In the latest update of Apex Legends, the Grand Soirée devs removed all the extended energy mags from the map. When asked about it, the devs said it would make more sense in season 4.
In the patch notes, the devs said that removing energy may seem odd at the moment, but with the release of the new season, it will make much more sense. They also said that this update wasn’t supposed to go live during this event. Instead, it was supposed to go live with season 4.
New Energy-Based SMG confirmed?
Since the devs acknowledged that they actually made a mistake, and the energy mag changes weren’t supposed to go live until season 4. This gave new life to long-term rumors that the new weapon in season 4 will most likely be an energy-based SMG. Many Titanfall veterans are sure that the new weapon will be the Volt SMG from Titanfal.
It all makes sense because the devs claim that the patch changes were supposedly made for the new season. So, maybe to balance the new weapon, the energy mags were removed. It all makes sense that the new season weapon might be an SMG.
In previous seasons, we got a sniper rifle, assault rifle, LMG, etc. So, it makes total sense to assume that Respawn may add a new SMG to the game this time in the upcoming new season.
