Legendary Hunt challenges and rewards list
The Legendary Hunt Challenges are now available, and they're very low-key - although there are at least some good rewards to be had for completing them!
- Get 1 Top 5 in any game - Legendary Hunt Banner Badge (Epic)
- Win 2 games - Tamed Beast Triple Take Skin (Legendary)
- Get 1 Top 5 in Apex Elite queue - The Wolfpack G7 Scout Skin (Rare)
- Unlock Premium Battle Pass Level 1 - Honored Prey R-301 Skin (Legendary)
- Unlock Premium Battle Pass Level 15 - Night Terror Wraith Skin (Legendary)
- Finish in the Top 5 five times in any queue (consecutive or nonconsecutive) - Master of the Hunt Bloodhound Skin (Epic)
Note that the two Legend skins - Night Terror Wraith and Master of the Hunt Bloodhound - aren't actually listed in the in-game set of challenges but are on the official Apex Legends site.
The rest are all tracked fairly obviously in-game, on the main home page. The only thing you might have questions about is the Apex Elite queue - to access that, you simply have to place in the top 5 of any game. That will put you in the Apex Elite queue for your next game. Get in the top 5 during that, and you'll stay in the Elite queue, place lower than top 5 and you'll drop back out again. Simple enough!
Here's a quick gallery showing the rewards - that image above is the Bloodhound skin, and here's a look at the Wraith one.
