He revealed earlier today that he found evidence of a series of forthcoming changes to Apex in the game's files. https:\/\/twitter.com\/That1MiningGuy\/status\/1206567359051444225 Some of the changes will be cosmetic-only alterations. Players will likely be able to customize the player panel in the bottom left with skins at some point in the future. That1MiningGuy also found traces of \u201cfavorite skins,\u201d which could mean that players will be able to rotate through different skins in the character select screen or randomize between previously selected visuals. The data miner announced \u201ctons of changes to third-person effects,\u201d too. He speculates that there could be a limited-time mode or a separate playlist for third-person gameplay. This could relate to the opt-in\/opt-out playlists he found in the game files. It\u2019s also possible that King\u2019s Canyon could make a return to the map pool and players would be able to choose which maps to play. Regarding new armaments, Respawn added audio files for the anticipated Volt SMG, an energy submachine gun hailing from the Titanfall franchise. Recoil patterns for an unknown sniper rifle called \u201cSentinel\u201d were referenced in the game files as well. That1MiningGuy also leaked changes to Apex\u2019s skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) system. It\u2019s unclear exactly what the tweaks are, \u201cbecause a lot of that is obfuscated \/ server sided,\u201d but the data miner said that \u201csome variables were adjusted.\u201d \u201cI can't see enough of the code to really know how it works,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cI can see that it was adjusted (by comparing it to the script from the previous build)
