Apex Legends leaks reveal new \u2018Dragon\u2019 light LMG coming soon Respawn EntertainmentA powerful new Light Machine Gun in Apex Legends has slipped through the cracks, with recent leaks uncovering the \u2018Dragon,\u2019 a first of its kind LMG that utilizes Light Ammo. Throughout the first two years of Apex Legends, we\u2019ve seen just three unique LMGs in rotation. Now, a fourth could finally be on the way for Respawn Entertainment\u2019s popular battle royale. Prominent leaker \u2018Biast12\u2019 unveiled a handful of new weapons in an April 11 tweet. Standing out from the pack was the \u201cDragon,\u201d a brand new LMG unlike anything else in the category. While an accompanying image showed the potential model for the future release, one key detail stole the spotlight. Should this leaked weapon make it into the live version of Apex Legends, it\u2019ll be the first LMG to use Light Rounds. There is 3 weapons in development right now EPG Compound Bow Dragon (more on that in the next tweet)\u2014 Biast12 (@Biast12) April 11, 2021 As it currently stands, there are just six weapons among the 22 in Apex that rely on this type of ammunition. None of them are LMGs. Instead, these bulkier weapons have always fed off Heavy Rounds or Energy Ammo. The Dragon could be the first to buck that trend, according to Biast12. Utilizing Light Rounds, this implies the LMG would come with a lightning-fast fire rate to fit the bill. Light ammunition is rapidly chewed through by SMGs, ARs, and Pistols. There\u2019s no reason to believe an LMG of this variety would function any differently. Beyond the distinct ammo type, details remain scarce for the new weapon. There\u2019s no telling just how powerful it might be, what the recoil may look like, or where you\u2019ll be able to find it. The new in-game model itself looks rather lightweight compared to the heftier LMG designs we\u2019ve seen thus far.

While there is a unique model for the gun already, there\u2019s no guarantee it\u2019ll see the light of day. Plenty of content in development can be held back or outright scrapped for various reasons. With that in mind, there\u2019s no telling when the Dragon might make its way to Apex Legends. It could be a hot arrival in the upcoming Season 9 update, or it could be months away. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see what the developers have in store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
