Unlike previous events, this collaboration marked a significant increase in prices. Event packs that once cost $7 now amount to $10 each, making it the most expensive event in "Apex Legends" history. Milestone Rewards, including a Death Box skin, could accumulate to a staggering $290.
与之前的活动不同，这次合作标志着价格的大幅上涨。曾经售价7美元的活动包现在每包达到10美元，使其成为 “Apex Legends” 历史上最昂贵的活动。里程碑奖励，包括死亡之箱皮肤，可能会累积到惊人的290美元。
Moreover, the pricing structure isn't transparent, creating confusion among players. Packs initially priced at 100 Apex Coins escalated in cost after a few purchases, reaching up to 1,000 Apex Coins per pack.
此外，定价结构不透明，在参与者之间造成混乱。最初定价为100枚Apex币的包在购买了几次之后成本上涨，达到每包最高1,000枚Apex币。
To obtain all 36 items, players might have to spend $290, which involves purchasing various bundles with fluctuating prices and complex calculations.
要获得全部36件物品，玩家可能需要花费290美元，其中包括购买价格波动和复杂计算的各种捆绑包。
Despite a few free event packs offered, the chances of obtaining coveted items without spending money are minimal, especially for the Buster Sword with less than a 1% probability. Players criticized the lack of free rewards and limited opportunities for earning items through gameplay.
尽管提供了一些免费活动包，但不花钱就能获得梦寐以求的物品的机会微乎其微，尤其是对于概率不到1％的Buster Sword而言。玩家批评缺乏免费奖励，通过游戏获得物品的机会有限。
Notably, unlike previous events allowing specific Legend Skin purchases, this crossover limited players to character skins priced at $21.50 each, without additional packs.
值得注意的是，与之前允许购买特定传奇皮肤的活动不同，此次跨界限定玩家只能购买每件售价为21.50美元的角色皮肤，不包括额外的礼包。
