Next week, Respawn has announced the upcoming launch of an all-new Apex Legends Collection Event; “Aftermarket“. Featuring Flashpoint, a new limited-time game mode, as well as the first-ever beta for cross-play, the Aftermarket Collection Event also features the usual range of new cosmetics for players to unlock. The event is due to start next week, on the 6th of October.
The Apex Legends Aftermarket Collection Event
The headline feature of the Aftermarket Collection event is the launch of Apex Legends’ first cross-play beta, which will be launching on the same day as the event. The mode also features a new game mode, which will only be available during the event. This mode, called Flashpoint, features “Flash Points” which appear around the map where players can regenerate health and shields… in a mode which otherwise lacks healing items.
As per usual, the event also includes a set of 24 cosmetics, which will only be available for the duration of the event. Players will be able to purchase these directly for either Apex Coins or Crafting Materials, or alternately, can unlock them from Event Apex Packs. Each of these packs will include one of the event items (50% chance of Epic, 50% chance of Legendary) and two non-event items (70% chance of Rare, 20% of Epic, and 10% of Legendary).
The Aftermarket Prize Track will feature five additional items for layers to unlock as they play through the event. This track allows players to earn up to 1,000 points per day with its selection of daily challenges. (Note that these points count towards your battle pass progression too.) Finally, some of the event cosmetics will be temporarily available through discounted bundles. The Master Thief (5,000 AC), Turbo Charged (2,500 AC), Speed Rush (1,800 AC), and Burnt Rubber (1,500 AC) bundles will all be available from the 6th of October to the 20th. Individual rare skins and charms will also be available for 500 AC each.
