The Apex Legends crafting system was introduced in the Season 6 patch notes, giving players a new way to play the popular battle royale from Respawn Entertainment.

Apex Legends Crafting System Introduced in Season 6

"We all know the RnG gods are not always in your favor. With Season 6 we are introducing a crafting system. Find materials throughout the map via loot bins or material stations, then take these to a Replicator. In the Replicator, you'll find eight different pieces of loot that you can craft, if you have enough materials. Some of this loot rotates on a weekly or daily basis, but you'll always be able to see what's currently craftable in the game mode selector or the map screen," Respawn Entertainment said in the patch notes.

The Apex Legends crafting system seems to be a similar take on Fortnite's vending machines where players in the latter could, for example, deposit 200 wood for a weapon or shields.

The crafting system opens new avenues of play for Apex Legends fans where it won't be do-or-die necessarily if players can't find weapons immediately after dropping.

"Getting the most out of Crafting requires evaluating the map and rotations throughout the game. Each match we pick different towns where you can find Materials and Replicators, so players who engage with Crafting will be taking new rotations every time they play," Systems Designer Mark Yampolsky said.

Apex Legends Season 6 also adds Rampart to the game's roster giving players a new Legend to control.
