Apex Legends players devastated as Flatline & Longbow removed from floor loot Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends\u2019 floor items will look a bit different in Season 12 when both the VK-47 Flatline and the Longbow DMR get pulled from the loot pool. There are a number of huge changes coming to Apex in Season 12: Defiance. From Legend changes like Crypto\u2019s buff and Caustic\u2019s big nerf, to the seasonal care package changes which will bring the Alternator back to the ground loot, players are set to experience a big shakeup from the current state of the game. Not all of these changes are being viewed fondly though, as the decision to take the Flatline and the Longbow into the Replicator hasn\u2019t been too well received by the fanbase. Apex Legends players upset after Flatline & Longbow taken out of loot pool This is the first time any weapon has been moved to the material-eating machine since Season 6 where a new gun would be taken out of the rotation each day and locked in until the next daily reset. That concept is staying the same for this go-around but instead of changing daily, both weapons will be locked away for the whole of Season 12. On top of being taken out of the ground loot options, the beloved Flatline is also getting a one-point damage reduction to help keep it in line with its competition. One commenter noted that they thought the assault rifle was in a great spot before this and are worried that Respawn has gone a step too far this time: \u201cI feel it\u2019s the most balanced weapon in the game. This makes me sad.\u201d Another player had questions about the changes to the Longbow and whether or not this change was warranted: \u201cWhy the Longbow though? Was it even used enough to deserve that?\u201d Given the popularity of the Flatline particularly, this change will surely shake up the meta when the new season begins on February 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
