Apex 2.20 Patch Notes – March 28, 2023
NEW LIMITED-TIME MODE: HEATWAVE
HEATWAVE is a new limited-time mode where Heatwaves periodically happen throughout the match. When the heats on, you’ll need to avoid taking damage from the sun by taking cover indoors or under objects. If you’re caught out in the open, only sliding cools you down if you want to avoid Heatwave damage on the move.
Lastly, Heatshields have increased in size and protect you in a large area from the sun for those moments when you’re caught outdoors and need to beat the heat quickly. Take care when using Heatshields though, they will be destroyed quickly when deployed outside the Ring.
SUN SQUAD COLLECTION EVENT ITEMS
Unlock 24 limited-time Apex cosmetics, with Legendary skins for Ash, Mirage, Fuse, and more. All 24 items will be available in exchange for Apex Coins or Crafting Metals and in Sun Squad Collection Event Apex Packs for the entire duration of the event.
