Here are all of the details on the Apex Legends Dressed to Kill Collection Event which has arrived in Season 17, including Horizon’s Heirloom, the cosmetics in the collection, and the full patch notes with balance changes.

Apex Legends Season 17 has already provided players with a lot of new content, from an overhauled Firing Range to the new Legend, Ballistic.

Despite the new content, Respawn aims to keep players entertained throughout the season with plenty of updates and events. Collection Events are the battle royale’s most illustrious, as they come with the most content from LTMs and balance changes to new skins and an Heirloom or Prestige skin.

Season 17 brings the Dressed to Kill Collection Event, so here are all of the details you need to know about the Collection Event, including the full patch notes and Horizon Heirloom.

Apex Legends Dressed to Kill Collection Event release date

The Apex Legends Dressed to Kill Collection Event is now live as of June 20, 2023. The event will run all the way until July 4, giving players two weeks to enjoy the event and unlock all of the cosmetics they want.

The update also brings the return of the Armed and Dangerous LTM as well as some interesting buffs and nerfs in the patch notes which we have detailed below.

Apex Legends Dressed to Kill event Heirloom & skins

Horizon Heirloom – Gravity Maw

The Apex Legends Dressed to Kill Collection Event brings Horizon’s Heirloom, which is known as the Gravity Maw.

This Heirloom has a pretty slick design and is reminiscent of a Morning Star, a medieval mace weapon. As always, the Collection Event brings 24 cosmetics and if you unlock them all, you will automatically receive Horizon’s Heirloom.

Dressed to Kill skins

The Dressed to Kill Collection Event also brings Legendary skins for Crypto, Revenant, Ash, Newcastle, Horizon, Loba, and Mad Maggie. Players will also be able to match these skins with Legendary weapon skins for the 30-30 Repeater, Nemesis, Mastiff, and Rampage.

You can get these cosmetics through Dressed to Kill Event Apex Packs or by crafting them with Crafting Metals.

The event will also feature a reward tracker which allows players to gain free cosmetics by earning Event Points through completing challenges.
