Bonus Scoring Weekend

From 6PM, UK on Friday,  January 17 to 6PM UK on Monday, January 20, you’ll be able to grab an additional set of event-specific challenges worth a total of 500 points.

Direct Purchase Event Shop

The Event Shop will be selling a mix of legendary skins as well as Art Deco inspired cosmetics. These come with a price tag of $5. Six new legendary skins will be added to the loot pool which can be earned in Apex Packs. Or you can just buy them if you fancy doing it that way instead.
