Apex Legends Bloodhound Wise Warrior Skin Old Ways Event

Apex Legends has three main types of in-game currency that can be collected and used for a variety of purposes. Crafting Metals are one of the more common currency types in the game. However, this does not mean they are readily available and they can take a while to collect. This is why we're going to show you how to get Crafting Metals fast.

How to Get Crafting Metals Fast

The only way you can get your hands on more Crafting Metals is to open an Apex Pack. Fortunately, there are a few ways that you can get your hands on one. You can be given three different types of crafting metal bundles within the packs:

  • Common - 15 Pieces
  • Rare - 30 Pieces
  • Epic - 200 Pieces
  • Legendary - 600 Pieces

You must remember that there is absolutely no guarantee that you will get Crafting Metals in every single Apex Pack. However, it is one of the most common rewards to be given in them.

1. Buy Apex Packs

Buying an Apex Pack is easily the fastest (and most expensive) way to get more Crafting Metals. In the item store, there is a page specifically dedicated to purchasing a single or multiple Apex Packs. You will need to have Apex Coins (typically bought with real-life money) to purchase them.

  • 1 Apex Pack = 100 Coins
  • 10 Apex Packs = 1,000 Coins

2. Earn Apex Packs

The cheaper but more time-consuming way of getting Apex Packs to get Crafting Metals is to earn them. You can do this by playing the game, completing the given tasks, and reaching the next level of the Battle Pass for your current season. You can find out more about this in our guide on how to level the battle pass up quickly.
