Apex Legends L-STAR secret buff discovered from Season 5 update Respawn EnetrtainmentApex Legends players have been hard at work testing all of the weapons and items since the game\u2019s Season 5 update, and there appears to have been a strange discovery regarding the L-STAR. The game\u2019s developers, Respawn Entertainment, are always on hand with patch notes following the biggest patches, although some members of the community are curious as to why the energy Light Machine Gun has been given a huge buff. Even in the most recent patch, on May 27, only the Mastiff was mentioned in the update details, with the spawn rate being lowered. At the beginning of Season 4, it was thought that the L-STAR had become one of the most powerful weapons available, but that didn\u2019t last long as players became frustrated with how much light the gun emits when firing. That, and its absurd recoil at times. However, YouTuber DistinctGamer101 has found an interesting tweak that\u2019s been made to the weapon \u2013 intentionally or accidentally \u2013 that might encourage those who used to play with it to give it another try. DistrictGamer101 claims that a few guns have been made easier to use on ziplines, including the R-99, but the L-STAR in particular is \u201c100% accuracy\u201d in the air. This includes firing from ziplines, Launch Pads, and when in the air \u2013 he says. As seen in the video, the weapon \u2013 compared to what it was last season \u2013 looks significantly more accurate when moving at speed, i.e. in the air. \u201cNo weapons are 100% accurate except for one and that is the L-STAR,\u201d he said, following some testing with different guns. \u201cThe L-STAR seemed to provide really accurate results from my testing, while I was jumping in the air, or while I was using a Launch Pad \u2013 even if I was on a zipline. I could hit my shots dead on every time.\u201d They also added that practice makes perfect with it, of course, but claims it can \u201cmelt\u201d opponents \u2013 using the frame destroying qualities of the LMG to the user\u2019s advantage. This will definitely be an advantage for those who are capable of this high-octane style of play, but may be a buff that\u2019s actually quite difficult to exploit for beginners. Nevertheless, if there has been a tweak such as this made in-game without reference in the patch notes, it remains to be seen if even more have been implemented \u2013 accidentally, or otherwise. The only way to find out, really, is keep dropping in and experiment. Who knows, maybe you will find the next big thing the playerbase didn\u2019t know had been changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
