Apex Legends underused SMG will be a \u201cmonster\u201d after buffs in new update Respawn EntertainmentThe Prowler SMG is receiving a minor damage buff with the Apex Legends Spellbound Collection Event, but players are convinced it\u2019s going to transform the gun into a \u201cmonster\u201d. When it comes to guns in Apex Legends, the R-301, R99, and Flatline seem to be the most popular options for the majority of players. They all provide lethal damage output and as they\u2019re full auto, they\u2019re slightly more forgiving if you happen to miss a few shots. One weapon that often gets overlooked is the Prowler, an SMG that fires in bursts and melts enemy health bars, but does require pinpoint accuracy. Well, to push players to use it more, Respawn has decided to buff its damage in the Spellbound Collection Event, and fans of the Prowler are convinced it\u2019s going to be a \u201cmonster\u201d following the update. Prowler buff coming in Apex Legends Spellbound update The Prowler will be receiving a buff with the Spellbound Collection Event arriving on January 10. The SMG\u2019s damage is going to be increased from 14 to 15. While this does seem minor at a glance, the Prowler shoots in bursts of five bullets, so each trigger pull now does 75 damage instead of 70. As showcased by Apex YouTuber Bobz, this means that anyone using red EVO armor can now be downed with three bursts to the body. This is significant as it makes the Prowler more viable in the late game and rewards anyone whose willing to completely master its recoil pattern. In the comments, a lot of Prowler fans are convinced that this will make the SMG a \u201cmonster\u201d and that the gun didn\u2019t need a buff. According to them, the gun was already \u201csuper underrated\u201d and this change will just make it \u201ceven more ridiculous\u201d. It\u2019ll be interesting to see if the Prowler becomes more prominent in the ALGS following this buff, or whether it remains a fairly underused weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
