Apex Legends is all set to launch its highly-anticipated Harbinger Collection Event for the upcoming Season 18. And it looks loaded with exciting new features and updates. This event will bring in Fuse’s heirloom, and a limited-time mode known as Living Shell Trios.
The Harbinger Collection Event will begin on Tuesday, September 19, 2023. Typically, the event updates would go live at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST. The event will need an update to be installed, so it is advised that players make time for that. Respawn Entertainment, the developers of Apex Legends, have already provided full patch notes which details out all the changes and additions players can expect in the forthcoming update.
One of the most interesting highlights of the event will be the introduction of Living Shell Trios in a new limited-time mode. This mode will have a unique ‘target-seeking grenade’ which players can utilize to shoot down to lead an early detonation. This new mode will be accessible to the players throughout the duration of the event.
