　　The patch notes also detail the Apex Legends Mobile Season 1 Battle Pass, which includes Fade at level 25 in the free track. The store also sorts items differently from Apex Legends, labeling the items rarity as D-S rank, instead of the classic rarity tiers.

　　Apex Legends Mobile is a mobile version of the popular free-to-play battle royale shooter that functions independently of the PC and console version of the game. Apex Legends Mobile doesn't includes the full roster of Legends from Apex Legends and has its own exclusive Legend, Fade. It also includes exclusive game modes, like team death match, that aren't in the normal game. You can read the full Apex Legends Mobile patch notes on the game's official site or below:

　　

Apex Legends Mobile Season 1 Patch Notes

New Legend: Fade

Ignacio Huamaní was the youngest in a family of military-tech hunters. Working together, they made a living “recovering” weaponry and selling it to the highest bidder. As the youngest, he was the lookout, and eager to prove he could handle more. So he took on a contract with a mysterious client, and acquired the suit for him. But it was a trap: his family died, and the suit propelled him into another dimension. It’s been a long journey, but he’s finally back, and ready to find justice and redemption in the Apex Games. He can’t turn back the clock for his family, but on the Battlefield, he is the master of not only his own destiny, but the destiny of those in his crosshairs.
