Cosmetic Events in *Apex Legends Mobile* tend to fall into three categories:

### Store Vault

During a Store Vault event, players can spend  140 to attempt to obtain an event item from the loot pool. Duplicate items are converted into Store Vault Tokens, which can be redeemed for event cosmetics. After opening the box a certain amount of times, the player can unlock milestone rewards

#### Store Vault Events

* Mecha Strike Go!
* Rhapsody's Underground
* Future Wave
* Awoken Nightmares
* Royal Regiment

### Arsenal Drop

During an Arsenal Drop, also known as a Versus Drop, a player can spend  45 to obtain an item at random. A row will be selected, with each row having a different probability. Duplicate items cannot be obtained.

#### Arsenal Drop Events

* Heat Wave
* Glacial Games
* Demolition Crew
* Neon Rebellion
* Infernal Rager
* Nightclub Icons
* Digital Bliss Fest
* Shipwrecked
* Secrets of the Tomb

### Phase Heist

During a Phase Heist, players can spend  30 to obtain a random reward from the loot pool. If a Coordinates Chip is obtained, the player will be rewarded a cosmetic from the Phase Vault loot pool.

#### Phase Heist Events

* Golden Geometry
* Frontline Battalion
* Pythas Error Control
* Party Animal
* Divinity's Blessing

## Trivia

* Fight or Fright and  Holo-Day Bash are the only major events that return. They both were initially released as Collection Events and came back as Themed Events.
* The song used in the  War Games trailer is sang by Fuse's voice actor, Ben Prendergast.
* According to the official event structure overview released back in  Season 2, possible extensions to *Apex Legends'* lore is a feature of Themed Events. However, as of  Season 7, this appears to be no longer the case since the  Fight Night event, a Collection Event, came with a Story from the Outlands.
* Events are sometimes further categorized beyond Themed and Collection:  Grand Soirée is also called an **Arcade Event**;  The Old Ways is also called a **Lore Event**. (By this logic,  Voidwalker and  Fight Night should also be Lore Events.)
* The Battle Armor event was not a planned event. It was a last-minute addition after the launch of  Season 5 got moved back one week.
* Some events come with a special event-themed  Music Pack. There are some exceptions.
	+ Grand Soirée,  Fight Night,  Anniversary, and  War Games never got their own music packs.
	+ The returning Event  Holo-Day Bash (2020) had no "new" music pack, but had the same as the original  Holo-Day Bash (2019) Christmas-themed music pack.
		- However, the other returning Event  Fight or Fright (2020) had an own music pack and did not share the same with  Fight or Fright (2019).
	+ Voidwalker had no Music Pack of its own, but "shared" and released the music pack of Wraith.
	+ Legendary Hunt had its own themed music, but it was not rewarded as a selectable music pack because Music Packs didn't exist in  Season 1.

## Notes

1. ↑ This event actually began on the 8th, but was suddenly postponed to the 10th after **DUMMIEs Big Day** was removed due to a bug that caused the entire server to crash if someone AFK’ed on character select. It was replaced with **Kings Canyon After Dark** on September 10th, with DUMMIEs Big Day eventually returning on September 22nd.
