Apex Legends is one of the most popular free-to-play battle royale-hero shooter games, developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts.

With its immense player base constantly evolving, this game has a unique approach to its cosmetics.

With new legends, Respawn Entertainment offers various amounts of weapon skins to use every season. Players can get their desired skins via the game store, or they can craft the weapon skins using Crafting Metals.

Some of the weapon skins make the weapons look exquisite. However, other skins offer players an unfair advantage. Legendary skins can change the weapon’s build from its core, eventually affecting the iron sight. With some tweaks, the skins can offer a clearer view to the players.
