Apex Legends is jacking into its Cyberpunk Event, chroming up the Legends and dropping players into a neon-drenched Night City E-District. The Outlands have been hacked, and we are all in for a very different kind of drop.
What is the Night City E-District?
The event reimagines a slice of the Outlands as Night City E-District, complete with towering neon skyboxes, holographic koi drifting through the sky, and glitched-out signage. In other words: pop a fresh mag into Skippy, and try not to flatline.
What are the new Cyberware mods?
Two new Cyberware mods are flooding the streets in Wildcard, and each one plays completely differently:
Sandevistan - Wired for speed, granting quick dashes in any direction. Chain two dashes before touching the ground to close gaps or ghost out of danger.
Blackwall Breach - Phases you into the Net to reposition, then unleashes a disruptive EMP as you return.
New Cyberpunk Collection Skins
Six champions have received new skins: Sparrow, Axle, Rampart, Gibraltar, Ash, and Loba. Each skin costs 2150 coins.
Rewards Shop
Earn Eddies throughout the event to spend in the Reward Shop, which includes an Arasaka Flight Protocol Epic Valkyrie Skin, a Kang-Tao Specter Epic Mirage Skin, and more.
What is Cyberpsychosis?
Reports of Cyberpsychosis are on the rise, and this is where things get spicy. Your Cyberware Capacity fills as you use Cyberware, and if you redline it, you go full Cyberpsycho.
That transformation is a trade-off:
High movement speed
Devastating melee damage
No weapons
No abilities
No shields
No ordnance
So you become a fast-moving melee monster, but you are stripped of everything else in your kit. Managing that meter is going to be the whole game within the game.
Bonus: Twitch Drops
There are two rewards up for grabs for the entire event:
SAMURAI Weapon Charm: Watch 30 minutes to claim it.
Data Diver Tracker Set: Watching for 60 minutes to unlock it.
To get your Drops, link your EA account to your Twitch account, then sign in and start watching. A few things to know:
You'll need an EA account linked to Twitch to be eligible.
Rewards are based on how much you watch.
You'll see your rewards in-game within 24 hours, the next time you log on.
If you haven’t linked your EA account to your Twitch account, here’s how to do it.
