How to get the Suicide Awareness Badge in Apex Legends

The Suicide Awareness Badge in Apex LegendsRespawn/EA

With September marking the commencement of Suicide Awareness Month, Apex Legends has decided to release a badge commemorating those who continue to struggle with mental health, and those who have lost loved ones to suicide.

Apex Legends is no stranger when it comes to shedding light on real-life issues affecting its player base and the world at large.

Back in February, they introduced a Black Lives Matter badge following the social and cultural uprising to show support and solidarity with the communities affected.

Later on in May, a “Stop Asian Hate” badge was released to show solidarity with the Asian community.

And in June, Respawn gave players the ability to equip a Pride Month badge that represented many communities under the LGBTQIA+ banner.

With September being Suicide Awareness Month, Apex Legends has decided to yet again support this much-needed movement by introducing the Suicide Awareness badge, and claiming it for yourself is simple.

Based on Respawn’s approach with previous badges like the BLM badge and Pride Month badge, we expect the Suicide Awareness Badge to be available until the end of the month.

So if you do intend on equipping this badge, you should make sure and log in to Apex Legends at least once during September.
