The Apex Legends Urban Assault event is coming our way, bringing with it the usual new batch of cosmetics and skins to choose from—including a toothy new Octane skin sure to please some of his fans.
True to its name, the Urban Assault cosmetics feature a high-tech streetwear theme. Think baseball hats, some Cyberpunk-esque glasses and masks, and crop tops—a whole lot of crop tops. Of course, Apex players who want all of the streetwear style will also be looking forward to Octane’s Apex Riptide prestige skin, whose different levels to unlock take Octane from a shark hunter to a hammerhead shark himself.
There’s also the return of the free prize track for far cheaper cosmetics. In addition, the Urban Assault event will bring with it the return of Three Strikes and introduce Apex Rumble, a tournament system for all players complete with a leaderboard to climb.

How to unlock Octane’s Apex Riptide prestige skin in Apex Legends
The Apex Riptide skin will be unlocked the same way that all previous prestige skins and legend-specific Heirlooms have been unlocked: unlocking all other skins in the event.
Once the Urban Assault event ends, Apex Riptide should end up going into the Mythic store, where you’ll be able to unlock it with Heirloom Shards. If you have previously earned Heirloom Shards you want to use to unlock the skin, you must wait for the event to end to do so.
