New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on August 17, 2021) follows:

Apex Legends is one of the most played battle royale games of all time. In fact, the game is so popular right now that it is closing in on PUBG and COD: Warzone.

Developed by Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts, Apex Legends is a fast-paced battle royale where teamwork is the key to victory.

Having said that, like every other video game, Apex Legends players encounter some glitches every now and then.

The most recent issue affecting several Apex Legends players is the missing badge and rewards on levelling up bug.

According to user reports, the game does not reward them with badges and rewards whenever they level up. Because of this, player stats are also being affected.

Right now, several players are confused about what is happening while others are frustrated because they are not getting rewards.

In the Apex Legends universe, a badge is a way to show off champion proficiency and stats. Players can collect them when they complete certain challenges.

As it turns out, EA is aware of the issue and says that it is currently under investigation.

We hope EA and Respawn Entertainment fix the Apex Legends missing badge and rewards bug soon so players can flex their stats and collect free rewards.
