The Unshackled thematic event has finally arrived in Apex Legends and it’s bringing a range of fresh cosmetics, rewards, and the return of the Flashpoint LTM.

Apex Legends Season 12 certainly didn’t disappoint with the Rebel Warlord Mad Maggie and the Olympus map overhaul giving the community plenty of content to get stuck into.

Now the Warriors Collection event has come to a close, there’s one more update to tick off the Defiance roadmap, and that’s the Unshackled thematic event.

The Flashpoint LTM is returning in Apex Legends.

Although the majority of thematic events only include cosmetics and no in-game content, Unshackled will be slightly different. On top of the new skins, the Flashpoint game mode will be returning, but this time on Olympus.

Completely replacing healing items, players will need to head to the huge blue domes called Flashpoints scattered across the map to regenerate health and shields.

This adds a new dynamic to the match and it’s worth remembering, that the final circle will always end on a Flashpoint, so be prepared.

Apex Legends Unshackled prize trackers

Similar to the Dark Depths thematic event, Unshackled will have multiple prize trackers that last for one week each during the 14-day event.

That way, players will be consistently earning new rewards and will always have a reason to dive down into the Outlands.
