E3: Apex Legends Gets AnimeThemed Gaiden Event Featuring Bangalore Prestige Skin

Rumors of an anime-themed Apex Legends event have been swirling since datamined images of Octane dressed as One Piece's Luffy began circulating in the /r/ApexUncovered subreddit several weeks ago. Today, Respawn confirmed those rumors with the release of an official announcement detailing all the features that the Gaiden event will bring with it.

While Respawn has not categorized it as a Collection Event (one which rewards players with an Heirloom weapon if they collect all 24 premium cosmetics), it does include a Prestige skin for Bangalore. Additionally, after recently debuting in Apex Legends Mobile, the classic shotty-sniper LTM known as Armed and Dangerous will make its return to the console/PC version of Apex. Here's a closer look at all of the unique features coming to Apex Legends when the Gaiden event goes live.

Armed and Dangerous

Apex's first-ever LTM, Armed and Dangerous, will return to the game and remain playable for the entirety of the Gaiden event. This mode clears all weapons from the loot pool with the exception of the Charge Rifle, Kraber, Longbow, Sentinel, EVA-8, Peacekeeper, Mastiff, and Mozambique. Throwable ordnance will remain in the loot pool, but the Triple Take will not be available, as it was reclassified as a marksman weapon in 2021.
