Apex Legends leaks hint at vehicles coming in Season 7
Respawn EntertainmentSome new leaked animations in Apex Legends are potentially hinting at vehicles coming to the popular battle royale title in Season 7.
As far as battle royale games go, Apex Legends is one of the last that doesn’t offer players vehicles for faster rotation and to hit different areas of the map quicker. The likes of Warzone and Fortnite have had vehicles for mobility for a long time at this point, while Apex players haven’t had that opportunity.
That said, always looking for ways to offer fans something fresh and exciting in the game, the Apex devs appear to be following suit, if recent leaks are anything to go by.
On top of a weapon charm, some new animations definitely look to prove that we’re getting vehicles sooner rather than later.
As shared by renowned dataminer Shrugtal on Twitter, the Ride Share charm has two passenger seats alongside the driver’s seat, and it’s a hover vehicle.
Just saying… the quest end charm has a driver's seat and two passenger ones on the side… and it's a hover vehicle…
But I should probably make a video on this with the supporting code. pic.twitter.com/tg9tjA1b9o

That’s not all, though: he found some new animations that all but confirm the existence of vehicles in the Apex Games.
As you can see in this tweet below, there are animations in the 6.1 patch for a driver and passenger hovering while seated — perfectly fitting for a Hover Vehicle.

As many people have pointed out, the current Apex Legends maps, World’s Edge and Kings Canyon, are a fair share smaller than maps in other battle royale titles, so vehicles may not be as fitting in the game as they are in others. One common theory is that the vehicles may be on rails, similar to the train, rather than being drivable for players to freely traverse the map.
However, the new Olympus map has been speculated about for months now, so it is absolutely possible that they come into the game purely for that — also suggesting that Olympus will be the game’s biggest map yet.
Right now, we can’t confirm for absolute certainty that this means vehicles will be coming to the game, and we should never take leaks as gospel, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see this happen. The big question is how it all plays out.
