The Gundam x Apex Legends collaboration comes flying onto your screens in style, featuring outfits from your favourite Gundam shows along with a new update to the game's Wildcard mode, where you can get your hands on the new Bit Staves. There's also the fearsome new Buster Rifle, which completely changes how you choose to play the mode.
There is also a free rewards shop featuring an 'Epic' rarity Char skin for Sparrow, Gundam badge, Char tracker set and much more. Not only are there Legend skins, but also a plethora of weapon skins to arm yourself with, and other Gundam-themed cosmetics in the two collection events revolving around two new mythics: the Epyon Heat Rod and the Beam Saber.
The eight skins are spread evenly across the two collection events. The Legend skins are up for purchase in the store for 2,150 Apex Coins each.

Wildcard "Gundam Frontlines"
Wildcard comes to Broken Moon, but with a twist.
You will witness massive space battles, Gundam statues, and fallen Mobile Suits that litter the landscape as chaos ensues with the addition of the new Buster Rifle and Bit Staves that have you rethinking how you approach battles.
Alongside this, there are also new Wildcards that are up for crafting, centred around Gundam. These include:
- Zero Rebirth
- Plunges you into the void on knockdown, giving you a chance to escape.
- Zero Sacrifice
- Upon death, initiate a self-destruct mechanic that lets you deal massive damage to nearby teams.
- Epyon's Lash
- magnetically pulls enemies toward you, allowing for close-quarters fights.
- Heavyarms Salvo
- allows for a missile airstrike after a certain number of hits on an enemy. If you're consistent and confident, this card is for you!
How Bit Staves Work
Bit Staves are a defensive item that can either be deployed to a location and defend as a drone, or be ordered to provide an extra layer of defence for your Legend, helping in high-intensity environments like Wildcard.
Using The Buster Rifle
The Buster Rifle is the star of the show when it comes to this Wildcard update.
This rifle is both a reconnaissance expert and a beast when it comes to destruction. The rifle has a capability to send you up into the air, marking all hostiles and giving you the chance to send out a beam of energy, dealing immense damage over time to anyone caught in the blast.
Do be warned, though, it will take some time to charge, and in this time, you are completely vulnerable to counterattacks, so choose your actions wisely.
So, with all the new ways to play Wildcard, will you be taking the dive onto the frontline?
