So after watching the gameplay trailer I instantly saw the clip where the Prowler was being used. At first I thought they might be advertising that this weapon is going to be back on the ground loot, however after seeing it kitted out with the Digi-Threat it seems it is still the same care package version. What's your opinion on this?

@rockyboy1998 Was expected. Guns always stay in the care pack for a couple seasons.Tho like you I'd like to get it back.

It's my favorite SMG and since it's been in drop pods only, I've kind of been annoyed.Really, Apex needs to leave the pod weapons the way they were in season 1 and just balance accordingly. Mastiff, Devo, Kraber, leave those as pod weapons and just give them everything (You really can't use a devo well anyway unless its got all sorts of stuff on it. And, yeah, that's right, Peace Keeper was fine as a shotgun. Said it, yes i did)

@rockyboy1998 It's such an OP SMG right now. Recoil is almost 0 for an SMG.. I posted a 2k with it the other night and did not break a sweat.I do miss it as well. But the funny thing, I finally got decent with the 99.

@Koochi-Q Prowler had 35 bullets with purple mag even before it went into the package.

@KelRiever 100% agree. Although I didn't mind it when they put the R-99 in and gave us the volt. It forced us to try it out and during that time I was getting more and more annoyed by wraiths using the R-99 wingman combo. And now that the volt is out I feel like I've seen that combo less and less

@rockyboy1998 Saw it and not even 0.0001 later I was disappointed as it could still be a CP as I saw the digi as well...

@hayhor Sometimes they do a single season spout. Maybe PK will come out & Mastiff go back in? Either way I don't mind I guess.

@rockyboy1998 I think it will be back in ground loot because it had 30 bullets. In package it has 35, no?

@Tad844 Maybe this was before they did the mentioned 35 bullet upgrade.

@Tad844Yea, but it got reduced to 30 if I recall correctly but that might not be the case...

Trying to find the details
[EDIT] Think I’m just remembering wrong...
[DOUBLE EDIT] so just watched the trailer in pause-play mode. It had 35 bullets. If you watch it was already shooting while the trailer was panning towards Fuse and when it was in FP it showed the prowler bullet count at 31 (with couple bullets already shot), so it has at least 35.

@DarthValtrex It's not an OP SMG really. They made the care package one slightly better as well.

I personally do not even use the weapon with the select fire... I use it in burst.

It really would be a shame to see the weapon still in the CP.
