Re: Theoretical discussion: Next weapon
It'll probably be more energy based weapons.
So far as standard we've had an energy sniper(Triple Take) and an Energy LMG (Devotion) And they just added an energy Assault rifle (Havoc) So it wouldn't surprise me if they add more energy based weapons such as an energy Shotgun, Pistol, SMG and even grenades.
I'd imagine an energy pistol to be slow, charged and heavy shots as opposed to full/semi-auto, same with a shoitgun, imagine the charged peacekeeper but slower and less range maybe. SMg would likely be the same as the Havoc and devotion, rapid but with charge time, another use for the turbo charger I guess.
As for legendary tier weapons I imagine things such as grenade launchers and rockets would fall in to that catagory if they don't make those types Legend specific as ultimates/Tacticals. As much as I like the idea of new weapons I'd just like more loot in general. I'm not saying that Apex doesn't have enough loot or anything but as it stands with the one new weapon they have introduced it makes use of existing loot.
When we get new weapons I want them to introduce new attachments and hop-ups along with them for more variation.
