APEX LEGENDS BLOOD PACT EVENT

Darkness has descended on Kings Canyon. The Arena now belongs to the forces of darkness, and every Legend is pledging their loyalty to the armies of Beasts or Demons. 

Pick your side and spill your enemies’ blood to earn infernal abilities or sick beastly powers for your squad, then run wild in a haunted Kings Canyon. 

The Blood Pact Event runs from October 13 to November 3.

GO FERAL OR INFERNAL

Pledge to the Beasts or the Demons in Wildcard, then earn your faction’s Wild Cards by completing challenges throughout the match. Every round throws down a fresh challenge: if you can deal enough damage or land enough knocks, the Wild Card is yours.

Run with the Beasts and complete challenges to become a fast-moving monster that can chase down enemy squads through the fog:

  • Evasive Maneuvers: When weapons are stowed, move faster and gain Double Jump
  • Fast Draw: Reload weapons and use shield cells faster
  • Critical Roll: Grants temporary critical hits on reload

Side with the Demons to become an infernal powerhouse, as you shrug off damage and become impossible to put down: 

  • Speedy Charge: Tactical and Ultimate charge faster
  • Shields Up: Epic Level shields
  • Super Cells: Cells regenerate all shield health

IT’S DARK OUT THERE

It all goes down on a spooky Kings Canyon. Fog can randomly descend upon the map, hiding squad movement and reducing sightlines, so the smart hunters use it to stalk their prey. Good thing we dusted off Rev Shell Grenades to seek out whoever’s lurking in the dark. Watch for haunted buildings, glowing Nessies, and frights we’ve stashed across the map: haunted Loot Bins, Pumpkin-skinned EVO orbs, and more.

FULL MOON FASHION

Awooooooo! Join the forces of darkness in the Blood Pact Store. Go full 80s werewolf with Sparrow’s new Legend Skin and Character Select Animation, or channel inner demons with Alter’s new Legend Skin and the new R-99 Weapon Skin.
