Dressed to Kill is the newest event in Apex Legends, taking place from June 20 to July 4. And like pretty much every event in the game, it comes fully loaded with new skins and cosmetics for players to try out.
This time around, the cosmetics on offer follow an assassin-type theme, with many of the game’s characters getting Legendary skins that style them like hitmen in various shapes and sizes. From futuristic robot to brutal android mercenary to a sharply dressed contract killer that wouldn’t look out of place in a James Bond film, the skins on offer run the gamut of people that may eliminate other people for money.
For my tastes, I think the design of the collection is executed beautifully and represents a theme that’s been touched on with some of Apex‘s previous cosmetics, but never fully explored like this. I also love that there are no recolors shown off in the trailer for the event. The Apex community has been quite clear that seeing events consist of a bunch of recolored skins sold at full price isn’t what we want, and it’s good to see the devs taking that feedback to heart.
For those players who unlock all of the event’s skin, there’s a prize waiting for them at the end: Gravity Maw, the new Horizon Heirloom that lets players wield a futuristic mace.
In my mind, the event represents some of the best cosmetics that Respawn has added to Apex in quite a while. If you’re curious about all the skins you can find in it, simply read on, you legend.

Horizon Heirloom – Gravity Maw
The Gravity Maw looks great in image form, but it really shines when you get to see some of the cooler animations that it’s packing. I love how none of the head of the mace is physically connected, but tied together by… the power of gravity? Whatever it is, it looks cool.
