EDIT: I made a mistake, the event is July 13th!(Click here to go to the original post on the EA site)
Crank it up a notch with a new Arenas map, weekly rewards tracks, and splashy new looks when the Thrillseekers event begins on 7/13/21.
The Thrillseekers Event kicks off July 13, 2021 and runs until August 3, 2021.
Read on for details.
New Arenas Map: Overflow
The floor is lava! Well, some of it, anyway.
Overflow differs from other Arena maps by being lane focused; where each location is separated by tall, lava-filled structures. With this separation, players cannot easily spot early decisions made by the other team and will need to stay vigilant before committing to a side or risk being flanked. While there are opportunities for long-range engagements, combat tends to favor short-to-medium ranges along either POI: Overlook or Slope.
Overlook is a long, open area with a central interior that gives a height advantage over this POI. While this area is perfect for snipers or DMRs, players may want to hold the interior to control not only this area but their flank as well. Slope, as the name implies, offers both a high ground and a unique area where players can slide down to a remote part of the map. This area can be used for sneaky flanks or defensive setups where players may not expect it.
Overflow feels pretty different from our other maps, and our hope is that it will feel rewarding for both defensive and aggressive players alike. Let us know what you think!
Weekly Reward Tracks
Let’s talk about the good stuff: unlockables. For the three weeks of the event, we’re running back-to-back rewards tracks:
Week one gives you a chance to unlock the Rampart Wastelander Set, which includes a matching gun charm, weapon skin, and a Legendary Rampart skin. Week two grants Battle Pass boosters, crafting metals, and Apex packs. Week three includes the Lethal Enforcer Bangalore Skin, along with other goodies!
You can earn over 1,000 points per day and challenges refresh daily. There are also stretch challenges that reward four unique badges if you complete them during the event. All of these challenges also stack with your Battle Pass, so you can complete multiple at once.
There will also be three specific badges you can unlock—one each week—for reaching certain milestones in Arenas:
Week 1 Badge: Play 20 Arena Games Total Week 2 Badge: Get 100 Knockdowns Total in Arenas Week 3 Badge: Deal 12,000 Damage Total in Arenas Thrillseekers cosmetics and Summer Splash Sale
Also kicking off on 7/13 is The Summer Splash Sale. For a couple of weeks, we’re bringing back fan-favorite skins—including Youngblood and Voidwalker!—and running some enticing sales on Apex packs. Check out the store once the event begins and check back daily to see what we’ve got. The Summer Splash Sale runs until 7/27.
All these cosmetics are Event Limited. They may return in a future event or promotion.
That’s all, Legends! See you in the Arena.

Comment by DanielZKlein:
We've been testing Overflow since before Arenas launched and it's been my favorite Arena. Can't wait for you all to play on it!
Comment by DanielZKlein:
Yup! The idea right now is 3 custom maps (Phase Runner / Partycrasher / Overflow) plus a POI from a BR map, usually rotating weekly as they have been.
Comment by DanielZKlein:
Skulltown is gonna be gone when the Genesis event ends. It was never a great Arenas map (too vertical, too many routes, very chaos for chaos' sake) plus there's a technical limitation: if we wanna keep Skulltown in rotation, we'd have to keep the entirety of season 0 KC in the build. Build size is a...
Comment by DanielZKlein:
Yup! There's more in the works. No ETA of course; it takes a while to make maps and to make sure they're up to our standards.
Comment by DanielZKlein:
We'll have four maps in rotation for S10: 3 custom maps and one BR POI. Honestly, using a POI from an existing BR map is... okay, but nowhere near as good as using a custom maps. We're putting all the custom maps we have into rotation, but it just takes time to make more good custom maps. There'll b...

How is there still no cowboy revolver skin for the wingman? They give Mirage 12 different cowboy skins but the only revolver in the game still doesn't have a classic 6 shooter looking one?
ID: h4ounxk -
So from what I gather, respawn basically has to have constant arena events to keep the arena population playable otherwise it will basically turn into even worse matchmaking than it already is.
-
Ok... One quick question
What are the odds of the Petty thief skin for loba coming back in a later collections event? I have saving microsoft points to get the coins to buy the skin...but now with voidwalker coming back... I am not sure which to go for. Voidwalker is such an awesome skin but petty thief is too...
ID: h4ukinnGet petty theif now, I'm sure void walker will return one way or another.

Doubt I'll get to play with all these code wheels

Will that r301 skin be craftable? $60 is ridiculous

I hope they fix the lobby cramming your CPU to 100% bug so I can play this event
ID: h4gipckSeriously tho, performance is fucking wonky lately.
ID: h4gztjwIt used to be almost flawless for me (Ryzen 5 GTX-1660) but this last update completely broke the game on my PC. Everyone stutters and rubberbands back and forth so getting into fights is a coin toss. My FPS is still okay, and ping says I’m fine, but definitely something changed with the last update.
I’ll just play another game I guess until it’s fixed.
ID: h4hd25wStart steam/origin, whatever you use. Right click on it, go to details, set the affinity to use only 0 through 7.
That should fix your problem.

Does this mean the season ends later?
ID: h4ijn95No season still ends on august 3rd
-
Will we have patch notes?
ID: h4gi8qzThere's no update. Afaik the files for the event were already in the last update.
ID: h4gkb14Ok, ty

Why does every mirage skin have to be a meme man
ID: h4kpy7iYou’re talking about a man who’s heirloom is literally a statue of himself.
ID: h4gkbbfBecause Mirage IS a meme-man, man.

Poor Caustic. Not invited to the BBQ.

I can't be the only one who thinks the new Rev skin looks like he has General Grievous's face right?
ID: h4fr04gI was thinking bionicle, but it was my second thought because I couldn't remember general grievous's name.
ID: h4fkq2rNew Revenant heirloom: 4 spinning lightsabers.
ID: h4hjfutAhh, a fine addition to my collection.

I don't like most of the premium shit and I've got everything I could want for cosmetics.
Best believe I will be playing nothing but arenas for 3 weeks though. So...basically, same as before the Genesis event lol.
-
This is very frustating, since Genesis update i still can't get into lobby properly because of the "forever black screen" loading screen and always disconnected wheter i join any party. takes around 20 minute to properly play this game. I hope the dev aware of this problem.
-
code wheel, code leaf, code net still F***** exist, and they are focusing on new ways to rip gamers. for fk sack, I am unable to play the game due to these errors. fix the shitty servers...

Why does it seem like the Ring Leader Bundle include stat trackers as part of the bundle? Don't we usually get these for free by doing the challenges of the event?
ID: h4j08s6And week 2 prize tracker doesn't even have any rewards. Paying to show stats, smh.
ID: h4kc5c5I was wondering too. Missing a lot of the stat trackers since i joined apex at s8. Feels bad... i love the trackers and they give me an extra motivation to play other legends. Plz add them here and there to some Events, starting with the legends who got theirs first! :-*
ID: h4h360iNew FOMO

matchmaking is so garbage, every mode is thrash for solo queue.
ID: h4lq66yI'm playing less and less due to matchmaking. It's simply not fun anymore and I'm getting put in with much better players in every game. It's either matchmaking or lack of players in general. I never thought I'd get here, but I'm likely done with Apex. Been playing it since day 1 and pretty much exclusively.

Going to be tough to play this event after slogging through 50 Arena wins. Hope some challenges can be Br related.
ID: h4f83umdoes the 50 arena wins only get you that genesis badge? or is there anything else you get from completing it?
ID: h4glduo3.5 wins per day is how I looked at it. It's been a pretty easy ride, but then I like arenas anyway.
ID: h4hody4Wait there is a badge for 50 wins. Eff this. And o my during this event !

ARENA MATCHING SYSTEM

Leaving a game ruins the fun for your teammates.
Ah how unthoughtful of ME to ruin the fun for my teammates.
ID: h4kvjvaSo it hasn't been only me lately

The data miners did impressive work with this one lol

So just the exact same as the "flash event" but this time they're flogging skins?
ID: h4f7wvkPretty much asides from the new map.
ID: h4h5yadYes

Fingers crossed for today's Future of FPS show has some info on the next-gen console update.
