Halloween is on the way, and Respawn is hosting its own celebration for the spookiest season of the year in Apex Legends. The Fight or Fright event runs from October 4th to November 1st and features limited-time modes and seasonal skins.
The event kicks off with Shadow Royale, a trio queue mode in which eliminated characters respawn as swift shadows that can double jump, revive their allies, and deal bonus melee damage. It’s a messy twist on the usual formula, and this year it’s taking place on the Olympus After Dark map.
On October 11th, Gun Run mode returns to Olympus After Dark, Fragment East from World’s Edge, and Skull Town from King’s Canyon. Gun Run is a four-team match where players must kill with their current gun in order to upgrade to higher levels and more efficient gear. Add in infinite ammo, health, and automatic respawns, and it’s a fast-paced test of your mastery of the game’s weapons.
Gun Run will be replaced on October 18th by the limited-time Control mode, where teams compete over who can maintain control of key buildings across the Olympus After Dark, World’s Edge, and Storm Point maps.
The event concludes on November 1st with a final week of Shadow Royale. During the course of Fight or Fright, players can unlock Halloween skins in the Shop tab, including a Bladed Wanderer skin for Seer or an Inner Demon skin for Ash.
