Respawn Entertainment released a brand new Apex Legends update bringing the Beast of Prey event closer to the players. This update settles all the collection assets on the client PCs, even though the event itself is scheduled to start on September 20.
The patch introduces a lot of entertaining features, including a new limited-time game mode called Gun Run, and a slew of cosmetics which collection will grant the players the latest Loba heirloom, Garra de Alanza. Heirlooms are classified as the most expensive items in the game, and this time you may get one for free.
As for the remaining bits and pieces, this update changes Rampart, fixes some known bugs and issues, and adds quality-of-life improvements.
PATCH NOTES
- NEW LIMITED-TIME MODE: GUN RUN
- Go head-to-head against 3 other squads in a race to master a wide range of weapons. Each time you get a kill with a weapon, you leapfrog over teammates and are given the next highest weapon on the track. Play as a team and get through the track as fast as you can, with some help from infinite ammo, health items and automatic respawns.
- 24 themed limited-time cosmetics
-
Prove yourself a predator and collect 24 themed limited-time cosmetics designed to instill fear in whoever your prey may be. Beast of Prey features new Legendary skins for Horizon, Lifeline, Loba, Fuse, Pathfinder, Octane, and Rampart! All 24 items will be available through direct purchase (for Apex Coins or Crafting Metals) and in Beast of Prey Event Apex Packs for the entire duration of the event. Unlock all 24 limited-time items during this event and you’ll receive Loba’s Heirloom, the “Garra de Alanza”.
