Respawn shocked fans today with the reveal of the latest addition to the Apex Legends armoryāthe Volt SMG.
The gun, which originally has roots in the Titanfall universe, has been unearthed plenty of times by data miners. And it appears Respawn is finally introducing it to the battle royale for season six as the gameās first energy SMG.
āCharge into battle with this energy SMG that packs a punch,ā according to Apexās season six page.
Aside from a brief description of the Volt that hints itāll use Energy ammo, Respawn hasnāt offered much else. But itāll likely have similar characteristics to the Titanfall iteration.
In Titanfall 2, the Volt fires āconcentrated bolts of high energyā and is most effective in medium to close-range engagements, according to the gunās wiki page. It also has a high rate of fire and will likely be fairly accurate from close range.
The Volt will join the R-99, Alternator, and Prowler in Apexās SMG category.
This isnāt the first time Respawn has repurposed a Titanfall weapon for Apexāand likely wonāt be the last. Many of the battle royaleās guns take inspiration from the Titanfall universe, such as the P2020 pistol (P2016 in TF2), R-99 (formerly R-97), and the G7 Scout (G2A5).
