Tired of running around Apex Legends in a Street Fighter costume? Maybe you'd rather embrace something a little more supernatural this Halloween season. Well, Respawn's battle royale has you covered with its Blood Pact event, and it's asking you to pick a side: beast or demon.
That's right — Blood Pact is the game's Halloween-themed celebration, and it's handing players a dose of supernatural power to play with. Instead of just dressing up, you're getting actual abilities tied to your chosen faction. Think of it as a costume party where the costume comes with teeth (or horns, depending on your vibe).
So what's the deal? Blood Pact gives you the choice between siding with beasts or demons, and each path comes with its own flavor of otherworldly strength. On top of the gameplay twist, there are thematic goodies to earn while the event runs — because no Halloween event is complete without some spooky cosmetics to show off.
If you've been lukewarm on the recent crossover skins, this is a nice change of pace. Rather than borrowing someone else's identity, you're leaning into Apex's own darker corners. Beasts and demons fit the game's gritty sci-fi-meets-fantasy aesthetic pretty naturally, and giving players a faction choice adds a bit of that "pick your poison" tension that makes limited-time events fun.
It's also a smart way to shake up the usual routine. Battle royales live and die on variety, and a Halloween event that changes how you think about your loadout — even temporarily — is exactly the kind of thing that pulls lapsed players back in. Whether you go full monster or full demon, you're getting a fresh way to play the modes you already know.
The big question is which side suits your playstyle. Beasts tend to suggest raw, aggressive power, while demons carry a more sinister, tactical edge — though you'll want to jump in and see how each faction actually feels before committing. Either way, there's themed loot on the line, so it pays to experiment.
Halloween events have become a staple for live-service shooters, and Apex is clearly not sitting this one out. Blood Pact leans into the spooky season with a concept that's simple to grasp but gives you something to actually do beyond grinding the same old matches. Supernatural powers plus exclusive rewards? That's a solid recipe for a limited-time event.
So, which are you picking — beast or demon? And are you diving into Blood Pact for the powers, the goodies, or both? Let us know in the comments.
