Apex Legends has announced the launch of its new Thrillseekers event. It will bring in a slew of attractions, including a new Arenas map, weekly rewards tracks and splashy new looks

The Thrillseekers event begins on July 13, 2021 and runs until August 3, 2021.

New Arenas Map: Overflow in Apex Legends

Overflow differs from other Arena maps by being lane focused, where each location is separated by tall, lava-filled structures. With this separation, players cannot easily spot early decisions made by the other team.

They will need to stay vigilant before committing to a side or risk being flanked. While there are opportunities for long-range engagements, combat tends to favour short-to-medium ranges along either POI: Overlook or Slope.

Overlook in ThrillSeekers event

Overlook is a long, open area with a central interior that gives a height advantage over this POI. This area is perfect for snipers or DMRs. Players may want to hold the interior to control not only this area but their flank as well.

Slope in Arenas Map

Slope offers both a high ground and a unique area where players can slide down to a remote part of the map. This area can be used for sneaky flanks or defensive setups where players may not expect it.

Unlockable rewards in ThrillSeekers

For the three weeks of the event, Apex Legends will be running back-to-back rewards tracks:

• The first week one gives players a chance to unlock the Rampart Wastelander Set. This includes a matching gun charm, weapon skin, and a Legendary Rampart skin.
• Week two grants Battle Pass boosters, crafting metals, and Apex packs.
• The third week three includes the Lethal Enforcer Bangalore Skin, along with other goodies.

Gamers can earn over 1,000 points per day and challenges refresh daily. There are also stretch challenges that reward four unique badges if they complete them during the event. All of these challenges also stack with their Battle Pass, so they can complete multiple at once.

Badges to unlock

There will be three specific badges to unlock for reaching certain milestones in Arenas. One each week:

• Week 1 Badge: Play 20 Arena Games Total
• Week 2 Badge: Get 100 Knockdowns Total in Arenas
• Final Week Badge: Deal 12,000 Damage Total in Arenas
