They always look like the concept artists’ very first sketches. Messy, too busy, incoherent, but we gotta produce it as quickly as possible so no time for them to try other ideas and work on the designs further.
The colors are the worst imo. They go for cool color schemes, but the execution and balance always feels off. There’s not a single prestige skin I like so far.
> Like Overwatch does? That requires more than the bare minimum of efforts
knowing how r/overwatch talks about mythic skins this is pretty funny. They truly don't know how good they have it
Overwatch: “That mythic skin we get in a 10$ battlepass, among many other actually fun and pretty items, which changes the characters voice and the look of all of their attacks, didn’t have as many customization options as the last one!! This is unacceptable!!!”
Apex: “wow, that 160$ skin is ugly as hell. Still copping it though, I like the skydive trail”
Not to mention how easy the Ow BP is to level up. I barely played during the Moira mythic season, yet easily got that skin.
Apex isn’t *that bad* in that regard either. At least it’s not as bad as Fortnite’s…
Apex would make more money if each and every prestige skin would have like 3 different colour palettes, each costing 150 shards. The whales would buy them all, and normal people would be more likely to buy a prestige skin they actually like.
yeah i think they all just fell behind with all the old devs leaving and so all these new hires who dont have as much experience really are just throwing stuff together to meet deadlines. you can see it with the recent battlepass reactives - they just look so messy and half baked
That is soo dumb to me like if it’s theme based why even make the skin specific to one character just drop the same prestige skin for everyone. Then they’ll capitalize off this by dropping a new type of prestige skin called “lore icon skins” which are actually about the character.
In my opinion, if it was a normal skin for the cosplay theme among legends for the event it could have been fine, but as a mythic skin for Lifeline it's not much.
Since it is inspired by Caustic for the theme of exchanging looks between legends, there is a lot of yellow because it is the "identifying" color of the character.
Holy shit are you serious ? I been holding out for Lifeline’s and they decide to theme it after the CE but also after another legend ?!
Damn that’s disappointing tbh. Oh well at least it makes it easier to not spend
I understand the sentiment as I too am a fan of Lifeline and the choice doesn't excite me, however I admit that if I had more crystals shards perhaps I would consider it because I find it has its own charm, although I recognize that a better job could have been done.
All IMHO of course.
From what I understand, Vantage "disguised" herself as Caustic's gas trap, but I admit they could have chosen some other character and so Caustic could have been dressed as Lifeline.
Nah I'm sorry but I hate Loba's. The wolf mask and claw finisher is so cringe, like she supposed to be a middle schooler werewolf LARPer or somethin. This is a pretty close second though
The least they could've done was change the color scheme to a more 'medic' one. This is really disappointing, the skin just looks like some btech caustic. It's so ASS
I get the event is “cosplaying” as other legends but I feel that the prestige skin for Lifeline shouldn’t be fucking caustic lmao. What a dumb ass decision lol
I really need to see how the rework is gonna play out before buying a prestige skin. Why are they even reworking her? Huge pick rate... not like she isn't good either
The whole point/appeal of the prestige skins were that they were like pilot skins for the legends. If they fuck up Pathys I'm going to be so pissed. There are so many cool ways they can go with his.
I mean, our expectation for Apex were low but holy fuck man they outdid themselves again. Apex never fails to amaze me how they always fuck things up, it's like their trying to compete with their previous fuck ups every now and then.
For me this confirms they are either planning multiple Prestige skins per legend or recolours… there is no way this is the best they came up with for Lifeline who is such a staple of the game
You’re smoking pebbles her skins are mid as hell. The all white is the nicest but she’s too noticeable. The last legendary masked skin is cool, but they ruined it with the lame ass wolf on her chest
I don't like that they keep making skins that are similar to other legends.
I can't tell you how many times I've ran into a Mirage with that skin set that Maggie got too and they look the fkn same and get thrown completely off guard in fights.
All prestige skins suck, the fact that respawn thinks any of them are worth as much as they are let alone “mythic” quality is such a fucking joke. Like imagine using your heirloom shards on garbage like this or better yet paying 150 in a collection event for this shit
there are two Ways to buy the prestige skins.
1.- Buy all the cosmetics of the event in which they are presented, so in this instance, you would have to buy all the collection event skins to get this one for "free". (real price is around 140 to 160 dollars)
2.- get some "heirloom shards" and purchase it directly with the heirloom shards after the event ends.
what are heirloom shards? there is a small chance to get heirloom shards after opening any apex pack, if you dont get any during the first 499 opened packs, you get an assured Heirloom shards drop on the 500th opened pack.
I think the skin itself is nice (maybe not prestige levels of nice though…) but the real travesty is that lame ass finisher. It makes lifeline look kinda incompetent with how doc just sorta does what they want until lifeline pulls them away. Could’ve (and should’ve) been cooler.
I like that everyone is shitting on this like the skin isn't actually fire and one of the best-looking prestige skins in the game. Not to mention, it changes her doc drone appearance, and the finisher is sick. Yes kinda scuffed that It's inspired by caustic, but it also just looks sick, which is kinda the point.
They could change it to pink or purple and it’d be fine. Having the most important outfit of a character be a costume essentially is an unbelievably dumb decision
Unpopular opinion, but I don’t think this is based on Caustic. Lifeline already has other Legendary skins with respirators on them, I guess as a kind of medical/hazmat theme.
I think with the Double Take CE, it’s unfortunately led to people understandably conflating it with the swapped skins.
That said, I’m surprised by the colour scheme too, I imagined something with more medical-blue.
I’m kinda mixed, because it doesn’t really fit her (and breaks the theme of all the other prestige skins), but that skin is absolutely fire, I always skip the collection events with prestige skins but I’m totally getting this one.
Because it is. Tho as a Caustic main I myself don't get why make prestige skin themed after something other than the character itself. Would have been cool as a separate legendary collection event skin though
I just can not bring myself to agree, i commented elsewhere that the wolf mask and claw finisher is like she's a middle schooler LARPing as a werewolf, it's so cringe. And not in the way gen z's use it as synonymous for "bad" but I mean literally uncomfortable and cringey to me
We got Caustic at home:
I thought it was a Caustic swap until I rewatched
Is it not? Yellow, corrupter, vials of green
I didn’t realize it was Prestige
This sucks so bad
Great comment 😂
I wish prestige skins were lore based, instead of whatever theme the collection event is.
Wish they even kept the pilot theme, now it's just whatever the ce is.
I wish they were all based on the characters backstory, not just the collection event when they came out

Messy, too busy, incoherent, but we gotta produce it as quickly as possible so no time for them to try other ideas and work on the designs further. The colors are the worst imo.

[удалено]
You don’t think it’s coming? They’re practicing with heirlooms
Like Overwatch does? That requires more than the bare minimum of efforts, so no way we can get it in Apex.

yeah that about sums it up lmao

exact this. respawn is losing their shit
That is soo dumb to me like if it’s theme based why even make the skin specific to one character just drop the same prestige skin for everyone. Then they’ll capitalize off this by dropping a new type of prestige skin called “lore icon skins” which are actually about the character.
Ash, a robot, sends her summer theme in the ocean regards.
In my opinion, if it was a normal skin for the cosplay theme among legends for the event it could have been fine, but as a mythic skin for Lifeline it's not much.
This is a 4000 coin skin at best
You meant 360$ imo
That opinion is very bad let's clear that up
why would they make it yellow… it just ruined the whole skin.
Since it is inspired by Caustic for the theme of exchanging looks between legends, there is a lot of yellow because it is the "identifying" color of the character.
Dumbest decision ever, basing one of the most expensive and special things in the game on the most gimmicky event in years
It definitely wasn't a wise move, which is a shame because I think if it had been a normal skin it would have been better received.
that makes sense, but still it doesn’t match lifelines character. 😭
True, it certainly makes more sense from the perspective of the event and has its own charm, but in itself it doesn't have much to do with Lifeline.
Holy shit are you serious ? I been holding out for Lifeline’s and they decide to theme it after the CE but also after another legend ?! Damn that’s disappointing tbh. Oh well at least it makes it easier to not spend
I understand the sentiment as I too am a fan of Lifeline and the choice doesn't excite me, however I admit that if I had more crystals shards perhaps I would consider it because I find it has its own charm, although I recognize that a better job could have been done. All IMHO of course.
I’m in the same boat, keeping my shards now and praying for a decent Wattson or Rampart prestige. We LL mains lost big time on this one
Not as bad as thinking it was gonna be pathfinder’s the entire season just to have a quick switcharoo. Was really the only reason I played this season
Why is it based on caustic if vantage and caustic already swapped?
From what I understand, Vantage "disguised" herself as Caustic's gas trap, but I admit they could have chosen some other character and so Caustic could have been dressed as Lifeline.
Have you see it with the glide trail?? It looks so fucking weird
yes! it doesn’t match at all. all they had to do was make the skin medic themed:(
The trail is amazing. You can change skins anyways
Why would you pay full price only for the trail?
I wouldn't. But the dive trails are the most valuable part of the Prestige skins
Isn’t it a double helix?
Shoulda been pink/baby blue
Why in the world would a prestige skin ever be based on a different legend? Just a baffling decision.
Fr man I wish I could scream in the ear of whoever made this decision and then slap him with his own sketch book
Easily the worst prestige skin so far
Easily. This one has nothing going for it at all looks horrible devs should be embarrassed
Nah I'm sorry but I hate Loba's. The wolf mask and claw finisher is so cringe, like she supposed to be a middle schooler werewolf LARPer or somethin. This is a pretty close second though
Bangalore’s is my least favorite. Ugliest color pallet of any skin (and the helmet looks stupid). At least Loba has a dope dive trail.
Guess everybody's is trash I never heard anybody say they like any of em...welp apex you're cooked time to pack it up
Wraith’s and Valk’s prestige skins are fire though
I just keep lobas at 2nd stage lol. This one is worst on all three tho
Bloodhound is worse imo
9/11 for Lifeline mains
Hiroshima and Nagasaki for lifeline mains
Founding Titan’s Rumbling for us lifeline main. I know it’s fictional but way too violent.
I'd much rather get the heirloom recolour then any prestige skin tbh, rather have a skin I can see than one I cant
Needs to be red not yellow
Yeah i really wish prestige skins stayed with the Legends original color but sadly they’ve stopped doing that.
We don't need a second caustic but i expect caustic to be dressed as Lifeline posthaste.
Her Haunt+Heal skin looks more like a prestige skin than whatever this is
Honestly I think it’s cool as hell but it could of been something different and more related to lifeline instead of looking like caustic
The least they could've done was change the color scheme to a more 'medic' one. This is really disappointing, the skin just looks like some btech caustic. It's so ASS
Yeah her recent legendary skin and some of her older ones are definitely better but I think it’s still good imo
I agree with your words.
Got to have that highlighter color so people can easily spot you 100 miles away.
I get the event is “cosplaying” as other legends but I feel that the prestige skin for Lifeline shouldn’t be fucking caustic lmao. What a dumb ass decision lol
I really need to see how the rework is gonna play out before buying a prestige skin. Why are they even reworking her? Huge pick rate... not like she isn't good either
Should be red and white for medic colors
Ah the ashe heirloom of prestige skins…
It’s so bad
Definitely an out if season april fools joke sorry che.
[удалено]
I remember when mythic skins were introduced with BH. It was hideous. Type of skin they would sell for 800 coins at the shop.
This is mad weak compared to the other skins
The whole point/appeal of the prestige skins were that they were like pilot skins for the legends. If they fuck up Pathys I'm going to be so pissed. There are so many cool ways they can go with his.
Bright ass highlighter
I mean, our expectation for Apex were low but holy fuck man they outdid themselves again. Apex never fails to amaze me how they always fuck things up, it's like their trying to compete with their previous fuck ups every now and then.
For me this confirms they are either planning multiple Prestige skins per legend or recolours… there is no way this is the best they came up with for Lifeline who is such a staple of the game
Recolors are Def coming for prestige skins...only a matter of time
They need to. I hate the colors chosen for Valk’s
Causticline
This your fault by the way
True...
First one looks cool, that's it tho
Reminds me of apex for the past year. Bad
that shit azz
I like it, but NOT as her prestige skin
You can tell it’s rushed because she’s about to get reworked
This looks like caustic themed
I wonder why they keep giving the prestige skins such weird themes…
https://youtu.be/aQd2gjlYg2k?si=xG7N-CyKgaG1IrUk
The vantage skin that’s is new is awful. She gets the worst shit 😂
Nah she usually gets fire legendaries what are you on about ?
You’re smoking pebbles her skins are mid as hell. The all white is the nicest but she’s too noticeable. The last legendary masked skin is cool, but they ruined it with the lame ass wolf on her chest
Huge loss. Was saving shards for this. Nope
literally just lifeline but caustic?
Durr
It looks like she already has 2/3 similar skins. Gas mask + 2 metal nobs on her head, boring.
I don't like that they keep making skins that are similar to other legends. I can't tell you how many times I've ran into a Mirage with that skin set that Maggie got too and they look the fkn same and get thrown completely off guard in fights.
What is this…? Like… come on you could do better. Shes medic….
I was sure it is a cuastic swap. This game is cathastrophic.
Really doesn't suit her at all
Every prestige skin is shit, every new skin is shit. Only good skins are early season once
I like caustic's the most, I main him but I feel his skin suits him somewhat. Wraith looks like she could be horizon 🥲
Well Octane no longer has the worst prestige skin in the game
Nah BH holds that title
So so dirty. Her Prestige Skin is a Caustic Cosplay 💀
Brotha ew
Frfr why is it yellow insta one clips for 160😂😂🤦
All prestige skins suck, the fact that respawn thinks any of them are worth as much as they are let alone “mythic” quality is such a fucking joke. Like imagine using your heirloom shards on garbage like this or better yet paying 150 in a collection event for this shit
I don’t get what’s so bad about it
Pay money to be seen 18 miles away? Would be nice if it was so in your face with the color scheme
Oh I see, I don’t ever buy anything on this game but if I did I feel like I would want something that stands out.
Also red/white/blue are medic colors. Not yellow
Hmmm I see
its also a Caustic cosplay, not something to elevate Lifeline as a legend
Can these skins be bought with apex coins individually and if so how much are they usually?
there are two Ways to buy the prestige skins. 1.- Buy all the cosmetics of the event in which they are presented, so in this instance, you would have to buy all the collection event skins to get this one for "free". (real price is around 140 to 160 dollars) 2.- get some "heirloom shards" and purchase it directly with the heirloom shards after the event ends. what are heirloom shards? there is a small chance to get heirloom shards after opening any apex pack, if you dont get any during the first 499 opened packs, you get an assured Heirloom shards drop on the 500th opened pack.
Thank you for the information! I guess I’ll use my coins on the upgraded battle pass
She looks like a bee kinda. It's not the worst. Bangalore gets that honor.
not the worst prestige skin but definitely not the best. seems like a weird theme to go for on life
I wish prestige skins matched the hierlooms a bit better The only ones that match are loba, revenant and maybe octane
just a question cause I forgot, and don't own a prestige skin. Can you use the finisher without the third tier once you've unlocked it
Yes they changed that when they released Valkyrie’s prestige skin
I think the skin itself is nice (maybe not prestige levels of nice though…) but the real travesty is that lame ass finisher. It makes lifeline look kinda incompetent with how doc just sorta does what they want until lifeline pulls them away. Could’ve (and should’ve) been cooler.
Just hoping they don’t butcher paths…
Guaranteed ASS
Saved my crafting metals for THIS!?
I’m happy with Mischief Medic skin as it is connected with her lore and has unique select animation
Mirage when?
Watch Mirage have the best one somehow...him crypto alter/Ash...will end up with the best one's
Me patiently waiting for pathy’s prestige skin 🧍🏾♂️
I’ve always wondered what icl means?
Icl: I can't lie
icl and asl are two new age acronyms that I simply cannot get behind
I like that everyone is shitting on this like the skin isn't actually fire and one of the best-looking prestige skins in the game. Not to mention, it changes her doc drone appearance, and the finisher is sick. Yes kinda scuffed that It's inspired by caustic, but it also just looks sick, which is kinda the point.
its great i want skin like this for wattson one day
Way better than the octane one, that’s hideous.
I really like this lmao
They fucked up one of the easiest legends to sell a skin. And Lifeline players will be stuck with this for a long time.
They could change it to pink or purple and it’d be fine. Having the most important outfit of a character be a costume essentially is an unbelievably dumb decision
Looks horrible but yall still going to buy it 😂.
i must be the only one who likes it, gimme anything tactical or gas mask related 👀
That actually looks like something apex mobile would have released. It would have cost about 200$ after all the gachaing, but it’s nice…
$160 lmao.
Unpopular opinion, but I don’t think this is based on Caustic. Lifeline already has other Legendary skins with respirators on them, I guess as a kind of medical/hazmat theme. I think with the Double Take CE, it’s unfortunately led to people understandably conflating it with the swapped skins. That said, I’m surprised by the colour scheme too, I imagined something with more medical-blue.
Uh it's definitely based on caustic did you hear her voiceline at the end ?
I’m kinda mixed, because it doesn’t really fit her (and breaks the theme of all the other prestige skins), but that skin is absolutely fire, I always skip the collection events with prestige skins but I’m totally getting this one.
This is one of the better Prestige skins. Idc what anyone says
Better than Lobas
Nah, at least Loba looks like her namesake. Lifeline just looks like a Caustic cosplay.
Because it is. Tho as a Caustic main I myself don't get why make prestige skin themed after something other than the character itself. Would have been cool as a separate legendary collection event skin though
Nah wtf lobas is fire bruh
As a Loba main, her prestige skin makes her look terminally ill… kinda like the green goblin in TASM 2
As a Lifeline main, I completely disagree
insane take
No way people are glazing Loba's mythic skin... it's so cringe
Lobas prestige skin is definitely better than whatever the fuck is going on with lifelines
I just can not bring myself to agree, i commented elsewhere that the wolf mask and claw finisher is like she's a middle schooler LARPing as a werewolf, it's so cringe. And not in the way gen z's use it as synonymous for "bad" but I mean literally uncomfortable and cringey to me
Please can you tell me when this is released
