New colour variations inbound? - February 10
Shrugtal, one of the Apex community's most reliable dataminers, has found hints at recolours coming in the next patch from the Iron Crown event.
What Is The Anniversary Collection Event?
Just like previous events, this is a special in-game event for players to celebrate their favourite battle royale game.
This one also has the privilege of celebrating the game's creation.
Special edition skins, items and collectables will be available for players to grab as well as LTMs.

Rewards
The reward for completing the collection not be a new Heirloom, rather you will receive 150 Heirloom Shards to purchase an existing one of your choosing.
The collection itself is rammed full of fan-favourite items, 24 in total, all of which have red and gold touches.
Players will be able to get 22 earnable items, including two Event Packs and ten Apex Packs.

- “Mozambique Here” Weapon Charm - deal 3,333 Damage with the Mozambique.
Locked And Loaded
The event will add the Locked and Loaded LTM as a takeover mode.
The LTM is actually set to go live a little later than the collection event at 6 PM GMT!
In this mode, you'll hit the ground with a full loadout of level 1 gear.
You’ll start with a Mozambique, White Shotgun Bolt, HCOG Classic Scope, White Evo Shield, White Helmet, White Backpack, White Incap Shield, two Syringes, two Shield Cells, and one stack of shotgun ammo.
All Common/White level attachments and equipment will also be removed from the loot pool (outside of Common scopes) during the takeover.

Wattson appears to be getting some form of recolor.
It looks like some weapons will also get a recolor...
