Apex Legends Announce Crypto Town Takeover at EA Play Live Event
The rumours were true; Apex Legends is giving Crypto his very own Town Takeover for the Lost Treasures Collection Event!
Announced June 18 at the EA Play Live Event, Respawn devs revealed the new Collection Event and all of its amazing features.
Discover the new Crypto Town Takeover, take on the “Armed and Dangerous Evolved” limited-time mode, and unlock up to 24 spectacular items!
Limited Time Mode - Armed and Dangerous Evolved
Armed and Dangerous is back - with a twist. The much-loved limited-time mode, where the only guns available were snipers and shotguns, has returned. Only Evo Armour will be available, and you'll drop into the match wearing it.
Respawn Beacons will be removed for the game mode. Why? Because of the new item - the Mobile Respawn Beacon.

Once the beacon lands, it isn't locked to you, so make sure you use it fast - before an enemy swoops in and brings their teammate back instead.
If this seems like an item you'd love in all modes of Apex Legends - we have good news. Once the Collection Event is over, they will be added to the regular Apex Legends loot pool across both Public and Ranked matches.
The Lost Treasures Event Rewards
As with every Apex Collection Event, there are many treasures waiting to be unlocked.

Non-Event items can be from the following categories: Weapon Skins, Legend Skins, Legend Finishers, Banner Frames, Banner Poses, Banner Stat Trackers, Intro Quips, Kills Quips, Gun Charms or Crafting Metals.
Unlocking all 2-dozen Event cosmetics will unlock the ultimate prize - the Mirage Heirloom. And no, it's not a pork chop.
