Apex Legends rarity guide for attachments, shield and more MicrosoftApex Legends has a tonne of equipment and attachments scattered across its huge map, so we thought we\u2019d put together a guide to help you understand which color rarities are much more effective than others in battle. Much like other popular battle royale games, Apex Legends has brought in its own color-coding system for many different items and getting used to all of the free-to-play game\u2019s new features can take some time. Knowing just how powerful the equipment you\u2019re holding or attachment you\u2019re using is going will help you out a lot in combat and this guide will put you on the right path to picking up some victories and dominating your opponents. Getting to know the rarities The four main brackets of rarity are: Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary \u2013 with Common items found all over the King\u2019s Canyon map, while the other rarer items can be picked up in Apex Packs as you level up \u2013 or if you decide to purchase them with Apex Coins, the in-game currency. Common items are gray, Rare are blue, Epic are purple and Legendary are gold \u2013 and that\u2019s in rank order, with the latter being the most powerful. For those that have played Fortnite, this will be slightly easier to get to grips with than beginners, who may need more guidance. Main attachments What do you get from the main attachments in the game, when they\u2019re Common, Rare and Epic? Well, let\u2019s take a look at the differences. Do Legendary give you the upper hand? If you\u2019re still unsure about the difference between different rarities and colors, one of Respawn Entertainment\u2019s designers Chad Armstrong recently posted an explanation to Twitter. \u201cGold equipment has the same stats as Purple equipment, but with a bonus perk\u201d he explained. #ApexLegends Pro Tip: Gold equipment has the same stats as Purple equipment, but with a bonus perk: Helmet- Faster Tacticals and Ultimates Armor- Refill shields after an execution Backpack- Health and shield consumables take half as long to use KO Shield \u2013 One-Time Self Revive\u2014 Chad Armstrong (@ShishkaTweets) February 6, 2019 Impact of Optic attachments While Armstrong describes the differences between the rarity of equipment in the game, getting to know which attachments work best for your weapons will give you a big boost. Below you can find a list of the Optic attachments that can be found in Apex Legends, as well as the impact they can have on your weapon. 1x Holo \u2013 All – 1x-2x Variable Holo \u2013 All – 1x HCOG (Classic) \u2013 All – 2x HCOG (Bruiser) \u2013 All – 2x-4x Variable AOG \u2013 Snipers, LMGs, AR, SMGs – 3x HCOG (Ranger) \u2013 All – 4x-8x Variable Sniper \u2013 Sniper Rifle – 4x-10x Digital Sniper Threat \u2013 Sniper – 6x Sniper \u2013 Sniper – However, that\u2019s not all. There is also a number of \u2018Hop-Up\u2019 attachments which can be used to have a pretty useful effect on your weapon, too. Devotion \u2013 Reduces your spin-up time – Digital Threat \u2013 Shotgun, SMGs, Pistol – Longbow \u2013 Increases headshot damage – Peacekeeper \u2013 Reduces projectile spread – Prowler \u2013 Switch between fire modes – Triple Take \u2013 Reduces projectile spread – Wingman \u2013 Increases headshot damage – With speculation building about a $50,000 tournament potentially just around the corner for Apex Legends, both competitive and casual players will be looking to get up to speed with all of the game\u2019s features in order to be ready to compete \u2013 if the opportunity arises. Which other items are rarer than others? These rarities span across a much wider span than just weapons, however, and below you can also see which of the other obtainable items can be found in other colors: Banner Frames \u2013 Common, Rare, Legendary – Banner Poses \u2013 Rare, Epic – Banner Stat Trackers \u2013 Common, Rare – Crafting Metal \u2013 Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary – Intro Quips \u2013 Common, Rare – Kill Quips \u2013 Common – Legend Skins \u2013 Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary – Legend Finishers \u2013 Legendary – Weapon Skins \u2013 Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary – These cosmetics can also fall under the special \u2018heirloom\u2019 category of item that you have a one in 500 chance of finding in an Apex Crate. However, if you have the cash, buying 500 crates will guarantee you a character\u2019s heirloom set once you hit open on crate number 500.
