Apex Legends Brings Back Control With Warriors Collection Event

gamespot.com:

Apex Legends is bringing back Control mode, but you're going to have to play it while it lasts. Available as a limited-time addition alongside the Warriors Collection event, Control brings 9v9 mayhem to the game from March 29 through April 12.

For the return of Control, Kings Canyon, Olymbus, and Storm Point will all be featured, with the areas converted to support the objective-based mode. It's a respawn-based mode, unlike Apex Legends' main battle royale, and players can use the map to their advantage. For instance, Caustic's lab allows for teams to intentionally raise toxin levels and cause big problems for the other team when they try to capture a point.

Now Playing: Apex Legends Warriors Collection Event

During the event, players can keep track of progress via the reward tracker, which features 24 themed items. These include legendary skins for Ash, Octane, Horizon, and Lifeline, and unlocking all of them will unlock the bonus Biwon Blade Heirloom for Crypto--the Heirloom was previously mentioned in a large apparent leak of upcoming seasons' content.

A new Arenas map is available during the event, as well: Drop-Off. Split between an interior and exterior area, it features sections for long-range specialists as well as CQC fighters, and a series of moving cargo containers can act as mobile cover while trying to sneak up on the enemy or deliver an unexpected trap.

The full patch notes for the Apex Legends event are available below. Alongside content additions, they also include balance changes to weapons,
