How To Equip Badges In Apex Legends

Apex Legends is a game about skillful decisions and fast gameplay to beat all other teams for supremacy in the arena. As you progress through the game and become better, your achievements for each legend will be noted as badges. You can put these badges on your legend’s banner to display them to your enemies as a sign of prowess.

How to Equip Badges in Apex Legends?

After each game, you’ll receive a badge if you’ve fulfilled its condition. Most of the badges are legend-specific, so you’ll only have them on the character you’ve played with, but some are account-based and can be put up for any (or all) legends you play. Once you’ve unlocked a badge, follow these steps to equip it:

1. From the main menu, select the “Legends” section on the top.
   
2. Select (click on) the legend (character) you want to equip the badge to.
   
3. Click on the “Banners” tab on the top.
   
4. Select “Badges” on the left-hand side.
   
5. You’ll see a grid of badges. The colored badges are the ones you own and can equip, while the greyed-out badges are locked. You can hover over each badge to learn about its unlocking conditions. Hovering over the badge will also scroll through all the tiers available, if applicable.
   
6. To equip the badge, click on it. You’ll see a menu pop-up with three available badge slots. Click on the badge slot to place it in that slot.
   
   
7. You can right-click on an equipped badge (noted with a checkmark in the corner) to un-equip it.
   

That’s pretty much it. You can use these steps to go over each legend you play in the game and set their badges accordingly. If you have an account-wide badge, you can equip it to any number of legends at once.

What Are Badges in Apex Legends?

Each badge has specific requirements to unlock. While some of the badges are account-wide, (meaning they count your performance across all games) other badges are only unlocked while you’re playing a specific legend.

In general, there are several broad badge categories:

• Level badge
  
• Account badges
  
• Event badges
  
• Team member-oriented badges
  
• Wins with each legend
  
• Damage count (in a single game) for each legend
  
• Kills (with wildly varying conditions) for each legend
  
• Club badges
  
• Battle Pass badges and Rank badges for each season
  
• Game mode badges
  

When you access the “Badges” section of each legend, you can hover over a badge to see its requirements and whether or not you can unlock it.

Some badges are season- or event-based, so you can only unlock them during that particular event or season. If you’ve started playing after those events have ended, you won’t have a way to unlock them again. Some events may reoccur in the future, but previous season badges will be locked forever.

Additional FAQ

Why Can’t I Equip the Badge Even Though I Have Finished the Task?

If you have unlocked a legend-specific badge, you can’t equip it to any other legend. Some legend-specific badges are identical for all legends (down to the icon), but you still need to repeat that task for each legend to effectively collect them all.

In other cases, you might not have actually finished the task precisely. The most common example is the difference between reviving and respawning teammates. Reviving a downed teammate gets them back to partial HP (and Armor if you have the Golden Backpack item).

On the other hand, respawning teammates require you to collect their banners (by interacting with their death box) and using the respawn beacon. They will then drop from a respawn shuttle without any gear.

Sometimes, the game has a slight delay between handing out the badge and making it available for equipping. Restart the game to see if that fixes the problem.

How Do You Get All Badges in Apex Legends?

If you’ve started playing the game recently, unlocking all the badges is impossible. Since there are a few badges that are season-specific (for example, your season’s rank in the ladder), you won’t be able to unlock them during the later seasons.

Other badges are event-specific. Most events run through different holiday seasons (Halloween, New Years’/Christmas, Valentine’s Day, etc.). Each event can earn players unique badges, and most won’t be repeatable after that event.

How Do You Equip the Same Badge in Apex Legends?

While the game doesn’t normally allow you to equip one badge to multiple slots for a legend, there is a way to circumvent the system and have the same badge show up two, or even three, times on your legend’s banner.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go into the badge screen for the legend you want to equip the badge.

2. Scroll to the badge you want to equip.

3. The following steps are time-sensitive, so you have to be quick about it!

4. Disconnect your internet cable or modem.

5. Equip the badge to the first slot.

6. Equip the same badge to the other slots.

7. If the glitch works, you shouldn’t be able to see any changes on the legend’s banner while you’re disconnected.

8. Reconnect the cable or modem. The game will reconnect to the internet and you’ll hopefully see three of the same badges on the banner.

The game has a connection detection system, so disconnecting from the internet will often cause the game to exit to the loading menu. For this glitch to work, you have to work very quickly.

This glitch may be patched in a future update, so it might not be replicable for all players.

How Do You Do the Badge Glitch in Apex Legends?

We haven’t found any other badge glitches other than the one described above. If you want to add the same badge to all three banner slots, follow the previous answer’s instructions.
