Treasure Pack Rewards

Playing Duos, Trios, or Ranked Leagues, players can find Treasure Packs in-game, once per day (players can also purchase all the available Treasure Packs for 25).

Treasure Pack rewards vary with the only constant being that every four packs give out an epic Charm. 2 are given out usually after every other pack while 15 or an Apex Pack are usually four packs apart.

All of the rewards need a total of 60 Treasure Packs to unlock.

After all the Treasure Packs are collected, the player gets two rewards: an Gold Rush R-99 SMG Skin and an Apex Pack.

• Today is the day I finally become famous.
• Last night, with no warning, Olympus’ computerized terraformation systems initialized the shift of multiple sectors of the floating city to allow a fleet of fifteen ships to dock, starting with the Icarus. Within minutes, impossibly large Medusa Vines broke through the ships' hulls and overtook the city... destroying power grids, water mains, and even buildings by sunrise.
• It shouldn’t matter. The city’s been uninhabited for years and has only been used as an arena for the Apex Games… until this week.
• The Syndicate has opened Olympus to the public for a dedication ceremony to honor the Legend, Pathfinder, for his heroism upon learning he saved the Outlands. Thousands of innocent people have come from all over to attend this celebration of life... just in time for death to come calling.
• My name is Angela Fazia… and today, I make history....
• Fazia: "Angela Fazia, Investigative Journalist"
• Rasheed: "Grace Rasheed. Director of Security, Ms. Fazia. The Icarus is this way."
• Fazia: "These aren't your average Medusa Vines."
• Rasheed: "Fire, bullets, even liquid nitrogen - don't do a damn thing. They're indestructible and they just keep growing."
• Rasheed: "Follow me..."
• Fazia: "Who's the owner?"
• Rasheed: "Don't know. Serial numbers were scratched off."
• Fazia: "Crew?"
• Rasheed: "Dead."
• Fazia: "How?"
• Rasheed: "Does my badge say Lead Mortician?"
• Rasheed: "I'm out. If the floor starts to give, I'd run."
• Fazia: "You're leaving me?!"
• Fazia: "What's more important than this?"
• Rasheed: "My job. Lock up when you leave"
• Fazia: "C'mon, Ang. It's just a tree, that's all."
• Fazia: "And this is just a flower"
• Fazia: "And this is... this is..."
• Fazia: "New paint job, scratched off serial numbers, no cams... someone's covering up the identity of the fleet's owner!"
• What's so important about today? Isn't it obvious?
• Today's the day I die.
• Today I stop being Angela, and I get a new name...
• Fazia: "Why can't--"
• Fazia: "I--breat--"
• ...Patient Zero.
• I'm just the first of many.
• A fatal allergen infects an empty city the same week thousands of people are allowed in?
• That's no accident. I'd stake my life on it. If I had one left...
• They'll give it their all. Attempt to stop this thing. If they succeed, they'll be more than heroes...
• ...that's the stuff that legends are made of...

Trivia

• The prologue of this quest was done by a community artist instead of Dark Horse Comics, making it the first community-drawn comic to make it into the game.
• This quest is the swan song of Tom Casiello, a former senior writer at Respawn and one of the original writers of Apex Legends. After writing for more than 2 years, Casiello came across a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and made the difficult decision to leave. He started writing "The Legacy Antigen" during September of 2020 and decided to pour everything he had into this one final quest so he could go out with a bang. It is his love letter to Apex Legends.
