RULE THE UNDERGROUND IN THE SHADOW SOCIETY EVENT

Play For Free

The underground pauses for no one, Legends. Become cutthroat and rule the Shadow Society Event running March 26 to April 16, 2024. Protect your turf in the all new Lockdown LTM, the first 4-squad free-for-all battle for dominance, where you’ll capture and hold objectives. Complete daily event challenges to earn Reputation for items in the Reward Shop. Rack up 36 limited-time cosmetics with each unlock pushing you closer to killer Milestone Rewards—including the Final Milestone reward, the Cobalt Death Box! Plus, wield the all-new “Cobalt Katar” Apex Artifact, a universal Mythic Melee cosmetic for any Legend.

NEW LIMITED-TIME MODE: LOCKDOWN
Hold fast with your squad and defend your domain in Lockdown, the first 4-squad free-for-all battle for dominance. Squads will spawn in with standard TDM loadouts and seek out Capture Zones, which will periodically spawn throughout the small, mayhem-filled maps: Thunderdome, Skulltown, Zeus Station, and Monument. Earn points by capturing zones, holding them uncontested, and eliminating other players. The first squad to 500 points wins.

APEX ARTIFACT: COBALT KATAR
Apex Artifacts are an all-new universal Mythic Melee cosmetic that can be wielded by any Legend—starting with the “Cobalt Katar”. Equip your Apex Artifact via the new Melee tab, available after selecting a Legend. The “Cobalt Katar” can be acquired through Shadow Society Event Packs† as a part of the limited-time event.

SHADOW SOCIETY EVENT ITEMS
Uncover 36 cutthroat themed limited-time cosmetics, with Legendary skins for Mad Maggie, Horizon, and more! Each Shadow Society item received during the event will also count towards Milestone Rewards—bonus rewards you’ll collect as you progress through your collection. You’ll automatically earn Milestone Rewards after unlocking 5, 10, 20, and all 36 items.


All 36 items (including the “Cobalt Katar” Apex Artifact) can be acquired via Shadow Society Event Packs† with no duplicates of event items.

Complete your collection before the event ends and you’ll automatically receive the “Cobalt Katar’s” matching Death Box cosmetic.

REWARD SHOP
Earn Reputation by completing daily event challenges, then head to the Shadow Society Reward Shop to choose your own rewards and see your progress with event badges. Apex Packs† will also be available in the Reward Shop and offerings rotate weekly.

A limited amount of Reputation can be earned per day by completing challenges and they refresh daily.

Don't worry, Apex Legends players, Respawn's putting out some updates to keep you safe after the ALGS hacks

If you’ve been worried that you might be at risk of being hacked during your regular Apex Legends matches after some pro players suddenly found themselves cheating during a recent ALGS event, there’s now some good news. Respawn says it’s putting out a series of updates to the game designed to help keep people safe.

Yup, following the postponement of the North American finals of the Apex Legends Global Series due to some participants being given aimbots and the ability to see through walls, we’ve all been waiting for the game’s developers to address what that might mean for the rest of us. After both Epic Games and the company behind the game’s anti-cheat software shot down one theory as to the cause of the hacks following their own investigations, that answer’s now arrived from Respawn.

In a statement posted to Twitter, Respawn has provided an update from the Apex team. “On Sunday, a few professional Apex Legends player accounts were hacked during an ALGS event,” it confirms, continuing: “Game and player security are our highest priorities, which is why we paused the competition to address the issue immediately.”
