- Have Login Verification enabled
- Be Level 10 or higher in Apex Legends
- Have enough Apex Coins on your account to afford the gift
- Be friends with the person in-game for at least two weeks

To Receive Gifts
To receive gifts in Apex Legends, you must meet the following criteria:
- Be friends with the person in-game for at least two weeks

What Can You Gift In Apex Legends

Feel free to surprise your friend with Skins, Weapon Charms, Emotes, and the like, whether as individual purchases or bundles. Thematic Packs Collection Event Items are off-limits, for now, at least. Similarly, you cannot gift Apex Coins.
If your friend already owns an item, you won't be able to send another copy of it as a gift. When it comes to gifting bundles, you'll receive a discount for any items in the bundle that your friend already owns.
For some final gifting stipulations: remember that you cannot purchase gifts with Apex Legends Crafting Metals — only Apex Coins. Also, you can't gift items from your inventory. And lastly, gifts are non-refundable.
- You can't outright give away playable characters, either. To unlock those, you must know how to get Legend Tokens in Apex Legends.
