Beast of Prey, Apex Legends’ latest collection event, went live on Tuesday with an update that brought a new limited-time mode, some minor meta changes, and plenty of new cosmetic items to the game–including Loba’s long-awaited heirloom weapon. . The event is significant enough that the game’s developers saw fit to schedule two Reddit AMAs to answer players’ questions about Apex’s upcoming changes.
The first AMA was primarily focused on the new Gun Run LTM and took place yesterday. Second AMA Will be concerned with legends, weapons and the overall meta of the game. It is destined to be Official Apex Legends subreddit Today at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET. With enough content to fill two Reddit AMAs, the Beast of Prey event has a lot to offer, so keep reading for a feature-by-feature breakdown of everything this jam-packed event has in store.
shoot the gun
Arguably the most exciting new feature to arrive with the Beast of Prey update, Gun Run is a new limited-time mode that offers an Outland-style take on the standard gun game formula. Four squads of four players must fight their way to victory by working their way through a 25-weapon arsenal one kill at a time. Any squad that gets 25 kills is replaced with a firearm knife that gives all members of that squad the ability to single-handedly win the match. The first team to throw the knife wins.
Throwing knives can be practiced inside the firing range, so be sure to check it out if you’re struggling to hit your targets.
