April Fools’ Day is nearing, which means there will be plenty of false game announcements and more. It happens every year and is a solid reminder to not trust everything on the internet. Still, forApex Legends, April Fools’ Day is a pretty big deal.
Indeed, several holidays are important toApex Legends. The Holoday Bash is a Christmastime celebration that is welcomed year after year, especially with the return of theWinter Express LTM. Not all holidays are treated similarly, though, but April Fools’ Day is one that has recurring themes. The problem here is that, the common recurring theme won’t work as well this year and, in fact,Apex Legendsshould look to expand its April Fools’ Day celebrations.

Apex Legends + April Fools’ Day
For the past couple of years,Apex Legendshas thrown in a golden Mozambique as an April Fools’ Joke. It’s funny given how much of a meme the weapon is, but it’s also pretty decent nowadays. Having more shots than before and tossing on the Hammerpoints makes it a deadly enough weapon to not be a joke. That won’t work this year, and some fans have instead called forApex Legendsscopes to go on any weaponfor the holiday. Using a Wingman with a 4-8x sniper scope is the sheer chaos fans want out of the event.
But why stop there? April Fools’ Day and its legacy should be celebrated in-game with a full, proper chaotic LTM. Whereas Winter Express introduces a interesting 3v3v3, a proper April Fools’ Day event could see anything go: not just sniper scopes on a Wingman, but Hammerpoints on a Flatline, bring back olderhop-ups like Disruptor roundsand throw them on a L-Star, and more. That’s not to say any and every combination could go, but it is just for chaotic fun.
More so than that, perhaps ultimates could be random—Gibraltar pulling out Rampart’s big machine gun, Lifeline usingOctane’s jump pad, and more. It would make no sense, but that would embrace the spirit of the holiday. Perhaps the ring could even behave erratically, really making chaos a full joke for the holiday.
Of course, this isn’t likely to happen, but it’s a nice thought. Developer Respawn has been looking into more LTMs, as evidenced by the recentControl game mode (which is returning toApex Legendseventually), and this sort of chaotic fun would add a nice twist to the game—even if it’s for just one day.
Apex Legendsis available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. Mobile is available in some areas; PS5 and Xbox Series X enhancements are in development.
