Apex Legends: Galactic Games
Get ready to knock Legends out of the ring with the Grand Slam Bat, which is available for everyone for a limited time in Wildcard; no unlocking is required. This ultimate choice for fans of hefty melee damage also deals knock backs and an even bigger launch after the third successful hit with the potential to impact multiple enemies. Available in Wildcard Care Packages for the duration of the event. Replicators have been refreshed with a new craftable to help take the edge off: Wild Cards. Craft and activate these little beauties for access to powerful abilities like wall-running, extra melee knockback, or bonus melee damage. You'll unlock a new slot at the start of Rounds 1, 2, and 3, allowing you to equip up to three Wild Cards of your choosing to help you reach the podium. Here's our Wild Card team stepping up to the plate for this limited-time event:
- Mad Dash: gain a dash ability
- Recharger: recharge shields while running
- Personal Space: melee knockback is increased
- Hard Hitter: melee damage is increased
- Status Report: reveal enemy locations on knock
- Wall Runner: gain the ability to Wall-Run
- Speedy Charge: Tactical and Ultimate abilities charge faster
Much like Wildcard itself, this new mechanic will be sticking around and receiving updates as we continue to play in this new ground. Step up to bat while you can, Wildcard returns to its core experience September 9-15, 2025.
