This game mode will likely replace the Grand Slam bat in the care packages and bring in the Mythical Flatline. Fans also have the chance to loot the EPG-1 grenade launcher from Mythic Bins in the game.

Apex Legends Wild Iron event skins

The new update will introduce a new Milestone event to introduce the Mythical Flatline skin. Here is a list of the weapons and legends that we know so far will receive Wild Iron makeovers:

Weapons

Mythical Flatline skin
Mastiff
Bocek
Nemesis

Legends

Pathfinder
Lifeline
Vantage
Valkyrie
Conduit
Catalyst

It is important to note that the event will likely introduce a few more weapon skins other than the ones mentioned in the list. All of the cosmetics included in this event have a cybernetics-inspired design with vibrant colors and electrifying elements.

Apex Legends Wild Iron Reward Shop

The new free-to-earn currency for this Reward Shop is called Cores and can be earned by playing the game and completing different challenges. Once you have collected enough Cores, you can exchange them for items from the event shop.

The Reward Shop, similar to previous trends, will likely be refreshed only once with new items. The shop will contain a total of 6 rewards at a time that can be claimed throughout the duration of the event. However, once the shop refreshes, there seems to be no method to obtain items from the previous shuffle.
