New SMG weapon leaked for Apex Legends Season 3 Respawn EntertainmentWith Apex Legends\u2018 third season fast approaching, leaks are beginning spill out as data miners access the game files to uncover unreleased content, and we now have a look at a new weapon expected for Season 3. So far, only two new weapons have been added since launch \u2013 the Havoc energy rifle, and the L-Star (although the latter was only available in care packages). This is a little thin for a free-to-play battle royale game, where new content is key to keeping players engaged, so it\u2019s almost certain that a new weapon will be added soon, presumably alongside the launch of the new season, just like the L-Star. New leaked Apex Legends weapon \u2013 Volt SMG Prolific data miner @That1MiningGuy, who also leaked the name and contents of the Season 3 battle pass, has uncovered the model for a new SMG, inspired by Titanfall weapon \u2018Volt\u2019. This compact SMG was an energy weapon in Titanfall 2, which would make sense as an Apex Legends addition, as we don\u2019t have an energy SMG yet, only an Assault Rifle (Havoc), LMG (Devotion) and Sniper (Triple Take). It\u2019s unclear if the weapon will retain its Titanfall name, however. Other weapons from the series have had their names adjusted slightly, such as the \u2018R-201\u2019 becoming \u2018R-301\u2019, or the \u2018R-97\u2019 becoming the \u2018R-99\u2019. Realized I messed up on the emissions on that one, sory bout that. pic.twitter.com\/Y2rn819Bpy \u2014 That1MiningGuy (@That1MiningGuy) September 11, 2019 Volt models found, don’t think under barrel is for apex (since it had no other colored textures) \u2013 definitely apex skins for it, 5 in total. \ud83d\ude42 \u2014 That1MiningGuy (@That1MiningGuy) September 9, 2019 The leaker, That1MiningGuy, dismissed suggestions from some fans that it could, in fact, be another Titanfall SMG, the CAR, which does admittedly look similar. However, on close inspection of the models, it is clear that this new weapon in the Apex Legends game files is indeed the Volt. CAR left VOLT top right my render is the purple one. Hmmmm pic.twitter.com\/wYoylz7cy2 \u2014 That1MiningGuy (@That1MiningGuy) September 11, 2019 Some have also suggested that the game files could simply be leftovers from Titanfall, as some assets were reused for Apex Legends. However, as pointed out by the leaker, there are weapon skins for the Volt which are specific to Apex \u2013 meaning it can\u2019t be a leftover asset. Of course, as with all leaks, it\u2019s subject to change, and these assets could still be in development. However, with Season 3 just around the corner, and a new weapon expected, it looks very much like the Volt energy SMG will be coming to Kings Canyon. We can only hope that whatever the new weapon is, it isn\u2019t left only to care packages, and is instead added to ground loot. Although the L-Star is very powerful, it\u2019s limited in use as it has restricted ammo, and you\u2019ll have to get lucky to find it in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
