Respawn accidentally confirmed the Apex Legends Halloween event

Apex Legends has been having some pretty good leak crops lately. Season 3 of Respawn’s battle royale just dropped, confirming a lot of things dataminers had been spoiling for weeks. Virtually everything we had heard about new legend Crypto turned out to be true, for example. Now Respawn itself is getting in on the game. It seems the studio has accidentally confirmed their upcoming Halloween event.

If you have had a chance to jump online since the Season 3 update, you might have noticed some new features on the legend loadout screen. A quip-wheel, the option for randomized music and loading screens, and other good stuff. And if you happened to also check your badge collection, you would have definitely noticed a spooky new badge.

This badge, which we aren’t sure is supposed to be visible yet, confirms the Apex Legends Halloween event leak. Said leak is remarkably fresh, by the way. Just earlier today dataminer Shrugtal posted on Twitter about new code he had found in the games files. Oddly enough, at the time of the tweet the update was likely already live on some platforms. Sometimes you don’t have to dig deep.

Shrugtal was nice enough to also post some of the discovered assets from the Apex Legends Halloween event. It seems legends Crypto, Caustic, and Bloodhound will be getting some campy new looks. Some weapon skins will definitely be part of the Fight of Fright event too.

Lifeline is the biggest winner in terms of cosmetics, however. From what we can glimpse in the leaked code, one of the event rewards is a full heirloom set for the medic legend. The code also mentions “Shadowfall.” Based on how previous events have gone, this is most likely the name of the limited-time match mode.

Pukulkan Keyboard ke Kepalanya Sendiri Saat Streaming, Dellor Diban Permanen dari Twitch

Mantan pemain profesional Overwatch yang juga merupakan seorang streamer di twitch yaitu Matt “Dellor” Vaughn telah dibanned oleh twitch untuk melakukan streaming selamanya. Alasan twitch melakukan ban terhadap Dellor adalah dugaan membahayakan dirinya sendiri saat melakukan streaming.

Hal tersebut terjadi pada minggu kemarin saat Dellor melakukan streaming Apex Legends. Karena kesal Dellor memukulkan keyboard kekepalanya sendiri dan menghancurkannya. Setelah itu Dellor mendapatkan pesan dari twitch bahwa dia telah diban secara permanen karena tindakannya tersebut. Padahal sebelumnya Dellor telah melakukan hal tersebut berulang kali.

Dellor sendiri sudah memberikan penjelasan mengenai aksinya tersebut. Dellor berdalih melakukan hal tersebut untuk menghibur para penontonnya. Selain itu Dellor juga telah menyiapkan keyboard yang mudah rusak dan tidak terlalu keras supaya mudah untuk dihancurkan. Dellor tidak bermaksus untuk membahayakan dirinya sendiri.

Meskipun begitu ban yang diberikan oleh Dellor sudah diputuskan. Twitch juga menganggap bahwa ban permanen tersebut juga karena alasan dari perilaku dari Dellor terdahulu. Dellor memang streamer yang penuh kontroversi sebelumnya. Dia pernah berujar nada berbau rasis kepada pemain lain saat bermain Overwatch.

Belum diketahui langkah selanjutnya dari Dellor. Apakah dia akan memutuskan untuk pensiun menjadi streamer. Ataukah merefleksi diri dan beralih ke platform streaming yang lain. Namun sepertinya untuk kembali menuju twitch merupakan jalan yang sulit bagi Dellor.

BlizzCon 2019 Virtual Ticket

For fans that are unable to make it to BlizzCon in person, they will be able to purchase a virtual ticket. Fans that purchase this will be able to take part in live coverage of the events through a live stream. This consists of an all-access channel with developer interviews, panel coverage, and musical festivities. There will also be a variety of in-game digital cosmetic rewards provided with the $49.99 price tag.

While not all of them have been revealed yet, there are a few in-game rewards for every Blizzard game. These include a pair of wings for Diablo III along with a BlizzCon 2019 Hearthstone card back and unannounced Golden Legendary card. There will be StarCraft II Brood War-era portraits and skins for the Battlecruiser, Ultralisk, and Carrier units. In addition, fans of Heroes of the Storm will receive a commemorative BlizzCon spray, portrait, and Celestial Deepcrawler mount. 

World of Warcraft and Overwatch

With the recent increase in popularity through the release of World of Warcraft Classic, there will also be skins for WoW. This includes a murloc-ified faction leader for the Alliance and Horde with Finduin and Gillvanas. A Wendigo Woolies transmog outfit will also come attached.

The 2019 iteration of BlizzCon will take place between Nov. 1 and 3 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Some of the cosmetic rewards will be available to players before the event actually begins. Is the $50 price worth it if one buys it purely for the in-game rewards? Let us know what you think.
