[GameSpot] - Apex Legends Third Anniversary Collection Event: Everything You Need To Know

[343iBot]

Apex Legends Season 12 just got underway, bringing with it a new legend, changes to Olympus, and a fresh limited-time mode. But that's not all there is to be excited about this month, as Respawn is also celebrating year three of the game with a Third Anniversary Collection Event from February 15 to March 1. We're going to take a look at all of the items in the event and how to obtain them.

Reward tracker

Respawn is going big this year with a packed reward tracker featuring 12 community-created cosmetics, which include new skins for Wraith and Octane alongside a variety of charms, holosprays, gun skins, and more. Of course, it also comes packing additional anniversary-themed Apex Packs to unlock and four total badges to earn.

Third Anniversary Reward Tracker

The main event

The Third Anniversary Collection Event's main attraction is a selection of 24 unique cosmetics, many of which are based on fan-favorite skins from other characters--dubbed by Respawn as "Squad Skins." For instance, Crypto's popular "Hypebeast" aesthetic has now been granted to Wattson and Mirage, while Fuse's "Dread Captain" undead pirate vibe has infected Bloodhound and newcomer Mad Maggie.

Once you've obtained all of the new cosmetics, you'll be rewarded with the Bloodhound Prestige Skin, the first of a brand new type of skin in Apex Legends. The Prestige Skin begins at Tier 1 and is then upgraded to Tiers 2 and 3 by completing challenges, with each tier providing a new visual update. The final tier also comes with an execution called "Piercing Plasma."

Event Store sales

You can make the most of the Third Anniversary Collection Event by investing in some of the sales Respawn is offering in the Event Store, which changes every four days from the start of the event until it ends on March 1.

Included in the deals are bundles that feature some of the aforementioned Squad Skins with Apex Packs or gun skins. Well-received cosmetics like Valkyrie's "Omatsuri Fury" skin and Revenant's "Synthetic Shinobi" skin show up along the way, too.
