How do I unlock new characters in Apex Legends?

There are two ways to unlock new characters in Apex Legends. The first is through Legend tokens. You’ll earn Legend tokens as you complete matches and level up your player profile.

The only other way to unlock new characters in Apex Legends is through Apex Coins, which are bought using real-world money.

Out of the gate, all new players have access to six Legends: Bangalore, Gibraltar, Wraith, Lifeline, Pathfinder and Bloodhound. Unlocking additional legends beyond these six requires either 12,000 Legend Tokens or approximately 750 Apex Coins.

To coincide with the launch of the game's first battle pass (called Wild Frontier), Respawn have also added a seventh Legend to the game: Octane.
