Apex Legends players will be glad to know that Flashpoint will be returning for a limited time during the upcoming Unshackled event, between April 19 and May 3. Flashpoint mode takes place on the floating city of Olympus and features a round where all healing items are removed. Instead, Legends have to find Flashpoint zones where they can heal themselves by standing within the demarcated area.

As part of the event, two unique weekly challenge tracks called Flash Events will reward you with special event themed goodies. Between April 19 and April 26, you can earn a unique badge, an epic charm, an epic Re-45 skin, and an epic skin for Seer.
