Gaiden Event

GAIDEN EVENT

The anime-themed event starts next week at the usual time and day. Unfortunately no trailer for this event. First time that a thematic event will come out without a trailer. 

ARMED AND DANGEROUS LTM

Rack your shotguns and wipe down your scopes because Armed and Dangerous is back, where weapons are limited to snipers and shotguns, and loot overall is much harder to come by. Armed and Dangerous will be available from July 19th to August 2nd with World’s Edge, Olympus, and Storm Point as the map rotation.

*You can craft a Kraber or a Mastiff in the replicator.

GAIDEN FLASH EVENTS

*Two event trackers for the two week event. 

Summon your inner hero and play your way through two unique weekly challenge tracks to unlock event-themed cosmetics.

July 19th to July 26th

  • Rewards include:
    • Fuse’s Down Thunder Epic Skin *Full Metal Alchemist skin
    • Bionic Buddy Gun Charm
    • Epic 3030 “Cloudburst” Skin

July 26th to August 2nd

  • Rewards include: 
    • OK Holospray
    • 1 Gaiden Event Pack
    • 1 Apex Pack

GAIDEN EVENT-LIMITED ITEMS

Summon your inner hero with 40 adventurous event-limited cosmetics, including new Legendary skins for Revenant, Mirage, Octane and Wattson with complementary skins for the Flatline, Wingman, EVA-8 and Charge Rifle.

*Remember that these skins will be 50% off two seasons from now if you want to save up some crafting metals.

BANGALORE PRESTIGE SKIN

*My personal favorite type of cosmetic /s

If you collect all 40 event items, you’ll unlock the newest Prestige skin, Bangalore’s “Apex Commander”! Prestige Skins are Mythic cosmetic Legend skins that each have 3 tiers (3 versions total of the Prestige Skin). Upon unlocking tier 1 of a Prestige Skin, a player will be able to complete challenges to unlock Tier 2 and Tier 3 at no additional cost. Players can continue to complete these challenges, once available, even after the end of the event. Once a Prestige Skin Tier’s challenge is completed a player will unlock that respective tier’s version of the Legend skin which can then be equipped. Players have the ability to equip any unlocked tier of a Prestige Skin once owned.

  • Gaiden Event Packs are available for a limited time during the Gaiden Event, but the items will be available in the standard Apex Pack pool of items after the event ends.
  • Gaiden Event Packs guarantee you one non-duplicate Gaiden Event item.
  • The new event will introduce 40 new cosmetic items around the Gaiden theme.
  • Gaiden items can be crafted with crafting metals. After two seasons, crafting metal costs of Gaiden Items may be reduced.
  • To preview/view what the new items are, players can go to the thematic event tab in-game

    @hayhor Oh ok, I guess I can work with that. I'm with you though, and wish they were just on the floor. I want to use this mode to practice with the beast, Lol. I was doing fairly well with the Longbow last night though, so I can't complain too much I suppose. I ran a Sentinel one match, but couldn't find enough cells to heal and charge it up, to make it viable in my hands

    @dSKyNafinchin That's the issue I found too. I enjoy the sentinel but with extremely limited cells it's less powerful.

    @KyldenarI can name more than 10 skins that are more outrageous than these anime skins way before you uninstalled the game. One is even my avatar in this website.


    I mean, you do you man, but I really dislike skins that look nothing like the original and have nothing to do with the lore in any game. Angers me in Guild Wars 2 as well.

    I really dislike it when they make it harder to tell right away who/what you are fighting, as the delay of not knowing what to expect can cost an engagement.

    If they were going to take this IP and make it look so far away from the original IP, what's the point of the IP? Make 'Generic Squad Based Fortnite Cash Cow' and move on.
