This is the outfit’s first appearance in the shop, so there is no past rotation history to fall back on. The Item Shop refreshes every day at 00:00 UTC, and no exit date for Areta the Vengeful is currently confirmed.
Dawning Apocalypse Bundle price and contents
Areta the Vengeful is sold on her own, but she also anchors a bundle alongside her cape and pickaxe. Here is how the individual listings line up.
| Item | Type | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Areta the Vengeful | Outfit | 1,000 V-Bucks |
| Areta’s War Cape | Back Bling | 300 V-Bucks |
| The Flame of Siege | Pickaxe | 800 V-Bucks |
| Dawning Apocalypse Bundle | Bundle | 2,400 V-Bucks |
Bought one by one, those three cosmetics come to 2,100 V-Bucks. The bundle lists at 2,400 V-Bucks, so check its contents panel in the shop before you commit — what you get beyond the outfit, cape, and pickaxe is what decides whether the bundle is the better buy for you.
Mask On and Mask Off styles
The outfit has two selectable styles. Mask On is the default, fully covered look. Mask Off removes the face covering and reveals the character’s face and pale hair underneath. Both are included with the base outfit, so there is nothing extra to unlock or buy.
The Flame of Siege pickaxe carries its own toggle for visual effects. Turning FX off strips the flame treatment for a plainer harvesting tool, which is worth knowing if the glow is distracting during close-quarters fights.
Style choices live in the Locker under the outfit’s Edit Styles menu, not in the Item Shop, so you can switch between Mask On and Mask Off at any point after buying.
How to buy Areta the Vengeful in the Item Shop
That Locker entry is the confirmation that the purchase went through. If the outfit is equipped, you will also see it on your character in the lobby and on Spawn Island before a match starts.
How the outfit looks in a match
Mask On gives you a fully armored silhouette, and the War Cape trails behind the model during sprints, slides, and drops. It stays readable at mid range around built-up areas such as Snobby Shoals, where the darker palette blends into building interiors more than open ground.
Switching to Mask Off and turning the pickaxe FX off produces a noticeably quieter loadout, which is the setup to use if you want fewer bright elements on screen while gliding into contested spots like Pleasant Park or pushing houses at Retail Row.
Since the shop rotates at 00:00 UTC every day, the safest move is to check the listing before the refresh rather than assuming the set will still be there tomorrow. Once it is in your Locker, both styles and the pickaxe FX toggle stay available permanently.
