EA and Respawn have announced an all new Apex Legends event called the new Sun Squad Collection Event which will start on March 28th till April 11th (PT time).
The upcoming new event from Apex of Legends comes with a brand new mode called Heatwave which is described as follows:
HEATWAVE is a new limited-time mode that turns up the heat on the Apex Games. All the usual rules of Trio’s apply, but you’ll want to look out for Heatwaves that periodically happen throughout the match. When the heats on, you’ll need to avoid taking damage from the sun by taking cover indoors or under objects. If you’re caught out in the open, only sliding cools you down if you want to avoid Heatwave damage on the move. Lastly, Heatshields have increased in size and protect you in a large area from the sun for those moments when you’re caught outdoors and need to beat the heat quickly. Take care when using Heatshields though, they will be destroyed quickly when deployed outside the Ring.
Keep an eye out for Care Packages. Perhaps there lies another way to mitigate the effects of the sun and look cool while doing it. But you’ll need to jump into the mode on March 28th to find out more.
There will also be 24 limited-time cosmetics available during the event and if you managed to unlock all 24, you will receive Ash’s new Heirloom, “Strongest Link”.
Additional items can also be earned through the event’s reward tracker which has challenges that refresh daily, and stack with the Battle Pass so multiple challenges can be completed at once.
There will also be limited-time offers in the store for various bundles and cosmetic items.
Apex Legends new event is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S , Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC.
Further information regarding the new event may be found at their official website.
