Apex Legends will finally be coming to Steam later this Fall, and today, Respawn revealed some of the Steam-exclusive content which will be available when it launches. The studio has partnered with Valve to produce three different Apex Legends Gun Charms. Each of these features crossover content from either the Half-Life or Portal franchises.
New Apex Legends Steam-Exclusive Gun Charms
“We have some exciting news for those of you eargerly awaiting Apex Legends’ release on Steam this fall,” announced Respawn, earlier today; “We’re celebrating by giving away some very special gun charms to Steam players. It’s our way of saying welcome to the Arena. For something this momentous, we couldn’t give you something half-baked — that’s why we partnered with Valve to design these Half-Life and Portal inspired gun charms!”
There are three Steam-exclusive Gun Charms in total; all of which will be available to Steam players when Apex Legends launches on the platform. These include the Headcrab Runner, which is based on Octane but as a Half-Life zombie with a headcrab covering his head. There is also the Wired Companions charm, which features Wattson with a Portal companion cube. Finally, there’s the PotatOS gun charm, which is simply GLaDOS from Portal in a potato.
These three exclusive gun charms will be available in the Steam version of Apex Legends for a limited time. Rather than appearing as random rewards, players will get them automatically as login rewards. It’s currently not known how long they’ll be available for, or exactly when the game is coming to Steam. The game’s product listing is up on Steam already, however, so fans can Wishlist it for later. Respawn has said that they will update fans about the release date later this year. However, the studio could actually reveal the release date relatively soon; most likely, Apex Legends will come to Steam in around 2-3 months’ time.
