Apex Legends Godzilla Event: Start Date, Skins and Rewards

Apex Legends' Godzilla Event hits Storm Point on November 10, bringing new Legend skins, a heat-tracking Devotion, and a limited Twitch drop.

Godzilla is coming to the Outlands. Respawn and EA confirmed on November 5 that the Apex Legends | Godzilla Event runs from November 10 through December 1, turning Storm Point into a disaster zone and tying the crossover to the theatrical release of Godzilla Minus Zero. Here's exactly what changes on the map, what you can unlock, and when each reward window closes.

01When the Godzilla Event Starts

The event goes live Tuesday, November 10, and runs for three weeks until December 1. It's a free update for everyone who already plays Apex Legends on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2, or PC through the EA app, Epic Games Store, or Steam — no separate purchase is required to see the changes to Storm Point or pick up the free event track.

Respawn frames this as a Storm Point takeover rather than a brand-new limited-time mode: you'll drop into normal Battle Royale and Ranked matches and find the map itself rewritten around Godzilla's rampage. That puts this crossover in the middle of the Season 31: Cipher cycle, which launched its own patch notes and designer's notes in late October, so Storm Point is changing on top of whatever balance adjustments that season already shipped — not replacing them.

02Survive the Monster, or Become One

Storm Point is covered in the aftermath of a kaiju attack — damaged buildings, burnt trees, and fallen signage are scattered across the map while Godzilla looms in the distance. The official rundown describes recurring blast zones that light up shortly before Godzilla's Heat Ray comes down, and squads who push into one of those zones before the strike can loot a Care Package holding a custom Devotion LMG with a heat ray attack that tracks enemies on hit.

TipHold off entering a blast zone until the warning appears — jumping in too early just burns time waiting for Godzilla's Heat Ray with no guarantee another squad won't beat you to the Care Package.

It's a deliberate risk-reward loop: standing in a blast zone is dangerous, but it's currently the only confirmed way to pull the Heat Ray Devotion out of a match, and other squads will be racing you for it.

03The New Godzilla Event Pass

A dedicated Event Pass tracks your progress through challenges during the three-week window. Everyone who plays can earn a Tracker Set, badges, crafting metals, Event Packs, XP, and the Epic Octane skin "Jet Jaguar" for free.

Spending 950 Apex Coins unlocks the Premium Track on top of that, adding the Iconic Catalyst skin "Ghidorah 1991," the Legendary Prowler skin "Gravity Beam," an Epic P2020 skin, two Epic Apex Packs, a banner frame, stickers, and a second Tracker Set.

04Dorsal Dagger and the Full Godzilla Cosmetics List

The event's new universal melee weapon is the Dorsal Dagger, modeled on Godzilla's own dorsal fins. It's a possible drop from Godzilla Event Packs, and pulling it also unlocks a matching Death Box skin.

Ten new Legend skins pull from across the Godzilla film catalog rather than sticking to one era: Bloodhound gets "Godzilla 2026," Valkyrie gets "Mothra 2003," Wraith gets "Godzilla 2016," Pathfinder gets "Mechagodzilla 1974," Mad Maggie gets "Destoroyah," Loba gets "SpaceGodzilla," Horizon gets "Godzilla 1995," Revenant gets "Super Mechagodzilla 1993," Catalyst gets the Premium Track's "Ghidorah 1991," and Octane gets the free-track "Jet Jaguar." Ten matching legendary weapon skins also land on the Devotion, Hemlock, Rampage, CAR, Havoc, Longbow, Wingman, Prowler, Spitfire, and P2020.

05Twitch Drops: Free Rewards for Watching

From November 10 to 17, Respawn is running Twitch Drops through select creators. Watching an eligible Apex Legends stream for 30 minutes earns the Chibi Godzilla weapon charm, and 60 minutes earns the "Mothra's Milestones" Tracker Set. You'll need your EA account linked to your Twitch account for drops to register, and rewards show up in-game within 24 hours of your next login.

06What's Unconfirmed So Far

Respawn's announcement doesn't name a separate limited-time game mode alongside the Storm Point changes, and there's no word yet on whether the Heat Ray Devotion or Dorsal Dagger carry over into the permanent loot pool after December 1 — treat both as event-exclusive until Respawn says otherwise. The post also doesn't list a heirloom tied to this event, so if one exists, it hasn't been announced.

This isn't Apex Legends' first film or anime tie-in — Respawn has previously run crossover events built around properties like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Respawn hasn't said whether Storm Point's Godzilla damage is removed automatically once the event ends on December 1, so treat the map's current state as temporary but unconfirmed in duration beyond that date.
