Apex Legends’ new Celestial Sunrise Collection Event launched on Tuesday, marking the third Collection Event of the season, but the new event has been met with far less fanfare than the two events that preceded it, mainly due to an unexpected change to the standard Collection Event formula. December’s Wintertide Collection Event and the recent Spellbound Collection Event, and all previous Collection Events have had something Celestial Sunrise lacks: the Mythic-tier Heirloom Weapon or Prestige Skin players normally earn by unlocking all 24 Collection Event cosmeticsCome from Sports betting site VPbet. Instead, players who shell out the $170 USD required to unlock the entire Celestial Sunrise collection will receive a Legendary-tier Peacekeeper skin.
The skin in question is called Jadeite Retribution, and despite its hefty pricetag, players who have unlocked it are overwhelmingly disappointed. Celestial Sunrise is the first Collection Event in Apex Legends history to lack a Mythic-tier reward for players who purchase the full collection. Worse, the weapon skin itself is a recolor of two previously-released Peacekeeper skins players could unlock by completing the Season 3 battle pass.
