Respawn finally confirmed that they are going to increase the Apex Legends level cap to 2000 in Season 14.
Like other FPS titles, Apex Legends also offers an in-game level system. Players can advance through rank by playing the game and earning XP. When the game was released, players could only reach 100 levels playing the game.
However, as the game aged, Respawn increased the level cap to 500 because it was nothing more than a child’s play, even for newbies to reach 100 levels effortlessly. They also added more free rewards, including Apex Packs, as the level progressed.
The game celebrated its third year anniversary in February 2022. Most Apex players who spent an average amount of time in the game have hit the max 500 level by now. Even the players who started playing Apex legends later have easily managed to reach max level.
Apex Legends does not offer a similar system to Call of Duty‘s prestige rank, where players can go well beyond their maximum level. As a result, Apex players need to stay at the 500 level no matter what. Not to mention, the game does not provide free rewards after reaching 500 levels, so it is also discouraging for many.
Level Cap Increasing to 2000
A previous leak from a prominent data miner called SomeoneWhoLeaks found two level badges in the game, suggesting an increase in the current level cap. According to SWL, there are two level badges following two respective legend themes: Octane & Lifeline.
As it was just a leak, there was no guarantee when Respawn would increase the level cap in the game. However, Respawn recently announced Season 14, and in that, Respawn finally confirmed that they are going to increase the level cap in the following Season.
According to the early news, players can now reach level 2000. However, the level-up system will be similar to the COD prestige system. Meaning, that instead of reaching level 2000 directly, players will be able to reach level 500 three additional times.
It is huge news for Apex Legends players as players can now receive a guaranteed heirloom if they reach level 2000 without spending a single penny into the game. Players can get up to 544 packs only by leveling up from 1 to 2000 levels.
