The gaming community is currently buzzing with debates over the Apex Legends and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth crossover event, which has stirred controversy due to its high microtransaction costs. The event allows players to purchase special cosmetic items, but the pricing strategy is causing some uproar. With individual event packs priced at 1,000 Apex Coins (approximately $10), the expense for garnering all event items can soar to 29,000 Apex Coins, around $290 in total. The steep cost of the Milestone Rewards, including a Death Box skin and Heirloom Buster Sword R5, has left players astounded and somewhat frustrated. This makes the crossover one of the most expensive events in Apex Legends history, leading to significant fan dissatisfaction.

Is it possible to get the new Apex Legends crossover event items for free?

Although it is theoretically possible to obtain some items for free through gameplay, the chances are very slim; and for the full set, players would need to spend a hefty sum on microtransactions as the event's design heavily incentivizes purchases.

Apex Legends, developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, is a free-to-play battle royale game that has grown significantly in popularity since its release in February 2019. The game is well-known for its unique character abilities, strategic gameplay, and engaging seasonal events, which frequently include limited-time cosmetics and rewards. These events often involve collaborations with popular franchises, but the latest crossover with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth stands out due to the associated high cost of participation.
