It's been a busy day in the gaming world and that includes more than what's being shown off at PAX East today. Over a little closer to home, Apex Legends is preparing for its next big event, set to begin next week. Respawn unveiled what's next for their battle royale earlier today, offering a first look at the System Override Collection Event.

The System Override Collection Event will be headlined by an all-new game mode called Deja Loot. Deja vu is the phenomenon where one feels like they've already experienced something previously and Deja Loot will work similarly.

Deja vu is not to be confused with repetitiveness.

Apex Legends - System Override

Anyway, there's a system glitch out in the world and as a result, all loot in Deja Loot will respawn at the same location throughout the System Override Collection Event, while the Ring location will change daily. Deja Loot is set to begin on World's Edge for the first week before heading to King's Canyon.

To prep for Deja Loot excursions, players are receiving a new equipment item called the Evo Shield. The Evo Shield will grow stronger as players inflict more damage on non-downed players. The Evo Shield's progress will carry over, even if its holder has died, so if it gets picked up in the late game, it could come in handy. The Evo Shield is only available in Deja Loot, but Respawn will be monitoring the action and is considering extending it to all game modes in the future.

Other things to look out for with this upcoming event include 24 Assimilation-themed cosmetic Apex Packs, which include new legendary character and weapon skins. Anyone who's able to collect them all will also receive the Octane Heirloom set for no extra charge.

Apex Legends' System Override Collection Event is set to begin on March 3 and will last for two weeks. The Apex Legends website will have more information.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
