Apex Legends developer Respawn is about to launch a brand new event in time for Halloween.
Coming to PlayStation, Xbox and PC, the Techno Terror Collection event has an October 15 release date and a 5pm BST UK launch time.
The event re-introduces the Trick N’ Treat Trios game mode, only this time with a slight twist.
As part of the Techno Terror event, Trick N’ Treat Trios features a new revival mechanic, while consuming sweets nets players EVO points, Ultimate charge, and 25 points of shield healing over time.
Likewise, players will be able to activate a Copycat Kit to gain access to an extra ability from a different Legend for the rest of the game.
As part of the event, Respawn is also temporarily transforming E-District into a “a corrupted, electrified labyrinth of horror, brought back to life by an ominous power”.
Respawn explains more: “Battle your way through the decaying heart of the Energy Bank, where towering high-rise is now overrun by cybernetic abominations.
“Engage in brutal combat within the Stadium, a once-vibrant arena now transformed into an infected city of conflict, its streets and alleys infested with digital horrors.
“New dangers hide around every corner and every encounter will test your resolve. Explore, survive, and uncover the secrets of this corrupted city, where the line between legend and reality has been obliterated.”
Needless to say, the Techo Terror Collection event will also feature a selection of new rewards.
Fans will be able to unlock 24 limited-time cosmetics as part of the event, including Legendary skins for Alter and Wattson.
According to Respawn, all 24 items can be unlocked with Apex Coins or Crafting Metals. Fans can also purchase Techno Terror Event Apex Packs for the duration of the event.
If you successfully manage to unlock all 24 items, you’ll receive Pathfinder’s Apex Mecha Prestige Skin, as well as the “A Blast from the Path” Finisher, and the “Block Party” Skydive Trail.
