Excitingly New Apex Legends Event Is Live Now

Last week, Respawn Entertainment announced that Apex Legends season five will kick off on May 12. Meanwhile, before the conclusion of the fourth season, Respawn’s battle royale also received one last limited-time event. The new event was launched on April 28 and includes the limited-time mode (LTM) called Battle Armor Event. The Battle Armor LTM will continue till 12 May, the week when Apex Legends Season 5 goes live.

The Battle Armor event takes place on World’s Edge and provides a unique twist to the present gameplay. Although there will be progressively different Armor phases throughout the event, there are certain limitations to the loot available.

Apex Legends Battle Armor LTM Event Is Live Now!

The LTM Battle Armor event consists of four phases. Taking place on World’s Edge, players will be spawning in with loot (armor & pistol) even before they hit the ground during this event. Currently, phase one of the LTM is already live and players drop in-game with a specific type of body armor (common white armor) and a P2020 pistol equipped.

Jason McCord has a pro-tip to offer: “Get in fights early, or you’ll be left limping into the final circle with Level 1 armor.”

Though all weapons and consumables like shield cells and batteries loot remain available, all body armors have been removed from the loot pool. All players start with the same loot. The concept behind the event is that players spawn with progressively stabler armor as the event progresses into its later stages.

Jason McCord, Design Director for Apex Legends, mentioned the Battle Armor LTM is the beginning of Respawn’s experiments with the core gameplay as they look forward to introducing more twists in Season 5 and beyond. Given below is the schedule for the battle armor event.
