The following legendary legend skins have been confirmed for the rotation:

In addition to the character cosmetics the February 24 update will include a variety of legendary weapon skins and universal banner frames. These items were originally part of the 5th anniversary prize track and collection event.

  • Marvel of Mayhem Volt SMG: A high tier legendary skin with intricate gold and black detailing.
  • Camo Grey Sentinel: A tactical legendary sniper skin featuring a digital camouflage pattern.
  • Retro Green 30-30 Repeater: A vintage styled legendary skin for the heavy marksman rifle.

February 24 legendary recolors

Players looking to refresh their collections with alternative styles for classic cosmetics will find a robust selection of recolors starting February 24. These legendary variants often provide a more aggressive or prestige-focused aesthetic compared to their original counterparts. The “Ultra Legend” skin for Valkyrie, for instance, offers a vibrant, high-contrast palette that stands out in the skies of Olympus, while Bloodhound’s “Radiant Stalker” provides a striking neon-infused look for the master tracker.

On the weaponry front, the “Repeatron” for the 30-30 Repeater and the “Bloody Bandage” for the G7 Scout bring a gritty, battle-worn feel to the long-range meta. These items are typically available for Apex Coins, though those who already own the base legendary skin can frequently unlock the recolor using Legend Tokens.

Upcoming mid-March collaboration leak

The broader competitive community is also buzzing with anticipation for a major collaboration slated for mid-March 2026. While Respawn usually keeps partnership details under tight lock and key until the start of the month, multiple high-credibility leaks suggest that a crossover with either the Gundam or Star Wars franchise is 100% confirmed.

The timing aligns perfectly with the end of the 7th-anniversary celebrations, and the “Breach” theme of Season 28 has already fueled speculation about sci-fi-heavy designs. Specifically, data miners have uncovered assets referencing “plasma blade” animations and futuristic mechanical plating, leading many to believe that Star Wars is the most likely candidate for the mid-season event. If the Star Wars collaboration pans out, players can likely expect Mythic-tier melee skins or iconic character-inspired legendary outfits.
