-to-strength in recent times \u2014 with Season 3 being its most successful to-date. While Apex Legends boasts fast-paced gameplay and a fluid movement system, it\u2019s the game\u2019s character cosmetics and associated loot that often steal the spotlight. Having released four Heirloom sets thus far, there is one problem that is driving fans around the bend. Just imagine\u2026 You open your umpteenth Apex Pack and see a fiery red color bursting out of the Loot Tick, only to find that it\u2019s Lifeline\u2019s Shock Batons that take center stage, but you run Wraith as your main. Of course, this is still a fantastic addition to anyone\u2019s collection. But it just takes away from the whole experience, when you\u2019ll never really rock them inside World\u2019s Edge. Well, a savvy Apex Legends fan has come up with a very simple concept to perk up the downhearted. Reposted on the Apex Legends subreddit, one fan brought light to an idea that previously went under the radar. The crux of it is simple: introduce a function that allows players to trade-in their \u2018unwanted\u2019 Heirloom for one that\u2019s more favored. In exchange for a trade, players will also lose either up to 100,000 Legends or 1000 Apex Coins (depending on preference). While on the surface, this appears to be a canny workaround on the issue, it could take away from the rarity of Heirlooms altogether. For example, it is no secret that Wraith and Pathfinder are the most popular characters in the game. By that logic, everyone will be trading their Shock Batons or Raven\u2019s Bite for Wraith\u2019s Kunair or Pathfinder\u2019s Boxing Gloves. The net effect will be a reduced rarity for the latter, which takes away from the whole concept of Heirlooms. So what can we do to solve the \u2018issue\u2019 at hand? A trading system could indeed be the answer, but structured like a marketplace of sorts. Drawing parallels to CS:GO\u2019s much-enjoyed trading system might prove beneficial here. That way, players could negotiate trades between their peers, without taking away from the value of each Heirloom respectively. Of course, this system could be capitalized on to trade all kinds of cosmetics and loot. This would also solve the issue of countries such as Belgium being unable to open Apex Packs (i.e., they could save Legends Tokens\/Apex Coins to spend\/trade with on a marketplace). Despite the above system holding some potential value, Respawn would have to implement a sophisticated framework to support it. Perhaps a bit much too soon, considering that the game hasn\u2019t even been out a year at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
