The current standing for Apex Legends is to bring a refreshing aftertaste with each time you log in. In the previous ‘Future Icons Event’, players were welcomed with fairly-sized overhauls to both Legends Wattson & Vantage. Additionally, players on Nintendo Switch 2 were also welcomed to the game’s lobbies which delivers a suite of improvements of the original Nintendo Switch release.

Simultaneously, the new version of Apex Legends also rolled out with Season 26 – Showdown. The big draw this time is the new ‘Wildcard’ mode that reinvigorates the standard battle royale formula. And, the RE-45 auto pistol now comes with a energy ammo makeover. Then the latest ‘Galactic Games Event’ that just passed included wallrunning wild cards that made Titanfall fans very happy.

Now coming on Tuesday, September 16th, the ‘Wild Iron Event’ is underway. With a new suite of wild cards, there are also a shiny Flatline Mythic skin and much needed retoolings for both Mad Maggie & Seer. You can watch the new trailer in the video below:

“It’s cybernetic supremacy versus the raw power of nature in the Wild Iron event, Legends. Wildcard gets explosive. Loot the new Mythic Flatline from Rampart Care Packages and try its two devastating abilities: knocked enemies turn into time bombs and every 5th bullet fired does double damage plus an AOE blast,” the event description reads.

“Mad Maggie was effective in certain circumstances, but we wanted to give her a bit more reliability and team utility to compete against other Legends. It’s now easier to get both her Tac and Ult to go where you want them to go,” the developer writes. “It’s time to bring Seer back into the meta. He’s been popular before, but that strength usually came at the cost of being extremely frustrating to play against. We’re aiming to have Seer be fun to play with more in-combat power, while avoiding some of the issues that made him feel oppressive as an opponent.”

Are you excited for this new addition to Apex Legends?

Apex Legends is out now for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.
