How is Apex Rating calculated? What are the ways in which you can raise your apex rating. Also, my current apex rating is around 6,000 or 7,000 and I have never been kicked from a gold extraction but I dont play them much yet what is about the average rating for gold missions this form has seen. This is the main reason I am asking all this because I want to start doing alot of gold missions for the credits.

Apex rating isn't that important. I don't know how it is calculated.
I don't kick people from lobbies for low gear or low apex rating. I kick for poor performance after returning to the lobby. Poor performance is to me not doing objectives, afking, etc(dying a lot and low score are situationally important). I am sure most lobbies are that way too. 6000-7000 is not low. I normally see people with ~2500 in gold that perform just fine.
Play gold if you feel somewhat comfortable there and have fun. If you feel like you are not contributing, go back to silver.

No one really knows, apparently. I looked around on the webs and there are all kinds of assertions of how it incorporates scoring best in matches,scoring in-game medals, leveling up characters and even kill/death ratio is mentioned. Yet none of these 'reports' have any underlying statistics or sources so they're all bogus as far as I'm concerned. Yet, that being said, no one can sensibly assert that APEX rating isn't that important either.
The only thing I know for sure is that it obviously goes up by playing MP matches and that you get 25 APEX points when you reset a character from 20 to 1. I'll have a look in game, though, to see if I can figure anything out...

The APEX rating can represent the time spent in multiplayer. No ones really know it is calculated, but I've spent some time in the MP and I'm at 14500. When a APEX 50 joins the game you know it's pretty much his first games and an APEX 24000 should have unlocked everything to level X

5 apex per extraction 10 apex per apex mission extraction 50 apex per 5 levels of character and weapon cards scaling apex (of which i'm not exactly sure how much) for completing bronze, silver, and gold level challenges. 1 apex per level gained on every character 25 apex each time you reset a level 20 character to level 1. Apex is generally a pretty good way to ascertain if someone has good equipment with them.
I only pay attention to apex when a tough modifier comes up on gold like "Don't Go Looking For Trouble" (11 waves) or "One Life To Live" those are the matches where I'm kicking a Rank 10, Level 20 Human Adept with 3,000 apex. Other than that Apex is pretty much irrelevant to me.
Edit: Players with mics get kicked way less often in pug lobbies, and I won't vote to kick on players with mics. It's always easy to take a pug to water, they just have to drink.

O and with "50 apex per 5 levels of character and weapon cards" you mean that you get 100 APEX for every weapon and character maxed to level X?

So yes, 100 total for each weapon. It's the same across all rarities of characters and items. My data source is my maxed manifest.

I think you may also get 1 Alex point per level for strike teams as well, in addition to the other ways listed.
Edit: Apex, not Alex

I began talking and warning them when an enemy was behind them.

I don't care about APEX rating as long as the person seems to have a semi-competent build. If someone joins and there like APEX 5 with a Charger equip on there level 1 Human Adept I'll let it slide, but if there APEX 300 joins with like a Widow I and some other super heavy gun that is going to make them useless the whole time then they are getting kicked.
Because at least the level 1 dude can use his abilities and set up combos and such, the other guy is just going to run around tickling sh** with his widow and have CD's so long by the time he gets to use one of his abilities a second time 3 waves have gone by.
Actually had a dude like this a few days ago, he had a Widow and something else equip and it took him 5 waves to break 2000 points, rest of the team had like 18K/14K/14K.

All I know is if someone has over 20000 Apex rating..
The person might deserve benefit of doubt to be a decent player...
