Apex Legends has many cosmetics, but Mythic Skins are the most special. They are rare, customizable, and represent long-term commitment. Many questions come up about these skins. How do you unlock them, can you buy them, and which Legends have them? This guide explains everything in simple steps so players know exactly what to expect!

What are Mythic Skins in Apex Legends?

Mythic Skins are the highest tier of cosmetics in Apex Legends. They are above Legendary Skins and offer unique features that no other tier has. Each Mythic Skin comes with multiple upgrade stages, visual effects, and custom details.

Unlike other skins, they evolve. As players progress, they can unlock new looks and styles for the same Mythic Skin. Prestige Skins in Apex Legends belong to the Mythic tier, and they evolve through multiple stages with visual upgrades.

How to get Mythic Skins

Players need Mythic Shards to unlock Mythic Skins. Shards come from Apex Packs, and the game guarantees shards within 500 packs if you do not get them earlier. The process takes time, but here is a clear step-by-step path:

1. Earn or buy Apex Packs: You can get free packs by leveling up, completing events, or through battle passes. You can also buy packs directly with Apex Coins.
2. Open Apex Packs for Mythic Shards: Each pack has a small chance of dropping shards. The system guarantees shards after 500 packs if none drop earlier.
3. Collect 150 Mythic Shards: Once you reach this amount, you can unlock any Mythic item in the Mythic Shop.
4. Go to the Mythic Shop: The Mythic Shop offers Heirlooms and Mythic Skins. Choose the skin you want and spend your shards.
5. Upgrade the skin over time: Mythic Skins have three upgrade levels. You can unlock new styles and visual effects using crafting materials.

This path is the same for all players. It requires patience or investment, but it is the only way to unlock Mythic Skins.

Can you buy Mythic Skins with Apex Coins?

You cannot buy Mythic Skins directly with Apex Coins. However, you can buy Apex Packs with Apex Coins, and those packs may give you Mythic Shards. In short, Apex Coins help you get closer, but they do not unlock the skins themselves.

Which Legends have Mythic Skins in Apex Legends?

Not every Legend has a Mythic Skin, but Apex is bringing more each season for different legends, like Wattson. Only a few have received them so far, and more will come in the future. As of 2025, the following Legends have Mythic Skins:

• Bloodhound
• Bangalore
• Wraith
• Caustic
• Valkyrie
• Revenant
• Loba

Each of these skins has three stages, which makes them stand out in matches.

Are mythic skins rare?

Yes, Mythic Skins are the rarest cosmetics in Apex Legends. They require Mythic Shards, which are already hard to get, and only a few Legends have them. Their rarity is what gives them prestige.

Unlike limited event skins, they are always available in the Mythic Shop. The challenge is collecting enough shards to buy one

How often does Apex release new Mythic Skins?

Respawn usually releases one new Mythic Skin every season. This means players can expect about three to four new Mythic Skins each year. They often arrive during big updates or collection events, and they are always promoted with trailers or special announcements.

Do event packs give Mythic Skins?

Event packs can drop Mythic Shards, which unlock Mythic Skins. They follow the same system as regular Apex Packs, so the odds are not higher. Event packs mostly focus on Legendary or Epic skins tied to the event. If you are lucky, shards can still drop, but they are never guaranteed.

What's the rarest skin in Apex?

The rarest skins in Apex Legends are usually Mythic Skins, since they are the top tier. However, some older event skins are just as rare because they never returned to the store. Examples include Omega Point Pathfinder and Great Winter Wraith.

In terms of official rarity, though, Mythic Skins remain at the very top because of their evolving design and the shard requirement.

How much is 50 Apex packs?

Apex Packs cost 100 Apex Coins each, so you need 5,000 Coins for 50 packs. The prices below show common bundle costs that players use to reach that amount.

Tip: The 6,000 Coin bundle is the most efficient for players aiming for 50 packs at once.
