Chaos Theory

Chaos Theory was a Collection Event for Season 8 of Apex Legends that ran from March 9th, 2021 to March 23rd, 2021.

Nintendo Switch

With the event came the release of Apex Legends on Nintendo Switch. From March 9th to May 4th, 2021, players who play on Switch will get the new P.A.T.H. Pathfinder skin as well as 30 free Season 8 Battle Pass Levels. Additionally, Switch players were able to earn Double XP for the first two weeks after launch on March 9th.

Town Takeover

Main article: Caustic's Treatment

Replacing Water Treatment, Caustic's Treatment is a large laboratory that has a button that will drain toxins from the whole building. Anyone can activate it. There are also some cages containing high-tier loot, but players must drain the toxins first to get to the loot.

Ring Fury

Ring Fury is a takeover of the normal Play Apex game mode, where an increasing amount of Ring Flares (smaller rings) spawn around the active playspace in addition to the primary ring which behaves as usual. Those who get caught in a Ring Flare take damage equal to the damage dealt by the current round’s Ring. You’ll be given a short warning on the map and minimap before the Ring Flare appears. Legends will call out if they are in direct danger or if there’s one opening up nearby. It's an escalation takeover, meaning that the number of Ring Flares will increase as the event goes on. A new item, the Heat Shield, protects legends from that Ring damage for a period of time before disappearing. Players also get 25% faster revives while in the shield, as long as the Ring is above it.

Trivia

• Maggie was the announcer for the Ring Fury game mode.
• The Nintendo Switch launch was actually about six hours after the event began, rather than happening with the release of the event.
• The Chaos Theory Gambler Badge's ring damage prevention requirement was reduced from 5,000 to 1,000 on the last day of the event to make it easier for people to complete the challenge.
