Apex Legends will introduce the new 30-30 Repeater Rifle in Season 8. It also appears to be the same weapon that the new Legend Fuse is wielding in his new promotional material.

Fuse is on his way to the Apex Legends universe. He’s coming from a new planet – called Salvo – and he’s bringing with him his intimidating-looking 30-30 Repeater Rifle.

Despite the fact we are still deep into Season 7 territory, players can’t help but wonder what’s around the corner. Well after the recent reveal of new Legend Fuse, eager battle royalers now have a new toy to get their excited hands-on in a few weeks.

30-30 Repeater Rifle in Apex Legends Season 8

In terms of what ammo the gun will take, the dev stream showed the Repeater Rifle near some Heavy Ammo. This could be an indicator of which type of ammo it needs. However, the official description explains that it functions on ‘hard-hitting rounds’. So whether it’s perhaps Sniper ammo or even a new, niche variety, remains to be seen.

Given that it’s a Lever-Action Rifle, we wouldn’t be surprised to see some scopes being attached to it to improve its long-range capabilities. There are also the usual possibilities of new barrels, stocks, and extended mags. But again, Respawn may decide to single the 30-30 Repeater out and individualize some of its aspects.

The Rifle is expected to be a great risk and reward weapon with accurate shots capable of inflicting incredible amounts of damage. But it will equally punish wayward players that don’t make their shots count.

Finally, the weapon is expected to be accompanied by at least 16 common and rare skins, five Epic skins, and three Legendary ones as well.

Fuse in Apex Legends Season 8

Season 7 of Apex Legends was an odd one in that it reintroduced some old content – in the form of the new Olympus map and R-99 loot – but didn’t add any news guns.

Eagle-eyed players that watched the dev streams in the past knew there was extra content lingering in Apex Legends somewhere.

Respawn Entertainment’s introduction of Fuse has certainly got the community excited for his arrival. This is how our newest Legend is described on the official Apex Legends website:

“Fuse doesn’t lack confidence, but he often lacks a plan. He’s a blow-up-first ask-questions-later kinda guy.”

We’ll have more information on the 30-30 Repeater, Fuse, and more as Respawn continues to dish out the details about the upcoming Season 8 of Apex Legends.
