Weapons from Titanfall 2 that were left behind

I'm a huge Titanfall 2 fanboy, and was very thankful when Respawn reused almost every weapon from the good old days.
BUT! There's still a few weapons that still haven't made it into Apex.

Here's some of the weapons from Titanfall 2 that i would like in Apex.

(The damage numbers are of course going to be changed if they will ever come to Apex, since there's a MASSIVE difference between Titanfall 2's and Apex Legends' HP system)



Volt - is an AR with pretty high accuracy, medium range and a decent fire rate. it has a magazine size of 33. I personally think that the magazine size should be around 20 and can, of course, be increased with a bigger magazine. I think Volt should use heavy ammo.

CAR - is a SMG (Kinda fells like an AR) with high accuracy, medium range and a high fire rate. I personally thinks its range and accuracy is a little too high for a high fire rate SMG. It has a magazine of 30. I think it should start at 25 and then work it's way up to 40. This one should use light ammo.

Now, i want to talk about something i know is going to get a lot of critism...
In Titanfall 2, there's 8 weapon Categories:

  • Assault Rifle
  • Sub-Machine Gun
  • Light Machine Gun
  • Sniper Rifle
  • Shotgun
  • Grenadier
  • Pistol
  • Anti-Titan

And i actually see a lot of potential in Grenadier (aka: Grenade Launcher)

There's 4 Grenadier weapons:

Sidewinder SMR - "Rapidly fires micro-missiles" is like an AR that shots bullets that make a really small explosion on impact. Really slow travel time.

EPG-1 - "Single fire, direct energy propelled launcher" Yes, single fire, really slow fire rate, slow travel time, high damage, explodes on impact and a very small magazine.

R-6P Softball - "Adhesive grenade launcher" It's the average grenade launcher that you kinda see en every shooter that has a grenade launcher. Decent travel time, medium bullet drop, sticks to the service that it hits, including players.

EM-4 Cold War - "4 -Round Burst Grenadier Weapon" This is possible my favorite wapon, of any game. It's so, dumb. But when you learn how to use it, you're unstoppable. It has a decent travel time, medium bullet drop. It shoots 4 energy bullets that explodes on impact. In Titanfall 2, you need to hit all shots near a full HP player to kill him.


First: I think that only the EPG-1 and the R-6P Softball should be added. Sidewinder SMR can be used as a main weapon against other players, but it's like a 50% Anti-Titan weapon and 50% primary weapon. So i think that a the Sidewinder SMR is going to be confusing and frustrating weapon in Apex. The EM-4 Cold War is best used when you're wall running (Which Apex don't have. F you, Respawn), or when you have decent high ground which is almost never the case in Apex.

Second: The Grenadier weapons should be in the Legendary category and should only be obtainable in normal airdrops (Non-Lifeline Airdrops)

Third: The Ammo type. Here i have a few ideas:
1.There would have to be added a whole new kind of ammo added: Rockets. Which is going to be a chaos to balance.
2. Their ammo would be limited, just like the Kraber and Mastiff. (This one seems like the most balanced option)
3. Since the EPG-1 is a"Direct energy propelled launcher" it would make sense if it required Energy ammo. In this case, one bullet should cost 4 energy ammo, and have either a magazine size of 12 (3 shots) or 20 (5 shots). I'm not going to suggest what its damage should be, since i'm not very good at that.
And the R-6P Softball: I don't know what already existing ammo type it should use, since it's kinda just shoots grenades (And that's the problem with #3) "The ammo could be normal frag grenades" No, don't even think about it!


And, yeah. That's some of my ideas for the left over weapons from Titanfall 2. I know that there's still the L-STAR (LMG) but i've never really used it in Titanfall 2 so much, so i don't feel comfortable talking about it.
Fell free to share your opinion!
Please justify your opinion if you disagree with some of these ideas!
And please don't start a fight...

  • Nice post man. 

    I wish I knew a lot more about titanfall2 but I'm down for new weapons. I wish I could add more than that.

    About the grenade launchers - I'm not against it. I think something like a nade launcher could seriously impact the game but that could be in a very good way. I'd say restricting them to drop only is the right call. 

  • Just to throw it in there.

    "What about the R-101?" Like, c'mon... 

    It's basically just a R-201 (Titanfall 2's version of R-301) with 2x-4x Variable Aog.

    The gun was a weak attempt to grab the players' attention.

  • I don't know much about Titanfall 2 either but i always hear positive feedbacks and i have to say i'm going to try it some time!

    Btw, this is a really nice topic and i have to say that grenadiers would be welcome by my side.

    I feel that atm all the characters and the weapons and really well balanced whitin the game and Apex can still expand in any direction: map, weapons, champions, modes. 

    I think that in the next future we're gonna have a lot of fun! 

  • The Volt is an energy SMG, kinda plays in between an SMG and AR.

    You forgot the L-star. Someone on here pointed out a pic of it already in the game files.

    I heard they were going to add the L-Star. Maybe we will see it this season.

  • I heard rumors that the L-Star would be a supply drop weapon only with infinite ammunition but an overheat mechanism to balance this out.

  • Yes, you're right. I forgot that the Volt is a SMG. I know that it shoots energy rounds in the Titanfall universe, but when it comes to balancing in Apex, i still think it should be a Heavy Ammo weapon, and should be moved to the Assault Rifle category, since it looks and feels more like an AR.

    And no, i didn't forget the L-STAR, i mentioned it near the end of my post and i didn't want to talk about it so much, since i'm not familiar with it in Titanfall 2 Multiplayer, and only used it once in the campaign for a few minutes. But i think it would be nice with another LMG, since there's only Spitfire and Devotion so far.
    I also agree that its magazine should be unlimited and a Legendary Airdrop only weapon, with a overheat system.

  • We really need more weapons and characters to work with in my opinion and seeing these Titanfall 2 weapons would be very nice.
