Event

There are three main types of events in Apex Legends: season launches, Themed Events, and Collection Events. Minor events also exist.

Season Launches
These are to coincide with the launch of a new season and will include a new Legend, a major map update, new loot items (weapons, ordnances, etc.), and potentially new features. These events also include significant balance changes.
