Apex Legends Final Fantasy Rebirth event takeover explained
Throughout the Apex Legends Final Fantasy Rebirth takeover event you will be able to find R2R5 Swords scattered as loot across the map. You can also steal this from other player's death boxes or from care packages if you don't grab one at first.
You can use this Sword as a weapon throughout the event, you can block, use light or heavy attacks and can use dash to get close to your enemies quickly. Doing this will fill your meter to be able to use the Limit Break ability.
As well as your pointy friend, you also should watch out for Materia Hop-Ups. Each Hop-Up can only be attached to specific weapons and the different colours has its own bonuses:
- Blue - Damage enemies to heal yourself.
- Purple - Random criticals proved extra damage.
- Red - Summons a Nessie companiono to attack enemies.
- Green - Reload an empty weapon to emit a shock nova, damaging and slowing enemies.
- Yellow - Damage enemies to learn how much health they have left.
Apex Legends Final Fantasy Rebirth event pack pricing explained
As with many Apex Legends events, you can get special event-specific Apex Packs (filled with goodies) while this takeover is happening. However, there has been some outrage over the event pack pricing, especially as this is the first crossover event for this title.
You get one pack for free when you start the event. Then, you can purchase one pack at a time or you can buy a four-pack set to guarantee that you'll get an Iconic or Legendary tier item. However, the pricing for an individual pack will increase depending on how many event items you currently own.
Here is a list of the pricing for the individual packs based on how many event items you have:
- One Item - 100 Apex Coins or 1,650 Crafting Metals
- Two to Six Items - 500 Apex Coins or 1,650 Crafting Metals
- Seven to Fifteen Items - 700 Apex Coins or 1,650 Crafting Metals
- Sixteen to Thirty-Five Items - 1,000 Apex Coins or 1,650 Crafting Metals.
Apex Legends Final Fantasy Rebirth event items list
Now, while you're trying to collect all of the event items you will be rewarded for reaching a few specific milestones:
- x5 Items - Epic Fighting Foul (Epic Holo)
- x10 Items - Chocobo Square (Epic Universal Frame)
- x30 Items - Victory Pose Emote (Legendary)
Then, when you collect all 36 items you will be rewarded with the One-Winged Angel Deathbox.
