Bring back Winter Express. Stop replacing unique LTMs with BR reskins

I’m writing this because the 2025 holiday event honestly feels like a letdown. While a snowy Olympus looks great, "Wildcard" is just the same Battle Royale loop we’ve been playing for years with some AI Spectres and a few buffs thrown in.

The Winter Express was the soul of the Holo-Day Bash. It wasn't just another BR variant; it was a fast-paced, objective-driven mode that forced unique Legend metas and non-stop action. It was the perfect "warm-up" and a break from the sweatiness of standard matches.

I understand there are "technical hurdles" with legend abilities on the moving train, but the community would rather see a "Classic" version with limited legends than lose the mode entirely. Sticking to the game's roots is what keeps long-time players around. Right now, it feels like we’re trading high-quality unique modes for low-effort BR modifiers. Please bring back the train for 2026.

  • 100% agreed. The original Winter Express was a lot of fun. Subsequent versions designed to force behaviors were, imo, less successful and less fun, but still preferable to Wildcard, at least as a holiday diversion.

    Sadly, it's too late now for this year. Will there even be a next year? In Apex, I mean. Or in gaming. I'm not saying the world will end or anything, but gaming-wise things are grim.
