Update 22/02: The arrival of the L-STAR seems to be taking shape. New traces of the weapon have been found in the game files. First of all its visuals, but also a possible release date. The L-STAR EMG could be available March 2, although this date remains to be confirmed.
Respawn seems to have decided to water Apex Legends with new content to surf on its enormous popularity. In addition to the Havoc, new rifle recently discovered, a new weapon has been discovered via the game files. This is the The EMG Star, which would be a machine gun. Here is the first information known about it.
According to the data collected via the game files, it would be a weapon inflicting 21 damage per shot, and 42 per headshot, slightly more than the M600 Spitfire. The L-Star EMG, on the other hand, would have a rather low rate of fire and accuracy. On the other hand, no information on the possible accessories or its visual have yet leaked.
It now remains to be seen when Respawn intends to add this new weapon to Apex Legends.
