Apex Legends 'Legendary Hunt' Event – Elite Queue, Challenge Rewards, 2XP Dates and More

A brand new limited-time event called "The Legendary Hunt" was launched in Apex Legends, and we're here to make sure we understand everything.

On June 4th, Respawn Entertainment developers finally released the next major update in Apex Legendswhich included many full corrections and a multitude of new content.

One of the most important aspects of the update was The Legendary Hunt, a time-limited mode that includes the Elite Apex Queue, the Challenge Rewards, the XP Double, etc., all detailed in detail below.

Apex Elite Queue

Available from June 4th to July 2nd, Apex Elite Queue is essentially a special playlist that lists players and teams having finished in the top five of a match.

Anyone who finishes in the top five of a match will be able to line up in matches filled with other top five winners, greatly increasing the average skill level of the competition.

In the Elite queue, the ring closes faster and the damage that players suffer because of their ban has been increased.

Legendary hunt challenges and rewards

The Legendary Hunt event includes these special challenges in the game that will reward players with those exclusively available through this event.

• Legendary Hunt Badge – Finish in the top 5 in any match. Follow your longest series of Top 5 in the elite queue.
• Wolfpack G7 Scout Skin Rare Skin – Finish in the top 5 in an Apex Elite match.
• Skin Epic Master of the Bloodhound Hunt Hunt – Finish in the Top 5 in any queue five times (consecutive or not).
• Legendary Appearance of Tame Beast Triple Take Tiger – Earn twice in a queue (consecutive or not).

These challenges will be available from June 4th to 18th, after which the corresponding rewards will no longer be unlocked.

Double XP and XP Battle Pass bonus

Some XP promotions will be available to players throughout this limited time event, starting with a Double XP Weekend scheduled from Friday, June 7th at 10am (Paris time) to Monday, June 10th at 10am. AM PT / 13H00 ET / 18H00 HNR.

In addition, from June 4th to 18th, players in the Top 5 of each game are awarded a full level of Battle Pass once a day.
