Respawn has released a ton of R-99 skins since the launch of Apex Legends. However, here are our top ten R-99 skins to ever exist in the game. Apex Legends is a free-to-play first-person battle royale shooter inspired by Titanfall. Many weapons and characters originating in Titanfall made it to Apex Legends with little to no modifications. The R-99 is a submachine gun that shares similarities with other weapons in Apex Legends, such as the R-97. The SMG was initially introduced in Titanfall, and the other variant of the same SMG, called R-97, reappeared in Titanfall 2 with the name R-97 CN (Colonial Navy). After Apex Legends entered the battle royale genre, many streamers began playing the game for the first time and became addicted to it. Their favorite choice of weapons became the R-99, Peacekeeper, and Wingman. Playing with the R-99 was fun because of its fast firing rate. Consequently, beaming players with the R-99 had a different kind of satisfaction. Following the popularity of the R-99, Apex Legends developers released many good-looking skins for this compact machine gun, and people still use this gun despite having other alternatives. There hasn’t been much change to the R-99, such as other weapons in the game, throughout the seasons. Read More: Best Apex Legends Weapon Skins with Clean Iron Sights The R-99 Skins list was updated in Season 19 Ignite How Many R-99 Skins are there in Apex Legends? As of season 19, a total of 92 R-99 skins have been released in Apex Legends. Among these, 29 Legendary, 11 Epic, 38 Rare, and 16 Common skins are available for the R-99 SMG. Our 10 Favorite R-99 Skin Picks Apex Legends first launched in early 2019, and since then, Respawn has launched a miscellany of R-99 skins for its fans. The weapon has dropped in popularity since the launch of Apex Legends, yet it is still one of those guns players want to pick up if they see it lying in front of them on the ground. As mentioned earlier, Respawn has released a bunch of R-99 skins in the game, and they will continue to do so in the future. However, here are our 10 best R-99 skins that we think are the best in the game: 10. Wishbone IMAGE CREDIT: EA The Wishbone R-99 skin was introduced in the Chaos Theory Collection Event in season 8 of Apex Legends. While watching the skin, the first thing that came to our minds was the Honored Prey R-301 skin. There’s no doubt that the skin looks cool. However, because of its bulky appearance, sometimes it gets in the way while aiming. So, number 10 seems to be the sweet spot for Wishbone for now. TitleDescriptionRelease DateMarch 9, 2021Available viaChaos Theory CollectionAlternatives– 9. Magnum Opus IMAGE CREDIT: EA Just as the name suggests, the Magnum Opus is a work of art. It is arguably the most sophisticated R-99 skin in Apex Legends as of now. The skin is a recolor version of the Legendary R-99 skin called The Alchemist and can only be obtained through the store from time to time. TitleDescriptionRelease DateOn ReleaseAvailable viaDefault LegendaryAlternativesThe Alchemist, The Problem Solver, Death Reel 8. Sirens Song IMAGE CREDIT: EA Sirens Song has vibrant skin that is filled with colors and looks pleasant to the eye. Respawn made this skin available in the Dark Depths thematic event in season 11 of Apex Legends. This beautiful R-99 skin became a favorite to many Apex enthusiasts since its launch, and many Apex players currently own this skin. TitleDescriptionRelease DateJanuary 11, 2022Available viaDark Depths Themed EventAlternatives– 7. Dangerous Game IMAGE CREDIT: EA If gold-themed skins are your thing, this is the best R-99 skin you can get. Aside from the golden color combination with an off-white accent, this skin does not have much to offer, but there is something unexplainable that makes the skin look incredibly beautiful and one-of-a-kind. TitleDescriptionRelease DateJune 23, 2020Available viaLost Treasures CollectionAlternatives– 6. Sugar Rush IMAGE CREDIT: EA Sugar Rush was originally introduced in Mirage’s Holo-Day Bash Event 2019 and was featured again in a bundle in the Holo-Day Bash Event next year. This candy-like cosmetic is still one of the most unique and fan-favorite skins out there for R-99. TitleDescriptionRelease DateDecember 12, 2019Available viaHolo-Day Bash 2019 Collection Alternatives– 5. Symbiote CREDIT: EA Bundled with Pathfinder’s System Takeover skin, the Simbiote R-99 is one of the most gorgeous-looking skins in Apex Legends. This skin was released at the beginning of Season 15. TitleDescriptionRelease DateNovember 1, 2022Available viaDark Circuits Store SaleAlternatives– 4. Exsanguinator IMAGE CREDIT: EA Exsanguinator is the recolored version of Zero Point. The skin was released in Season 16, with the launch of the Death Dynasty Collection Event. Although Respawn previously said that they wouldn’t release pay-to-win skins anymore, the devs decided to release this one anyway. Despite having a clean iron sight, the problem with Zero Point R-99 skin was that it was too plain. However, the Exsanguinator does not only have the same design as Zero Point but also has an excellent look. So, it is not the bottom of the list anymore. TitleDescriptionRelease DateAugust 8, 2023Available viaDeath DynastyAlternativesZero Point 3. Totally Gnarly IMAGE CREDIT: EA Totally Gnarly is a recolor of a Legendary R-99 skin known as The Kill Switch. The blue, lime green, and orange color combination of the Totally Gnarly makes it one of the best-looking R-99 skins with a square iron sight. Any one of these skin collections, whether it’s a recolor or the original one, looks insanely good. The clean iron sight is also a cherry on top. TitleDescriptionRelease DateOn ReleaseAvailable viaDefault LegendaryAlternativesThe Kill Switch, Outlands Avalance, The Unloader 2. Core Fragment IMAGE CREDIT: EA Core Fragment is also a recolor of the already rare R-99 skin named The Paradigm Shifter. This glowing-hot, red-colored skin was made available at the Weapon Recolor Store during season 12 of Apex Legends. Unlike other recolor skins, players had to pay 1800 Apex coins to get this skin. TitleDescriptionRelease DateMarch 8, 2022Available viaWeapon Recolor Store Sale AlternativesThe Paradigm Shifter 1. Cutting Edge IMAGE CREDIT: EA Cutting Edge was the reactive battle pass exclusive skin released in season 7 of Apex Legends. It is a slick, bright white skin that catches the eyes and makes you more confident while playing with it. This skin could only be acquired by completing the premium battle pass level 100, so it is one of the rarest skins in Apex Legends. TitleDescriptionRelease DateNovember 4, 2022Available viaAscension Battle PassAlternativesRevolutionary Will past R-99 event skins ever return? The event skins and recolor skins may come to the store eventually, and you still may have the chance to get skins such as Magnum Opus, Core Fragment, and Flash of Fury. However, R-99 skins such as Cutting Edge and Zero Point that originated from the battle pass will not return to the Apex Legend store. However, Respawn has announced that battle pass skins from Season 11 and onwards may be available in an event-specific skin package in the future. Upcoming R-99 Skins There has been no updated information on any future R-99 skins in the game as of the time this is being written. More R-99 skins will be shown as soon as they are revealed or leaked. In the meantime, check out the Upcoming Leaked Skins article to find any forthcoming skins that will be available in the future.

With the new Apex Legends x Final Fantasy Rebirth Event, there is now a common heirloom usable by any legend. Apex Legends has been the leading Battle Royale game in the gaming community for a while. Unlike its counterparts, Apex is a fast-paced game with legends’ abilities augmenting the experience but not overly defining it. Each character adds some depth to the world, with some players attuning to their personalities. The cosmetics in the game add to this, with each legend having their own set of unique cosmetics, particularly heirlooms. For the first time, Respawn has added a common heirloom in Apex that can be used by any legend. With the new Final Fantasy Rebirth Event, the Buster Sword R5 has been added in both a themed BR Takeover as well as through event packs. Read More: Upcoming Store Rotation Skins in Apex Legends What is the New Common Heirloom item in Apex? The new Buster Sword will be very recognizable to Final Fantasy fans. Well, Apex players can now wield their power in one of two variants. Players can find the Buster Sword R2R5 with multiple gameplay abilities in the BR Takeover. These range from having light & heavy attacks blocking, and dashing. The other is the unlockable Buster Sword R5. https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/apex-legends/common/apex-legends-x-ff7/ff7-event-buster-sword.mp4 How to Get the Buster Sword R5? To get the unlockable variant, you have to unpack the event packs. Remember, unlike other Collection Event Heirlooms, it is not the final reward. You will randomly get the Buster Sword R5 in one of the event packs. Unlocking the weapon will make it a Universal Mythic Melee Cosmetic. In simpler terms, it’s an heirloom for everyone. Players can equip it in place of their fists and have a giant sword ready to defeat every enemy. Will it be Available After the Event Ends? Respawn has stated that the sword will not be coming to the Mythic Shop after the event ends. This is the first time Respawn has added an heirloom tiered melee weapon available for every legend in the game. So, something like this might not return in the future. So, If you want it, you have to try your luck!

For the first time ever, Respawn is having a crossover event with Final Fantasy. The event will include some Iconic skins and, most importantly, an exclusive melee weapon! Unlike Fortnite and Call of Duty, Apex Legends typically didn’t collaborate with other media franchises. However, in Season 19, Respawn collaborated with Post Malone and featured him in Apex Legends, bringing unique cosmetic items and a brand-new LTM. While it looked like a one-time thing for Apex to make an official collaboration, Respawn proved it wrong by introducing yet another crossover event with Final Fantasy. And this time, Respawn is going all out with the Apex Legends x Final Fantasy VII Rebirth event. Now, we’ll go through everything that you can expect from this event. Read More: Upcoming Store Rotation Skins in Apex Legends Final Fantasy VIII Takeover credit: ea Final Fantasy VII fans will be able to get a taste of their favorite hack-and-slash entertainment in Apex Legends. With the Apex Legends x Final Fantasy takeover, players will be able to wield the Buster Sword R2R5, which will have gameplay abilities and can be picked up and used as a weapon throughout the takeover. You will do basically everything that a Buster Sword R2R5 can. Light attack, heavy attack, block, dash, everything can be done. You can also fill your meter to use the quintessential Limit Break. The more you deal, take, and block damage, the faster your meter will fill. If you don’t find a Buster Sword R2R5 hot off your drop, keep an eye out for them in Care Packages and around the map. credit: Ea While you’re on the hunt for the ultimate weapon, look for Materia Hop-Ups for increased effects and/or bonuses.

The store will also feature Iconic skins for Horizon and Newcastle. https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/apex-legends/common/apex-legends-x-ff7/ff7-event-skins.mp4 All 36 items (including the Buster Sword R5 Melee Cosmetic) will be randomly awarded via event packs with no duplicates of event items. The Buster Sword R5 (unlike the Takeover’s Buster Sword R2R5) is a Universal Mythic Melee Cosmetic that has no gameplay abilities and can be equipped in place of your heirloom or fists. The sword will not be coming to the Mythic Shop after the event ends, so unlock it while you can! 6 Iconic Legend skins will also be available for direct purchase via the store. As you continue to collect items, keep an eye out for Milestone Rewards, which are given after each milestone on the event packs page is hit. https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/apex-legends/common/apex-legends-x-ff7/ff7-event-buster-sword.mp4 Complete your Apex Legends & Final Fantasy VII Rebirth collection before the event ends and you’ll automatically receive the One-Winged Angel Death Box — a brand new cosmetic item to Apex Legends that is equipable by any Legend via the new Lobby Melee tab. Gil and Reward Shop Earn Gil, an event currency, while playing the event mode and completing challenges to use in the Rewards Shop to unlock event-limited items. The Reward Shop will rotate inventory weekly and feature select event items, badges, and more. Keep an eye out for event packs to help with your crossover collection. You can also use Gil to earn additional Battle Pass Stars to continue your seasonal progress. Challenges refresh daily, and you’ll want to complete as many as possible to earn the full amount of Gil.
