Apex Legends Season 4 Sentinel sniper details & special ability revealed Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment have released new details about the Sentinel Sniper Rifle, the new weapon that will be making its debut in Apex Legends Season 4: Assimilation. With Apex Legends Season 4 just days away, Respawn continue to build the hype by releasing more information and teasers about what\u2019s to come. As has been the case with the first three seasons, Assimilation will introduce a brand new weapon into the battle royale, a bolt-action sniper rifle called Sentinel. A special PlayStation Blog post released on January 30 shed some light about this new gun, how it will function, and even its special ability. The sniper is being called \u201cfast, accurate, and surgical,\u201d letting you \u201cremove enemies from the battlefield with cold-blooded accuracy.\u201d It\u2019s apparently ideal for \u201cmedium-to-long-range combat,\u201d which should be good news for players since that means it\u2019ll be viable for more than just picking off enemies at long ranges. The blog post also made a point to note that the Sentinel \u201cis particularly devastating to shields,\u201d so it could have armor-piercing properties that deal damage even if someone has a high-tier Body Shield equipped. Sentinel sniper\u2019s special ability Easily the most interesting part about the blog post\u2019s description of the new Sentinel sniper rifle is that it\u2019s going to have some sort of unique ability. \u201cConsume a Shield Battery from your inventory to charge your shots for an extra, incisive punch,\u201d the description reads. \u201cBy the time your opponents figure out where you are, it will be too late.\u201d So, basically, the sniper can be charged up for an even more powerful shot if you activate a Shield Battery while using it, which is a very interesting function that\u2019s never been seen before in the game. What else is new for Season 4? This Sentinel sniper rifle is, of course, only one of several new things and changes that will be introduced in Season 4: Assimilation. As usual, there will be a new Legend added, which will apparently be Revenant and not Forge, contrary to what had been announced several days prior. That said, there\u2019s a chance Respawn could end up adding both characters in; we\u2019ll just have to wait and see. Read More: Is Forge really dead? Apex dev responds – There will also be a new Battle Pass, Ranked Series 3, and \u201cbig map changes\u201d coming to World\u2019s Edge, having to do with the Hammond Robotics corporation that seems to be at the center of everything going on with Apex lore. Apex Legends Season 4 launches Tuesday, February 4 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
