Apex Legends Leak Suggests a Mode Like Call of Duty’s Gun Game Could Be Added

gamerant.com:

It's not particularly strange to see a game as fluid and ever-changing as Apex Legends leaking like a sieve. Whether it's through unofficial channels such as data miners, or through some accidental reveal that happens purely by happenstance, the game's upcoming content often gets spoiled well ahead of its release.

Something similar may well be happening just now, in fact, with Apex Legends' rumored Gun Game mode. This limited-time mode (LTM) seems to be making its way into the game according to dataminer HYPERMYST, who just posted some interesting voice lines from the alleged Gun Game announcer.

HYPERMIST, who is responsible for a very wide variety of previous Apex Legends datamines, didn't mince any words about this particular leak. They claim that the voice lines in question, which talk about a team's progression through the match via point tallying, are sourced from an upcoming limited-time game mode that's been inspired by Call of Duty's Gun Game. Here, players upgrade their weapons from one tier to another by taking down foes, but Apex Legends' supposed upcoming iteration of the mode has a special twist on the core mode formula, by the looks of it.

Namely, Apex Legends' Gun Game may be a team effort. Whereas the mode is a solo endeavor in most of its iterations, HYPERMIST's datamine suggests that players will be joining forces to score points, instead. Presumably, this means that the whole team's arsenal upgrades as they progress, which may well lead to even more hate for Apex Legends' detested Charge Rifle, if it ends up being included in the gun roster.

It goes without saying that Respawn Entertainment hasn't come out to confirm that there's a Gun Game LTM coming in
