What Apex Legends Hardcore Mode is About?

As previously stated, the event comes with a new game mode called Hardcore Royale. This mode ramps up the intensity with a twist on the classic Trios Battle Royale, stripping players of the luxuries of armor and helmets.

In Hardcore Royale, players are armed with nothing but White Armor, with no option to upgrade or swap it out. This means every shot counts and precision is key to staying alive. But fear not, the lack of helmets also makes taking down enemies with a well-placed sniper shot even more satisfying. 

Additionally, the mini-map has been scaled down, so players need to be more aware of their surroundings. The Ring, which is already a significant risk in Apex Legends, is even more dangerous as it starts at maximum power from the beginning of the match, so players should pick a route that keeps them at a safe distance from it.

It’s worth noting that to access this mode, players must have Accounts Level 20 or above. Regular trios will still be available during the event, and more Limited Time Modes are on the way after the Collection event. So are you ready to test your skills and see if you have what it takes to come out on top in Hardcore Royale?
