While the Store normally offers an alternative purchase method with Apex Coins for items that can either be crafted with Crafting Metals or be found in Apex Packs, since Season 10 Collection Event and Thematic Event items may also appear, along with Store exclusive items that are not tied to any event.
In the past, a Store Takeover would've happened as a result of a minor event, where items tied to such event would replace the standard structure of the "Featured" section of the Store. Since Season 11, instead of a Store Takeover happening, a Specials section opens, thus allowing the Featured section to cycle through normally.
However, during some Store sales such as Recolor Stores, the "Featured" section may still be overridden to display only the cosmetics tied to the sale.
Starting with Season 14, a Monthly Store was added, featuring rotation monthly specials.
Featured[]
The Store's main section, called Featured, is split into two subcategories: Featured and Limited-Time. The Featured section updates weekly at 02:00:00 UTC (GMT+0), while the Limited-Time section updates twice per week.
The Featured section features four slots that can be occupied by Legendary Skins, Weapon Charms, Holosprays, or bundles. The cost of the bundles depends on which and how many items the bundle contains, with an added discount that is adjusted accordingly if one or more items from the bundle are already in possession. Bundles that offer a Skin plus Apex Packs are made unavailable if the Skin is already owned. The Limited-Time category offers two Legendary Skins (that are otherwise craftable) costing 1,800 each, plus a recolor for each of the two Skins which can be purchased with 10,500 or 1,800 as long as the original item is owned.

Launch Bundles[]
Since Season 7, for the first two weeks of a new Season, a Launch Bundle is offered for 3,000. Launch Bundles unlock the newly introduced Legend and contain a Legendary Skin for them, a Legendary Weapon Skin, and an epic item.
The Apex Packs section allows the purchasing of Apex Packs. One Pack costs 100, and they can either be bought singularly or in groups of 10. They can also be opened in that section as well as the lobby's main menu.
Heirloom Sets are bundles of three cosmetic items that contain a Melee Weapon Skin, an Intro or Kill Quip, and a Banner Pose.
Prestige Skins are Mythic-quality Legend Skins which can be "evolved" through challenges whose tracking can be toggled on/off, and can also be completed at any time. Unlocking the final tier of a Prestige Skin will also unlock a Finisher which can only be performed when that skin is equipped.
Items offered in the Mythic Store cost 150 Heirloom Shards.
The first recolors ever released in the Store were Total Eclipse and The Blue Dragon, for the Prowler Burst PDW and G7 Scout respectively, on February 13, 2019.
Therefore, the Prowler and G7 are the weapons that got a recolor in the shortest amount of time, after just 9 days.
Wraith is the Legend that got a recolor in the shortest amount of time: Airship Assassin on February 23, 2019, after 19 days.
Octane is the Legend released after the game's launch that got a recolor in the least amount of time: Red Shift on April 20, 2019, after 32 days.
Loba is the Legend that got a recolor after the highest amount of time: Rum Runner on July 27, 2021, after 441 days.
Perfect IllusionMirage is currently the Legend recolor that took the highest amount of time to be released: present in the game's files since the game's launch, it was released on August 24, 2021, after 932 days.
Focus FireMozambique Shotgun is currently the weapon recolor that took the highest amount of time to be released: present in the game's files since Season 3, it was released on May 17, 2022, after 959 days.
Mirage and the Devotion LMG currently have the highest amount of recolors, tied at six.
When Ocean SprayAlternator SMG and Pole PositionPathfinder were first released, they could've been acquired without owning their required skin, effectively making them free. In both cases, this was fixed shortly after.
Rarely, when a recolor comes back, it might not require the same skin it used to when it first got released. It's not clear if it's intended or a mistake, due to Respawn not always fixing the requirements if this happens. Also, some recolors seem to have their requirements swapped:
Holeshot Hotshot Octane looking similar to The Victory Lap rather than Gold Rush, its required skin;
Masked StorytellerCrypto having the same mask design as Rising Phoenix rather than The Masked Dancer, its required skin;
The Blue Dragon G7 lacks the recolor symbol in the Loadout.
Folk Hero Mirage is currently the rarest recolor to date, being last available on February 8, 2020 and has never made a return since then.
