Season 27 is gearing up to be a massive update for Apex Legends, especially for fans of mythic cosmetics. According to trusted leaker Hypermyst, two major mythic items are on the way—and both are sure to turn heads.
R-99 Is the Next Mythic Weapon
The R-99 will be the next weapon to receive a mythic-tier skin. Just like the Flatline and R-301, it will feature three recolor variants, each with unique visual styles and effects.
This is huge news for fans of fast-paced, aggressive playstyles. The R-99 has always been a high-skill, high-reward SMG, and now it’s finally getting a premium mythic cosmetic to match.
Horizon’s Mythic Skin Also Incoming
That’s not all. The Horizon mythic skin is also expected to launch during the mid-season update of Season 27. This has beenteased for quite some time and is now finally confirmed to be in the pipeline.
Like previous prestige skins, Horizon’s mythic will likely include three Evolution tiers, a custom finisher, and a dive trail—plus that satisfying damage-based progression that gives the skin life in every match.
No More Collection Events? Say Hello to Milestone Events
What’s interesting is that Respawn has seemingly moved away from collection events entirely. Instead, they’ve started using milestone events to drop mythic skins—most recently seen with Wattson’s prestige skin.
Milestone events are simpler: 25 to 36 items, no loot boxes, and a more accessible pricing structure. If Horizon’s mythic follows this trend, expect a similar system that keeps the cost lower and the grind more manageable.
Season 27 is shaping up to be one of the most mythic-heavy seasons yet—and Horizon and R-99 mains are going to eat.
