Fastest way to rank up Apex Legends Season 2 Battle Pass \u2013 It\u2019s even harder than Season 1 Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have finally got their hands on the Season 2 battle pass, which so far looks to be a big step up from Season 1 \u2013 but it might actually be harder to reach level 100 this time around. Unlike Season 1, the new battle pass is now \u2018challenge based\u2019, which you may think will make it much easier to hit the max level with all that extra XP up for grabs. However, Respawn have adjusted other XP gaining techniques accordingly, including the basic \u2018survival time\u2019 metric, and if you do the maths Season 2 is potentially going to be a lot harder than you might have expected. Thanks to Reddit user u\/K_U who did the maths on the new battle pass, it\u2019s clear that if you don\u2019t keep up with the daily and weekly challenges in Season 2, you will fall behind in your progression significantly, perhaps even irreversibly. \u201cThe Season 2 leveling system is going to be a lot tougher than last season, and far more difficult to grind if you fall behind. Why? Progression is intentionally throttled to 10 \u201ceasy\u201d levels per week by the 54K XP wall.\u201d It\u2019s all a bit confusing, but you can read the full reddit post for a more in-depth breakdown. Essentially, once you have completed the challenges, your \u2018easy\u2019 levels (those granted by the challenges) are used up, and you\u2019ll now have to grind by virtue of match XP alone \u2013 but this has been nerfed significantly. Instead of earning approximately 6 survival XP per second (in Season 1), you\u2019ll now earn only 3 XP per second in Season 2, and the amount of XP you\u2019re aiming for is also higher. \u201cIt will take 5 hours of survival time XP per BP level (compared to 82 minutes of survival time XP per level in Season 1)\u201d, K_U explains, and if you miss any of the weekly challenges, you may never reach the top level. Season 2 battle pass: How to rank up fast If you are aiming to hit level 100, you will need to gain roughly eight battle pass levels a week, which is fine if you\u2019re doing all the challenges, but if you don\u2019t complete each and every one, the task may become insurmountable. So really, ranking up fast is pretty simple: go for the challenges \u2013 all of them. It\u2019s also important to take advantages of the regular bonuses, such as your first top 5 of the day, and your legend bonus by using a variety of characters (yes, that means giving up your main now and again, just for a game or two). Will there be bonus XP events? Presumably, yes, Respawn should throw in a couple double XP weekends or similar over the course of Season 2. So, keep your eyes peeled for that, especially if you think it\u2019s unrealistic for you to complete every challenge. One player observed that this new battle pass progression system is aimed at making it harder for \u2018grinders\u2019 to reach level 100 too easily, while also enticing more casual, infrequent players, to keep coming back so they don\u2019t fall behind. But, with the battle pass so reliant on the challenges, if you are on vacation one week, you may never be able to complete the whole thing, unless you\u2019re willing to put in some serious hours \u2013 or buy a few levels with Apex coins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
