Each season players get to experience quite a few events in Apex Legends. Seasonal events have become a salient feature of Respawn’s battle royale, keeping fans longing for more. The sixth season is in full swing, currently with September Soiree marking the first mid-season event.
However, anticipation is surging in the Apex community for the next big event, and so far, there are lots of speculations. Reliable data miners have dug deep in the game files and have found clues for an upcoming collection event in October.
Respawn has a lot of features lined up for Apex Legends this fall. But apart from rumors and speculation, nothing is set in stone yet.

Potential Season 6 collection event skins in Apex Legends
Some keen-eyed players had noticed many weapon skins in the Stories from the Outlands cinematic for Rampart. The cinematic trailer provided a sneak peek at a couple of weapon skins from the Season 6 Battle Pass. There were several other weapon visuals featured in the cinematic, which can appear in the upcoming collection event.
The Gaming Merchant shared an image featuring weapons such as Alternator, Hemlok, R-301, Wingman, and EVA-8. All the guns are decked out with unique skins. Although the image becomes blurry under magnification, it paints a picture of how the weapon finishes could look like in-game. There is no surety if all or some of these skins will feature in the event but based on recent history, it seems likely.
Besides that, the YouTuber came across a couple of quips for Octane and Bangalore, which could become a basis for upcoming skins for both legends. Currently, the theme for the legend skins for the forthcoming collection event is unknown. Usually, most of the cosmetic items in such events are legend skins. However, at this point, there is little information available.
Maybe these two legend skins won’t feature in the upcoming event; perhaps it will arrive further down the line at a more suitable time, according to The Gaming Merchant. We have to wait and watch.

Potential theory for a new weapon
The Apex Legends YouTuber shared another image of concept art from Season 3. In the concept art, Mirage is seen with a rather mysterious weapon in his hands. He pointed out its resemblance to the Cold War from Titanfall 2. The Cold War functions as an AOE grenade launcher; it is an energy weapon like the Charge Rifle and fires in a burst.
The Gaming Merchant then established a theory that could potentially bring the weapon from Titanfall to Apex. In the Season 6 quest’s narrative, Mirage and Rampart have made a bet. Due to their pact, Rampart has to craft a weapon for Mirage if she loses the bet. This is where the Season 3 concept art became relevant.

Maybe after Mirage wins the bets, Rampart has to craft a modified version of the Cold War for him. It could also be an entirely new weapon. It will be interesting to see a new weapon inspired by Apex’ lore being added to the game. Meanwhile, The Gaming Merchant has showcased some gameplay with the Cold War in Titalfall 2. Those interested can check out his video below.
