Two iconic franchises are about to collide in spectacular fashion. The Apex Legends x Gundam Event officially launches on March 10, bringing Mobile Suit warfare to the Apex Games in what is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious collaborations in franchise history.
Respawn’s hit battle royale, Apex Legends, is teaming up with the legendary mecha universe of Gundam to deliver new gameplay mechanics, Wild Cards, weapons, cosmetics, and even real-world collectibles.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Apex Legends x Gundam Event.
Broken Moon Transforms Into a Gundam Battlefield
For the duration of the Apex Legends x Gundam Event, Broken Moon undergoes a dramatic transformation. Players will drop into a war-torn battleground littered with destroyed Mobile Suits, towering climbable Wing Gundam statues, and massive ships clashing overhead.
This limited-time overhaul fully embraces the Gundam aesthetic, turning Apex’s sci-fi setting into a full-scale mecha warzone.
Wield the Buster Rifle & Dominate the Skies
One of the standout additions in the Apex Legends x Gundam Event is the powerful Buster Rifle, available through Care Packages.
The weapon allows players to:
- Launch skyward for aerial reconnaissance
- Scan through walls to reveal enemies
- Fire devastating laser beams that cut through cover and explode on impact
In true Gundam fashion, mobility and firepower combine for high-risk, high-reward engagements.
New Wild Cards Deliver Gundam-Inspired Abilities
The Apex Legends x Gundam Event introduces new Wild Cards that drastically shake up gameplay. Each ability channels the power and style of iconic Mobile Suits.
Epyon’s Lash
Adds a magnetic melee pull Tactical ability, allowing aggressive players to drag enemies into close-quarters combat.
Heavyarms Salvo
After landing multiple hits, enemies are marked for air support missile strikes—perfect for coordinated squad pressure.
Zero Sacrifice
Triggers a self-destruct explosion upon death, damaging or eliminating nearby enemies in a last-stand blast.
Zero Rebirth
When knocked, players can enter the Void and re-emerge with 1 HP, temporary invulnerability, and health regeneration—offering a clutch comeback mechanic.
These additions bring fresh tactical layers to the Apex Legends x Gundam Event, encouraging bold plays and high-impact moments.
Bit Staves & Drone Command Add Strategic Depth
Beyond weapons and Wild Cards, players can utilize Bit Staves as deployable shields to absorb incoming fire while advancing on enemies.
Alternatively, Drone Command allows players to patrol, scan, and attack opponents remotely—mirroring Gundam’s signature remote weapon systems.
The event leans heavily into Gundam’s core themes: overwhelming firepower, mobility, and battlefield control.
Legendary Skins, Medals & Gundam-Themed Rewards
No Apex collaboration is complete without cosmetics, and the Apex Legends x Gundam Event delivers plenty.
Players can unlock:
- Legendary Gundam-inspired skins
- Exclusive cosmetics
- Event-themed weapon finishes

By earning Medals throughout the event, players can redeem Gundam-themed rewards in the in-game Reward Shop.
