Apex Legends Old Ways event update: patch notes, duos, more Respawn EntertainmentThe highly anticipated Old Ways Lore event is finally upon us in Apex Legends, bringing permanent duos, Kings Canyon, lots of new cosmetics, and even new creatures to World\u2019s Edge. The event begins on April 7 and runs until April 21, but permanent duos and a permanent map rotation of both Kings Canyon and World\u2019s Edge will continue even once the event is over. Bloodhound is the main focus of this limited-time event, with their own Town Takeover, and some incredible new skins. There\u2019s new skins for other legends too of course, both in an exclusive event prize track, and through direct purchases in the store. When is the Apex Legends update? The update for the Old Ways Lore event will be available at 10 AM PDT \/ 1 PM EDT \/ 6 PM BST on Tuesday, April 7. New Town Takeover: Bloodhound\u2019s Trials Like Mirage and Wraith before, Bloodhound is getting their very own Town Takeover, and for the first time, we will see Prowlers enter the map. These creatures were leaked previously, and it looks like this is what Respawn had planned all along. By diving into the Bloodhound Trials, at the northwest portion of the map, you and your squad will take on these beasts, and be rewarded with some high-level loot if you make it out alive. The Old Ways Exclusive Event Prize Track For the duration of the event, there will be daily challenges to complete, which will progress you further along the prize track, which will reward you with event-exclusive cosmetics. You can earn up to 1000 points per challenge set, which will reset each day. This won\u2019t impact your battle pass challenges, which you can still complete at the same time. The rewards in the Old Ways event prize track can be seen here: In addition to the cosmetics in the prize track, more skins will also be added to the shop for direct purchase. You can see all the direct purchase skins for legends and weapons here.

These rare bins will have a secondary compartment that only Lifeline can open. – The secondary compartment will always contain some mixture of health items, weapon attachments and knockdown shields. – Wraith \u25cf Portals will now disappear after four seconds if both ends are outside the Circle.
