Apex Legends has an item called a Treasure Pack, and players often wonder what they are. There is really no explanation once you pick it up and it gives you no in-game advantage, which makes it equally as confusing. The one thing you should know is that it is entirely in your benefit to pick them up anytime you see them.
These Treasure Packs are quite mysterious, but they don't have to be. There is a simple explanation for what it is and what it can do for you in the game. You might also find yourself searching for this item once you understand the benefits it gives you in Apex Legends!
Updated on May 18, 2021 by Rebecca O'Neill: Apex Legends Season 9 has just begun, and with it has come a few changes. First, players saw the addition of a new legend named Valkyrie who can take you to new heights. There is also a new game mode called Arenas, where two teams of three battle it out in smaller maps for victory.
These both add a new dynamic to the gameplay that has attracted an even larger fanbase since it was announced. Now all you need is to collect your Treasure Packs so you can blow the competition out of the water.
What Is A Treasure Pack?
A Treasure Pack is a lootable item in ranked, duos, and trios within Apex Legends matches that were added back in Season 5. They will pop out of Supply Bins and land at your feet — they have a reddish tint to them and look like a medium-sized container.
You used to have to collect them in order to unlock the comic book pages, but after complaints from the fan base, they changed the dynamic of these packs. Now, the comic book pages about Fuse and his abilities will be released to everyone and the Treasure Packs will serve a different purpose, even though Apex Legends is still dying a slow death.
How Do You Open A Treasure Pack?
The Treasure Packs will automatically open on their own once you head back to the lobby. You can view your progress by clicking on the Mayhem Season 8 tab at the top, then clicking on the tab labeled Comics.
You will see the list of comic pages at the top, and below it, you will see how many Treasure Packs you have opened.
What Do Treasure Packs Do?
The biggest question that everyone often wonders is what Treasure Packs do for you after you collect them. The answer is that they give you a variety of rewards, different from those of the gold MRVN arm, that are beneficial to everyone who plays Apex Legends. You can always check while in the lobby to see what rewards are coming up, and there are 60 Treasure Packs in all for you to collect.
A few of the rewards you can obtain through Treasure Packs include:
- Crafting Materials
- Battle Pass Stars (collecting ten will unlock a level of the Battle Pass)
- Weapon Charms
- Apex Packs
What's The Catch?
There is a catch when it comes to collecting these Treasure Packs — you can only collect one per day. So even if you play eight games and come across six Treasure Packs it means that you can only pick up one. However, it does give you the option to pay to catch up in case you don't find a Treasure Pack in any of the matches you play in a day.
While this is a bummer, players are excited that it is no longer tied to the comics. They are also relatively easy to find and it usually only takes a game or two before you come across one, even when smurfing players keep killing you.
