Apex Legends players slam \u201cshameless\u201d Celestial Sunrise collection event reward Respawn EntertainmentThe Celestial Sunrise collection event\u2019s final reward has been revealed, and Apex Legends players aren\u2019t impressed with the \u201cshameless\u201d Peacekeeper skin players get for buying out the entire event. The price players are expected to pay to finish out a collection event is a steep one. These events typically come with 24 items in total, making the cost of getting everything via chests around $160 USD. Considering the most you can spend on Apex coins at once is $100, players will have to purchase multiple currency packs to buy out the event. However, the 24 items players get for completing the event paired with highly sought after heirlooms make these events worth the cost for many Apex Legends fans. The upcoming Celestial Sunrise collection event\u2019s reward is a reactive Peacekeeper skin instead of a shiny new heirloom, one that closely mirrors a pre-existing battle pass skin. Players aren\u2019t too happy with the asking price for the skin, calling it a \u201cshameless\u201d event reward. Apex Legends Celestial Sunrise collection event causes backlash Collection events have been a massive part of Apex Legends\u2019 content cycle. On top of bringing themed skins that celebrate the event, they often come with Limited-Time game modes and other fresh content that brings something for everyone to enjoy. And, while the price of getting your hands on something like an heirloom is steep, it\u2019s worth it in the eyes of many players. Especially if it\u2019s for one of your favorite legends. But the new Reactive Peacekeeper skin hasn\u2019t seen the same level of satisfaction from players, leading many to point out that it\u2019s very similar to a previous battle pass reward while arguing that it isn\u2019t worth the asking price. For comparison\u2019s sake, here\u2019s the original Season 3 battle pass skin, \u2018Frostbite\u2019, next to the new weapon skin. They have the same ironsights and frame, and players have assumed it\u2019ll have the same 3-tiered progression as the Frostbite skin where more and more spikes get added to the weapon as you get kills. Even if it isn\u2019t a direct recolor, the two skins are very close visually. Reddit wasn\u2019t kind to this announcement, with players immediately recognizing the skin from Apex Legends\u2019 early days. Reddit user fairlyhurtfoyer summed up Apex players\u2019 frustrations with monetization with a comment discussing the progression of collection event rewards. \u201cFirst it was heirlooms for $160. Expensive, but fair enough, those are unique items for each legend. Then, we got \u2018progressive\u2019 legend skins sold as mythics. Also $160, and another way for Respawn to expand and have more CE every season. There was more backlash. So now, naturally, we get a recolor of a reactive Peacekeeper skin that was given out in the Battle Pass many seasons ago (S3).\u201d This user also mentioned that they wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see heirloom recolors at this point, followed by another redditor discussing the rumors that a Wraith heirloom recolor is up next. The comments on the Celestial Sunrise megathread are filled with users complaining about the current state of the game, whether it be complaints about server issues or frustration with the event itself. One user went as far as calling Respawn\u2019s upcoming event \u201cblatantly shameless\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
