Apex Legends has kicked off one of its most ambitious crossover events yet, teaming up with the legendary Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. The event, titled “Wildcard: Gundam Takeover”, launched on March 10, 2026, and will run until mid-April, offering players an exciting mix of themed gameplay, exclusive rewards, and visually stunning skins.
Gundam-Themed Limited-Time Mode
At the heart of this event is a limited-time mode (LTM) that transforms the battlefield into a Gundam-inspired arena. Classic maps, including the Apex Legends Bot Lobby, now feature giant Gundam statues, mech-themed structures, and futuristic terrain elements, giving the game a fresh and immersive visual experience.
Players can use exclusive weapons such as the Buster Rifle, which fires powerful energy beams, and Bit Staves, versatile mech-inspired shields that can deploy defensive or offensive drones. Special abilities, like Epyon’s Lash and Zero Sacrifice, bring unique Gundam-style combat mechanics to the battlefield, creating new strategies for seasoned players.
Legendary Gundam Skins
The event introduces a wide array of Gundam-themed skins for multiple Legends. Highlights include:
In addition, players can unlock Char Aznable-inspired Sparrow skins, Gundam-themed weapon skins for Kraber, R-301, and R-99, as well as two exclusive heirloom weapons: the Beam Saber and Epyon Heat Rod. Each item comes with unique animations and visual effects that make them stand out in matches.
How to Get Gundam Rewards

Challenges and Gameplay Rewards
The event also includes special challenges, encouraging players to compete in both the Gundam Wildcard mode and regular matches. Completing these challenges rewards points that can be exchanged for skins, weapons, and other cosmetic items.
