Ever since its launch in early 2019,Apex Legendshas collected a player base consisting ofhighly skilled gamerswith impressive aim and incredible game sense. Badges are a feature of the game used to decorate player banners and require the player to complete challenges before unlocking them, some a lot easier than others. Whether a player’s aim is to assert dominance or perhaps jazz up a banner, like trackers, badges tend to be the way to go.

However, what casual players might not know is that there are currently several badges available within the game that are incredibly difficult to unlock, some might even say impossible.
10No Witnesses
To earn theNo Witnessesbadge, a player and their full premade squad must kill 15 enemies without them beingrevived or resurrected. Those that have been respawned do not count. That means the easiest way to achieve this badge is by making sure to completely eliminate all three members of an enemy squad to entirely rid the chances of them being brought back.
However, doing it this way would also mean that a player and their team would have to wipe out five full squads before any of them can grab banners or revive teammates. With all that in mind, this badge certainly proves a challenge to unlock.
9Win Streak 4
Win Streak 4is a badge awarded to a player once they get their 5th win in a row. In anybattle royale game, win streaks are always something to be proud of; there can only be one winner in an entire lobby after all. InApexLegends, players are up against 20 (or, in duos, 30) squads, meaning the chances of winning are 1 in 20 (or, again in duos, 1 in 30) and those odds are only bound to lessen with each win.
There are certainly ways in which this badge can be made more easily obtainable, like playing at certain times of the day or just getting lucky enough to be put into multiple bot lobbies but all in all, this badge is a tough one for any player to get.
8Double Duty
Double Dutyis a badge players can earn by winning a game asthe kill leaderand the champion. Now, reading that might not seem all too intimidating, but it’s a badge much harder to unlock than it leads on.

Firstly, the player has to be the champion meaning in their previous game they either won with a respectable amount of kills and damage or placed well and performed highly. They would then have to perform just as well in their next match, enough to be not only the kill leader but the winner too. There are a lot of factors that come into play when trying to unlock this one, and that’s exactly what makes it such a challenge to earn.
7Headshot Hotshot
Headshot Hotshotis arguably one of the more impressive badges to achieve withinApex Legends, the only way to earn said badge is through pure skill: winning a game withfive headshot kills. To put into words how incredible that is, a player would need to eliminate, not down, five different enemies with a headshot, and, no, hitting them in the head and finishing them with another weapon does not count.
And, if that wasn’t enough, the player also needs to win that same game. This one might be a piece of cake for the more advanced players but for those that play casually, it’s bound to be a challenge.
6Triple Triple
Triple Tripleis a badge unlocked by killing all three members of three squads in a single match. This might not sound all too tricky but applied to a real situation, this badge can be particularly tough to earn unless, of course, in a fully coordinated pre-made squad.
The player must kill these enemies themselves, final blows only; kill participation does not count, and all members must be fully eliminated, downs aren’t counted either. This means that if a teammate were to kill the final member of a squad, the player will need to find yet another full squad and try again!
5You’re Tiering Me Apart Apex Predator
You’re Tiering Me Apart Apex Predatoris a badge everyApex Legendsplayer is familiar with, whether they play competitively or not. Players have been able to earn this badge since Season 2, and it is still available to unlockthis current ranked season. However, it is only gifted to those who reach the Apex Predator rank or, in other words, the top 750 players globally.

To reach this high rank, a player would need to have 15,000+ RP just to get into masters and then grind harder to reach those top spots as well as maintain that number throughout the season or else they risk being overtaken. Considering the current system, in more recent seasons, this proves a challenge players would have to work incredibly hard to achieve.
4Rapid Elimination
TheRapid Eliminationbadge can be unlocked by downing four enemies within 20 seconds. This might not initially sound too intimidating but put into a real match situation, this badge is a tough one to earn.
This badge requires the player to not only fight with at least two other squads at once but also down four of them, and no, just participating in downing them doesn’t count, the player must be the one to down the four enemies themselves, all in the short period of 20 seconds!
3[Legend’s] Wrath 4
[Legend’s] Wrath 4is a badge unlocked once a player gets 4,000 damage in a single game. For an idea of just how impressive that is, 4,000 damage is the equivalent of eliminating (or downing) 18 players with full health and red evo shields.
This badge does not automatically unlock for all characters once a player reaches the required damage in a game, just for the legend that was played, meaning if a player was looking to earn [Legend’s] Wrath IV for each character, they would have to do so individually. Perhaps this one is a little more easily obtainable if players land ata hot spotor drop at the blue zone at the very beginning of a match.
2[Legend’s] Wake
[Legend’s] Wake, also referred to by fans as the “20 bomb” is a badge that requires the player to kill at least 20 enemies in a single game. To put that into perspective, 20 kills equates to a third of an entire lobby. Like [Legend’s] Wrath, this can only be earned fora single characterat a time, differing from badges likeTeam.Work.that automatically unlocks across all legends once it’s obtained.
However, it’s worth noting that the player would only have to achieve 20 final blows, meaning (hypothetically) they might not even have to do all that much… just steal kills from poor unsuspecting teammates!
1Team. Work. 4
Team. Work. 4, also known as the 10/10/10 badge is speculated among fans as being the very hardest to obtain. To unlock it, players must play a game with afull premade squadand get 10 kills each. Yes, each. To put that into perspective, that totals up to half the players in a full lobby, 10 full squads. And if just one squadmate gets even a kill less than 10, say goodbye to all the hard work that game… it’s time to try again!
All in all this one is bound to take a lot of blood, sweat, and tears and might even cause a few broken friendships… If it’s any consolation, players won’t need to rely on pesky randoms to get this one!
Apex Legendsis currently available on Mobile, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
