AnApex Legendsfan showed their idea for a Mysterio-inspired Wattson prestige skin to Reddit and fans loved it.
And one fan’s concept for said Wattson skin, inspired by Marvel’s Mysterio, proved a hit with the community.
“What if the final tier of her prestige skin gives her a domed helmet sort of like Mysterio from Marvel…. Except it’s one of those plasma ball lamps?”They asked fans on Redditwhile sharing the idea.
The reception to the idea itself was mostly positive, “I love the concept!”One user replied. “Changes might have to be made to get the silhouette to be more Wattson like but it’s unique at least…”
But not everyone in the Apex Legends community is happy with the developer’s focus on cosmetic items, and comments in the thread soon turned toward discussion about the cost of prestige skins.
“It’s crazy how we have accepted prestige skins as normal. Almost like a $160 skin is a f***ing scam.”Said one commenter, who had received 760 upvotes.
The Apex Legends community didn’t keep their complaints about thecost of items in the game’s recent FFVII crossover event a secret.
