What $100 Gets You in Apex Legends
If you’ve been playing Apex Legends and have yet to part with any of your money, we’ve saved you the hassle of trying to figure out what’s what by spending 100 dollars in Respawn’s battle royale shooter.
Because Apex Legends is free-to-play, microtransactions are inevitably going to be a part of its ecosystem. For consumers who are unclear with how mictrotransactions work in Apex Legends, don’t worry: all of them are 100% cosmetic, which means you can’t get an edge in the game if you fork out cash.
You can actually see every unlockable cosmetic if you head over to the legend and armory tab. There are over 1900 total items with 4 tiers of rarity: common, rare, epic, and legendary. Players will have unlocked 45 total apex boxes once they reach level 100 and with 3 items per loot box, that means you are getting access to 135 free items.

What Does the Ending of Russian Doll Mean?
Warning: The following story contains spoilers for Russian Doll on Netflix. (Obviously.) For more, read our Netflix's Russian Doll Season 1 review.
Now that you've made it through the tumultuous and triumphant Russian Doll - which is a surefire Year's Best contender - we can dig into the ending in an attempt to decipher what actually happened.
Keep in mind, Russian Doll isn't a show about hard answers. It's about feelings, themes, and cosmic connectivity that doesn't easily break down into solvable equations. Like 1993's Groundhog Day, which is pop culture ground zero for the "repeat the day" premise this series lovingly lassos, there's no conclusive answer for the surreal and supernatural happenstance that's afflicting Nadia and Alan.
