How do you earn points during the Apex Legends Sun Squad Collection Event?

To earn points towards the Apex Legends Sun Squad Collection Event tracker, you need to complete the various challenges the game sets you. While the event is live, there will be a separate set of challenges linked to the event. Each one you complete unlocks a new one. For example, after dealing 500 damage for one challenge, we unlocked a new one to deal 1,500 more damage.

These challenges award 100 or 200 points depending on their difficulty. You can earn 1,600 points per day, meaning you could smash through the Sun Squad Collection Event tracker pretty quickly. However, there’s a separate set of challenges that are much harder.

What is the fastest way to earn points during the Sun Squad Collection Event?

The fastest way to earn points during the Apex Legends Sun Squad Collection Event is by playing a few rounds of Team Deathmatch followed by Heatwave. In Team Deathmatch, you’ll rack up all your matches completed, knockdowns, kills, assists, and other tasks that take too long in Battle Royale modes in which you rarely encounter other players. Move into Heatwave when you’ve completed a few easy challenges that are possible in any game mode before tackling ones revolving around ring closings and top 10 finishes. This will see you hit the cap of 1,600 points per day faster than you expect and grab every free cosmetic you can way before the event concludes.
