The Apex Legends team launched the Blood Pact limited event on 13 October 2026, turning Kings Canyon into a haunted map and splitting every Legend between Beasts and Demons. In Wildcard, you pledge to a faction and earn its Wild Cards through in-match challenges, while the end date is not stated yet.
What is new in Blood Pact
The core of the event is a faction choice inside Wildcard. Every round throws down a fresh challenge, such as dealing enough damage or landing enough knocks. Complete it and you earn your faction's Wild Card for that match.
| Faction | Wild Card bonuses | Playstyle |
|---|---|---|
| Beasts | Bonus melee movement speed, faster cells and weapon switching, temporary critical hits on reload | Fast, aggressive monster |
| Demons | Faster ability recharge, high-tier shields, full shield recharge with one cell | Durable infernal powerhouse |
The map itself has changed too. A spooky Kings Canyon now hosts several new elements:
- Fog that can randomly descend, hiding squad movement and reducing sightlines.
- Rev Shell Grenades, brought back to seek out players lurking in the dark.
- Haunted buildings and glowing Nessies across the map.
- Haunted Loot Bins and Pumpkin-skinned EVO orbs, plus other hidden scares.
Blood Pact Store cosmetics
The Blood Pact Store carries themed items for both sides. Sparrow gets an 80s werewolf Legend Skin and a Character Select Animation. Alter gets a new Legend Skin, joined by a new R-99 Weapon Skin. New Beast and Demon Legend Retheme Bundles are also listed, along with more items. Costs and any free event rewards are not stated yet.
What it means for players
Your faction choice should match how you play. Players who push fights and finish knocks at close range get the most from Beasts, since faster weapon switching and melee speed reward constant pressure. Players who lean on abilities and long fights will likely prefer Demons.
The Demon shield perks deserve attention. Full shield recharge from a single cell means you can reset faster between fights, which helps squads that third party often. High-tier shields add a safety margin on top.
Fog changes positioning. When it rolls in, sightlines shrink and squads can move unseen, so listen for footsteps and keep Rev Shell Grenades ready to flush out hiding teams. Since the event end date is not stated yet, try both factions early rather than waiting.
