Apex Legends' First New Season 2 Challenges Revealed

Season 2 of Apex Legends is now officially underway on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and a lot has changed in Respawn's battle royale game. Not only is there a new playable character, the science genius Wattson, there's a new Battle Pass to purchase, which means a load of new rewards to unlock.

Unlike Season 1's Battle Pass, Season 2's works much more like Fortnite's Battle Pass, offering a regular stream of challenges to complete as the season progresses. Clearing these tasks will help level your Battle Pass up, which in turn will allow you to unlock this season's new skins, emotes, loading screens, and other cosmetic rewards.

While the general gist of the Battle Pass is similar to Fortnite, the new Season 2 challenges will work a little differently. Like in Epic's battle royale game, Apex Legends Battle Pass holders will have access to seven new challenges each week. However, three of these tasks will raise your Battle Pass by one full level when completed. On top of that, there will be three recurring challenges every week, as well as three random challenges (pulled from a pool of 200) to complete each day.

Season 2's first weekly set of challenges is now live, and they're all fairly self-explanatory, so you should be able to complete them with a little persistence. The three that will level your Battle Pass up once completed ask you to deal 7,500 damage with assault rifles and finish in the top three using either Bloodhound, Lifeline, or Wraith. There's also a multi-step challenge that begins by having you to land in Relay. The remaining challenges run the gamut from getting 35 knockdowns to looting five care packages; you can see the full list below.

Apex Legends Season 2, Week 1 Challenges

Land in Relay (step 1 of 4) -- +1 BP Level

Deal 7,500 damage with assault rifles -- +1 BP Level

Finish in the top 3 as Bloodhound, Lifeline, or Wraith -- +1 BP Level

Get 25 kills -- 6,000 Stars

Loot 5 care packages -- 6,000 Stars

Get 35 knockdowns -- 6,000 Stars

Outlive 200 opponents -- 6,000 Stars

That isn't all that's new in Season 2 of Apex Legends. The game's map, Kings Canyon, has also undergone some changes, and Titanfall 2's L-Star has been added as a Legendary Gold energy-based weapon. The more competitive Ranked Leagues are also now available. You can read more about Apex Legends Season 2 in our roundup.
