Apex Legends players still waiting for specific new weapon after 5 years Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have been left baffled by the fact that it\u2019s been five years since the battle royale launched and there hasn\u2019t been a new pistol or shotgun added to the mix at any point. When February 4 rolls around, it\u2019ll have been five years since Respawn Entertainment first dropped Apex Legends onto the gaming world and changed the battle royale genre in a pretty massive way. Those last five years have been chock full of changes, including a massive amount of new Legends, new maps to cause havoc on, and, of course, a whole host of new weapons to do that destruction with as well. New weapons had been a regular addition with each new season, but that has slowed down in recent updates. Two weapon types that have been regularly changed but have yet to see a new type added are pistols and shotguns \u2013 and, well, players have had enough after five years of waiting. Apex Legends players want new pistol or shotgun soon That\u2019s right, in the five years that Apex Legends has been around, there hasn\u2019t been a new close-quarters gun added and players want that to change \u2013 calling it \u201ccrazy\u201d that is the case. \u201cPraying we get a double barrel shotgun or a burst firing pistol next season,\u201d one Redditor said. \u201cI really wanted something like the nemesis but as a pistol,\u201d commented one annoyed player. \u201cI don\u2019t care what anyone says, we need akimbo pistols,\u201d another said. Some players pointed out that there have been leaked pistols over the last few years, including the Smart Pistol from Titanfall. \u201cMonkey\u2019s Paw grants Apex the Smart Pistol,\u201d joked one player. Others argued that the weapon pool has always been in a solid enough position that there hasn\u2019t been any need for a new pistol or shotgun. \u201cWe already have 4 shotguns that serve different purposes and act differently, and doing double barrel would just be the double tap when it was broken,\u201d one noted. As mentioned, there have been leaked pistols in the past, so it\u2019s clearly something the devs have considered. Though, who knows if they\u2019ll ever actually make it into the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
