Apex Legends Gaiden Event: Anime-Themed Gaiden Skins And Cosmetics


The Apex Legends Gaiden Event boasts the largest offering of event-themed cosmetics ever seen in Apex. In total, there are 40 Gaiden Event cosmetics for players to get their hands on.

The Apex Legends Gaiden Event Skins and cosmetics follow an anime theme. The Skins depict some of Apex's favourite characters donning outfits reminiscent of the clothing worn by iconic anime legends like Naruto Uzumaki and Monkey D. Luffy.

Among the dozens of Gaiden cosmetics, you'll find Legendary Skins for Revenant, Mirage, Octane and Wattson, with complementary skins for the Flatline, Wingman, EVA-8 and Charge Rifle.

The Apex Legends Gaiden Event Skins and cosmetics are available through Gaiden Event Packs and the Special Offers Store tab. Gaiden Event items can also be crafted with crafting metals. When the Gaiden Event concludes, the event-themed cosmetics will become available in the standard Apex Pack pool of items.

The beloved Armed and Dangerous limited-time mode (LTM) is back with the Apex Legends Gaiden Event. In Armed and Dangerous, shotguns and snipers rule supreme. You won't find any high-tier Body Shields in Armed and Dangerous, and loot density overall is reduced.

Armed and Dangerous makes its brief return from July 19 to August 2. To keep things fresh, World’s Edge, Olympus, and Storm Point are all featured in the Armed and Dangerous map rotation.

There you have it — the Apex Legends Gaiden Event detailed. Summon your inner hero in the Apex Legends Gaiden Event beginning July 19, 2022.
