In October every year, Apex Legends pulls something crazy out of thin air, and for this year, it’s not just about strange skins or scary maps. The Raise Hell event is finally launched, and it brings us chaos right away—fast, dark, and lively in the best ways possible. It’s the kind of event that makes players click why Apex still feels fresh, even after years of playing.
Launched from October 14 to November 4, 2025, Raise Hell brings the Outlands and tweaks them into a duel between Reapers and Demons. The developer tells you what to expect from the name—no mercy, no safety, just pure chaos. And of course, right in the middle of it, is Mad Maggie’s work. Because it’s only her, the Legend who belongs in a war between life and death.
A Mode That Burns the Rules
Respawn brought back Wildcard Trios, but this version doesn’t play by the old rules. The moment you drop in, you can feel it—faster reloads, heavier hits, sharper chaos. You pick a side: Reaper or Demon. Each side has its own ability that completely switches how you play.
Reapers have a movement that feels like they’ve got spirits in their veins—fast, fatal, and accurate. Demons? They don’t care about precision. They just keep shooting, fueled by life steal and sheer madness.
Don’t forget about the return of the Rev Shell Grenade—that creepy, deadly targeting weapon that haunts you like it’s holding grudges against you—and you get games that are fast, unpredictable, and booming from every side. This is Apex at its peak: dangerous, ridiculous, and somewhat unfair—the kind of mess that makes every win feel individual.
Kings Canyon Looked Terrifying
The map rework might be the real star here. We have seen Kings Canyon at night before, but it feels… more alive this time. Shadows appear between the walls, fog comes down through the canyons, and the feeling that there’s someone following you comes with every distant, thin sound. It’s not just spookier—it also makes you more nervous. You’ll find shining Nessies in hidden edges, unusual runes on rocks, and blinking lights that make you wonder, “Who is watching me?”
This Kings Canyon in this update isn’t just a battlefield—it’s a place to sense something. And that’s the field that Respawn masters. They don’t just build maps; they build moods.
The Rewards Hit Hard Too
There’s only one thing that comes to mind when we think of Halloween events in Apex: style. Players can collect up to 2,050 Pumpkins every day from daily quests and challenges and use them to buy items in the Reward Shop and Event Store.
And the skins? They’re ridiculous in the best way. Legends like Ash, Revenant, Fuse, Octane, Caustic, and Horizon all got new looks that lean hard into fire, vengeance, and darkness. But the crown jewel is Mad Maggie’s “Apex Warrior” Prestige Skin—a three-stage evolution that grows meaner and flashier the more you play. It’s a reward that actually feels earned, not just bought.
Every item, from weapon charms to banner frames, fits the theme perfectly—heavy, dramatic, and unapologetically wild. Respawn’s art team clearly had fun with this one.
Small Fixes, Big Difference
It’s not all about the visuals. Respawn slipped in a few solid updates under the hood: the Sentinel returns, Mirage’s EVO XP bug got fixed, and Maggie’s crash bug (how fitting) finally got squashed. Performance feels tighter, and matchmaking has been smoother than usual. For once, a Halloween patch didn’t bring new problems—it solved them.
Why Players Actually Care
What makes Raise Hell stand out isn’t just the theme—it’s the energy. You drop into that dark sky, hear the storm roll in, and suddenly the game feels fresh again. It’s not a side event; it’s a statement that Apex still knows how to surprise people.
The mix of nostalgia, chaos, and smart design gives the whole thing weight. You can tell Respawn built this one with players in mind, not just store sales. Every round has that “one more game” feeling—even when you’re the one getting deleted.
Raise Hell Before It Ends
At its core, this event is about defiance. It’s about saying, “I’ll fight one more time, even if death’s already waiting.” Careless, persistent, and somehow feel unbeatable—this is the kind of feeling that has been brought by Mad Maggie to us.
Players have the chance to get in, pick which side they are on, and feel the chaos before the lights go out from October 14 to November 4 this year. So, raise hell, because in Apex Legends, another reason to respawn stronger comes along with every death—because dying is never the end.
