Mirage is a unique looking character. Using technology to create holograms of himself, he can be used to misdirect other squads while you sneak up and destroy them. Both Caustic and Mirage are the only two Legends stuck behind a paywall, so you will need some Apex coins to get them out.
What if you hate spending money in games?
There is a way to unlock Mirage without spending your hard-earned pennies but it can't be done on day one. Each time you level up you are awarded 600 legend tokens and you can unlock the Player characters at 12,000 tokens. That means you will need to reach level 20 before you can "purchase" them for free.
If you can't wait that long or you are happy to give Respawn some money, here is the quickest way to do it.

Our top equipment picks
These are the only two things you need to buy to unlock Mirage, and the game Apex Legends is free to play.
The quickest way to get Mirage
Apex Coins are the microtransaction currency of choice for Apex Legends. Happily, it is only used to purchase cosmetics, there is no Pay-to-Win here, though you can purchase new Player Characters as well.
While it is possible to get Mirage through the free in-game currency, if you want to play as him from day one you will need to spend some cash. He costs 750 Apex coins but as the minimum coins you can get is 1,000, you will need to at least buy that.
The ultimate game console
With Xbox One X, you are at the forefront of gaming console technology. With 4K visuals and blistering speed, the Xbox One X is the most futuristic console we have ever seen.
While there are other choices of Xbox One out there, the One X stands supreme. This bundle also comes with the excellent Metro series, including the newest release, Metro: Exodus, which seems custom built for the Xbox One X.
