Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends, the free-to-play battle royale set in the Titanfall universe, could be releasing a new weapon soon.
This time, however, it’s not a gun. In a leak by Apex Legends Leaks & News, it’s been revealed that the Tick could be coming to Apex. Nothing has been confirmed by Respawn yet and everything is speculation at this point, but it looks like there’s a possibility that the weapon could hit the live servers soon.
Apex Legends Leaks & News found a file in the subtitles for Apex, with the words “tick” and “automated drone that seeks nearby targets and explodes.” The same file also contained hints toward the release of the L-Star and Havoc weapon.
The Tick is an autonomous anti-personnel robotic weapon that first appeared in Titanfall 2 in single player and then later as a boost in multiplayer. The Tick can be unlocked by default and can be activated at 65 percent core meter.
The Apex Battle Pass is scheduled to be released this month, but Respawn has revealed very little details about it. Some players anticipate that the Battle Pass will come alongside a new patch, which may include new characters, weapons, and cosmetic items.
There’s nothing to suggest when the Tick will be released, but it could become a useable weapon in the future. There’s a chance that the weapon is in a testing period and will never come to fruition in Apex, however.
