Animated Frame
In Apex Legends, an Animated Frame is a cosmetic item that players can use to customize their in-game profile banner. These frames add a dynamic and visually appealing border to a player's legend banner, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and allowing players to showcase their style.
Acquisition of Animated Frames
Animated Frames can be obtained through various means within the game:
- Battle Pass: Players can unlock Animated Frames by progressing through the levels of the seasonal Battle Pass.
- Events: Special in-game events often feature limited-time Animated Frames as part of their rewards.
- Apex Packs: Occasionally, Animated Frames can be found in Apex Packs as rare cosmetic items.
Customization and Use
Once obtained, players can equip Animated Frames to their legend banners from the customization menu:
- Navigate to the Loadout section from the main menu.
- Select the Banner tab for the desired legend.
- Choose the Frame option and select your preferred Animated Frame.
Equipping an Animated Frame will apply it to your legend's banner, making it visible to other players in the pre-game lobby and during the Champion display.
Strategic Significance
While Animated Frames do not provide any gameplay advantages, they serve as a status symbol within the community:
- Showcase Achievements: Rare and exclusive Animated Frames can indicate a player's dedication and achievements in previous seasons or events.
- Personal Branding: Players can use Animated Frames to create a unique identity or theme for their in-game presence.
