Apex Legends players blast “Inner Recolor” Collection Event
EAThe Inner Beast Collection Event has been revealed, and just as soon as it was announced, fans ripped it to shreds.
Respawn Entertainment revealed a new collection event headed to Apex Legends, the Inner Beast Collection Event.
Falling in line with previous collection events, the upcoming event will feature a bevy of cosmetics to collect, a new mode, and an Heirloom upon collecting all the cosmetics.
Yet just as soon as the event was revealed, fans were shredding it to pieces for being another “recolor” event.

To hype up the new event, Respawn Entertainment showed what fans can expect with a trailer. The trailer shows off the new Hunt mode, Octane’s second Heirloom, and plenty of new skins.
However, fans took issue with the cosmetics on display with ample cries ripping into everything that was on display.
One fan’s remark caught plenty of traction for being a play on words: “Inner recolor event.”
Collection Events are always a topic of ire amongst the Apex Legends community, as each new event seemingly introduces new cosmetics that appear to be recolors of previous skins. The Inner Beast event in particular introduces Octane’s second Heirloom, a cause for concern amongst fans.
“Giving Octane a recolor while other characters don’t even have a heirloom yet is crazy also recolor skins really,” one fan said.
Other comments took issue with character-specific skins, such as Rampart and Bloodhound’s looking eerily similar to previous skins.
The Inner Beast Collection Event will go live in Apex Legends on Tuesday March 5, at 10 am PT | 1pm ET | 6pm GMT.
