Warriors Collection Event content - Apex Legends Season 12

The Warriors Collection Event will be live in Apex Legends from 29th March to 12th April giving players ample opportunity to explore the new content. A new Event Tracker will allow players to keep up with their progress made and what is still required to unlock the exclusive rewards.

• Apex Legends next-gen graphics details and how to install
• Apex Legends: What are ordnance
• Apex Legends Mobile in-game support - How to find Player ID
• How to fix Apex Legends Mobile device not supported error

But the free and exclusive rewards are not the only fresh content players are buzzing about. The Warriors Collection Event also marks a major patch update bringing significant changes to the state of play.

Control is back in Apex Legends

the limited-time 9v9 mode Control is returning for two weeks with the Warriors Collection Event! This time around Caustic Treatment on Kings Canyon has been added into the mix. So, squad up, select your loadout, and fight for total control over Olympus, Storm Point, and Kings Canyon. Brought to you by Silva Pharmaceuticals.

The Caustic Treatment changes

To keep things fresh and exciting at the midpoint of Season 12, Caustic Treatment has been converted into a three-point battleground for control over Kings Canyon. Additional cover, ziplines, skydive launchers, and even a hover tank, have been added to the space.

Caustic’s Lab is a highly defensible fortress controlled by the right team and a combination of legends. However, with solid coordination, and a well-timed offensive push, defenders can easily be routed.

Lastly, in true Caustic fashion, players can now “expedite the inevitable” by using the terminal inside the lab. Interacting with the console will raise the toxin levels, resulting in a damaging trap for legends attempting to capture B.

New Arena Map: Drop Off

Sitting high above the skyline of Malta is the fully automated Hammond Manufacturing Tower that was constructed for a single purpose: the early production of critical systems for Olympus. Codenamed Drop-Off, the site is still in operation, but at night, Arenas fighters covertly commandeer the place for fierce matches under the smoggy skies. 

The POIs in Drop-Off can be primarily thought of as two governing locations: Interior and Exterior. The interior is split across two POIs: Observation Deck and Deployment Line, while the exterior offers the Loading Bay.

While the edges are protected via modest railing, falling to your death is still possible, and fights out here focus on mid-to long-range sightlines, while containers moving along the deployment line act as cover against the sparsely defensible low-ground. These low-ground sections are littered with Material Canisters for players to nab, making the risk-to-reward ratio that much more enticing. So make sure to check out Drop-off when you are playing during the Warriors Collection Event.

Next-Gen updates - Apex Legends Warriors Collection

This patch is also bringing some sweet updates for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S owners. On 29th March, the native next-gen versions of Apex Legends will be launched. Additionally, Resawn is planning support for more next-gen features in future updates.
