Season 26 is shaping up to be one of Apex Legends’ most chaotic updates ever — and we mean that literally. According to new Leaks, a brand-new limited-time mode (LTM) called “Unhinged” is coming to the game, and it’s bringing fast-paced mayhem, evolving weapons, and jackpot loot drops that could flip the meta on its head.
Here’s everything you need to know about Unhinged, the leaked Season 26 LTM.
🔥 What Is Unhinged?
Unhinged is exactly what it sounds like — a chaotic, high-Octane mode that blends the best parts of Control, Escalation, and 3-Strike revives with some completely unhinged mechanics you’ve never seen before.
Think: mythic-tier loot raining from the sky, evolving weapons that grow stronger with every fight, and yes — you can literally throw weapons and gear at your enemies.
This mode is designed for pure action. Frequent fights, rapid upgrades, and a constantly evolving loot system make every match unpredictable and explosive.
📦 Jackpot Loot & Airdrops
Unhinged features special airdrops packed with high-tier gear that drop frequently across the map. But the real twist? Even standard loot bins can surprise you.
Jackpot Loot Bins:
- After 1.5 seconds, unopened bins can spawn jackpot rewards
- Potential loot includes:
- Mythic Flatline
- Bat Heirloom (baseball bat)
- Evo Shield Upgrades
The longer you don’t touch a bin, the bigger the reward — high risk, high reward.
🆙 Evo Weapon System – Your Gun Evolves With You
Unhinged introduces an entirely new Evo WeaponSystem. Instead of just finding attachments, your weapon evolves as you deal damage, gaining new tiers and power boosts.
You’ll need to manually evolve the weapon by pressing a button when a damage threshold is hit.
Evo Weapon Tiers:
- Level 0 → 1 = 100 damage
- Level 1 → 2 = 150 damage
- Level 2 → 3 = 225 damage
- Level 3 → 4 = 275 damage
- Level 4 → Final = 350 damage
And yes, these evo weapons include special mythics like the Flatline and the bat heirloom, unique to this mode.
🛠️ Static Stations – Boost Your Evo Progress
Up to 15 static stations will spawn per match. While not fully confirmed, it’s believed these stations allow you to:
- Boost evo weapon XP
- Possibly craft bonuses or complete actions to accelerate weapon evolution
This adds a strategic layer for squads who want to power up early and snowball fights.
💀 Revives & Respawns – Stay in the Fight Longer
Unhinged is forgiving… but only for a while.
Respawn System:
- If at least one squadmate survives, you’ll respawn once your individual timer runs out
- Respawn time increases each round
- You can earn evo points to reduce your teammates’ respawn timers
- Respawns shut off completely in round 5
It’s a blend of 3-strike rules and squad survival — rewarding tight coordination and smart fights.
🗺️ The Map – Welcome Back to Relic
The mode will be played on Relic, but with a twist. The map is still being worked on, and it’s expected to have modified features or new layouts to match Unhinged’s wild pacing and loot style.
This map will be built specifically to keep Players close together, rotating through hot zones, and constantly fighting.
⚔️ Summary: A Perfect Mix of Mayhem
Here’s what makes Unhinged stand out:
- 🎯 Evolving weapons that scale with your skill
- 💣 Airdrop escalation with mythic loot like the Bat Heirloom and Flatline
- 🔄 Jackpot loot bins that reward timing and risk
- 🛠️ Static stations for bonus upgrades
- ⚡ Respawns tied to squad survival
- 🎮 Map: Relic (Work-in-progress rework)
This LTM isn’t just another one-off — it could be a testing ground for future features, like evolving guns, alternative revive systems, or loot economy overhauls.
