Apex Legends was just named the Best Multiplayer Game of 2019 at The Game awards. The game has grown a massive player base of over 70 million gamers with estimates of 8 to 10 million players battling to be named the Champion each week, all playing anywhere from an hour per day to 5 hours per day on average.
That’s a lot of sitting around and not doing much.
To help gamers get off of the couch or out of their comfortable gamer chair and get some exercise we worked with an Apex Legends player, graphics designer, and fitness aficionado Reddit user /u/DanyulD to come up with an exercise challenge based on one of the game’s Legends.
How to take the challenge.
a. For example while playing as Bangalore you might hinder your squad more than once during a match with your Rolling Thunder artillery strike. If that’s the case you’ll need to add 10 situps for each additional time. While playing as Crypto your drone might get shot down more than once, if so add up the number of times and multiply that times the 10 v-sits. Etc…
b. Each legend has a 2x multiplier which should be applied after adding up all of the exercises.
c. Make sure to not join a new match or start joining a new match until you’ve done all of the required exercises. Each legend has something they may have to do “until respawn or you start a new match” you’ll do these while waiting to join a new match.
d. Champions get to rest and relax. Each time you win you get a 5-minute break. We used minutes instead of rounds in case you drop into a match and get killed immediately. Unless you win with Lifeline, in which case you get to skip the challenge for 2 whole matches no matter how long or short they are.
