The new Collection Event also gives players the chance to earn free cosmetic rewards.

Apex Legends' new Wintertide Collection Event is now live on all platforms. The collection features 24 frosty new cosmetic items, and players who purchase all 24 cosmetics will receive a free gift: Wraith's Prestige Skin, the Apex Voidshifter. The skin has three different forms, evolving in appearance as players rack up damage. Players who unlock the skin's third and final tier (by dealing 100,000 damage with Wraith) will be bestowed with another free gift: an exclusive new finishing move.

The simplest way to obtain all 24 cosmetics is by purchasing 24 Wintertide Collection Event Packs. Event Packs are a special type of Apex Pack that are guaranteed to unlock one item from the Wintertide cosmetic collection. Event Packs can be found under the "Seasonal" tab at the top of the main lobby screen. They cost 700 Apex Coins ($7 USD) each.

A list of every item in the Wintertide Collection Event can be found below:

Epic-tier items (directly unlockable via 1,000 Apex Coins or 800 Crafting Metals)

But there are also some festive cosmetics available free of charge via the event's reward track. Each week of the event, players will be able to earn Crafting Metals, battle pass Challenge Stars, and free cosmetic items for completing the Wintertide event's free reward track. Points are earned by completing weekly event challenges, which can be found in the same area of the menu where daily challenges are listed. Players must reach 3,000 points each week to unlock all of that week's freebies. Week one's rewards (and the number of points needed to attain them) are listed below:

Free reward track: Week one

• 25 Crafting Metals: 250 points
• 3 Challenge Stars: 500 points
• 10 Challenge Stars: 750 points
• 3 Challenge Stars: 1,000 points
• Ice Giants Weapon Charm (Epic): 1,250 points
• 3 Challenge Stars: 1,500 points
• Here To Break The Ice Gibraltar holospray (Epic): 2,000 points
• 3 Challenge Stars: 2,500 points
• Great Northern Way Alternator weapon skin (Epic): 3,000 points

These rewards will be available until next Tuesday, December 13, when a new reward track will replace the current one. Unlike non-Collection Event cosmetics, the Wintertide cosmetic collection will disappear once the Winter Express leaves the Outlands on December 27, so make sure you've planned accordingly if you wish to obtain any skins that catch your eye. You can get a closer look at each one of the event's cosmetic items (both free and premium) in the gallery below.

Apex Legends is free to play on console and PC. A mobile version of the game, Apex Legends Mobile, is available for download on Android and iOS devices.
