Most picked Legends in Apex Legends Season 20

Sneaking into fifth is Bangalore.

Bangalore finds herself in fifth position with a solid 6.8% pick rate. This Legend has been strong ever since being introduced to the game, as her effectiveness in both defensive and offensive plays allows her to shine.

Her Tactical gives Bangalore and her team protection, while her Passive keeps her light on her feet and hard to hit while being shot at. Lastly, her Ultimate is perfect for crowd control and stopping enemies from pushing.

4. Wraith – 7%

Wraith is easily one of the most iconic and popular Legends since the game’s release, currently sitting in fourth position with a 7% pick rate.

Her abilities are great for survivability and getting the team out of sticky situations, making her a great offense Legend, but also a great Legend for rotation and defense when your team needs an escape.

3. Pathfinder – 7.8%

Pathfinder swings his way to the number three spot.

Pathfinder has consistently been one of Apex Legends’ top five picks and is currently sitting in third place with a 7.6% pick rate.

As a Skirmisher class, Pathfinder simply excels in movements and traversing the game’s various maps. His Grappling Hook and Zipline Gun are simply invaluable assets that will help any team in a pinch – either because of the circle or a third-party situation.

2. Octane – 8.5%

Octane bounces into number two.

With an 8.3% pick rate, the speed demon Octane has taken the number two spot in Season 20. Aside from his amusing quips, he is the perfect balance of offense and defense.

Despite being regarded as an offensive Legend, Octane can greatly increase his sprint speed which is useful for both attacking and running away. But, most Octane users thrive on his Launch Pad Ultimate which can send him, and friendly players, high up into the air.

1. Rampart – 8.5%

Apex Legends Rampart
Rampart has shot straight to the top in Season 20.

Rampart has shot up in popularity and has quickly become the most popular Legend in Season 20 of Apex Legends. She’s topped the chart primarily due to being free with the new challenges.

Naturally, you’ll come across a ton of players playing Rampart this season and many in the community are loving the new characters being free for the seasonal challenges.

It’s also worth noting that Rampart’s utility wasn’t tweaked in Season 20, and she remains an impressive character to main.


That covers all the picks in Apex Legends Season 20. As always, buffs and nerfs will come and go throughout the season, altering the game’s meta, and subsequently, Legend pick rates.
