Respawn accidentally loses a new weapon in the Apex trailer

Respawn Entertainment admitted to accidentally leaking a new gun today Apex Legends trailer.

Following the release of the trailer for the new Evolution Collection event this morning, Respawn Director of Communications Ryan Rigney tweeted that “we accidentally disclosed an unpublished weapon in the new [Apex] ET trailer in the patch notes, but it’s not ready for release anytime soon.

The leaked pistol can be found in the above screenshot of Rampart’s Arenas Extravaganza takeover and in the patch notes for the new event. While showing the modified weapons that players can purchase, a weapon called Nemesis Burst AR can be seen in the middle of the screen, below the Devotion LMG.

The weapon has the exact same image as the R-301, which is likely a temporary icon while the weapon is in development. From its name, the Nemesis is an assault rifle with a burst fire mode, like the Hemlok or the Prowler. (Although the Prowler is technically an SMG, it’s best known for its burst fire.)

Rigney assured fans that the gun won’t be coming out anytime soon, so it looks like there is still some way to go before the Nemesis sees the light of day. Waiting for, Apex The Evolution collection event is scheduled to start on September 14.
