Apex Legends holo spray locations

Apex Legends holo spray symbols have started to pop up across both Olympus and Kings Canyon lately. Once you start the hidden “Invitation” challenge, there will be 3 holo sprays dotted about every match, and you must interact with 3 of them (across multiple matches if necessary) to complete the challenge.

The 3 holo spray locations are randomly picked from a fixed number of possible spawn points across both maps. Here are the possible holo spray locations on both maps:

Apex Legends “Invitation” passcode challenge walkthrough

The first step of this challenge is to play a match of Apex Legends, and find and open a Care Package. Usually these Care Packages just contain three pieces of valuable loot, but until the end of the Season they’ll also contain threecorrupted keycards. Pick up one of these keycards, then either quit out of the match or keep playing until you die or win.

Either way, once you’re back in the main menu, you’ll see the keycard at the bottom of your screen. Double click on it and a cryptic voice message will play:

You’ll also receive a new challenge called “Decrypt the Passcode”, tasking you with scanning three Passcode holo sprays in each map. Use the above maps to help with this.

For those who don’t wish to go through all the rigmarole of unlocking it for themselves, I understand. You can still see the teaser itself in the below video.

Pretty cool, eh?

Arena looks to be a new Apex Legends game mode arriving with Season 9 (also called the Legacy Update), and to most players it’s looking like some sort of small-scale team-vs-team deathmatch duelling mode fought on very small maps that are either points of interest on existing maps, or brand new areas specially crafted for the Arena.

“Impress Me” badge reward

Upon completing this holo spray challenge and playing through the above Season 9 trailer, you’ll be given a new “Impress Me” badge which you can place onto any Legend’s banner:

After Season 9 begins, this badge will turn into an Arena win streak badge. Everyone will get access to such a win streak badge, but completing the challenge will give your version of the badge a different look, setting you apart from the rest.
