How to Get a Fade in Apex Legends Mobile
You can get Fade in Apex Legends Mobile in two ways:
- Collect 10 Molten Coins
- Buy for 750 Syndicate Gold
Fade Pieces are rewarded two at a time for leveling up on the Prime Time Season 1 Battle Pass, as part of the Free Rewards Tier. You will level up the battle pass by earning EXP by completing “BP” challenges, which can be checked by selecting “Missions” from the battle pass menu.
Reaching level 25 means you’ve collected all 10 Molten Coinsand can now unlock Fade from the “Legends” menu, located on the bottom banner of the main screen, next to “Play”.
However, collecting Fade Pieces can take a while, so if you want to get the new Legend sooner, you can always unlock it by spending Syndicate Gold. Fade costs 750 Syndicate Gold, which can be purchased from the store.
To access the store, tap the Syndicate Gold option in Fade’s Legend sub-menu or navigate to the “Store” menu located at the bottom right of the main menu, then scroll down.
You can buy Syndicate Gold for:
- 280 Syndicate Gold – £2.49
- 465 Syndicate Gold – £4.49
- 935 Syndicate Gold – £8.99
- 2340 Syndicate Gold – £19.99
- 4680 Syndicate Gold – £40.99
- 9365 Syndicate Gold – £79.99
Once you have enough Syndicate Gold, you can return to the Legends menu to unlock Fade.

Fade Abilities Explained in Apex Legends Mobile
Fade is described as a “Phasing Punisher”, whose speed resembles that of Wraith. Her abilities do offer a bit more offensive advantage than Wraith, though.
You can find an overview of all of Fade’s abilities and cooldowns at a glance:
- Passive: Slipstream
- Tactical: Go back
- Ultimate: Phase chamber
Slipstream
When used, Slipstream activates a short move and speed boost at the end of a slide. He has a 10 second cooldown. This relatively fast cooldown on a passive move means Fade can explore, join teammates, and retreat quickly.
Backtrack
This tactical ability allows Fade to rewind its movements by gradually moving backwardswhich is handy for confusing enemies to escape or lining up an unsuspecting kill. Flash Back has a cooldown of 20 seconds.
Phase chamber
Fade’s ultimate ability lets you throw a Phase Cage across the battlefield, which sends all Legends within range into the void. Anyone in the Void cannot deal or take damage, and their movement speed is slowed. This will affect teammates as well as enemies.
This can be useful both for protecting your team while trying to escape a losing battle, or for temporarily incapacitating enemy players while your team focuses their fire on a single, untrapped enemy in the Void. Fade’s ultimate ability has a 90 second cooldown.
Don’t forget to collect Fade Chips during the limited-time Unleash Punishment event this season to unlock a new skin for Fade!
