On the next screen, check the item I have read and accept the Origin End User License Agreement and click the Continue> Yes button to start installing the new version of Origin on your PC.
Once the installation is finished, from the window that opens positioned on the Create an account tab then enter all the data that you are asked to create your EA account at the end click on the Start button .

Play Apex Legend
At the end of the presentation you find yourself in the main screen of the game where as the first step you have to choose the character to play with and you can do it through the Legends item of course by choosing only those unlocked.
The Legends are the characters that accompany you during the games of the Battle Royale, at the beginning of the game you will have only 9 warriors available, but you can use without limitation Bloodhound (technological hunter), Gibraltar (armored fortress), Lifeline (war doctor), Pathfinder ( advanced scout), Wraith (interdimensional fighter), Bangalore (professional soldier) while Octane (daredevil at high speed) , Caustic (toxic predator) and Mirage (holographic illusionist) you can only unlock them for a fee of 12,000 Legend Tokens each.
If you don’t know which Legend to choose by right clicking on his avatar you will be given all the characteristics and skills so choose the one that suits your game characteristics even if my advice is to test all the characters and better understand which Legend it adapts to your skills and the way you fight.
In the other menus you can see the Armory where you will find the list of weapons that you can find and use during the various phases of the game, then find the Battle Pass where all the developments you have made during the game are listed and saved, and to end you will find the Shop where you can buy Apex Coins with € uro which are used to buy the various weapons, skins, legends and much more.
As soon as you have finished setting up the game you can start playing by going to the Play menu and clicking the Ready button , but if you want you can also choose the Training button to train before getting into the battle.
If you have chosen to start playing for the moment there is only one game mode, in the battle royal you have to challenge sixty other players , divided by teams, each team is composed of three players among which there is a leader who decides which side of the map land.
Once you land on the island, you must immediately go in search of various weapons, accessories and armor to improve shooting power and accuracy, I also remind you to never face the battle royale alone but to collaborate in Apex Legends otherwise you would end up soon your conquest will come under fire from the enemy.
Each game of Apex Legends is defined in rounds that have a duration, once a round is finished the game map automatically shrinks with the passage of time, well that’s all now I don’t want to explain the whole game to you but I leave the task of discover the other phases of Apex Legends, I just have to wish you a good fight with a great victory.
