It’s Getting Hot In Here

Heatwave is the same as any regular apex duo or trios game, the only difference is gamers have to beat the heat. During the match, there are heat waves that periodically happen. When caught in the players will take damage from the sun. To negate it hide either indoors or under objects. There are also care packages that carry sunglasses to help beat off the heat and here is where to buy cycling sunglasses.

Here Comes The Sun

The newest collection event begins on March 28 and will be live until April 11. During this event, gamers can earn 24 limited-time summer-themed cosmetics. If all 24 cosmetics are earned then players can earn Ash’s “Strongest Link” Heirloom.
