Apex Legends dev explains why they haven\u2019t added more Kraber-like weapons \u2013 yet Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment have explained why Apex Legends is yet to receive more Care Package exclusive weapons like the Kraber sniper rifle. However, they refused to rule out more coming in a future season. The Kraber .50-Cal sniper has long been a discussion point in the Apex Legends community, mainly because it is the only weapon in the battle royale to have never been removed from the Care Package-only loot pool. In short, players cannot \u2013 and have never been able to \u2013 acquire it via any other means than the high-risk (but high-reward) Care Packages. In Season 14, it is joined in the category of Supply Drop weapons by the Mastiff Shotgun, Rampage LMG, and Bocek Bow. Apex Legends dev refuses to rule out further Care Package-only weapons While those may yet be changed back to regular ground loot, Respawn have refused to rule out the possibility of further Care Package-only weapons in a recent Reddit AMA. Although new ones in the immediate future sound unlikely, it\u2019s something the dev team refuses to take \u201coff the table\u201d. Asked by one player whether weapons will ever be specifically designed as Care Package exclusives, Senior Game Designer Eric Canavese said it\u2019s been \u201cprototyped\u201d but that it feels \u201cunderwhelming\u201d to limit a new gun to Supply Drops. He responded: \u201cIt\u2019s not completely off the table, and we\u2019ve definitely prototyped some care package only weapons- but ultimately with the amount of work it takes to build new and exciting weapons, limiting them to the care package feels underwhelming.\u201d The weapon suggested by the Redditor was the EPG-1 from Titanfall, an energy-propelled grenade launcher. \u201cI\u2019m not saying we won\u2019t ever do it,\u201d Canavese continued, \u201cbut when evaluating how we want to spend our dev time, weapons that can be cycled onto the floor are valued much higher because they can impact the meta in a more meaningful way as we continue to refine and balance the game.\u201d In short, Respawn are not ruling it out but, in terms of time, Care Package-only weapons are not the most efficient way of managing their title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
