New Apex Legends Season 16 care package weapon getting "super buffed"

In keeping with the general rule set every battle royale shooter follows, quite an important part of Apex Legends' early game is looting; you really do need to set yourself up for success in these opening stages if you want to win. Unlike other battle royale games, though, Apex Legends players can find themselves finding some of the game's best weapons in periodically dropped care packages - or, craft them at any point in the Replicator. This season is changing quite a lot about Apex Legends, but not that - thankfully. So, if you're wondering what the Apex Legends Season 16 care package weapons are, and what you'll be able to build in the Replicator, you're in the right place - and one of these weapons is going to hit very hard.

Shared with press during a pre-release preview event of Season 16, Apex Legends' lead weapon designer Eric Canavese has confirmed that the Hemlock, a burst-fire assault rifle, is replacing the Rampage - so, expect to see this popular light machine gun back as floor loot.

It's our understanding that Apex Legends' RE-45, Bocek Bow, and the ever-popular Kraber will also be available in this battle royale's care packages. We haven't seen the latest set of Apex Legends patch notes yet, but we're expecting everything to be the same in terms of how these weapons come - meaning the RE-45 should still have Disruptor Rounds.
