Horizon Heirloom – Gravity Maw
The Apex Legends Dressed to Kill Collection Event brings Horizon’s Heirloom, which is known as the Gravity Maw.

Dressed to Kill skins
The Dressed to Kill Collection Event also brings Legendary skins for Crypto, Revenant, Ash, Newcastle, Horizon, Loba, and Mad Maggie. Players will also be able to match these skins with Legendary weapon skins for the 30-30 Repeater, Nemesis, Mastiff, and Rampage.
You can get these cosmetics through Dressed to Kill Event Apex Packs or by crafting them with Crafting Metals.
The event will also feature a reward tracker which allows players to gain free cosmetics by earning Event Points through completing challenges.
