Apex Legends is set for some exciting updates, with major Leaks revealing upcoming weapons, game modes, and buffs. From a Capture the Flag mode to a new explosive weapon, there’s plenty to look forward to. On top of that, Newcastle’s heirloom is set to debut in a special LTM, and a Revenant buff could make him even more deadly.

Let’s break down all the latest leaks and rumors surrounding Apex Legends.

EPG and Archer rocket launcher coming to Apex Legends

According to leaks, the EPG is getting skins and a nerfed version for public lobbies, with its damage reduced by almost 50%. This adjustment makes sense, as the EPG has been dominant in LTMs.

Even bigger news? A new explosive weapon from Titanfall is coming—the Archer rocket launcher. This powerful weapon could shake up the meta, especially with the EPG already making its way into the game.

Newcastle heirloom arriving with rockets and swords LTM

Leakers suggest that Newcastle’s heirloom will launch around March 25th alongside the rockets and swords LTM. In this mode, Players will reportedly use Newcastle’s heirloom sword, similar to how the Buster Sword was featured in the Final Fantasy Event.

This is a classic marketing move from Respawn, as using heirlooms in LTMs can increase their appeal—making players more likely to purchase them afterward.

Capture the Flag mode nearly finished

Apex Legends could be getting a Capture the Flag (CTF) mode soon, as development is reportedly almost complete. This mode has been rumored for a while, with references found in TDMfiles.

Leakers have confirmed that CTF is now listed alongside Gun Run and TDM SR, meaning we could see it launch in the next few seasons.

Prowler reactive recolor coming next season

A Prowler reactive skin recolor is expected to arrive in the Exotic shop next season. This aligns with previous leaks from Hyperm Miss, who reported that a Prowler reactor skin would get a new color variant.

If you have exotic shards, this could be a solid cosmetic upgrade—though there’s no word yet on the pricing.

New light ammo LMG in development

A brand-new light ammo LMG is being developed, but it’s not the Mom LMG, which was leaked long ago.

The Mom LMG was supposed to have a unique mechanic where ammo capacity increased by +5 per kill, but this new LMG is said to be entirely different.

Additionally, the Maelstrom has been permanently disabled, meaning the game is shifting towards a fresh LMG meta.

Revenant buff will refill ultimate shields on knock

Revenant is getting another buff, and it could make him even scarier. A new perk will allow Revenant to refill his ultimate shields with each knock, replacing his Murder Machine perk.

This change could make Revenant even more powerful in ranked play and aggressive fights, as he’ll be harder to take down when securing kills.

Next battle pass reactive weapons revealed

The next battle pass reactive weapons have been leaked, with the Nemesis, L-STAR, and RE-45 set to get reactive skins. However, their exact order in the battle pass hasn’t been confirmed.

These weapons have seen increased usage in past seasons, so reactive skins could be a great way to make them more desirable.

Old prestige skins will get new dive trails

Prestige skins for Wraith, Bangalore, Caustic, and Bloodhound are finally getting dive trails.

Currently, new prestige skins launch with their own dive trails, but older ones have been left out. It’s unclear whether the dive trails will be added for free or require a separate purchase, but it’s great to see Respawn addressing this issue.

A new controller legend with a silence trap ability

A new Controller Legend with a silence trap ability is reportedly in development.

This ability may have been moved to Sparrow, a recently leaked Legend with crow-themed abilities. If this feature stays on the mystery controller Legend, it could bring Revenant-like silence mechanics into a defensive role—something that could be controversial among Revenant mains.

New quest mode inspired by Broken Ghost

Respawn is working on a new quest mode similar to Broken Ghost, which was a PvE event from Season 4.

Broken Ghost involved fighting Prowlers and AI enemies to unlock rewards and lore, ultimately leading to Ash’s introduction in Apex Legends.

This could be a great addition for players who enjoy story-driven content and PvE challenges.
