The Fight or Fright event also has 24 Event Limited premium cosmetics. Players can unlock them either by direct unlocking with Crafting Metals, direct purchase for Apex Coins or random unlocks with Event Apex Packs. The Event Currency in these three packs has been replaced with non-event loot drops, yielding more loot overall.
The Apex Legends update also has a Lifeline Heirloom Set Preview. This feature allows the player to unlock all the 24 Fight or Fright pack cosmetics during the event and even unlock the Lifeline Heirloom set for free.
Players can also experience Kings Canyon at Night in Shadowfall. Darkness descends on Kings Canyon which is a warped version of the Apex games hosted by a mysterious figure. You start this game as a solo player with 34 others, by entering into an eerily-lit Kings Canyon and fight to the death. Then after dying you respawn as an undead version of your Legend and join the mighty “Shadow Squad”. During Fight or Fright, completing a variety of challenges earns you free exclusive skins, badges and music packs.
You can also play the Event Limited Premium Cosmetics. This is a set of 4 themed, limited-time cosmetics to Apex which are available from day one through direct purchase, crafting, and Event Apex Packs.
Respawn Entertainment has removed the event currency from the Event Apex Packs and replaced it with additional loot. So the players will get more total items and zero duplicates in each Event Apex Pack. Non- Event items will be either weapon Skins, Legend Skins, Banner Poses, Legend Finishers, Banner Stat Trackers, Kills Quips, Intro Quips or Crafting Metals.
The developer also informed the fans on the update of unlocking the newest Heirloom item during the preview event. Unlocking all the 24 Fight of Fright Collection Pack Items during the game leads to unlocking the Lifeline Heirloom set for free. In Case players fail to unlock this new Heirloom set during the event, they can enjoy it as a bonus in Apex Packs after the event.
There is also a double XP for Top 5 & Wins Weekend. Players will earn double XP for top 5’s and Wins Weekend as from 10 am PST on October 25 through 10 am PST on October 28. The bonus will affect both Battle Pass and Account Level Progression.
The event also packs double Top 5 & Wins XP for the weekend as from 10 am PST on October 25 through 10 am PST on October 28. The bonus will affect both the Account Level and Battle Pass progression.
