Apex Legends Fight Night event brings boxing to Battle Royale on January 5

Finally, Apex Legends will allow you to resolve your grudges the old-fashioned way: punching. The Fight Night event, which starts in a few days, features a boxing ring, a new type of game, and a host of cosmetics, bug fixes, and meta changes.

First, that ring. Pathfinder’s takeover of the city brings what is basically a UFC cage made of force fields to Olympus. Located next to the Arcadia Supercarrier, weapons and items cannot be used in the square circle, nor can projectiles of any kind be launched. Anyone who enters is protected, unless you follow them for a close-range fight. Rare loot drops will spawn inside, just to spice things up.

In a slight change of pace for FPS gameplay, instead of making the Airdrop Escalation game type its own individual playlist, it temporarily takes over the standard gameplay. Essentially the same battle royale game you already know, but with more supply drops. The fee is the same as the Lifeline Care Pack, according to the EA blog, and these special drops will each include a fully equipped weapon. The regular drops continue to spread the soil as usual.

Gibraltar Heirloom is your prize for obtaining all 24 limited-time cosmetics, and developer Respawn has brought MRVN to Olympus to give you loot of varying rarity. You look for a purple or yellow face to get something valuable.

Rampart Amplified Cover and Nox Caustic Gas Trap cooldowns have been reduced, and Hemlock, Mastiff, and Prowler have been modified.

Here’s a preview:

The Fight Night Collection event begins on January 5. You can read more, including bug fixes and quality of life updates, in the full patch notes.
