While we wait for Respawn to release the battle pass, we are served with another tantalizing leak.

Data miners have been toiling and have found a few points of interest in the game code which refers to what seems to be an Apex Legend NPC, and amongst other things, a flamethrower. Yes, a flamethrower.

Data miner RealApexLeaks found some files that indicated that a flamethrower-based weapon might be added into the game. Another interesting piece of data mined within the files is a deployable remote turret. All these leaks were followed up with a tweet about a leaked NPC code that contained actions such as disabling turrets, completing assaults, or using cover.

LEAK: More info on the Previously leaked NPCs. I’ll just tweet the pictures in parts. You can add comments if you want me to explain.

The leaks imply that there might be a new layer of strategy involved in Apex Legends as the NPCs might be capable to perform complex actions, downright putting them within the lines of being a teammate.

It’s also speculated that these leaks might be part of a new game mode, or replace teammates who disconnect mid-match.

LEAK: Something about a flamethrower was found in the game files. I don’t exactly know what it does (I’m Dumb, Idk how a flamethrower works).

These leaks might point to another game mode, as speculated before, bringing a whole new dimension to the game. Possibly even rivalling that of Fortnite with its Save The World mode.

Whatever it may be, we should wait for more confirmation as a leak is still a leak; something that should be taken with a grain of salt.
