Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?
There are four Controllers as of Season 16: Caustic, Wattson, Rampart, and Catalyst.
None of them are being freely offered as part of theAnniversary Collection Eventthat kicks off Season 16 either.
Granted, of the five classes, Controllers are the most difficult to use.
It’s still a bit odd, though, regardless of whatever Respawn’s reasoning might be.
There are two ways to unlock new characters: Legend Tokens or Apex Coins.
You earn Legend Tokens by playing the game, unlocking 600 with every level.
Spending Apex Coins is a lot faster but it requires real money to unlock the currency.
