All aboard, Legends! The Winter’s Haunt is rolling in like a snowstorm, bringing the electrifying Winter Express LTM back. You’ll be racking up Ice Gems to unlock some seriously cool rewards, including Epic skins for Valkyrie and the Triple Take. And guess what? 30 chilling cosmetics are waiting to be snagged! Will you be iced out, or will you rise to glory?
WINTER EXPRESS RETURNS
Not familiar with this fan favorite? Let me break it down for you: three squads hop on board a train, but only one can claim victory! Please keep your eyes peeled because when that train stops at a station, it’s game time. Capture the train or take out all enemies to score points. And guess what? You can choose any Legend and use any weapon, talk about freedom!
MILESTONE EVENT ITEMS
Collecting those bone-chilling limited-time cosmetics has never been easier! With each item you snag during Winter’s Haunt, you’ll inch closer to unlocking bonus rewards like Apex Packs and an astonishing 150 Heirloom Shards.
And speaking of collectibles, if you unlock Bloodhound’s Heirloom “Winter’s Bane,” you’ll also get his matching Mythic Banner Frame and Finisher. Plus, deck out your Hemlok with “Attunement,” which gets cooler with every elimination, how rad is that?
REWARD SHOP
Complete those daily event challenges to earn Ice Gems and visit the Winter’s Haunt Reward Shop to pick your own reward adventure. Oh boy, things will rotate halfway through too, so keep your eyes peeled!
EVENT STORE
Just want those frosty Legend skins? All six designs are available for direct purchase until the event wraps up, no need for Event Packs here!

Here’s a couple of open bugs we’ve seen chatter around:
- Akimbo Weapon Mastery: Held XP isn’t generating correctly in match summary.
- Graphics:No shaders loading at boot causing stutters/missing textures.
- Welcome Pass:A hotfix went out earlier this week for players stuck at Level 39.
