How to get Apex Legends 20 kill badge

In order to get the 20 kill badge, players must rack up 20 kills in a single battle royale match. Unfortunately, players cannot gain the 20 kill badge in the Mixtape playlist or LTMs, but it would be a pretty big achievement if you got that number of kills in any LTM.

You may think that only Apex Predators and Masters are good enough to get this kind of badge. However, in reality, it takes time and patience to get the 20 kill badge, as well as a little bit of luck.

Here are our tips and tricks for getting the Apex Legends 20 kill badge.

Be patient

If you’re off to a good start in a match and have picked up some kills off the drop, stay patient and don’t start losing composure. Work out how many enemies are left alive, figure out a plan to eliminate the number of enemies you need, and stick with it.

Just getting a victory can be demanding some days in Apex Legends, but patience is the key to reaching your goals and getting the 20 kill badge. Having a mentality of taking your time and working to achieve something can also be applied to your gameplay.

Be persistent

Similarly to being patient, players will also have to be persistent on their journey to getting the 20 kill badge. Not every match will have the same opportunities, some games will end early, and the chance to get 20 kills may be distant after the first round.

Some games will be different and have an abundance of players right up until the final circles. Just stay persistent and don’t give up, that perfect lobby will come.

Drop strategically

Sometimes dropping hot may give you the best chance of obtaining the 20 kill badge, especially if you get off to a good start and survive the chaos. However, sometimes it’s best to drop strategically, get the loot you need, and push the areas you know players will be fighting.

No fill or find a teammate to assist

The worst thing that can happen is for you to be close to your 20 kill badge, and some random teammates swoop in, taking the final kills you need to reach the goal. You can avoid this by simply unticking “Fill Teammates” in the lobby, allowing you to play games as a solo.

Alternatively, you can get one of your friends to help you obtain the badge by asking them to assist you, doing damage to enemies so that you can still get the kills.

Hopefully, these tips can help you get the Apex Legends 20 kill badge in the battle royale title. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, so keep trying!
