The Apex Legends Fight or Fright Collection Event, the first in-game event of Apex Legends‘ third season, is now live and available to play. The event, which is obviously themed around Halloween, follows in the footsteps of the Iron Crown and Voidwalker events from Season 2, introducing new event cosmetics. However, instead of a map takeover, players get to play a new game mode set in its own spooky variant of the Kings Canyon map. Now that it is live, the Fight or Fright event will continue until early November.
What’s Included in the Apex Legends Fight or Fright Collection Event
The biggest part of the new Halloween event is Shadowfall, the new game mode. Set in a nighttime variant of Kings Canyon, Shadowfall pits 32 solo players against one another. However, every player who dies will respawn on the “Shadow Squad”. In this group, Legends have no abilities or weapons, but they do get a speed boost, the ability to climb walls, and a powerful melee strike. These dark hunters have infinite respawns and aim to kill the rest of the players who have yet to die. Once the number of living players falls to 10, those remaining players join forces to rush to an evac vehicle.
Of course, the Apex Legends Fight or Fright event also includes 24 new event cosmetics. Players can unlock these via in-game loot and by completing event challenges. As is clear from the Fight or Fright trailer, these new cosmetics are all Halloween-themed, with plenty of costume-style skins for the Legends. Gather all 24 cosmetics, and you’ll even get Lifeline’s Heirloom set for free.
The Fight or Fright collection event is live now, and will be live until the 5th of November. After that, it’s unknown whether Respawn has more events like this in the planning. However, following the current trend, such a case is very likely. For now, fans can look forward to the upcoming Apex Legends Firing Range; a new training mode which is coming later in Season 3.
