Apex Legends Ascended Hunt Event Now Live

The Ascended Hunt event turns Apex Legends' Wildcard mode into a power-scaling fight. On drop, players choose an EVO Enhancing Wild Card and level it up by collecting EVO throughout the match. The available cards are:

• EVO Enhancing Hipfire: tightens hipfire bullet spread
• EVO Enhancing Crits: raises critical hit chance
• EVO Enhancing Shield Regen: speeds up shield regeneration
• EVO Enhancing Lifesteal: steals health from enemies on damage dealt
• EVO Enhancing Mantle Boosts: launches players higher and farther when mantling
• EVO Enhancing Slide Boosts: extends slide length and speed

More Wild Card slots open as a match goes on, so the longer a player survives, the more cards they can stack. Wildcard's map rotation also changes for the event, cycling through Kings Canyon, E-District, and Broken Moon.

The event's headline reward is a new Gibraltar Prestige Skin called Apex Bruddah, a three tier golden armor design with an elemental fire theme. Players earn Marks throughout the event to work toward it. The finished skin includes a custom Finisher and a unique Dive Trail.

Ascended Hunt adds 24 new cosmetics. Legendary skins are available for Valkyrie, Conduit, Wraith, Alter, Lifeline, and Horizon, alongside new weapon skins for the R-301, Havoc, Alternator, L-STAR, Bocek, and 30-30 Repeater. The full Ascended Hunt Collection is available in the Store tab or as possible drops from Event Packs.

Earning Marks during the event also unlocks items from a rotating Reward Shop, including an Epic Mad Maggie skin, a new banner frame, Battle Pass stars, crafting metals, and Event Packs.

Note: The Ascended Hunt Event and its Collection are available from August 18 to September 8, 2026. Items not claimed or purchased within that window will no longer be obtainable through the event.
