You’re not going to believe it! The Heat Sink (or Heavy Metal) Flatline skin from Season 4 has indeed been one of the most sought-after and elusive skins in Apex Legends. Rumors about its return in a Collection event or some other form have been swirling for over a year. Now, with the arrival of Apex Legends Season 20, the Heat Sink Flatline is making a comeback – and the best part? It’s free!
That’s right, no need to spend a dime or buy 24 packs to snag this legendary skin. But, as expected, there’s a catch. Let’s explore how you can unlock the Reactive Flatline skin for free in Season 20.
Free Rewards in Apex Legends Breakout
The Heat Sink Flatline recolor is included in the Breakout Rewards collection for Apex Legends Season 20. This collection also includes a new legendary skin for Wraith, as well as matching banners and trackers, and a legendary sticker. To unlock these rewards, you’ll need to grind the game and complete specific challenges. Below, we’ve outlined what these challenges entail.
Wraith Legendary Skin
As is customary with Anniversary seasons, Respawn makes legends free-to-play and allows players to unlock them permanently if they meet certain requirements. For the 5th anniversary, legends such as Fuse, Seer, Rampart, Mad Maggie, Loba, and Valkyrie will be free-to-play, each with their own sets of challenges. Here are the dates when they’ll be unlocked:
- Seer: Unlocked on February 13
- Fuse: Unlocked on February 27
- Rampart: Unlocked on March 12
- Mad Maggie: Unlocked on March 26
- Loba: Unlocked on April 9
- Valkyrie: Unlocked on April 23
Each legend comes with its own set of challenges. If you successfully complete these challenges before the end of the season, you’ll have the legends unlocked forever. Additionally, completing these challenges will earn you the legendary Wraith skin.
Matching Wraith Banner Frame
Earning the matching banner frame for the legendary Wraith skin in Apex Legends Season 20 is relatively easy. All you need to do is grind the battle pass and earn all six featured banners. These banners can be unlocked at battle pass levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. Once you’ve reached level 60 and obtained all the featured banners, you’ll automatically receive the matching banner frame.
Legendary Sticker & Rare Trackers
In Apex Legends Season 20, Respawn is introducing a task that might seem confusing at first but is actually quite simple. They will provide free items that everyone can gift to their friends. To unlock the rare tracker set for Wraith, you’ll need to gift six of these qualified items to your friends. Additionally, completing this task will earn you a free ‘5th Anniversary’ legendary sticker.
Flatline Skin (Heat Sink Recolor)
To unlock the Reactive Flatline skin in Apex Legends Season 20, you’ll need to complete the three tasks mentioned earlier and claim the completion reward for each. Once you’ve done that, the new skin will be unlocked for you – and it’s all free.
It does require some grinding, like reaching battle pass level 60, finding friends to send gifts to, and more. However, for players like you who started a bit late (Season 5) but have been longing for the reactive Flatline skin, the reward is definitely worth it!
