If you are a fan of Apex Legends, you are sure to want to log in and play during the month of October. This is because Respawn, developer of Apex Legends, has announced dates for this year’s Halloween. The Fight or Fright Halloween event launches on October 4th at 6pm UK time. The event runs for four weeks throughout October, ending on November 1.
As part of the Fight or Fright event, Respawn will offer a selection of limited-time game modes for fans to sink their teeth into.
Starts with Shadow Royale on the Olympus After Dark map from October 4 through October 11. This will be followed by Gun Run at Estates After Dark, Skulltown and Fragment East through October 18.
The event with Control on Lava Siphon, Barometer, and Labs After Dark runs until October 25, while Shadow Royale at Olympus After Dark finishes off Fight or Fright.
Shadow Royale is a seasonal triple mode with a supernatural twist. If you are killed in Shadow Royale, you will be reborn in Shadow form.
Respawn further explains: “Shadows can work on walls, double jump, revive allies, and do additional combat damage. Other shadows fall in one hit, and their living teammates aren’t far behind.
Shadows, friends and foes, spawn endlessly until their entire team is wiped out.
As an added bonus, players can choose a selection of spooky Halloween skins and items, which are deducted for the duration of the event.
Needless to say, the Fight or Fright event is also launching along with a big new update, which makes a variety of tweaks to the gameplay. You can see the patch notes below.
Control Mode Updates
• New Timed Event: MRB Timed Event (obtain and deploy an MRB to create a temporary spawn point for your team).
• The timed event order has been updated so that the Bonus Capture event is the third event to be triggered, it now equals twice the score it did before (old: 100 score, new: 200 score).
• Can now ping regions of the birth screen.
• For control triggers. Automatically place the cursor on the best spawn point when it is placed in the spawn screen.
• Players pick up munitions automatically if they walk near them.
• Players can now express emotions on the screen of the foreground platform.
• The Hammond Labs map is now running at Olympus After Dark.
• Updates on weapon equipment (gear combinations).
• Upgrades to Weapons in Weapon Gear to get the same attachments available to them at the same levels as BR (excluding scopes).
• In the spirit of Olympus after dark. Weapons that support threat ranges/sights are available as an option in the visual selection menu in the gear selection menu.
• Disabled sounds for healing items.
• Updates to the deployment logic that should fix some rare spawn issues (eg going to the spawn screen without selecting any points).
• Deploy system tuning to try to prevent problems where players appear in sight of enemies or too close to enemies.
