Apex Legends Season 12: 10 best R-99 weapon skins ranked

sportskeeda.com:

Since its release in February 2019, Apex Legends has always stood out for its variety of cosmetics.

The developer, Respawn Entertainment, has a different approach to its weapon skin management in Apex Legends. Players can buy Apex coins and get multiple skins through the Apex Store, or they can craft weapon skins using Crafting Materials.

Every season, Respawn offers plenty of weapon skins and charms for players to add to their inventory. The weapon skins are not just magnificent in terms of looks, sometimes, they add more to the weapon itself.

With some minor tweaks to the build mechanism, these skins can really affect the iron sight of the guns. Due to this, players can have a massive upper hand in gunfights. However, the way the cosmetics change the build mechanism sometimes affects the game’s promise to have fair and square gameplay and make it a pay-to-win contest.

The R-99 SMG (Sub Machine Gun), also called The R-99, is one of the best late-game SMGs available in Apex Legends. The insane fire rate it possesses melts players in a split second. It has been around since the game's release and is still stronger and more viable than ever.

With its high pick rate, players also like to have different skins on their R-99. There are a total of 78 skins available for this gun. It consists of 24 Legendary skins, 7 Epic skins, 31 Rare skins, and 16 Common skins.

In this article, we will rank the top 10 R-99 cosmetics available in Apex Legends in the midst of Season 12: Defiance.

This skin has a similar look to the Magnum Opus skin in Apex Legends. However, the color palette is pretty different. It has a gold and gray body with some greenish touches near the rear grip and stock. In terms of looks, this skin is pretty decent looking.
