Apex Legends brings a healthy dose of customization to the battle royale table now that it’s arrived on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. With the ability to craft new skins for your favorite Legends and Weapons, you’re probably wondering how to unlock them. Here’s how to get Crafting Metals and what they’re used for in Apex Legends.

What Crafting Metals Are

First off, it’s important to note exactly what this stuff is and what it’s used for. Crafting Metals are used to purchase weapon and Legend skins, as well as other customization options for Legends such as Quips, Finishers, Banners, Trackers, and more.

How to Get Crafting Metals in Apex Legends

Currently, the only way to get Crafting Metals in Apex Legends is by having it drop from Apex Packs, which you can either earn by leveling up your Player Level, or by purchasing them with the microtransaction currency.

It’s worth noting, though, that the amount you get from an Apex Pack will depend on the rarity of the drop. For example, if you get an Epic rarity drop of Crafting Metals, you’ll get 200. On the other hand, if you get a Common drop, you’re looking at 15, instead.

We’ve broken down this information into a table for you down below. We’ll be updating this as and when we uncover the quantity earned per each rarity drop in Apex Packs.

 Crafting Metals Drop Rarity Quantity
Common 15
Rare ???
Epic 200
Legendary ???

While we know that a Season 1 Battle Pass is on the way for Apex Legends, it’s not yet available as far as we can tell. However, when this does go live, there may always be the chance that this material is one of the rewards you get for leveling it up. This is just speculation on our part for now, however.
