Arriving with the Apex Legends: Amped mid-season update, the all-new Winter Wipeout Event is live now until January 27.
During Winter Wipeout, players can shred their way into Olympus using new Hoverboards and freeze out the competition with new Wild Cards. Additionally, the mid-season patch tunes up Octane, Crypto and Newcastle with new meta updates.
What can you expect from Winter Wipeout?
Shred Through Enemies in Wildcard
Drop into Wildcard and shred Olympus with new Hoverboards! Legends can carve across cover, wall-ride out of danger, and throw down tricks mid-air, with every trick earning a speed boost and EVO rewards.
Reach Peak Performance with Legend Meta Updates
Octane heals faster with low health and gains access to Stim Surge, a new protective ability that only triggers on low health. His Launch Pad now starts stronger with double jumps, double pads, and smoother aerial control, alongside new Upgrades that add even more mobility, including ally Stim boosts and Launch Pad triple jumps.
Crypto enhances his recon game with expanded vision from his Surveillance Drone, faster deployment, and quicker switching. His EMP now shuts down enemy Amps, along with several former upgrades now becoming part of his base kit, opening space for new Upgrades like Digital Trailblazer for ally mobility and Power Coupling for faster Ultimate charge through scans.
Newcastle dominates holding down the line as his Mobile Shield now increases in speed and has a shorter cooldown, while his Castle Wall now blocks more incoming projectiles. New Upgrades grant Newcastle an offensive and defensive boost, including a permanently charged Stronghold, auto-loading weapons, and full shield regen on revives. He now fires immediately after finishing a revive from his fast-activating Ultimate, allowing for quicker critical saves.
New Wild Cards Freeze Out the Competition
Master the ultimate cold-shoulder with new Wild Cards built for frightful battles: Brain Freeze deals bonus headshot damage while slowing opponents, Love Potion provides nearby teammates consumable effects, and Protective Launch grants shield regeneration every time a player hits a jump pad.
Chilling Rewards & Drops
Stock up on Glint throughout the event to unlock Winter Wipeout items from the Reward Shop. Bundle up this winter in style with winter sports aesthetic Legendary Skins and matching weapons for Bloodhound, Alter, and Fuse – all available from possible drops in Winter Wipeout Event Packs!
