Apex Legends x Godzilla Hands-On: The Heat Ray Erases Strong Positions
A Game Spark hands-on preview of the Apex Legends x Godzilla collaboration describes a mode called Wildcard where the map is set as destroyed by Godzilla and he is already present.

Why it matters
The preview frames the collaboration as a deliberate break from battle royale logic, where a single heat ray can erase a team holding an ideal endgame building, and the draw is that unreasonableness rather than balanced competition.
Key Facts
- The Apex Legends x Godzilla collaboration mode is called Wildcard.
- In Wildcard, the map is set as destroyed by Godzilla, and Godzilla is already present on it.
- After players drop and time passes, Godzilla reappears and fires his heat ray at random or at targets locked by the collaboration weapon Heat Ray.
- The in-game UI displays that the player is being targeted by Godzilla.
- A direct hit from the heat ray deals massive damage, and a dedicated kill log appears when Godzilla finishes a player.
After players drop and time passes, Godzilla reappears and fires his heat ray, sometimes at a target locked by the collaboration weapon Heat Ray. The preview reports a UI warning that you are being targeted by Godzilla, near-certain death on a direct hit, and a dedicated kill log.
The mode is called Wildcard, and the map is set as already destroyed by Godzilla before anyone lands. Godzilla is on the map from the start, and after a set time following the drop he reappears and fires at random or at whoever the Heat Ray weapon has locked.
The preview's clearest moment is a lost match: a team holds an ideal building toward the endgame, then the heat ray hits it directly and the squad is gone before anyone can move. A direct hit deals massive damage, and the writer says armor and Legend abilities count for little against it. A dedicated kill log appears when Godzilla finishes a player.
