Though Respawn kept specifics of the weapon under wraps, it provided a brief description of the Charge Rifle.

"Carve your way across the Arena with this obliterating directed-energy weapon," reads the blurb on the Apex Legends site. The description indicates the Charge Rifle will use energy ammo, but other specifics remain unknown.

The Charge Rifle will arrive in Apex Legends at the outset of Season 3 alongside the second ranked season, a new battle pass with over 100 items, and the next playable Legend: Crypto, a mysterious hacker. Season 3 is scheduled to begin Oct. 1, the day after Season 2 wraps up.
