Challenge Points in Apex Legends are not a currency like Apex coins, but probably as valuable considering their worth in the long run. While players cannot spend challenge points on Apex Packs or new skins, the incentive lies in gaining battle pass ranks by earning enough challenge points, which can help players gain some of the cool new rewards in Apex Legends Season Five.
With the arrival of Apex Legends’ Fifth Season, Fortune’s Favor, players can not only test out the new champion Loba, but have a much-welcomed refresh of the challenge system. Before Fortune’s Favor, Apex Legends players could only complete daily or weekly challenges to gain challenge points to earn free battle pass levels, but Fortune’s Favor adds a new way to make the grind a bit more fun.

The season based weekly challenges are challenges unlocked each week of the season and contain an additional seven challenges players can complete for additional CP and battle pass ranks. Lastly, with Fortune’s Favor comes the quest The Broken Ghost and the addition of treasure packs. While treasure packs and quest progress are a separate affair, finding treasure packs can award players with challenge points.
With numerous challenges being cycled daily, players should be kept busy grinding for the duration of the season. Each challenge goes a long way in grinding for battle pass ranks so players should take advantage early in the season to get
