Apex Legends Final Fantasy Rebirth Event
The worlds of Apex Legends and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are set to collide in a crossover event that brings a host of new items and cosmetics, abilities, a BR Takeover, and more!
This page acts as a comprehensive breakdown of the Apex Legends x FF7R crossover event, including its runtime.
Apex Legends x Final Fantasy Rebirth Runtime
The crossover event runs from January 9th, 2024 to January 30th, 2024.
Final Fantasy VII Takeover
As part of this BR Takeover, you'll be able to find the Buster Sword R2R5, coming with its own unique gameplay abilities. After picking it up from the ground or from Care Packages, you'll have access to both light and heavy attacks, as well as the ability to block and reduce any incoming damage, or the ability to dash and speed up your traversal (be it an escape or a chase). By performing these actions, you'll build your Limit Break.
Materia Hop-Ups
As you explore the map during this Takeover, you'll find various Materia Hop-Ups on the ground that you can pick up for additional bonuses and effects. Each one is unique and will only attach to select weapons. The effects of each are as follows:
Materia Type | Effect Name | Effect Ability |
---|---|---|
Blue Materia | HP Absorb | Damage enemies to heal yourself |
Green Materia | Lightning | Reload an empty weapon to emit a shock nova, damaging and slowing nearby enemies |
Purple Materia | Crit Rate Up | Random criticals provide extra damage |
Red Materia | Summon | Summon a Nessie companion to attack your foes |
Yellow Materia | Assess | Damage enemies to see their remaining health |
Apex Legends x FF7R Cosmetics
A total of 36 items are available for you to collect as part of this crossover, including Iconic skins for Horizon and Newcastle. All items (including the Buster Sword R5 Melee Cosmetic) will be awarded randomly via event packs, with a no duplicate guarantee.
The Buster Sword R5 cosmetic (not the R2R5 from the Takeover) is a Universal Mythic Melee Cosmetic that can be equipped in place of heirlooms or fists, and has no gameplay abilities.
If you manage to collect all 36 items before the event ends, then you'll automatically receive the One-Winged Angel Death Box, which is a brand new cosmetic item that is equippable for any Legend via the new Lobby Melee tab.
Iconic Outfits
The six Iconic outfits as part of this event are as follows:
WATTSON
CRYPTO
VALKYRIE
NEWCASTLE
HORIZON
WRAITH
Gil & Reward Shop
Gil is a new event currency for this crossover, which you'll earn while playing the event mode and completing challenges. With this you can then unlock event-limited items. Gil can also be used to earn additional Battle Pass Stars!
