Apex Legends Sun Squad Collection Event LTM Heatwave Explained
As part of the Sun Squad Collection Event, a brand new LTM will be available to play — Heatwave.
The LTM is played in Trios, with the usual rules applying, except this time periodic Heatwaves occur throughout the match. These Heatwaves cause damage to players out in the sun, so you'll need to take cover indoors or under objects to stay safe.
If you're caught out in the open, the only way to keep cool on the move is to slide.
Heatshields are also now bigger and able to block the intense heat from the sun, but deploy them outside of the Ring and they'll be quick to destroy. Care Packages also contain a way to stay cool, but players will need to dive into a match to work it out.
