Apex Legends Beast of Prey collection event start time and details

Respawn Entertainment's Apex Legends is easily one of the best battle royale games out there right now and this upcoming event is further proof of that. With a new LTM to get stuck into and a new set of cosmetics to earn, there's a lot to look forward to when the next set of Apex Legends patch notes drops. If you're looking forward to the next event, you're going to want to know when the Apex Legends Beast of Prey collection event start time is set for, right? Well, if you do want to know, we have the answer for you right here.

Apex Legends veterans might already know this, but Respawn Entertainment likes to keep to quite a regimented update schedule when it comes to this free shooting game; every single Apex Legends update is released at the same time of the day, bar any updates and events that suffer from complications at launch.

So, with that in mind, we know exactly when Apex Legends' upcoming Beast of Prey collection event is due to start. Although, it's worth noting that you should take the following information with a pinch of salt - things can always change, even if we're fairly certain they won't.

Respawn is changing those supposed pay-to-win Apex Legends skins

A recent batch of Apex Legends weapon skins have been causing some controversy as a number of players believe that the aim down sights (ADS) are better than on other skins.

As reported by PCGamesN, some pay-to-win accusations have been thrown at developer Respawn due to the introduction of weapon skins like the Heat Sink skin. According to some players, the Heat Sink skin has a vastly superior ADS compared to other guns' skins. However, Respawn has since addressed the criticism, providing an update on said skin and more.

"Competitive integrity is and will always be a core pillar for Apex Legends," wrote Respawn in a blog post. "As part of that, our default iron sights are designed to push players to loot for better optics. We also believe that skins shouldn't be a factor in the sights functionality as well. During Season 4, we released the Heat Sink reactive skin for the VK-47 Flatline rifle and we heard feedback from some players that the Aim Down Sights (ADS) felt superior to any other skin available.

We know there's a lot of chatter around this fan-made Apex Legends Crypto rework, but a new Collection Event is about to start in Respawn Entertainment's battle royale - and there's quite a lot to look forward to beyond flashy skins and a new heirloom item. Apex Legends' new Beast of Prey Collection Event is switching up crafter weapons, adding a limited-time event reward tracker, and introducing a new LTM to the game. While the mode itself does sound quite exciting, the real interesting thing about Apex Legends' Gun Run LTM is that it's going to be a testing ground for a brand new weapon: throwing knives.

That's right, Apex Legends could very well be getting a new throwable in the future - and it's something Call of Duty fans will know very well, as it's commonplace in all the best Warzone loadouts.

Apex Legends' Gun Run LTM is actually a lot like Call of Duty's Gun Game, a free-for-all party mode where players need to kill one another to progress through a gauntlet of random weapons before using a throwing knife - or a tomahawk - to get one final kill and win the game.

Fan-made Apex Legends Crypto rework could solve his dismal pick rate

We know Respawn Entertainment's Apex Legends is one of the best battle royale games out there right now, but there's always room for improvement - and Crypto is one place where that improvement is needed. Despite being a legend that offers players quite a lot of utility, he just doesn't quite sit right with players - and that's why he's always on the tail end of our Apex Legends tier list. Thankfully, a handful of Apex Legends fans have detailed the Crypto rework this free-to-play battle royale needs and we're inclined to agree with the decisions they have made.

The top-line talking point when it comes to this Crypto rework posted on Reddit by 'AstronomerSenior4236' is the fact that Apex Legends' fans think that he should be able to use his tactical ability and passive ability independent of his drone - which still features heavily - and makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

Discussing Crypto's passive ability first, it looks like Apex Legends fans want to see something somewhat similar to Vantage's Spotter's Lens passive. Proximity Firewall, which is what the fans have named this ability, would allow Crypto to detect the number of squads in a certain radius when aiming down sights while unarmed.
