Receive gifts in Apex Legends

To get gifts from a friend, you need to:

Can I gift Apex Coins?

No, you can’t gift Apex Coins.

What if my friend already has an item I want to gift them?

You can’t gift your friend an item they already own as a single item.

If you give your friend a bundle with an item they already own, you’ll get a discount on the bundle, and they'll get any other items they don't already own.

To view the discounted amount, open the gifting window and select your friend’s name. The Apex Coin total will update and be discounted based on what item(s) your friend already has.

Can I use Crafting Metals or Legend Tokens to get gifts for friends?

No, you can only buy gifts with Apex Coins.

Can I gift an item from my inventory?

No, you can’t gift items from your inventory. You need to buy gifts with Apex Coins.

I want to cancel my gift

Gifts are final and non-refundable. Before sending your friend a gift, make sure you’re gifting to the right account on the right platform, and your friend’s account isn’t banned.

1. From the lobby, go to the Store.
2. Find the item or bundle you want to gift.
3. Select Gift.
   • If you haven’t turned on 2FA, set that up on your account now. A pop-up with a QR code will appear with instructions.
4. Choose your friend from the friend list.
5. Confirm the final Apex Coin amount and select Gift.
6. Under Unlock with, select the Apex Coins to buy the gift.
7. The message will say Success to confirm you sent your gift.

Gifts are automatically added to your inventory after your friend sends them. You don’t have to do anything to accept them.

To see your gift, check your inbox.

1. In the lobby, you’ll see a notification saying You have a new gift.
2. Select the News icon under the notification.
3. Select the Inbox tab at the top of the screen.
4. To see the gift and who it was from, select Check gift.
5. Select Continue to be taken back to your inbox.

I didn’t get my gift

Gifts are automatically added to your inventory, and you’ll get a notification in your inbox when they arrive. If you’re not seeing your gift, try going back to the lobby, then back to your inventory to find your gift.

2FA didn’t work

Go to your EA Account Security and Privacy settings and confirm 2FA is turned on.

If you still aren’t able to buy the gift after turning on 2FA, restart your game and try again.

I don't have enough Coins

You can buy more Apex Coins before you can send your friend a gift. Follow these steps to buy more Coins.

My friend shows as ineligible

Your friend may show as ineligible if:

• your friend already has the item you’re trying to gift
• your friend’s account isn’t in good standing
• there are regional requirements that prevent you from sending the gift to your friend.
  

I can’t find my friend on the list

Only players you're friends with in-game will appear on your gifting list. If your friend doesn’t appear here, your friend may need to accept your friend request in-game. Once they do, you can send them gifts when you’ve been friends in-game for at least two weeks.

If you’re playing on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch™, or Steam, you need to make sure you're friends in-game, not just on the platform.

0 gifts left

You can only send five gifts in every 24-hour period. You’ll get this error if you’ve maxed out your gifts in a 24-hour period and need to wait before you can send more.

Server error

This can happen when there’s a game or server issue. Wait until it’s fixed before trying again.
