Apex Legends War Games Event: New Game Modes Rewards Explained

War Games' third mode, Auto Banners, runs from April 19 to 21. This one is only a small change, removing the requirement of retrieving a teammate's banner from their death box.

Grenades are great in team fights, particularly when the enemies are all bunched up together.

This meme by Redditor Itami_Kirai is the perfect reminder of just how different the two robotic legends are.
