Note that Octane is not included in the Season 1 Battle Pass, but is a separate addition to Apex Legends. As such, Octane must be purchased separately from the Season 1 Battle Pass. If you don’t see Octane in the list of Legends, close out of Apex Legends and restart the game. In doing so, you should notice the game download the latest update introducing the Season 1 Battle Pass and Octane.
Again, the update will launch at 10 a.m. (PST) or 1 p.m. (EST) on Tuesday, March 19. Once this update has finished downloading, open the game and navigate to the Legends tab to view Octane and learn more about how his character works. If you like Octane and wish to unlock him immediately, all you need to do is exchange either 750 Apex Coins or 12,000 Legend Tokens.

“His Adrenaline Junkie ability lets him trade health for speed, and an endless supply of Stim health regeneration means he’s always ready for action. His Launch Pad Ultimate Ability lets his squad fly through the air with the greatest of ease.”
To recap, Octane unlocks at the same time as the Season 1 Battle Pass in Apex Legends on March 19 at 10 a.m. (PST) and 1 p.m. (EST). Octane is separate from the Season 1 Battle Pass, meaning if you wish to unlock him you’ll need to purchase him separately.
