Apex Legends won\u2019t get a new weapon every season to preserve game health Respawn EntertainmentRespawn used to add weapons to Apex Legends with great haste. The early seasons of the battle royale saw new guns dropping every release. However, the developers are pulling back on the number of weapon releases to preserve the game\u2019s healthy meta. Apex Legends players were treated to many big seasons full of new characters and weapons early on in the game\u2019s existence. The game started with a decent variety of weapons, but over time, new releases have warped the meta \u2014 from the Charge Rifle to the Bocek, to the Volt and the C.A.R. SMG. However, now the game is getting quite full with weapons catering to every ammo type and every range of fight. There\u2019s 28 to be precise, and Respawn thinks that\u2019s a good enough number to balance the game around right now. Therefore, don\u2019t expect new weapons every Apex Legends season from here on out \u2014 only when they see it as necessary. \u201cWe serve what\u2019s right and healthy for the game,\u201d senior game designer Eric Canavese said during a Season 14 press event. \u201cI can\u2019t talk about future plans, future weapons, or anything like that, but know that we\u2019re always thinking about what\u2019s right for the game, what does the game need, and is the meta healthy.\u201d \u201cOur goal is not to just shove content in the game to checkbox a seasonal delivery list, our goal is to make the game the best it can possibly be, and if that means the game needs another weapon, then we\u2019ll make another weapon for it, but that will happen at the time it needs to happen, and not just on a seasonal cadence.\u201d True to this philosophy, there won\u2019t be a new weapon in Apex Legends Season 14. However, there\u2019ll be plenty of changes to the game\u2019s existing arsenal. The EVA-8 Auto shotgun is being reworked, the Wingman and Spitfire are changing ammo types, and the Bocek plus the Rampage LMG are being vaulted. There are also some smaller balance changes here and there to try and keep things interesting, even if there\u2019s no new gun to truly spice things up. As for when the next new weapon will launch in Apex Legends? Players will have to wait and see what Respawn are cooking up when that time comes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
