Respawn provided little information about the new gun but described it as an \u201cobliterating directed-energy weapon\u201d on the season announcement page. It\u2019s still unclear if the gun will fire short bursts like Titanfall's version of the weapon or if it will be a beam of energy that requires a constant input of energy ammo. Just last week, data miner That1MiningGuy discovered details about the Charge Rifle hidden in the battle royale\u2019s code. The files describe the rifle as a tier 4 weapon, which could mean that it can be found only in carepackage drops like the Kraber or L-Star. Images of the Charge Rifle first surfaced from the 2019 GME Conference. Similar images also caught first looks at Crypto, the game\u2019s newest character, and the recently revealed Apex Legends physical editions, which go on sale next month. Additionally, the photos previewed an upcoming Halloween skin for Gibraltar. Related: Here are all of the changes coming to Apex\u2019s Ranked League series 2 Respawn confirmed the addition of the Charge Rifle today after announcing season three, which is named Meltdown. The season will introduce Crypto, a new battle pass, and a rehaul of the ranked mode\u2019s points system. Apex\u2019s season three is set to kick off on Oct. 1, so fans won\u2019t have to wait too long to try the Charge Rifle out for themselves.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/19093426\/Apex-Legends-logo-1280x7201-770x433-770x433-770x433-770x433.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173224"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1723"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173224\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173224"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=173224"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=173224"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=173224"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=173224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
