Apex Legends\u2019 Wintertide Collection Event arrived on December 6 and introduced the Winter Express LTM, the mythic Wraith Prestige skin, and a set of fresh badges to unlock. Despite these exciting features, the main attraction for the majority of the community was the new and returning winter-themed cosmetics that hit the store in the update. A lot of these OG and older skins are only available for a limited time over Christmas, so players are desperate to get their hands on them while they can. Unfortunately, all of these non-Collection Event skins are locked behind bundles that the community has slammed as \u201cawful value\u201d and \u201cgreedy\u201d. Apex players callout Respawn for \u201cgreedy\u201d skin bundles Apex Legends players have taken to the subreddit to complain about the non-Collection Event skins that are locked behind bundles, forcing them to spend over \u00a320 for a cosmetic. According to them, \u201cno one wants to pay\u201d for packs as they\u2019re \u201cawful value\u201d, so pushing players to spend more by locking Christmas skins behind bundles proves \u201cRespawn will never learn their lesson\u201d. It\u2019s clear players want the option to purchase a single skin on its own without any extra packs that push up the price. Labeling the store practices as \u201cgreedy\u201d, it\u2019s obvious the community is losing patience. Not only that, it frustrates players that a lot of these non-Collection Event skins locked in bundles are just \u201clazy\u201d recolors that come back every single year. As expected, not everyone agrees with the criticism, with some users arguing that the \u201cgame is free\u2026 I won\u2019t pay $25 for these but I\u2019ll never understand the outrage about this stuff.\u201d Either way, this debate seems to crop up with every in-game event and will likely continue until Respawn comment on the issue or change their store model. However, with cosmetics being so popular and sought-after, that seems extremely unlikely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players slam \u201cgreedy\u201d Collection Event bundles: \u201cAwful value\u201d Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have slammed the \u201cgreedy\u201d Christmas-themed skins in the store that are locked behind bundles.
