Apex Legends Aftershock Event Beginning March 31

It’ll be all about power later this month when Respawn Entertainment and EA’s Apex Legends kicks off its Aftershock Event beginning March 31.
Running from March 31 to April 21, Apex Legends’ Aftershock Event as part of 28.1 will equip everyone with a Vortex Shield.
On that note, players will be able to raise said Vortex Shield to catch incoming
bullets, then follow-up by releasing them back at enemies. Players will also be able to recharge their Vortex Shield by collecting EVO.
Apex Legends’ Aftershock Event will also let players tap into this power with the full-auto firing Hemlok Breach AR. Players can also tap into its Silencer and Breach Launcher – complete with new Breach Shot mode.
Finally, when it comes to Aftershock Event items, Apex Legends players can claim new Event cosmetics alongside Legend Skins for Wattson, Ash, Pathfinder, Horizon, Crypto, and Gibraltar.
