Apex Legends Players Want This Item Gone

The Apex Legends Community is Begging Respawn to Delete this Item

After several years, the Apex Legends community continues to rally behind an old flag and asking Respawn to boost their quality of life with one simple change to the game's looting system. There’s one single item that Apex players have been praying away since the battle royale's debut almost five years ago.

Since its groundbreaking launch, Apex Legends has found itself at the center stage of the competitive gaming arena scene, quickly becoming the leading battle royale game on streaming platforms and esports alike. It’s easy to understand that Apex Legends would reach for the sky with its unique blend of character abilities, gun skills, and an element of luck.

Respawn Entertainment, the developers behind the popular game, have implemented numerous changes over the years; some were embraced by the community, while others have only caused controversy, but at least they keep the changes coming and the gameplay dynamic.

One of the items on players’ wish lists revolves around a simple yet crucial looting adjustment. The Apex Legends community is calling for an increase in starter storage space, with a specific focus on making the white backpack a standard spawn item. This basic but essential piece of equipment has been a source of frustration for players who find themselves consistently scrambling to locate it during the early stages of a match.

Lots of players have argued that the backpacks should be a boost to your storage and not an essential item, since failing to find one in the early game, which can happen out of sheer bad luck, might doom your changes right then and there.

On Reddit and Twitter (X), players commented:

"I think it's time they remove the white backpack from the item pool and make it a spawn item; it's not worth a spot with the amount of ground items the game currently has."

This post gained massive popularity with hundreds of comments and shares, as players agreed on how Apex Legends’ needs to streamline the looting experience. "I agree 100%. Wouldn't even need it to be an item; just remove it and up the default storage space by 2. Anything to clear up loot and pave the way for a new weapon, (…) It's just annoying not being able to find one at the beginning of the game."

However, not all members of the Apex Legends community are on board with the proposed change. Some expressed concerns that making the white backpack a standard spawn item is one step too far in terms of boosting the early game of Apex, which might lead to players looking for even higher-tier equipment from the start of the game, potentially disrupting the game's balance.

This isn't the first time players have shared their issues with Apex and their desires for adjustments. Respawn Entertainment has, on occasion, answered the community's calls, as seen in previous seasons when changes were made to starting armor. It remains to be seen if the developers will once again listen to the collective voice of the players, leaving the Apex Legends community eagerly awaiting any feedback from Respawn regarding the infamous white backpack.
