Here are the changes that have been made in the 2.33 Apex Legends update today, which includes details on the upcoming Harbingers Collection Event and Fuse’s Heirloom.
A new update 2.33 is now available for download for Apex Legends. You can read the full patch notes at the end of the article, but here are the main changes coming to the game.
This update comes in preparation for the Harbingers Collection event, which introduces Fuse’s heirloom, the Razor’s Edge! The Harbingers Collection Event will launch on September 19th 2023 and will last until October 3rd, 2023.
As with all collection events, there are 24 exclusive limited time cosmetics and once you purchase them all, you will be granted Fuse’s heirloom for free.
In the collection event, there are Legendary Skins available for Fuse and Bloodhound. There will also a reward tracker in which players can earn 1,400 points a day.
The description for the reward tracker reads:
“Deadly competition isn’t for the faint of heart, beautiful. But night has fallen in the ring making it the perfect time to steal some wins. If you play matches and earn points, you’ll unlock some terrifyingly epic souvenirs. Just make sure you don’t lose your head…”
Living Shell Trios New Apex Legends LTM
There is a brand new LTM that will be available to play with the launch of this event called Living Shell Trios.
The description for this mode reads:
“A new ordnance is upon us—the Rev Shell. For a limited-time, take out your enemies with a target-seeking grenade that looks almost as scary as the damage it does. Grab a shell, toss it in the air, and it will take care of the rest—looking for valid targets before dealing significant damage. But beware, your opponents can take aim and shoot it down to cause an early detonation. “
The Living Shell Trios mode will be available for the entire event! It will take place on the World’s Edge After Dark map.
