Apex Legends undoubtedly has one of the finest collections of skins in any battle royale game that is out there right now in 2021. Unsurprisingly, some of these skins are very rare and highly sought after by the community.
As Apex Legends is a free-to-play game, Respawn decided to use the ever-popular “freemium” model to monetize the game. Meaning Apex Legends doesn’t have any barrier to entry and players don’t actually have to spend a dime in the game if they don’t want to.
However, they can spend real-world money to purchase cosmetic items such as skins to customize their play session in the game. Since the game has been out for a while, some of these weapon or character skins have become really sought after by the community mainly due to their rarity and unique design.

Usually, Respawn releases two random recolors of the four basic legendary characters or weapon skins every week. Following that time period, Respawn removes these skins from the storefront. So, only players who collected these skins within that short time period have them in their inventory.
Consequently, after some time, these skins become really rare and highly coveted. Here we’ll talk about 10 of the rarest skins in the game in 2021.

10 Rarest skins in Apex Legends
Wraith’s Airship Assassin (Requires Void Specialist)
When it comes to the rarest skin in the game, Wraith’s Airship Assassin has to be at the top of the list for every Wraith one trick. This dark brown recolor of the original Void Specialist skin has been one of the most sought-after skin, according to many players. For a long time, it was only available in the hands of elite few players.
Pathfinder’s Green Machine (Requires The Aviator)
This watermelon-colored green and red skin is very popular among Pathfinder players in the game. Since this skin came out a long time ago, very few players actually owned this recolor. This one is a must-collect item for any Pathfinder main.
Octane’s Red Shift(Requires El Diablo)
The red variant of the basic El Diablo legendary Octane skin is on the same level in terms of exclusivity as Wraith’s Airship Assassin. Speed junkies in the Apex Legends community consider this to be one of the rarest Octane skin in the game.
Mirage’s Dark Artist(Requires Ghost Machine)
Mirage’s Dark Artist is currently one of the rarest skin in the game right now in 2021. As this dark recolor of the basic Ghost Machine skin hasn’t made a return to the store yet, this is currently very rare among the player base.
