The Arenas Flash Event, which is currently active, is a one-week event with a free rewards track that all players can complete byplaying Arenas matchesto complete challenges and earn points. Players that earn 3,000 points during the event will unlock all the rewards which are 25 Crafting Metals, two Rare Apex Packs, and 32 Battle Pass stars – which is a little over three Battle Pass levels.
None of the challenges are particularly difficult but can take a lot of time to complete. The easiest challenges just require players tocomplete multiple Arenas matches, while other challenges task players with winning individual rounds, getting knockdowns, and dealing damage. Players have until May 18 to earn enough points by completing challenges to max out the free rewards track.
EveryApex Legendsplayer will get five challenges to complete every day, although three of them will be two-stage challenges that will take a lot more time to fully complete. The three two-stage challenges will award players 200 points at each stage, which means fully completing one of these challenges will award 400 points. Meanwhile, the two basic challenges will award 100 points each.
Completing every single challenge on a given day will score a player 1,400 points, so the entire rewards track should only take three days to complete, even if players are not able to complete all of the extra stages for the challenges. Players that earn just 1,000 points will still get the 25 Crafting Metals for unlocking cosmetic items and just over two Battle Pass levels of stars.
The Arenas Flash Event description hasArenas announcer andTitanfall 2villain Ashmentioning that “new flash challenges will be offered at [her] discretion." This is the first event of its kind, andApex Legendsplayers should expect more of these flash events for Arenas throughout Season 9. Players can also spend Legend Tokens to reroll their normal Battle Pass daily challenges to get Arena-specific challenges that can also be completed while trying to get the event challenges done, which will help with leveling up the Battle Pass quickly.
Apex Legendsis available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
