The Apex Legends X Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Event Buster Sword

The Apex Legends X Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Crossover Event is in full swing, with FFVII themed skins, the unique One Winged Angel Death Box, and the fan favorite, the Buster Sword.

This huge sword proved that a melee weapon might just be the boost that Apex Legends needed. Now, the question on everyone's mind is:

How do I get the Apex Legends Buster Sword?

Players can find the Buster Sword on the map through a red beam, and it is also included in Neutral Care Packages. Defeated opponents drop the Buster Sword on the ground, providing an opportunity for others to pick it up instantly. ou can find multiple buster swords on the map, so you can even equip an entire squad wielding these powerful weapons!

Apex Legends Final Fantasy

The Buster Sword's impact has been shown in various video clips shared online, where players outclass conventional ranged weapons in terms of damage output.

Despite the initial skepticism about bringing a sword to a gunfight, players have already realized that the Buster Sword isn’t just a toy for an event; it stands out for its ability to dispatch opponents quickly and efficiently. In one clip, a player takes down a fully armored opponent with three hits!

The controls for the Buster Sword are simple, both for mouse and keyboard users and controller users. The weapon takes up one slot, offering players a considerable power boost. A single heavy swing inflicts 60 damage, while a quicker light attack deals 25 damage. The Buster Sword also features a launch move, allowing players to close the gap between them and their ranged opponents. A “block” function is available, which also allows you to dash. You can activate the most powerful ability, the Limit Break, by pressing the B key on the keyboard or the left D-pad on a controller. This ability not only takes all other abilities off cooldown but also grants increased speed and damage reduction.

The Limit Break Gauge revolutionizes Apex Legends weapons by resetting cooldowns, boosting speed, and reducing damage. This makes the Buster Sword a versatile and powerful weapon in the hands of skilled players.

While players are already calling the Buster Sword "overpowered," a stat adjustment by Respawn could make it a great permanent addition to the game.

Some of the most popular Legends in the Apex Games are more mobile or sneaky, so having a strong melee weapon could change the meta and dynamics of the game, creating new strategy possibilities for players who are more inclined to fight in melee range instead of shooting.

Apex Legends FFVII Buster Sword

As the first Apex Legends event of 2024 develops, the community is wondering if this kind of boost to the game's arsenal could be the future. New weapons that increase the versatility of strategies for players are always welcome, so maybe Respawn Entertainment will grace us with more amazing features like the Buster Sword.
