Apex Legends leak reveals upcoming epic skin for unreleased Volt SMG Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends gets a new weapon every season, and this season\u2019s expected weapon, the Volt LMG, has already had an epic skin leaked by dataminers. For months now, Apex Legends leaks have suggested that Titanfall 2\u2019s Volt SMG would be the next gun released in the popular battle royale. While it was initially expected to debut in Season 4, speculation now expects the sub to drop in with Loba at the start of Season 5: Fortune\u2019s Favor\u2014and the presence of leaked skins for the gun seems to confirm that. In Titanfall 2, the Volt is an energy-based SMG that fires \u2018blue tracers,\u2019 hitscan shots that glow blue and give away your position to enemies who are not already nearby enough to be getting beamed down. It excels at short ranges and can be expected to do the same in Apex Legends, possibly sitting somewhere between the R-99 and the L-STAR as a high-powered, but range-limited automatic weapon. Adding to hype over a new incoming SMG, dataminer \u2018Suum\u2019 tweeted out what appears to be an epic skin for the Volt\u2014a blue variant with crackling lightning pulsing through dark blocks on the guns\u2019 sides. https:\/\/twitter.com\/The_Suum\/status\/1257790996793954324 From its appearance, the Volt looks like some sort of crossover of the L-STAR and R-99 with a chunkier frame than the former, but a much lighter stock than the latter. This fits with what we\u2019d expect of the gun from its role in Titanfall 2. One interesting note is that the Volt appears to feature the same suppressor seen in its original iteration. While that barrel suppressor served no in-game purpose in the former game, it would be interesting if its inclusion is more than a cosmetic decision for Season 5. While there\u2019s been no confirmation that the gun may be Apex Legends\u2019 first to feature a silencing function, Suum appears to have confirmed that it will at least be the gun featured next season\u2014as all four epic skins are already included in the game\u2019s files. https:\/\/twitter.com\/The_Suum\/status\/1257791833326997505 Season 5 releases on May 12 and, alongside Loba\u2019s release and some possible changes to King\u2019s Canyon\u2014we\u2019ll be sure to find out exactly what role the Volt SMG will play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
