Respawn recently launched Apex Legends Mobile on Android and iOS, which quickly became one of the most popular mobile games out there. The game brings the typical Apex Legends experience to mobile with fast-paced and exciting gunplay. What makes Apex Legends Mobile different from the PC and console versions is its brand-new perk system. The perk system lets you upgrade the existing character abilities to make them even more dangerous. It also adds a whole new layer to the shooter and makes it even more rewarding. Here's everything you need to know about the Apex Legends perk system:

What is Apex Legends Mobile Perk system?

Apex Legends Mobile has an exclusive perk system that isn't available on PC and console versions. The perk system lets you unlock perks, finishers, abilities, and cosmetics for each Legend. Just like the abilities, each Legend has a unique set of perks that enhance their existing abilities. These perks can occasionally be life-savers in certain situations.

Types of Apex Legends Mobile perks

There are three types of perks in Apex Legends Mobile right now, which are mentioned below:

• Perks (blue) - Perks improve and introduce passive abilities.
• Finishers (purple) - Finishers offer boosts after performing your finisher on a downed opponent.
• Abilities (red) - Abilities will upgrade a character's existing tactical abilities.

Unlocking perks in Apex Legends Mobile is quite easy. The game offers tokens as you play with a Legend, which can only be applied to that Legend. For instance, tokens earned by playing as Gibraltar are exclusive to him, and cannot be used for other Legends. These tokens can be used to unlock perks, finishers, and abilities in Apex Legends Mobile's Perk system. Perks have varying token costs based on how good they can be. Perks further down the tree are more expensive than the starter perks, but they also offer more benefits. For example, Octane's Che Augmentation perk, which lets you regen 10 additional health when using a syringe, costs 1 token. But, with 5 tokens, you can get the Coursing Adrenaline perk that offers additional reload speed when you have a speed boost.

How to unlock perks in Apex Legends Mobile

Here's how you can unlock perks when you have enough tokens:

• Click on the Legends button
• Pick the Legend you have collected tokens for
• Hit the Details button and then go to Unlock section
• Click on the perk, finisher, or ability to unlock and equip them

How many perks can you equip for each character

Apex Legends Mobile has a limit on how many perks you can use at once. Each character can equip 1 perk, 1 finisher, and 1 ability. The developer most likely added this restriction for balancing all the Legends. Apex Legends Mobile also lets you save your perk, finisher, and ability combinations as load-outs to quickly swap between different combinations.
