For those who are unaware of what Apex Legends’ Flashpoint LTM is, here are all the details including its return and how to play.
What is the Flashpoint LTM?
Flashpoint is an LTM in Apex Legends which sees all healable items removed from the game’s loot pool. Instead, players must reach “Flashpoint Zones,” which look like huge blue domes of energy on the map.
Within these domes, players will regenerate health and shields over time, but as this is the only way to do so in this mode, you may have to put up a fight in order to survive and heal up.
There are multiple Flashpoint zones on the map, however, so perhaps it’s best to relocate if one is too busy.
When is Flashpoint available?
Flashpoint will be available for players to enjoy when the Unshackled Event drops on April 19. The mode will be playable for two weeks until the event ends on May 3.
According to the EA blog, there will only be one map available for this LTM, which is Olympus. If players wish to play another mode or map, this is just an LTM and all the other modes usually available will still be there for players.
How does the Flashpoint LTM work?
According to Mark Yampolsky, Apex Legends systems designer, several “Flash Points” are scattered throughout King’s Canyon. These Flash Points regenerates players’ health and shields over time. It is quite similar to how Lifeline D.O.C drone heals up a player. However, it will be a lot faster.
“Flash Points are special because they regenerate your health and shields over time to get you healed and ready for combat in a flash,” said Yampolsky. Though, there is one catch on this game mode.
All squads will be sharing on the Flashpoints around the map. This means that many of the fights will happen on the Flash Points or near the area. Expect a free-for-all deathmatch fights around the map. Yampolsky added that this game mode “evokes some of our favorite classic first-person shooters.”
As mentioned earlier, this game mode takes a cue from the “Always be Closing” LTM. From the start, the ring closes to the final circle. This makes team fights more intense as players may rotate to the end zone during the early game.
The Apex Legends Flashpoint LTM gives a breath of fresh air to the game. The season 6 ranked split just started and this game mode gives players a much-needed break.

kins. These will be available in the new Unshackled packs that guarantee you one non-duplicate Thematic Event item.
It’s worth noting the Unshackled cosmetics will be featured in the standard pack pool and will be available to create with crafting metals at a higher price.
Not only that, if you’d prefer to purchase Unshackled cosmetics with Apex Coins, a number of the skins will be available to unlock in the store.
Here’s the Unshackled store in Apex Legends.
As shown above, there will be two separate storefronts over the course of the event, so if you’re looking for a specific skin, it might be worth waiting for it to become available.
Apex Legends Unshackled Flashpoint LTM
The Flashpoint LTM is returning in Apex Legends.
Although the majority of thematic events only include cosmetics and no in-game content, Unshackled will be slightly different. On top of the new skins, the Flashpoint game mode will be returning, but this time on Olympus.
Completely replacing healing items, players will need to head to the huge blue domes called Flashpoints scattered across the map to regenerate health and shields.
This adds a new dynamic to the match and it’s worth remembering, that the final circle will always end on a Flashpoint, so be prepared.
Apex Legends Unshackled prize trackers
Similar to the Dark Depths thematic event, Unshackled will have multiple prize trackers that last for one week each during the 14-day event. That way, players will be consistently earning new rewards and will always have a reason to dive down into the Outlands.
Apex Legends’ Aftermarket event
Caustic’s heirloom: Death Hammer
Apex‘s latest event also brings in a new heirloom, this time for the mad scientist himself. Caustic’s melee weapon skin is called Death Hammer, which is unsettlingly appropriate for the legend.
The heirloom is available once players finish the 24 cosmetics in the Aftermarket collection. After the event ends, it will move to the heirloom shop, where players can spend heirloom shards to pick a set of their choice. Heirlooms are the rarest items in Apex, however.
Crossplay beta
The latest patch is finally delivering the long-anticipated crossplay. The feature is still in beta but will allow console players to matchmake with each other across all platforms, albeit on some conditions.
Users can party up with their friends on all supported platforms—Origin, Xbox, PlayStation 4, and eventually Steam—and use voice chat as normal. Console players will face off against other console players regardless of the platform, but PC users will only be paired with other PC users to “ensure that keyboard and mouse PC players are not being matched against console players.”
Balancing adjustments
Aftermarket is bringing more than new cosmetics or a limited-time mode. As usual, Respawn took the opportunity to deploy a handful of significant gameplay changes—including buffs to Pathfinder and Loba, as well as nerfs to Wraith and Bloodhound.
Pathfinder
Aftermarket overhauled Pathfinder’s tactical ability and brought in some necessary tweaks to his kit. The cooldown on Pathfinder’s grappling hook now varies based on distance traveled instead of a flat 35-second delay.
Loba
The next legend in line for buffs, Loba received a few tweaks to her Black Market Boutique. The ultimate now has greatly increased range and can steal loot from approximately 45 percent further away. Loba also starts a match with her ultimate half-full to make it easier to grab valuable items in the early parts of a game.
Wraith
Respawn took a different approach to balancing Wraith in Aftermarket. Instead of tweaking her kit, the developers decided to change the way she moves—more specifically, her running animations. Wraith’s old hunched-over sprint made her harder to hit, which compounds on her already small hitbox.
Bloodhound
Bloodhound’s kit also saw adjustments with the latest patch. The cooldown on their tactical increased to eight seconds (from six) when used during their ultimate to make it less oppressive. The delay outside of Beast of the Hunt remains the same, however.
Flashpoint was a game mode that took place during the. Aftermarket Collection Event. Flashpoint may also refer to: Legend skins. A Wraith skin Weapon skins.
Availability: Requires ‘Vengeance Seeker’ and 10500 Legend Tokens to craft. This skin was first seen in the Apex Item Store during June of 2019. It returned to the store in March of 2021.
Apex Legends Season 12 Defiance is arriving on Tuesday 8th February 2022 and we have all the details around a new Limited Game Mode (LTM) coming to the game called Control. The game has been a lot of fun in Season 11 and many in the gaming community have been loving the new content the developers brought to Apex.
Apex Legends has a few different permanent game modes, these being Battle Royale, Ranked Leagues (Ranked Battle Royale), Arenas, and Ranked Arenas. That said, there are also a lot of Limited Time Modes, or LTMs, that bring certain modes to Apex Legends for a few days or a few weeks.
