As part of this Winter Wipeout Event in Apex Legends: Amped, players can now drop into Wildcard and shred Olympus with new Hoverboards. On that note, Legends are now able to carve across cover, wall-ride out of danger, and throw down tricks mid-air.

This Winter Wipeout Event for Apex Legends: Amped also features the following Legend Meta Updates:

Octane heals faster with low health and gains access to Stim Surge, a new protective ability that only triggers on low health.

Crypto enhances his recon game with expanded vision from his Surveillance Drone, faster deployment, and quicker switching. 

Finally, Newcastle dominates holding down the line as his Mobile Shield now increases in speed and has a shorter cooldown, while his Castle Wall now blocks more incoming projectiles. 

Catch up on all the nitty-gritty via the official patch notes, and see the Winter Wipeout Event for yourself with the Apex Legends: Amped trailer below:
