The Apex Legends and FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH event unites two gaming legends, inviting squads to defy fate from January 9-30, 2024. Get ready, join in, and let the adventure begin.

New: Final Fantasy VII Takeover

Worlds collide in our new BR Takeover, with content that will be all too familiar to Final Fantasy VII fans. Harness the power of the Buster Sword R2R5, which has in-game abilities that can be picked up and used as a weapon during the takeover. Gain light and heavy attacks, block to reduce damage taken, dash to close the gap, and fill up your meter to use the classic Limit Break. The more damage you deal, take, and block, the faster your meter fills up. If you don’t find the popular Buster Sword R2R5 when it drops, keep an eye out for them in care packs and around the map.

When you’re looking for the ultimate weapon, look for material jumps to gain enhanced effects and/or bonuses. Each Materia Hop-Up has its own effects and can only be connected to the selected weapon, and can be spawned in world and campaign-limited Cactuar Ticks!
