Respawn Entertainment has started a new event in Apex Legends and this one is called Battle Armor. The name is as simple as the premise. Over the next couple of weeks players will only be dropped into Apex Legends matches with the armour already equipped. Right now, that armour is the weakest white armour and that will be in place up until May 2nd. Then it will move on to blue armour then purple armour. Evo armour will be the last lot active and when that is over season 5 of Apex Legends will begin. The full schedule is below.
- Tuesday, April 28 @ 10am PDT – Saturday, May 2nd @ 10am PDT: Level 1 (White) armor only.
- Saturday, May 2 @ 10:01 am PDT – Wednesday, May 6 @ 10am PDT: Level 2 (Blue) armor
- Wednesday, May 6 @ 10:01am PDT – Saturday, May 9 @ 10am PDT: Level 3 (Purple) armor. We expect to see some drawn out fights as everyone drops with some of the best armor in the game.
- Saturday, May 9 @ 10:01 am PDT – Tuesday, May 12th @ 10am PDT (when Season 5 kicks off): Evo Armor only.
Respawn also confirmed that the Battle Armor event will be the first in a number of events that changes the core gameplay, with a lot more to come during season 5. The studio has not stated what kind events those will be however. In addition, Season 4 has been extended by a week to allow players to grind more of the battle pass and reach a new ranked level.
