Alongside Crypto were some of the fan-favorite characters such as BloodHound, Caustic and Lifeline who could be found roaming the floor at TwitchCon ahead of the Apex Legends Twitch Rivals event which kicks off on September 29.

Many fans at the venue recognized that the Toxic Trapper, Caustic’s cosplayer was carrying a weapon that has not yet made its appearance in the popular battle royale game.
The replica gun looked similar to one of the weapons seen in EA’s Titanfall 2 named the CAR SMG and many suspect that players could soon see the submachine gun added as part of the Season 3 update.

The only weapon confirmed for Season 3 so far is the Charge Rifle, which looks like it will be an energy-based weapon that will release a direct beam of energy instead of firing rounds.
Fans of Apex Legends won’t have to wait much longer to see what Season 3 brings as the new season is only days away from launching on October 1.
