Apex Legends x Gundam Event

Gundam comes to the Outlands March 10.

Fight in the Gundam universe and wield iconic weapons like the Buster Rifle, unleash Gundam Wildcard abilities, and fight on a Broken Moon filled with destroyed Mobile Suits and Gundam Wing statues. Celebrate your love of the fandom (without getting a Gquuuuuux tattoo) with Legendary cosmetics, Gundam-inspired skins, a Limited Edition Gunpla drop, and more.

Drop into Wildcard and earn your wings. Broken Moon transforms into a full Gundam battlefield for the event, with destroyed Mobile Suits scattered across the terrain, massive climbable Wing Gundam statues, and ships battling overhead.

Grab the Buster Rifle from Care Packages and launch skyward for aerial recon, scan through walls to mark every enemy, and fire laser beams that cut through cover and explode on impact.

Use Bit Staves as shields to absorb damage while you push, or switch to Drone Command and send them out to patrol, scan, and attack anyone who dares trespass in your territory.

Unleash lethal Gundam abilities with new Wild Cards, including:

• Epyon's Lash: Adds a magnetic melee pull Tactical ability, and more.

• Heavyarms Salvo: Marks enemies for air support missile strikes after landing multiple hits.

• Zero Sacrifice: Adds the option to trigger a self-destruct explosion on knock, taking nearby enemies with you.

• Zero Rebirth: Enter the Void when knocked, then exit with 1 HP, temporary invulnerability and health regen.

We thought long and hard about which Legends were the right fit for each Mobile Suit. And after only a few dozen hours of fierce debate and a rewatch of original VHS tapes (subbed obviously), we set to work. We’ve got Gundam-inspired skins for 8 Legends, each one tailored to the Legend’s personality, playstyle, and lore:

• Alter: Gundam Epyon

• Conduit: Gundam Aerial

• Crypto: Freedom Gundam

• Gibby: Xi Gundam

• Mirage: Destiny Gundam Spec II

• Octane: GQuuuuuux

• Revenant: Gundam Deathscythe Hell

• Valkyrie: Wing Gundam Zero

Plus, a Char Aznable-inspired Sparrow Skin available in the Reward Shop.

You want more, huh? How about a Buster Rifle? Check out 8 stunning new Gundam-themed weapon skins, including the “Buster Rifle” Kraber, the “Destiny 99” R-99, and the “Aerial 301” R-301. Two Gundam-inspired Mythics are also available during the Event:

• Epyon Heat Rod

• Beam Saber

The Epyon Heat Rod is available as a possible drop in Gundam Heat Rod Event Packs, while the Beam Saber is available as a possible drop in Gundam Beam Saber Event Packs.

Earn Medals during the Event to unlock items from the Reward Shop, including an Epic Char Aznable-inspired Sparrow skin, plus a Gundam-themed Banner Frame, Trackers, and Sticker.

Hit up the limited-time Apex Legends x Gundam Event Store to directly purchase any Legend Skins from the Event until April 14.

Here are some updates and fixes from our most recent patches:

• Fixed an edge case crash impacting Trios and Duos

• Server stability improvements

• Fixed a hole where players were able to fall through on Broken Moon in BR and Wildcard

• Completing Road to Ranked Challenges now correctly unlock Ranked

• Fixed a situation where players would lose access to main tabs on home screens or their currencies would display incorrectly

• "Riptide Predator" Peacekeeper Skin draw speed now matches all other weapons

• Choosing a controller perk now grants that Legend the ability to reinforce Hardlight as intended

• Players will no longer spawn over water in Wildcard

• Adjusted Ranked lobbies to provide either a Dropship or Drop Zone experiences based on that lobby's players' rank composition

Drop Zones rules:

• All matches with 10+ Diamond players OR 1+ Master/Predator player will have Drop Zones

• Players may experience a mixture of Dropship and Drop Zone matches, particularly for Platinum players or those squadding up with Diamond+ players, as we work out the thresholds

• If your pending lobby will have Drop Zones you will see “RANKED - DROP ZONES” displayed on the match loading screen

• When loading into a Drop Zones match, the Rank Tier Display will show each player's individual Rank Tier (Dropship matches will keep the current 'Squad' version of the Rank Tier Distribution)

Here’s a couple of the open issues that we’ve seen some community chatter around that are currently being worked on. Stay up to date with our progress on these issues and more on our public Trello board.

• When using a controller, there is an issue where some Legends cannot activate their ultimate while their tactical is available
