For the first time in Apex Legends history, battle pass weekly challenges can now be completed in any mode — yes, that includes Battle Royale, Mixtape, and Wild Card.

No more being locked to BR when you just want to vibe in TDM or chase chaos in Control. This long-requested change is finally here in Season 26, and it’s a massive win for casual and hardcore Players alike.

What’s New With Battle Pass Challenges?

Thanks to a rework confirmed by @HYPERMYSTx, all battle pass progression is now mode agnostic — meaning your stats count regardless of where you’re playing.

This Means:

  • No more BR-only limitations
  • Complete damage, kill, and match objectives in any playlist
  • Wild Card and Mixtape now fully count towardweekly progress
  • More flexibility for players who don’t enjoy standard BR
  • Faster and less frustrating Battle Pass completion

Why This Is a Big Deal

Let’s be real — nothing killed your motivation more than seeing “Play 10 matches as Assault” only to realize it had to be BR. Now, your favorite mode finally rewards you across the board.

For example, in Week 1 of Season 26:

  • Play 10 matches as Assault or Recon
  • Deal 15,000 damage with Assault Rifles
  • Get 40 kills or assists with Assault Rifles
  • Get a Top 3 Finish 5 times
  • Get 50 headshots

All of this can be done in the mode of your choice. TDM? Go wild. Gun Run? Farm it. BR? Still there for you.

Final Thoughts

This Battle Pass challenge overhaul is easily one of the best quality-of-life updates in recent memory. Whether you’re grinding ranked, dropping into Wild Card for the new RE-45, or just hitting Control with friends, you’ll always be making progress.
