The Apex Legends X Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth event features 5 different-colored Materia Hop-Ups, each delivering various effects when equipped. Players can use Materia Hop-Ups on all guns during the event, but only one can be fitted on a rifle at a time. Players can find them scattered across the map in the green Cactuar-themed loot ticks. Depending on which Materia Hop-Up a player equips, each provides a specific effect that provides an advantage during battle.

Effect: Damage enemies to see their current health
Guns Attached to: Sentinel, Charge Rifle, Rampage, Peacekeeper, R-99, and G7 Scout

The Yellow Materia Hop-Up in Apex Legends X FF7 Rebirth gives players a command or action when they equip it with a gun. This command in the Takeover event is Assess, which displays the enemy’s current health when they take damage. Players can use this effect to determine whether an enemy is a one-shot or not, ensuring they equip the right weapons to take them down.

Many players don’t consider this effect as helpful during battle because it gives no added advantage. However, it’s useful in assessing the other team’s health and helps with strategizing on the best course of action.

4 Green Materia Hop-Up

Emits A Shock Nova That Damages Nearby Enemies

The Green Materia Hop-Up is a crucial orb when engaging in a group battle with multiple enemies. When equipped, the orb emits a shock nova, which resembles lightning that deals damage to nearby enemies. The lightning also slows them down, allowing players to finish enemies off before they can recover and fire back.

It's important to note that the Green Materia only works when players reload an empty gun with the orb equipped. If players are ever surrounded by enemies and run out of ammo, they should use the Green Materia to defeat them instantly.

3 Red Materia Hop-Up

Summons An Ally To Attack Enemies

Players who equip their rifles with Red Materia Hop-Up get a companion called Nessie to aid them in combat. Nessie is a large creature of legend and lore who follows players everywhere while helping them take down enemies. When activated, Nessie pops up out of the ground with a Buster Sword in hand and will charge and attack once a player starts firing at the foe.

Players should note that enemies can shoot and kill Nessie, so it’s wise to continue attacking them until they’re defeated. Nessies can also heal players when petted, which makes them highly invaluable.

The Blue Materia Hop-Up in Apex Legends X FF7 Rebirth acts as a healing absorption orb, which heals a player every time they deal damage to an enemy. With each hit the enemy takes, the player’s health bar increases, ensuring they survive matches.

The Takeover event is highly competitive, and players can quickly die if they’re not prepared for battle. Luckily, every little bit of healing a player can get can make a huge difference in winning. So, it’s crucial to pick up as many Blue Materia Hop-Ups as possible to heal when engaging with enemies.

The Purple Materia Hop-Up enhances the damage of critical shots when equipped. For instance, if a player uses a sniper rifle fitted with the Purple Materia Hop-Up and delivers a headshot, it will deal more damage to the enemy. Players can use the Purple Materia Hop-Up to annihilate opponents and take them down from a long range.

They can also use it to create openings for battle engagements, which allows players to push in and finally land winning shots. The Purple Materia is one of the best Hop-Ups players can obtain, especially if they want to claim match victories.
