Respawn Entertainment will bring the Fight Night Collection Event to Apex Legends on Tuesday, kicking off the first collection event of Apex Legends Season 7.

Airdrop Escalation Takeover LTM Ups Supply Drops

The Airdrop Escalation Takeover limited-time mode will be the first LTM that takes over the standard Apex Legends playlist rather than is relegated to its own playlist. Supply drops are at the center of the game mode. Four supply drops will arrive right at the start of the map, and each round will bring in more drops.

Each drop contains a fully-kitted weapon of a tier relative to the round of the game. A round four drop might contain red armor and crate weapons, for example.

Pathfinder Town Takeover Brings Boxing Style to Apex

The event will bring a Pathfinder Town Takeover to Olympus. In Pathfinder's boxing ring, players won't be able to use their weapons or abilities — players can only fight using melee attacks. No outside projectiles, grenades or abilities can penetrate the ring's force field, forcing onlookers to join the fisticuffs or sit out the fight.

Loot balls in the ring will contain rare loot.

Gibraltar Heirloom Headlines New Cosmetics

Fight Night will bring 24 new cosmetics, including skins for various Legends and an Heirloom for Gibraltar. Collecting all 24 event items will unlock the Heirloom.

The Heirloom itself is a smoldering Patu, or battle club. It is engraved with the phrase "BULA DRN." Bula is a shortened version of the Fijian phrase "ni sa bula vinaka," which means "wishing you happiness and good health." Gibraltar's ex, Nik, had the club made for Gibraltar when they were together, and the "DRN" may be an abbreviation for "Dear, Nik." Nik calls the small green gem hanging from the handle as "Little Mouse," in an Apex Legends comic, further underlining the weapon's sentimental value.

MRVNs Return with Loot

Mobile Robotic Versatile Entities, also known as MRVNs, will appear around the map again during the event. Players can interact with them for free loot with its strength determined by the face on the MRVN. The happier the MRVN, the more powerful the weapon.

Players can also shoot MRVNs to collect their arms. Bringing those arms to other MRVNs with missing arms will earn a reward.

Apex Legends Patch Notes for Fight Night Collection Event

The Fight Night event brings plenty of balance changes. See them all below.

Legends

Rampart: Amped Cover — Decreased cooldown from 30 seconds to 20 seconds

Caustic: Nox Gas Trap — Decreased cooldown from 25 seconds to 20 seconds

Weapons

Hemlok

  • Decreased damage from 22 to 20.

Mastiff

  • Spread out 3rd/4th pellets to decrease max range of 4 pellet hits (was +/- 7.5 degrees, now +/- 10)

Prowler

  • Reserve bullets increased from 175 to 210

Quality of Life

  • Ultimate Accelerants can now be used without opening your inventory. If your ultimate is not currently available, just press the button (or buttons, on a controller) to activate it, and you’ll pull out any stored Accelerant in your inventory and use it automatically.
  • When in a lobby, if a party member leaves your lobby for any reason, all party members will be marked as “not ready.” This should stop accidental launches into a match when your buddy dipped out for a second.
  • The fabled “Mark All As Seen” button has been added. Click this to remove the pesky (I mean helpful) red dots.
  • Pinging the nearest respawn beacon (from spectate) will now always ping the nearest beacon unless you don't have enough time to use it before the ring closes over it, instead of defaulting to the nearest beacon in the next safe ring.
  • We now show you how many treasure packs are needed to acquire the next comic page. This should just make it easier to people who are chasing the new bit of lore to know how far away they are.
  • Caustic should now smash the door with his Heirloom hammer instead of his leg, if available.
    We added a small bit of information to the Find Friends box to describe a situation where your friend might not be findable because of their EA account settings.
