Apex Legends Season 8 will introduce gold magazines that automatically reload

Respawn is bringing gold magazines to Apex Legends next season, according to the description of today's gameplay trailer. The description has since been edited, but not before some eagle-eyed internet hounds took a screenshot of the text.

The trailer will likely show off new character Fuse's tactical and ultimate abilities - after which we'll hazard a guess at where he places on our Apex Legends tier list. We'll update that again once we've had a chance to play around with Fuse ourselves and see how he stacks up against the likes of Bloodhound and Horizon.

The description also explains exactly how the gold magazine will function, as most gold items build on the bonuses that the lower-level items give you while also offering an extra boost. We now have confirmation that the gold magazine is "capable of automatically reloading holstered weapons". This sounds like a game-changing benefit if you can get your hands on one, but Respawn's lead game designer Daniel Klein has some words of reassurance for those who think it will be overpowered.
