Apex Legends’ Beast of Prey event will introduce a version of Gun Game
Apex Legends‘ upcoming, apparently Predator-inspired collection event, Beast of Prey, will bring a new mode to the game that’s a variation on the classic “Gun Game” from series like Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, and Battlefield.
Respawn calls this variation “Gun Run,” and it works a little differently than the traditional Gun Game. Four squads all face off against one another and try to be the first ones to get a kill with every weapon. However, instead of every teammate having to use every gun, once you get a kill with one gun, you will “leapfrog over teammates” to the “next highest weapon on the track.” The final weapon is a throwing knife that’s exclusive to the mode.
The event also offers 24 limited-time cosmetics to collect, including new Legendary skins for Horizon, Lifeline, Loba, Fuse, Pathfinder, Octane, and Rampart and Loba’s “Garra de Alanza” Heirloom.
You can check out the full patch notes for the update coming with the event, as well as a trailer showing Gun Run in action.
Apex Legends is available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
