Respawn has released a ton of Flatline skins since the launch of Apex Legends. However, here are our top ten Flatline skins to ever exist in the game.
Respawn Entertainment stunned the video gaming world by releasing Apex Legends, which is basically a battle royale spin-off of their Titanfall franchise. Aside from a fresh new take on the battle royale genre with hero shooter-like abilities, the gunplay and ease of movement also made the game stand out amongst the sea of other battle royale games.
On top of that, the game initially launched with a pretty diverse roster of firearms. From sharpshooting sniper rifles to skill-focused weapons, Apex packed quite a punch in its weapon department.
Among them, Flatline stood out from the crowd as a reliable competitor to the beloved R-301. As most of the weapons were originally from Titanfall, diehard fans of the Titanfall franchise already expected them to show up in one form or another.
As it is an assault rifle, it packs quite a punch. However, it is also really difficult to control at further distances due to the heavy recoil. Despite that, this AK-47 look-alike cemented itself as part of the weapon meta in Apex Legends.
Since Apex Legends is a free-to-play game with in-game microtransactions, players can choose to spend real-world money to customize their play sessions. As such, over the years, Respawn has released quite a few amusing skins for the Flatline.
The Flatline Skins tier list was last updated during Season 19.
How Many Flatline Skins are There in Apex Legends?
Right now, in season 19 of Apex Legends, 92 skins for Flatline are available. Among them, a total of 26 Legendary, 16 Epic, 35 Rare, and 16 Common skins have been released so far.
Our 10 Most Favorite Flatline Skins
Apex Legends first launched in early 2019, and since then, Respawn has launched a handful of Flatline 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 Flatline 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:
1. Heat Sink

Heavy Metal
Heat Sink was released back in season 4 as a part of the exclusive battle pass level 100 reactive skin. Since this was exclusive to battle pass completionists, it has slowly become one of the game’s rarest and most sought-after Flatline skins.
The old battle pass skins are becoming more desirable by the Apex community as time goes by. Understandably, this one and its other metallic recolor, called “Heavy Metal,” are considered to be the best Flatline skins in the entire game. Unfortunately, this skin won’t be available to purchase again as this was a battle pass exclusive skin.
2. Revelations
