Apex Legends Season 5 – Treasure Hunter event

The event has been called “Treasure Hunter” and it was first leaked by Shrugtal. It is clear that the developers have been planning for an Apex Legends Treasure Hunter event for quite some time now. There have been some physical files that were unearthed by the game’s data miners. One of the leakers also got his hands on a themed-Loot Tick that might debut in the game along with the Apex Legends Treasure Hunter event.

The Tick, itself, features a steampunk design and has been decked out in gold and bronze colours. The body appears to be decorated in cartographic symbols. The logic follows as treasure hunts commonly start with a map. In fact, Biast12 also uncovered bits of a map texture that may appear in-game. The leaker also revealed in a tweet that a closer look at the loot tick appears to feature the names of certain parts of the World’s Edge map as well. The names he was able to identify include The Dome and Lave City.

As of now, there is no word from the developer team around the possible event; however, many suspect that a trailer or announcement should come any day now.

Apex Legends has been offering users a chance to grab some pretty exciting skins for their favourite Apex Legends characters with the Apex Packs and constant updates to the in-game store; however, they aren't as exciting as the collection events. These events last for a limited period and are usually available for around two weeks during a new Apex season. This allows players an opportunity to get their hands on some of the exclusive cosmetic items.
