The first collection event for Season 20 of Apex Legends is here: Inner Beast. The event includes a new Takeover mode, a recolor for Octane’s butterfly knife heirloom, and of course lots of new skins.
The big focus for this event is the new mode, called The Hunt, where players will be tasked with hunting down a specific rival squad.
As with all collection events inApex Legends, there will also be a total of 24 event-limited cosmetics to unlock. Completing the collection, by unlocking all of them, will grant Octane’s heirloom recolor.
Check out the full details for the Inner Beast Collection Event below, viaRespawn.
New Takeover mode: The Hunt
In this mode, your squad will have the option to pick up datapads that assign and track a ‘prey’ squad for you to pursue. The enemy squad is selected at random, and once you’re in range (70m) they will be alerted to your presence.
A successful hunt will grant a ‘bonus reward’ – or, if you fail, the hunted team will earn this reward instead.
There’s an obvious orange and purple theme for this set of skins, with recolored legendaries for Octane, Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Caustic, Rampart and Loba.

All of these skins are recolors of course, and that theme continues with the heirloom you get for completing the collection (aka buying all of the items).
Another classic legend getting an heirloom recolor, Octane’s time is now. His butterfly knife, typically green, gets an orange makeover, called ‘Octane’s Prototype.’
