How To Check How Many Apex Packs You've Opened

Knowing how many Apex Packs you've opened can be a fun way to track your progress and satisfy your curiosity in Apex Legends. Unfortunately, Respawn Entertainment doesn't provide a direct counter within the game's user interface. However, there are a few methods you can use to get a reasonable estimate. This guide will walk you through them.

Method 1: Tracking Your Packs (Manual Method)

This method is the most accurate but requires diligent record-keeping. It's best to start tracking from the moment you decide to begin counting.

Start Tracking Your Packs

  • Begin a Spreadsheet or Document: Create a simple spreadsheet or document (even a notepad file will work). Include columns for "Date," "Number of Packs Opened," and "Total Packs Opened."
  • Record Each Opening: Every time you open an Apex Pack, record the date and the number of packs opened that session. Update the running total in the "Total Packs Opened" column.

Limitations

  • This method relies entirely on your accuracy. Missed entries will skew the results.
  • It's not retroactive. You can only track packs opened after you start using this method.

Method 2: Estimating Based on Legendary Items (Less Accurate Method)

This method provides a rough estimate based on the drop rate of legendary items. This is far less precise and should be viewed as an approximation.

Understanding Drop Rates

  • Legendary items have a lower probability of appearing compared to other rarity tiers. The exact drop rate isn't publicly revealed by Respawn, but community estimates often place it around 0.1% to 0.2% for each pack.

Calculations

  • Count Your Legendaries: Count the number of legendary items you've obtained in your Apex Legends account.
  • Estimate Pack Count: Divide the number of legendary items by the estimated drop rate (e.g., if you have 10 legendary items and assume a 0.1% drop rate, divide 10 by 0.001 which is 10,000. This estimate is extremely rough).

Limitations

  • Inaccurate Drop Rate: The true drop rate is unknown, leading to a significant margin of error.
  • Unopened Packs with Legendaries: This method doesn't account for legendary items you might get from unopened packs, further decreasing accuracy.
  • Events and Promotions: Special events and promotions can alter drop rates, making this estimate even less reliable.

Method 3: Utilizing Third-Party Apps (Use with Caution)

Some third-party apps claim to track Apex Pack openings. However, use these with extreme caution. Always verify the app's legitimacy and read user reviews before granting it access to your account information. Respawn doesn't officially endorse any such tracking apps. Proceed at your own risk.

Cautions

  • Data Security: Be wary of sharing your account information with untrusted third-party applications.
  • Accuracy: The accuracy of these apps can vary greatly.
  • Potential Bans: Using unauthorized third-party tools to modify game data could lead to account suspension or bans.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why doesn't Apex Legends show a pack counter?

A: Respawn Entertainment has not officially explained why they haven't implemented a pack counter.

Q: Is there a way to check the number of packs opened retrospectively?

A: No, there's no official way to retrospectively determine the number of packs you've opened prior to starting your own tracking.

Conclusion

While there's no perfect method to check how many Apex Packs you've opened without meticulous tracking from the start, the methods above can provide either a precise count (via manual tracking) or a rough estimate. Remember to always prioritize your account security when using third-party applications. Happy looting!
