Rewards

Apex Legends leaker Shrugtal has given us a look at what we can expect from the next event.

They rarely leak anything that doesn't turn out to be true, so it is very likely this is accurate information.

Below, we'll list some of the highlights from the War Games Reward Tracker above:

• Never Surrender Weapon Charm
• Thermite Grenade Weapon Charm
• Cytokinetic Epic Rampart Skin

• Incan Prophecy Epic 30-30 Repeater Skin

New Skins

Shrugtal has speculated as to which new skins coming to Apex Legends during the upcoming War Games event.

Mirage could be joining Fuse with the pirate-themed skin: Swish-Buckler.

In addition to this, Gibraltar could be getting a cosmetic appearance that better-reflects the cultural heritage behind his character.

In his thread, Shrugtal also mentions skins for Pathfinder, Bloodhound, and promises to reveal more of what he thinks is on the way soon.
