Where there is good, there is also evil, and Apex Legends features a trio of skins representing villains that combat heroes. These cosmetics are for Octane, Ash, and Horizon. The skins feature glowing neon green and black colors that bring out the legends' sinister side.

The Ash cosmetic will be offered as a free login reward during the event. With this gorgeous skin equipped, players can showcase the character's deadly combat skills in all their glory.

Players were awfully disappointed when the game didn't feature a satisfying final reward during the 2022 Anniversary Collection Event. The developers have taken fan feedback into consideration and are bringing back prestigious Heirloom Shards as the final reward for the fourth-anniversary occasion.

After unlocking all 24 items in the anniversary collection, players will be rewarded with 150 Heirloom Shards. With these, gamers can unlock a single mythic cosmetic item in the game. This could be an heirloom set for their favorite legends or the three-tiered prestige skins, which include a custom finisher.

Players can also stock up on these shards for future collection events that will feature new heirlooms or prestige skins related to current or future legends.


Apex Legends Season 16 Revelry arrives February 14, 2023, on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Nintendo Switch.
