APEX Legends is one of the most popular free-to-play hero shooters, but there are always drawbacks to this model. For Apex Legends, this means that most people have to work hard to earn the characters that they can use in the game. 1 Ash and a new skin can be picked up for free Credit: EA / Epic Games However, you can now grab a free character and skin for Apex Legends with no cost and no grinding.

From Thursday, November 7, 2024, and Thursday, November 15, 2024, Apex Legends players can grab the character Ash and a Burning Chrome Epic skin for her. There is a catch to this, however, as you need to play Apex Legends via the Epic Games Store launcher in order to redeem your free character. However, Apex Legends does feature cross-progression, so if you unlock Ash and her skin on Epic Games Store, you’ll be able to use her on your platform of choice.

Then you need to sign in to Apex Legends using your usual EA account that you use on your preferred platform. You can then claim the Ash Free Unlock Bundle via the store page either on the Epic Games Store website or through the launcher.

Turn to Ash Generally, I’m against the idea of locking certain heroes behind progression and even new players should be able to access every playstyle. Monetisation in free-to-play games should be exclusive to cosmetics to prevent a pay-to-win environment. While it is a little bit of work, this will offer people access to a character that newbies usually couldn’t use, which is a consumer-friendly solution to this.
