Apex Legends is getting a load of new content with its Unshackled event. But when exactly does it kick off and what should fans expect from it?<\/p>\n

Per the game\u2019s official website<\/a>, fans can expect to \u201cbreak free from the ties that bind with the return of Flashpoint, new cosmetics, and more in the Unshackled Event\u201d.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, folks. One of the key features of Unshackled is the return of the Flashpoint limited-time mode (LTM), which will apparently allow players to \u201cexperience Olympus like never before\u201d. That should certainly tide us over nicely while we wait for Apex Legends Mobile<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keep on reading and we\u2019ll tell you everything else you need to know about the Apex Legends event that\u2019s starting very soon!<\/p>\n

When is the Apex Legends Unshackled event?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Apex Legends Unshackled event will start on\u00a0Tuesday 19th April 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although the developers from Respawn do not seem to have formally announced a start time for Unshackled, various fan websites are predicting that this Apex Legends event will kick off at around 6pm BST<\/strong> this evening.<\/p>\n

Respawn has stated that the Unshackled event will end on 3rd May, so you won\u2019t want to wait too long before you jump in and try out the new content.<\/p>

What\u2019s in the Apex Legends Unshackled event?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are a number of key features for fans to look out for in the Apex Legends event, Unshackled, and they are:<\/p>\n

  • Flashpoint\u00a0LTM\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 the popular mode returns, with healing items removed and \u2018flashpoint\u2019 healing areas added to the Olympus map instead<\/li>\n
  • Unshackled cosmetics\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 40 cosmetic items are added to the game. They can be bought through packs or unlocked in the game.<\/li>\n
  • Flash Events\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 two weekly challenge tracks will be available, with each of them offering ways to unlock Unshackled cosmetics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>

    The first Flash Event will run from 19th April to 26th April, allowing players to unlock rewards including a Unique Badge, an Epic Charm, an Epic Re-45 skin and an Epic Seer Skin.<\/p>\n

    The second Flash Event will run from 26th April to 3rd May, and its rewards will include a Unique Badge, a Rare Apex Pack, an Epic Boxing Nessie Holospray and an Unshackled Pack.<\/p>\n

    To help you find all of this new content, Respawn will be updating the Thematic Tab on the game\u2019s main menu to highlight the Unshackled event. So, from the evening of 19th April onwards, that\u2019s where you\u2019ll want to head for all the new stuff. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
