Guide to the Apex Legends Beast Of Prey Event

The next Collection Event for Apex Legends, Beast of Prey, went live on Tuesday with an update that introduced a new limited-time mode, minor meta changes, and a plethora of new cosmetic items, including Loba's long-awaited Heirloom weapon. Apex's impending updates are sufficiently substantial for the game's developers to schedule two Reddit AMAs to answer players' questions.

Yesterday was the first AMA, which mostly centred on the new Gun Run LTM. The second AMA will focus on legends, weaponry, and the overall meta of the game. It is slated for today at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET on the official Apex Legends subreddit. The Beast of Prey event has enough information to cover two Reddit AMAs, so continue reading for a feature-by-feature breakdown of everything this packed event has to offer.

Gun Run

Gun Run is a new limited-time mode that offers an Outlands-inspired spin on the normal Gun Game gameplay. It is arguably the most exciting new addition to appear with the Beast of Prey update. Four squads of four players must work through a 25-weapon arsenal one kill at a time to achieve victory. When a team reaches 25 kills, their firearms are swapped with throwing knives, granting each member the chance to win the fight on their own. The winning squad is the first to execute a knife kill.

Don't forget to visit the firing range if you're having trouble hitting your targets while practising with throwing knives.
