Smart Pistol is NOT coming to Apex Legends says Respawn dev Respawn EntertainmentAfter panic was sparked that one of Titanfall\u2019s most controversial weapons, the Smart Pistol, was coming to Apex Legends, a Respawn developer has responded to clarify it\u2019s definitely not on the way. A game file found in Apex Legends labeled Smart_Pistol_MK6_bullet had players who know about the weapon\u2019s power worried it could be coming to the battle royale. Titanfall players know all too well about the Smart Pistol\u2019s lock-on abilities and just how much debate it sparked in the community, even when it was nerfed and made a boost weapon that charged up over time in Titanfall 2. Data miner That1MiningGuy shared the game file on Twitter on February 24, saying \u201cAll the non-Titanfall playing Apex Fans don\u2019t know of the hell that is the Smart Pistol. Yall cry about aim assist, you don\u2019t even know the nightmare of what COULD be coming if it\u2019s real.\u201d Read More: How to wall run in Apex Legends – Thankfully, we don\u2019t actually have to worry about this possibility at all, as the Smart Pistol is definitely not coming to Respawn\u2019s battle royale. On February 25, Design Director Jason McCord said \u201cVery annoying. No, it\u2019s not coming to Apex. But thanks for spreading misinformation.\u201d It looks like it was just a leftover game file after all, as originally thought. Very annoying. No, it\u2019s not coming to Apex. But thanks for spreading misinformation. \u2014 Jason McCord (@MonsterclipRSPN) February 26, 2020 So, for all the Smart Pistol-hating Titanfall players, there\u2019s no need to panic \u2013 it won\u2019t be tearing up Apex Legends lobbies anytime soon. Of course, we can still expect new weapons added to the battle royale in the future. So far, Respawn have kept it to only one new weapon per season, but with Season 4 featuring a \u2018split\u2019 on March 24, there is a possibility they buck that trend. Even before Season 4 started, there were rumors of a new SMG coming, possibly the VOLT. These hopes were dashed when we got the new Sentinel sniper rifle. The VOLT is also a weapon from Titanfall, so although the Smart Pistol isn\u2019t coming, it looks like Respawn may continue to draw from their established arsenal of weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
