The next Apex Legends Event is set to kick off next week as Respawn Entertainment confirms the release of the new Gaiden Event, featuring the return of Armed and Dangerous, as well as 40 event-limited cosmetic items for players to get their hands on.

Apex Legends' Gaiden Event will kick off on Tuesday, July 19th and run for two weeks before coming to an end on Tuesday, August 2nd. Alongside a returning game mode and new cosmetic items, players will be able to complete new weekly challenges and even get their hands on some special offers via the in-game item store.

Respawn Entertainment broke down the upcoming Gaiden Event in a new blog post, including details of the return of 'Armed and Dangerous' mode.

When the event kicks off next week, players will be able to jump into the returning mode, where weapons are limited to snipers and shotguns, and loot overall is much harder to come by. Armed and Dangerous will be available from July 19th to August 2nd with World’s Edge, Olympus, and Storm Point included in the map rotation.

Fans can also expect flash events to take place during the two-week-long event, which will feature exclusive challenges and rewards. The rewards for completing the upcoming challenges can be found below:
