Apex Legends leaks uncover new SMG potentially launching with Season 16 RespawnBrand new Apex Legends leaks point to a new submachine gun (SMG) dropping soon and making the battle royale\u2019s weapon pool one bigger. Apex Legends\u2019 weapon pool is at the heart of its combat and looting system, with players scrambling round its many environments to find and equip the very best guns in the current meta. However, it\u2019s been some time since a new weapon was added to Apex Legends, with Respawn keen to keep the gun pool balanced and not release new weapons for the sake of it. At the time of writing, the last new weapon to drop was the CAR SMG, which came with Season 11. We\u2019re now approaching Season 16 and, finally, it looks like a new gun is on the horizon. Apex Legends leak uncovers new SMG In a December 2 YouTube video, Apex content creator Grrt shed light on a new SMG that was spotted on an Apex Legends skin and cosmetic site. \u201cThere is a finished model and skin for a future weapon,\u201d he explained. \u201cEssentially, a company that makes skins for Apex posted a tonne of skins they\u2019ve made. But when we scroll through, we notice something we\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d The images, featuring in the below video around the 0:22 mark, show a small and compact weapon that looks like a SMG and is discernibly different from any existing weapon in the game. \u201cThis is not a gun we have,\u201d Grrt continued. \u201cIt\u2019s not a Prowler because it\u2019s too long and the barrel\u2019s too big. It\u2019s not a Havoc or anything like that. It\u2019s just a straight up new gun.\u201d He rounded out the video by pointing out that it aligns with previous leaks regarding a \u2018Gemini SMG\u2019, so there is the possibility that it is a previously leaked gun resurfacing closer to its in-game release. It was also noted by some viewers that the listing and images have now been removed, suggesting they were accidentally released ahead of schedule. Regardless, the implementation of the new SMG will remain unconfirmed until Respawn or EA make it official. Many will be hoping to see it with Season 16 in February, especially given the backlash the criticism that has been directed at the Wintertide Event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
