Thrillseekers Event New Arenas Map: Overflow
Get ready for some lava! Respawn explained their thinking on the new map design, "Overflow differs from other Arena maps by being lane focused; where each location is separated by tall, lava-filled structures. With this separation, players cannot easily spot early decisions made by the other team and will need to stay vigilant before committing to a side or risk being flanked. While there are opportunities for long-range engagements, combat tends to favor short-to-medium ranges along either POI: Overlook or Slope."
As with every event, Respawn is running weekly rewards.
- Week 1 gives you a chance to unlock the Rampart Wastelander Set, which includes a matching gun charm, weapon skin, and a Legendary Rampart skin.
- Week 2 grants Battle Pass boosters, crafting metals, and Apex packs.
- Week 3 includes the Lethal Enforcer Bangalore Skin, along with other goodies!
You'll have a chance to earn all these rewards for the two weeks the event is live.
