‘I have to literally gamble’: Apex players furious about Shadow Society’s ‘gacha’ mechanic

Apex’s latest collection event, Shadow Society, has finally dropped, bringing all new legend and weapon cosmetics, alongside the first-ever Artifact heirloom weapon. However, the limited-time shop is already drawing criticism for its singular method of obtaining event items.

Multiple social media posts across Reddit and X, formerly Twitter, have popped up after Shadow Society’s launch, with all of them heavily criticizing the ‘gacha’ mechanic associated with the event packs and all obtainable skins and items. For the first time in Apex history, none of the items can be obtained with Apex coins or Crafting Materials. Instead, all items will randomly drop from any event packs earned or purchased during the event, leaving players completely at the mercy of luck for obtaining their favorite skin in the collection.
