Respawn Entertainment greeted the Apex Legends player base with Holo-Day Bash‘s festivities last week. It is the first event since the launch of Apex’s Season 7 and will mark the end of an eventful year in the battle royale game.
While limited-time cosmetics and rewards are available during a full month of sale, Holo-Day Bash’s main attraction is the return of the fan-favorite Winter Express LTM. In this round-based game mode, three squads battle each other to control a train traversing around World’s Edge.

The re-introduction of Winter Express allowed players to revisit some iconic World’s Edge locations since the gameplay occurs on a previous version of the map. However, after the limited-time mode went live, players encountered various bugs that marred the gameplay experience.
