Apex Legends Season 7 Weapon Changes Detailed

Respawn Entertainment has made the L-STAR EMG easier to use for players who fan feather the trigger, introducing a new recoil pattern that kicks horizontally initially, then settles upward. Additionally, its venting time has been reduced from 0.4 seconds to 0.15, while its heat cooling time (when not overheated) has been shortened to 1.15 seconds.

The new recoil pattern introduced to the Havoc in the 6.0 patch has been simplified to be easier to control. The updated pattern in Season 7 kicks up, then right, then left and up again.

The energize ability of the Sentinel has been buffed to improve its viability in more situations. It now offers pure bonus damage against more than just shields, as well as has an increased base damage from 70 to 88.

After receiving a bit too much popularity in Season 6 according to Respawn, the Hemlok will be receiving nerfs mostly to its burst mode. Recoil will be added to its initial burst horizontally, as well as its magnitude in the later stages of its pattern, while its headshot multiplier has been reduced from 2.0 to 1.75 (44 -> 39 damage headshot against no helmet base character).

Additionally, the Triple Take's fire rate has been reduced back to what it was before the 6.0 patch, from 1.3 to 1.2 as Respawn felt it was performing a bit too well.

While the Selectfire Receiver Hop-up will be exiting the Apex Games, the new Quickdraw Holster Hop-up makes the RE-45 and Wingman quicker to ready, quicker to ADS and narrows their hipfire spreads.

The R-99 returns to the normal loot pool with the same stats it had before went into Supply Drops at the start of Season 6. Taking its place is the Prowler, which will still have the ability to change between 5-round bursts and full-auto.

Lastly, the Fully Kitted legendary weapons that spawn with all of their unadjustable attachments in Season 7 will include the Wingman, Sentinel, Havoc, G7 Scout and the Alternator.
