Thirsty Apex Legends players are furious that the new swimsuit skins aren’t skimpy enough. Why? Because it’s the internet.
As reported by Kotaku, Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment has just announced the ‘Sun Squad Collection Event’ with the summer season being just a few months away. Perhaps taking some inspiration from Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, players can earn (or buy) some sweet summer skins for their favourite Apex Legends characters. However, some players are disappointed by the event, given the apparent lack of skimpiness.
Take a look at some of our favourite Apex Legends wins and fails below.
One particular fan was disappointed with the lack of skimpiness for the fan favourite character Loba. “What we wanted vs what we got,” tweeted BirnoOCE. Side-by-side comparison images featured Loba in a spicy bikini set sipping a cocktail, next to an actual in-game skin of her in something colourful and tropical.
Getting into the spirit of the upcoming summer season, developers Respawn tweeted, “Ok, here's the deal: If this post gets 10K likes, we'll add the swimsuit skin.” Unsurprisingly, that target was smashed in a mere 10 minutes.
At the time of writing this article, Respawn hasn't tweeted the image of the new swimsuit skin but hopefully, Apex Legends players will be satisfied on its arrival. If all else fails, at least there’s still Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball.
