Apex Legends Update 2.20 has been released by Respawn Entertainment for the Sun Squad Collection event! Players may expect gameplay tweaks, new cosmetic items, new store items, and more. Read on to discover everything new in the Apex Legends March 28 patch notes, as well as a glossary of new content.
In the Sun Squad Collection Event, it's time to catch and shoot some rays.
Check out Ash's "Strongest Link" Heirloom to see if you can handle the heat in a new limited-time mode Heatwave.
Is the sun out? Guns out in the Sun Squad Collection event featuring a brand new limited-time mode that turns up the heat on Battle Royale, 24 limited-time cosmetics including Legendary skins for Fuse, Mirage, and others, and the debut of Ash's "Strongest Link" Heirloom.
HEATWAVE IS A NEW LIMITED-TIME MODE
HEATWAVE is a new limited-time mode that increases the intensity of the Apex Games. However, you should be cautious about Heatwaves that occur throughout the match. If you're caught outdoors, just sliding cools you down.
Keep an eye out for Care Packages. It's possible that there is a better way to protect yourself from the sun's UV rays and look cool while doing it. But you'll need to get started on March 28th to learn more.
COLLECTION OF THE SUN SQUAD EVENT ITEMS
24 new limited-time cosmetics, including Legendary skins for Ash, Mirage, Fuse, and more!
For the entire duration of the event, all 24 items will be available in exchange for Apex Coins or crafting metals, as well as in Sun Squad Collection Event Apex Packs.
Ash's "Strongest Link" Heirloom will be automatically activated if you unlock all of them before the event concludes!
REWARD TRACKER
Up to 1,600 points can be earned per day, and challenges will be refreshed every day. All of these challenges are also compatible with your Battle Pass, so you may complete many challenges at the same time.
TAB OF THE STOCK
Explore limited-time offers in the Store tab, including the Sub-Mirage or the Shoreline Savior Bundles available March 28th to April 11th only, or Lifeline's Breach and Clear Bundle only available April 4th to April 11th.
