Apex Legends Season 17 is getting its first event in the form of the Dressed to Kill Collection. This update comes with some big legend changes as well as some desirable cosmetics. Here are all the changes coming to Apex Legends Season 17.
Season 17 has been a bit uneventful (literally) so far. But the community is now being given 24 collection cosmetics, a Horizon heirloom, massive balance changes, bug fixes, and the return of the Armed & Dangerous limited time mode.
When is the Dressed to Kill event update?
The Dressed to Kill Collection event is going live on June 20, 2023.
It will start at 10 AM PST and last for two weeks, ending on July 4, 2023.
Dressed to Kill Collection skins
The biggest draw of the Dressed to Kill Collection is the massive amount of new cosmetics. There are 24 cosmetics in total, including Legendary skins for Crypto, Horizon, Mad Maggie, and Newcastle. Unlocking all of these skins during the two weeks will automatically reward you with Horizon’s heirloom, called Gravity Maw.
The reactions to the skins were largely positive. The mysterious and dangerous-looking Crypto skin was a fan-favorite as well as Horizon.
But other fans noted that these two legends seem to get skins during almost every event and asked developers if they would make skins for less popular legends instead. Others wondered why Loba was not included in an event called Dressed to Kill when she is described as a fashionista.
