Intro

So everyone knows that the intro graphic for Apex is super loud and very unnecessary but did you know that you can easily disable it?

There are two ways to do this.
Method 1: Launch Options
The easiest and simplest way is to right click on Apex Legends in your library, select Properties, and click Set Launch Options under the General tab.

Enter the command -dev and be sure to save.

Once the change is made you will be able to launch Apex Legends without the intro. It will skip it entirely and give you the "click to continue" menu, then you can access the main menu.

Method 2: File Directory
Alternatively, you can remove the intro through the game's file directory.

Go to Your Drive > Program Files > Steam > steamapps > common > Apex Legends > media

In this media file you should see two files named "intro.bik" and "respawn.bik"

What you have to do is rename both of these files to something else and KEEP THE .bik PORTION. DO NOT remove the .bik or delete these files.

Example: renamed intro.bik and respawn.bik to apex.bik and legends.bik



















Hope this guide was helpful and good luck in becoming the next Apex Champion!

You're welcome. The -novid command no longer works.

Thank you! I was about to go nuts since the -novid wasn't working.
