Because I saw this brought up in a couple of different threads, and I realized what was happening last night.
When you manually play a Strike Team APEX mission, it takes you to a screen that shows all the details about the mission, and there's the option to Create or Join. Joining does NOT guarantee that you are going to find a mission for the APEX mission. It seems if matchmaking can't initially match the mission, it will then look at the map and faction selected, and just dump you into a random pug on that map and/or enemy. So, like, last night there was a Bronze APEX mission at Magma against Kett. I ran it, and got no rewards or mission funds. I thought, that's weird. And it was still there.
In the lobby, on the right with all the mission details, the top option is Mission. If it says "Custom" then you aren't doing an APEX mission. It should say "False Flag" or "Find the Artifact" or whatever the title of the APEX mission is. Or just host your own to if you can to save time.
Hopefully this helps people from wasting time trying to PUG those missions. Once I realized that last night, it took loading 6 or 7 different lobbies before I found one that was actually the APEX mission and not just a random PUG.

SalMasRac Apparently the microtransactions work just fine, probably the first (and only) thing they tested during their extensive internal tech test

It's obviously designed to minimize wait time during matchmaking, but it doesn't warn you that it didn't find an APEX mission. What it should do instead is after awhile of searching, it should just create a lobby with you as host, then you can choose to back out and search again, or host.

Does anyone know if you can only get the rewards from apex missions once a day? I did the bronze kett one again, made sure the mission name was there and I have the same number of mission funds. I thought I could farm mission funds. :sob:

when youre in the lobby and it says mission modifiers: 1, is there any way to know what modifiers are in place? I mean, other than learning beforehand about a particular APEX mission; lets just say you join a random lobby and it has some modifier.

It's bugged, but not because of system finding games with similar enemies/maps. It's because after you (as a host) played 1 apex game mission, lobby will no longer a apex mission, it will auto turn into normal match with same enemies/maps. Also last night there are was bronze apex mission which was not counted whatever you do and if you try to send strike team to complete this, game just losing connection to ea servers and drop you to main menu.

Select the mission name/type and it will show you the host options page that should have all the modifiers listed at lest that the case for me.

I'll look for that, I couldnt find anywhere to click to check the mission details. I blame the terrible lobby/MP interface.
