Apex Legends' next event, Unshackled, brings back Flashpoint
Flashpoint is back in Apex Legends.
The fan-favorite time-limited mode - which sees Legends seeking out Flashpoint zones on the map in order to re-gen their health and shields - is back again as part of Apex Legends' upcoming new event, Unshackled.
Unshackled will run for two weeks, kicking off on April 19. There'll be 40 new "event-themed" cosmetics up for grabs, including new skins, charms, and badges to unlock.
"Unleash your Legends’ full power in the Unshackled Event!" developer Respawn says in an update on the official website. "Play on Olympus as you never have before in limited-time mode Flashpoint. You won’t find shield or health items: instead, regenerate health and shield in flashpoint zones that you’d better be ready to fight for!
"Unlock 40 event-themed cosmetics and play your way through two unique weekly challenge tracks, each packed with new items."

Adaptive triggers and haptic feedback will be coming to the PS5 version
