Apex Legends Data Mine Hints at New SMG

According to data minor That1MiningGuy, Pex legends are likely to get a new SMG soon. Currently, Apex Legends has three SMGs named Alternator, R-99, and Prolar. The new data mine suggests that Response is testing a kick pattern for a new SMG.

Considering Apex Legends is located in the Titanfall universe, both of these games have similar weapons. The final weapon offered for the game was the Charge Rifle, an anti-Titan gun in Titanfall and Titanfall 2. Therefore, it is quite possible that the new SMG may be VOLT or CAR. While the CAR is a fully automated SMG with pretty decent accuracy, the VOLT is an energy SMG that emits blue lines after draining the path of a bullet. However, either of these SMGs would be a welcome addition to the current fairly limited roster in Apex Legends.

It should also be considered that Respawn can test new kick patterns for an existing SMG. However, given the rate at which Apex Legends has received new material, this could be a new weapon. It should also be noted that Response has not confirmed any details about the new SMG.
