Apex Legends Introduces Galactic Games with Bat-Focused Wildcard Mode
Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts have launched Galactic Games, a new event in their free-to-play first-person action game, Apex Legends. This event invites players to represent their planet in the Outlands, focusing on intense melee combat within the Wildcard mode, which transforms into a full-contact sport. Players can demonstrate their prowess with the Grand Slam Bat, a universal close-quarters weapon available as loot in care packages. Players knock out opponents and send them flying off the battlefield with a three-hit combo or a charged hit. Within Wildcard mode, players gain enhanced abilities, including wall-running and increased close-range damage. Replicators also allow for the creation of “Wild Cards,” which unleash powerful effects such as wall-running, reduced recoil in close combat, or heightened melee damage. The event also introduces limited-time cosmetics, featuring legendary skins for Legends like Loba, Sparrow, and Bangalore, alongside legendary weapon skins for the R301, Flatline, and other armaments. Players can earn Honor, an exclusive Galactic Games currency, to unlock various items, including Event Packs and Epic Apex Packs.
