Good news, Legends — grinding for 20 Apex Packs just got a whole lot easier.
According to trusted leaker @HYPERMYSTx, Respawn has officially lowered the community challenge requirement for the Power Sword event from a massive 2 billion damage down to 600 million. That means Players are now well over halfway to unlocking the top-tier reward, with over 113 million damage already tracked.
New Damage Milestones (Updated)
Here’s what the updated goals look like:
- Tier 1: 200 million damage
- Tier 2: 400 million damage
- Tier 3 (20 Apex Packs): 600 million damage
- Previously: 2 billion
This massive nerf to the challenge requirement is likely a direct response to community feedback. Players were worried that 2B damage was unachievable within the event’s timeframe — and honestly, they weren’t wrong.
What This Means for You
If you’ve been holding off on chasing this event, now’s the time to jump back in. The Power Sword community milestone is well within reach, and hitting 600 million damage will:
- Unlock 20 Apex Packs (if you complete your Week 2 challenges)
- Help push the entire playerbase toward their rewards
- Give you a chance to chip away at your heirloom shard goal
You’ll still need to complete your individual challenges in Week 2 to actually claim the packs, but the path is now clear.
A Smart Move by Respawn?
Let’s be real — this move is a win for everyone. The lowered damage goal keeps players motivated without forcing an impossible grind, and it adds value to the event without changing its structure.
Now we just need to see if the remaining Creator Commissioner events will get similar tuning.

Frequently Asked Questions about Power Sword Damage Challenge Update
What is the new damage goal for the Power Sword challenge?
The community damage goal was lowered from 2 billion to 600 million to unlock 20 Apex Packs.
How much damage has the community done so far?
As of the latest update, over 113 million damage has been dealt using the Power Sword.
Do I need to complete personal challenges to earn the Apex Packs?
Yes. After the community unlocks the milestone, you still need to complete five individual challenges in Week 2 to earn the packs.
Why did Respawn lower the damage goal?
The original goal of 2 billion damage was seen as too high. Lowering it makes the reward more achievable for the player base.
When does the Power Sword event end?
The event is ongoing. Week 2 begins after the current milestone window closes, where personal challenges will go live.
Will future events have easier milestones too?
It’s possible. Respawn may adjust future events based on community performance and feedback, just like they did with this one.
