Whether you're personally a fan of Apex Legends or not, the recent Beast of Prey collection event is proof that Respawn Entertainment's free-to-play shooter is one of the best battle royale games ever. However, there's always room for improvement and it's clear that the developers behind this competitive FPS game are always trying to find ways to build on the experience available. Why are we saying that? Well, Apex Legends' developers have been talking about prototype weapons online and, frankly, they just sound a little bonkers.
During a Reddit AMA where Apex Legends' developers talked about "weapons and legends", senior game designer Eric Canavese shared some insight into a handful of prototype weapons that never quite made it to the battle royale - and one of those was a shotgun with bouncing pellets.
Explaining this concept, Canavese detailed that "[Respawn Entertainment] prototyped a shotgun where each of the pellets was basically a bouncy ball... it was pure chaos. Each bounce reduced the damage of the pellet and it was designed to be sort of like a flushing out tool."
