Apex Legends has 28 playable Legends in Season 30: Marked, and their popularity keeps shifting as players adjust to balance changes. Here’s how every character stacks up in the latest pick-rate rankings.

Pathfinder currently leads the all-ranks figures at 12.5%, followed by Loba at 8.4% and Octane at 7.5%. These numbers show which Legends players are choosing, rather than which characters have the highest win rates.

In every season, Respawn makes changes to these legends to keep them balanced and spice things up. Likewise, the Legend adjustments throughout the season also affect the Legend pick rate.

In any case, some legends are more popular than others and usually remain at the top regardless of other alternatives.

Additionally, the pick rate of newly released legends typically remains higher. So, that does not represent their actual pick rate in most cases. So, without further ado, let’s find out the overall character pick rate in Season 29.

Most and Least Picked Legends in Season 30

Pathfinder is currently the most picked Legend at 12.5%. Loba takes second place with 8.4%, while Octane rounds out the top three at 7.5%. Together, they account for approximately 28.4% of the displayed pick-rate total.

At the other end, Ballistic has the lowest pick rate at 0.5%, followed by Crypto at 0.7% and Newcastle at 0.9%. A lower pick rate measures popularity, however, and doesn’t automatically mean a Legend is ineffective in the right squad.
