Apex Legends' Eclipse update changing weapon meta with hop-up shake up

The Apex Legends Season 15 release time is creeping up on us and Respawn Entertainment has just dropped a brand new set of Apex Legends patch notes, detailing some of the major changes coming to the battle royale shooter in the Eclipse update. One thing that's worth talking about is how the developers are taking on the game's weapon meta by shaking up the hop-ups that are available in-game.


If your go-to battle royale loadout includes a G7 Scout or an EVA-8 with Double Tap Trigger, you're in luck. This hop-up is going to remain as floor loot in Apex Legends' Eclipse update. However, as per this set of Apex Legends patch notes, it's going to be legendary floor loot going forwards.


Interestingly, though, this should be much more valuable to those of you using the light ammo marksman rifle. Going forward, the Double Tap Trigger hop-up should offer something of an improved recoil pattern when used with the G7 Scout - something we're sure a lot of fans will be happy with.
