Heatwave is in the new temporary mode Apex Legends as part of the Sun Squad Collection event. In this game mode, heat waves are regularly activated during the match, causing you to take damage from the sun. You have to go inside or take cover under objects to avoid the sun’s rays. If you’re outside during a heat wave, you can slide to cool off, or use a heat shield to beat the heat. There will also be unique items – such as sunglasses, which are available with grooming kits – that can help you mitigate the effects of the sun.
