Apex Legends Harbinger Collection Event

Take heed, Legends, night has fallen and with it has come the messengers of Death. No need to lose your head. Take up a Rev Shell and set sights on your target for a limited-time in Living Shell Trios. And with the night still young yet, enter World’s Edge After Dark, a hellish variant live with the Harbingers Collection Event from September 19 to October 3, 2023. Unlock all 24 limited-time cosmetics before the event ends to earn our latest heirloom, Fuse's Razor's Edge.

NEW LIMITED-TIME: LIVING SHELL TRIOS

A new ordnance is upon us—the Rev Shell. For a limited-time, take out your enemies with a target-seeking grenade that looks almost as scary as the damage it does. Grab a shell, toss it in the air, and it will take care of the rest—looking for valid targets before dealing significant damage. But beware, your opponents can take aim and shoot it down to cause an early detonation. Living Shell Trios is available for the full length of the Harbingers Collection Event, September 19 to October 3, 2023.

MAP: WORLD’S EDGE AFTER DARK

Shrouded in Darkness, World’s Edge becomes a bewitched battleground featuring updates to once familiar POIs. Enter the Pain Yard at your own risk to fight around a train going nowhere, or keep warm by The Tree in its flaming glory. But watch out for lava—it’s a MRVN’s worst nightmare and may be yours too.

COLLECTION EVENT ITEMS

Unlock 24 death-defying limited-time cosmetics, with Legendary skins for Fuse, Bloodhound, and more!

All 24 items will be available in exchange for Apex Coins or Crafting Metals and in Harbingers Event Apex Packs† for the entire duration of the event.

No need to ease off the caffeine. Pick up every limited-time item before the event ends to automatically unlock Walter “Fuse” Fitzroy Jr’s heirloom: the Razor’s Edge.

REWARD TRACKER

You can earn up to 1,400 points per day, challenges refresh daily, and all challenges stack with your Battle Pass so you can complete multiple challenges at once. Take on additional skill-based goals to unlock three unique variants of the Harbingers badge, and collect all three to unlock a grand final badge for completing everything.

Apex Legends Gameplay

Gameplay in Apex Legends is all about fast-paced multiplayer action. You team up with two other players to form a squad, and each player chooses a unique character known as a "Legend." These Legends have special abilities that bring different strategies to your team, making every match exciting. The game offers various modes, including solo play and two-player squads, in addition to the standard three-player squads.

As you jump into the game, you and your squadmates get to pick your favorite Legends from a growing roster of 24 characters. Each Legend has its own personality, look, and special abilities that can turn the tide of battle. To add more variety, starting from Season 16, Legends are categorized into five unique class styles, including Assault, Skirmisher, Recon, Controller, and Support.

The match begins with your squad aboard an aircraft flying over the game map. One player takes the role of the jumpmaster, deciding when and where your squad will parachute down. However, you're not bound to stick together; you can go your own way if you prefer. Once you hit the ground, it's a race to find weapons, armor, and gear while keeping an eye out for other squads. Apex Legends has a handy "ping system" that lets you communicate with your team without using voice chat. You can mark directions, weapon locations, enemies, and tactics, making teamwork a breeze.

As time passes, the game's safe zone shrinks, forcing squads closer together and creating intense encounters. If you find yourself outside this zone, you'll take damage and could be eliminated if you don't get back in time. The last squad with at least one member left standing wins the title of "Apex Champions." Even if you get knocked down during a match, your squad can revive you. If you're eliminated entirely, there's still hope.

Your teammates can grab your respawn banner, which appears where you fell, and take it to one of several beacons on the island to bring you back into the action. Just remember, there's a time limit, so act fast or face permanent elimination. With its dynamic gameplay and unique features, Apex Legends offers an adrenaline-pumping battle royale experience like no other.
