The Apex Legends Final Fantasy 7 Takeover event completely changes the way Apex is played. From new event packs to the new Buster Sword R2R5 melee weapon to materia gun hop-ups, there's a lot to take in. This article covers every materia type so you can always equip the best hop-up for your weapons in the FF7 Takeover event.
What is Materia in FF7?

For all purposes, materia in Final Fantasy functions much like gems and enchantments in many other RPGs, augmenting your gear with bonuses that impact your character's durability, damage output, and sometimes even unlock new abilities.
in Apex Legends' FF7 Takeover event, materia functions much the same in the form of a weapon hop-up.
All Materia Hop-ups in Apex Legends:
- Blue Materia: Dealing damage to enemies will heal you.
- Green Materia: Reloading an empty weapon will emit an electric nova, damaging and slowing nearby enemies, useful versus foes that are charging you with a Buster Sword!
- Purple Materia: Damage your deal has a small chance to critically strike for bonus damage.
- Red Materia: Summon a Nessie companion to attack your foes. It is as yet unclear as to how powerful this Nessie companion may be.
- Yellow Materia: True to the recon legend play style, Yellow Materia makes damaging an enemy reveal their exact remaining health.

How to Get Materia in Apex Legends:
Materia can be found sporadically as ground loot and event-limited Cactuar Ticks, as pictured above.
It is crucial to note which materia color is compatible with your chosen weapon, as not all guns are compatible with all materia hop-ups! Taking advantage of Cactuar Ticks may therefore be critical to ensure you find the perfect materia hop-up for your loadout.
