1. Jumpmaster

Description: Be the Jumpmaster 5 times.

How to Complete:

  • In Apex Legends, the Jumpmaster is the player who decides when and where the squad drops at the start of a match. This role is typically assigned to the last player to select their legend during the character selection screen.

  • To unlock this achievement, you need to be the Jumpmaster in 5 separate matches.

  • During legend selection, wait until the timer is nearly up to pick your legend, increasing your chances of being the last to choose and thus becoming Jumpmaster.

  • Once selected as Jumpmaster, control the drop and land your squad. Do not relinquish the role to a teammate, as it won’t count toward the achievement if you do.

Tips:

  • Coordinate with friends to have them pick their legends first, ensuring you’re the last to select.

  • Practice dropping into different locations to get comfortable with the role, though the landing spot doesn’t affect the achievement.

Reminder: You must remain the Jumpmaster for the drop to count—passing it off disqualifies that match.

2. Kill Leader

Description: Become the Kill Leader.

How to Complete:

  • The Kill Leader is the player with the most kills in a match at any given time. To unlock this achievement, you need to achieve this status at least once.

  • You must have a minimum of 3 kills and surpass any other player’s kill count in the lobby.

  • Once you become Kill Leader, the achievement unlocks—you don’t need to hold the title until the match ends.

Tips:

  • Drop into busy areas like hot zones or popular points of interest (e.g., Fragment on World’s Edge) to find more enemies early.

  • Play aggressively, focusing on eliminations rather than survival, especially in the early game.

  • Watch the kill feed to gauge how many kills the current Kill Leader has, then aim to exceed that number.

Reminder: You need at least 3 kills to qualify, even if no one else has more, so don’t stop at 1 or 2!

3. Fully Kitted

Description: Equip a fully kitted weapon.

How to Complete:

  • A fully kitted weapon is a legendary (gold) weapon that comes pre-equipped with all its optimal attachments (e.g., barrel stabilizer, extended magazine, optic). These weapons are distinct because most attachments cannot be removed.

  • Find a fully kitted weapon by:

    • Looting high-tier areas, hot zones, or care packages.

    • Checking vaults (on maps like World’s Edge) or replicators (depending on the season).

    • Picking one up from a defeated enemy.

  • Equip the weapon to your inventory to unlock the achievement—no need to use it in combat.

Tips:

  • Each season designates specific weapons as fully kitted (e.g., Kraber, Peacekeeper), so familiarize yourself with the current list.

  • Land in the hot zone (marked by a blue circle) for a higher chance of finding one early.

  • If you’re playing as Loba, use her ultimate to access more loot quickly.

Reminder: Simply picking up the weapon is enough; you don’t need to fire it or win the match.

4. Team Player

Description: Respawn a teammate.

How to Complete:

  • When a teammate is fully eliminated (not just downed), they drop a banner in their death box. You need to retrieve this banner and use it at a respawn beacon.

  • Steps:

    1. After your teammate dies, locate their death box and pick up their banner (you have 90 seconds before it expires).

    2. Find a respawn beacon (marked by green icons on the map).

    3. Interact with the beacon while holding the banner to bring your teammate back.

  • Complete this process once to unlock the achievement.

Tips:

  • Stay alert when retrieving banners or using beacons, as these actions can draw enemy attention.

  • If playing with friends, ask a teammate to die in a safe spot intentionally for an easier respawn.

Reminder: Act fast—the banner expires after 90 seconds, so don’t delay!

5. Apex Recon

Description: Win a game as a recon character.

How to Complete:

  • Recon legends specialize in gathering intel. The current recon legends are:

    • Bloodhound

    • Crypto

    • Seer

    • Vantage

  • Select one of these legends and win a match (be the last squad standing) in Battle Royale mode.

Tips:

  • Bloodhound is beginner-friendly with easy-to-use tracking abilities.

  • Use your legend’s skills (e.g., Bloodhound’s scan, Crypto’s drone) to locate enemies and gain a tactical advantage.

  • Team up with friends to boost your chances of winning.

Reminder: You only need one win with any recon legend, not all of them.

6. Apex Assault

Description: Win a game as an assault character.

How to Complete:

  • Assault legends focus on dealing damage and pushing fights. The current assault legends are:

    • Bangalore

    • Fuse

    • Ash

    • Mad Maggie

    • Ballistic

  • Pick one of these legends and win a match in Battle Royale mode.

Tips:

  • Play aggressively and coordinate with your squad to capitalize on your legend’s offensive strengths.

Reminder: One win with any assault legend is sufficient.

    • Loba

    • Conduit

  • Choose one of these legends and win a match in Battle Royale mode.

Tips:

  • Lifeline’s healing drone and care package are simple yet effective for new players.

  • Focus on keeping your squad alive and supporting them in fights.

Reminder: You only need one win with any support legend.

8. Decked Out

Description: Equip a legendary Helmet and Body Armor at the same time.

How to Complete:

  • Equip both a legendary (gold) helmet and a legendary (gold) body armor simultaneously.

  • Find legendary gear in:

    • High-tier loot zones, hot zones, or care packages.

    • Vaults (e.g., on World’s Edge).

    • Death boxes of defeated enemies.

  • Once both items are equipped, the achievement unlocks.

Tips:

  • Teammates can drop legendary items for you if they find extras.

  • Use Loba’s ultimate to loot vaults or high-tier areas more efficiently.

  • Check the hot zone at the match start for better odds.

Reminder: You don’t need to keep the gear all match—just equip them together once.

9. The Player

Description: Reach player level 50.

How to Complete:

  • Earn enough experience points (XP) through gameplay to reach level 50.

  • Gain XP by:

    • Surviving longer in matches (biggest source of XP).

    • Getting kills, assists, and revives.

    • Completing daily and weekly challenges.

Tips:

  • Play with friends for a 5% XP bonus per teammate.

  • Focus on survival and challenges rather than risky fights to maximize XP.

  • Stick to Battle Royale mode, as it’s the primary way to level up.

Reminder: This is a long-term goal that comes naturally with regular play—be patient!

    • Catalyst

  • Select one of these legends and win a match in Battle Royale mode.

Tips:

  • Pick legends you enjoy to make the grind more fun.

  • Hot-drop to engage enemies early and rack up damage.

How to Complete:

  • Win a match in Battle Royale mode with each of 8 different legends.

  • The legends can be from any class—choose ones you’re comfortable with.

  • Track your wins per legend in the “Legends” menu.

Reminder: Only Battle Royale wins count—other modes like Arenas won’t work.
