Best Apex Legends skins of 2021

The Apex Legends The team knows how to create a beautiful skin and in 2021, the players have been using some of the best cosmetics on offer to date. From the Fight Night collection event to the Ash Launch Bundle, Apex Coins and Crafting Metals flowed freely over the past 12 months as players attempted to grab some of their favorite items.

Since Respawn has also brought back skins in the past for special sales and more frequent events this year, missing out on some of these skins will hurt, but there’s always a chance they will. back in the future. And if you’re in that boat, make sure you stay on top of the best skins released in Apex Legends compared to last year.

A Gaze Eternal

It’s worth noting that making a character’s primary design choice a “scary killer robot” allows for some of the best skins in the game. Revenant has some pretty outstanding skins, easily converting from demon samurai to werewolf. But “A Gaze Eternal” stands out for the fear it might evoke if it weren’t for its reverence for death and destruction.

Unveiled during the Chaos Theory collection event, the marbled leather and leather drum face make up the most haunting Revenant skins to date. And while some of the lore received skins in the Chaos Theory collection that evoke warriors in various places and time periods, this King’s skin stands out from the rest because it looks like it. as being simultaneously inspired by the Renaissance and some sci-fi in the distant future. Scary and regal, it’s easily one of the best skins released last year.

Haute Drop

During the Fight Night collection launch event, Respawn gave the Static Defender a more formidable and intimidating look, giving it a legendary look that could easily have belonged to a young French-Canadian widow, who certainly had nothing to do with her suddenly rich husband and rather hers. illness and mysterious death, no sir.

Delving into the character’s French personality, Haute Drop presents the biggest adult version of Wattson to date, with a matching beret and puffer jacket along with dark eye shadows. The teal and silver colors along with the geometric pattern also fit into the Olympus aesthetic nicely. Da Haute Drop gave her enough edge to secure a spot on this list.

King of the Sea

The Legendary Skin released with the Gibraltar Edition isn’t exactly hard to find, as it’s still available to anyone who wants to buy it, but that doesn’t take away from the extraordinary of this skin. Drawing heavily on the heritage of the Pacific Islanders of Gibraltar, the Sea King’s Skin features Gibraltar’s extensive tattoo work, carved wooden armor and Gibraltar’s signature gun shield designed to look like a fish with teeth.

And while this skin is impressive from afar, the details included in the leather really set it above the rest: the caudal fins — possibly that of a shark — peeking out from Gibraltar’s head, those The various shark teeth strung on his body, the intricate patterns, and the sparkling eyes of his bra. All of these elements come together to make King of the Sea one of the most visually interesting skins in the game.

Chain of commands

Sometimes skins steeped in lore and plot feel best for a character. Other times, we lament what skins do best with their subtlety, the little details that bring a skin together. In some cases, fans just want a skin that looks bright, shiny and free of dark spots. That’s what Ash’s Chain of Command skin is for.

Released in the Ash Launch Bundle at the start of season 11, it’s nearly impossible to miss the marks the skin takes from one of DC Comics’ iconic villains, Deathstroke. The silver armor with orange-red accents and Ash’s mask in this skin, with its fearsome eyes and no mouth, make it impossible to ignore the similarities in design. Finish it off with a character wielding a giant sword as well as a gun and the finished skin. Fully stocked with spiked shoulder pieces and what looks like a chain mail covering the inner workings of the simulacrum, this is a leather that prefers form over function and pomp over simplicity.

Haute Hoplite

Ironically, the best Loba skin in the game is one of her most unfashionable. Of course, it’s still one of the most elegant skins in the game, because this is the Loba we’re talking about. But the ancient Greek and Roman inspired armor gives Loba an edge where most of her skins have… curves.

The Hoplite is of historical Greek origin, but the details of the wolf are included throughout the armor as an homage to the overall aesthetic beauty of Loba that brought Rome and the legends together. establish an empire in the flesh. The green details are a nice touch between the brass armor, as well as the leather straps attached to the belt, which are again reminiscent of Greek and Roman military garb. Throw in the classic helmet, and you’ve got yourself an ancient commander in the heel.

Wild Speed

Giving Octane a skin that makes him look like a cheetah makes so much sense that we were shocked when Respawn took so long to bring this skin into the game. That’s Octane. He likes to go fast. Let’s turn him into a leopard. Print money.

Wild Speed ​​has been included Apex Legends Global Series Championship Discount, with a portion of the sales from these cosmetic items going towards the ALGS Championship prize. This skin shines in its immaculate execution. The head is sleek and leopard-like without sacrificing the classic Octane look, and the black and gold colorways look great. It would certainly be difficult to go wrong with this skin, but the reality is that the designers took it out of the park on this cat.

Neon Ghosts

An offer from the Evolution collection event, the Neon Specter skin gave Wraith the ubiquitous power to live out their “Doctor Manhattan meets Wandavision” dream. Most notably, the skin makes Wraith’s skin a light blue, and the light blue skin is very cool. But what really makes the skin stand out is the pearl purple flight suit that goes hand in hand with the awe-inspiring blue hair and electric blue skin. With Wraith’s usual pupil-less eyes that turn an even bright blue on boot, the skin really makes Wraith look like a comic book character in the best way possible.

Her otherworldly appearance matched Wraith’s and her abilities were no less than Octane’s leopard skin or the Gibraltar Sea King. She’s always been the character with some of the most supernatural abilities in Apex Legends. The birth of Neon Specter skin showed her the right cosmetics.

Stopper display

Legendary skins included with the Mirage version of Apex Legends is anything but subtle, that’s just the way Mirage likes it. Give him a cowboy hat. Give him a visor like Cyclops or LeVar Burton in Star Trek. Let him talk. Put them on Mirage and you’ve got your dream space cowboy.

Mirage’s charm stems entirely from the fact that he is extremely silly in his vanity and generally lacks self-awareness. Show Stopper just captures all of Mirage’s features, from the mustache to the cowboy boots with the silver cap. In fact you can hear him say “I look good. Like, really good,” as he looked at some of his clones wearing this outfit in various poses around him, so he could shoot from any angle. And we wouldn’t have him any other way.

Right of birth

Valkyrie’s Launch Bundle skin straight out Titanfall lore, like Valkyrie herself, and Respawn couldn’t have done any better than that. Viper’s daughter, a boss from Titanfall 2, the Birthright skin allows Valkyrie to wear the flight suit of one of the Apex Predators, much like her father. However, there are some notable differences between Birthright and the flight suit Viper wears.

Where Viper has a white helmet with a yellow suit, Valkyrie’s skin has a red and yellow helmet and armor along with a purple flight suit. It’s a great nod to the obvious history Valkyrie has in the universe Apex Legends and Titanfall, while also designating Valkyrie as her own character with her own story to tell, and not simply a character brought into the game for nostalgia purposes. And, on top of that, the skin looks great. It’s an easy choice for one of the skins of the year.

Noir’s Memoirs

Pathfinder gets some of the funniest looks in the game simply because it’s a fun cyborg that can really dress up like anything. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the skin he received during the Fight Night event didn’t have much of an impact on his cyborg nature. Instead, it dressed him in human clothes like a film noir-style private detective.

And while some interfaces in Top comes with custom character pick animation, the developers have outdone themselves with the character select screen in Memoir Noir. With the sound of driving rain and muggy jazz saxophones, the aesthetic comes together as neatly as the wide-brimmed felt hat on Pathfinder’s head. The MRVN unit may not be the most refined detective in the world, but he is certainly the best dressed.

Recolor Honorable Mention

None of these skins are technically new, but they’re repaints released in 2021, which is too good to mention.

Lifeline’s Ghost Stalker skin is a remake of the Judge Jury Executioner, which debuted during the Iron Crown event in 2019. The asymmetrical hairstyle and mask are clearly the focal point of the skin, but the change in emphasis. from gold to copper metal creation. skin pops up.

Another entry from the War Games collection, Burgundy Knight is a re-color of the much-loved War Machine Pathfinder skin from the Iron Crown event. The switch to black with red and gold accents in Burgundy Knight makes skin look better than ever.

Finally, there’s the Crimson Queen, the skin color of the Outlands Warriors of Bangalore getting the Commemorative Collection treatment in red and gold. The hair color and face of Bangalore give her a very striking and powerful look, while the red jacket and pants on a black background look more natural on Bangalore and this skin than any other collection. any other set of memories.
