L-Star Changes On the Way for Apex Legends
By Nathan Fusco
Apex Legends devs told the community that L-Star changes were on the way. After the Aftermath event began, Respawn Entertainment posted the patch notes on Reddit and answered some players' questions. We know Evo shields will receive a nerf in the next season, and now apparently, the L-Star will as well.
Other LMGs like the Spitfire and Devotion were targeted in the Aftermarket patch, but not the L-Star. Fan instantly noticed on Reddit and asked if the L-Star would receive any changes. Respawn Designer, David Bocek answered the query, "The L-Star is sorta a weird gun. It’s in the LMG category but it isn’t really a full LMG in terms of the stats, it’s kinda 'LMG-lite'. We have future plans for the LSTAR, just nothing this patch.”
Get revved up for the Aftermarket Collection Event. Take part in the cross-play beta, dive into the new “Flashpoint” LTM, take on challenges to earn exclusive rewards, and more! It’s going to be a hell of a ride! ?

Based on that response we will probably see an L-Star change in the next patch. There is a small chance it's saved for Season 7 like the Evo armor nerf, but if Respawn wants to keep the LMGs balanced, something needs to change with the L-Star.
