Recently someone that claiming to have playtested Apex has shared some information that was discussed during the playtest session by Devs, This leak contained information regarding changes related to looting, weapons & legends that were still in the discussion/testing phase, and should be taken with a grain of salt since the information since its a new information from different source & its something that seems very destructive if not implemented correctly because it heavily impacts core game mechanics and how the game is being played ever since it first launched
All the leaked changes
● Weapons no longer spawn on the ground
This means looking for weapons after landing on the map will be completely eliminated
● Weapon preset system will supposedly be added to the lobby, which allows you to configure a set of your desired load-outs before entering a match
According to the leak a new section will be added to the lobby that will allow you to create your own weapon loadout presets similar to Call of Duty
● Your selected loadout will be added to the inventory upon landing on the map, without attachments
Similar to mixtape you will be spawned with the weapons in your inventory ready to use as soon as you touch the battlefield, without attachments
● Change Loadout through Replicators
Upon landing if you decide that you want to try out a different weapon during or if you accidently chose the wrong loadout, you will be able to pick a different loadout by crafting at the replicators that are scattered throughout the map (you will only be able to pick from the loadout presets that you’ve created in lobby)
● Weapon rarity will upgrade with the ring
For eg. Ring 2 will upgrade weapons to Blue, Ring 4 will upgrade to Purple
● Exclusive weapon sets for each legend
Each legend will recieve a set of ‘exclusive’ weapons that will give them buff / bonus on the battlefield
for example; everyone knows rampart loves LMG her bonus for using a certain LMG may give her faster ADS speed, Faster movement speed, Faster reload etc.
● Using Non-Exclusive weapons with a Legend results in a De-Buff for that Legend or Negative Effects
● Players will still be able to swap weapons from Carepackages & Deathboxes
