Apex Legends Dark Depths event: Skins, Habitat Arenas map, & new rewards

Respawn Entertainment

The under-water themed Dark Depths event has arrived in Apex Legends and it’s bringing a range of fresh cosmetics, rewards, and the brand new Arenas map Habitat.

The arrival of Apex Legends Season 11: Escape has proven to be a hit with players as it finally brought Titanfall’s Ash as a new legend, as well as the Storm Point map.

As ever, though, players are keen for Respawn to add some new content to the game and the devs have delivered with the upcoming Dark Depths event.

With two primary POIs on both sides in Cave and Nest, the map caters to players who prefer long-range engagements, and those who like taking a more stealthy approach.

This is definitely worth checking out on release and offers something completely different from any of the current Arenas maps.

Apex Legends Dark Depths prize trackers & flash events

Instead of having a single tracker, Dark Depths will introduce three separate prize trackers for each of the weeks that the event is live. That way, players will be constantly earning new rewards all the way up to February.
