50 free Apex Legends trivia questions with answers. Apex Legends dropped out of nowhere in February 2019 and hit 50 million players in a month, and it has been reinventing itself every season since. This quiz covers the whole run: how Respawn quietly turned a Titanfall prototype into a battle royale, the eight launch Legends and everyone who came after, the lore behind Wraith, Loba, Ash and Catalyst, every map from Kings Canyon to E-District, the weapons and modes each season added, the ALGS championships, and the short life of Apex Legends Mobile. Easy questions ask who publishes the game and how many squads drop per match; the hard ones want the developer of the Switch port, the price of the infamous Iron Crown axe and where the 2025 ALGS Championship was held. Built for players who know their zip rails from their Tridents. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the game, its characters and the Global Series, and each question carries the sentence that backs it up.
