What is the Golden Ticket in Apex Legends?

Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment is well known for its use of teasers to drop hints about upcoming seasons. Now that season 14 is rapidly coming to a close, the developer has once again started teasing upcoming content. These teasers, alongside leaks and data-mined information, point to a new map that has something to do with legend Seer’s home planet of Boreas.

To get the ball rolling before season 15’s launch, Respawn introduced a new interactive teaser called the Golden Ticket. This ticket will be essential during the next phase of the teaser, which will likely give players their first glimpse at a new battle royale map.

So, what exactly is Apex‘s Golden Ticket?

Apex’s Golden Tickets, explained

The Golden Ticket is a craftable item in Apex. To obtain one, you’ll need to join a battle royale match and make it to a Replicator. When you find one, you’ll notice that the logo above it has been changed from green to gold to indicate the presence of Golden Tickets.

Interact with the Replicator as usual to bring up the crafting menu, which will give you the option to craft a Golden Ticket for 125 materials. While this seems expensive, particularly considering the ticket does nothing after you craft it, you’re also given a fully-kitted weapon for your materials.

After you craft a Golden Ticket, you remain in possession of it.

How to see the new map in Apex Legends

Once you’ve crafted a Golden Ticket, you will be able to unlock the “A New Home” teaser. To do this, go to the game mode select tab, and look at the top right corner of the screen. Next to the podium icon, you should see the button labeled “A New Home.” Select it.

Once you’ve selected the teaser as your game mode, just hit the ready button like you would to load into a normal mode of Apex. Once you’ve done that and the game loads you in, the teaser starts and you’ll be able to zip around some new areas. This teaser is only available to players who have crafted a Golden Ticket and picked it up in a normal game mode, but once that Golden Ticket has been picked up, you can access the teaser as many times as you like while it remains in the game.
