R-99 mythic skin leak
Apex Legends leakers have uncovered that the R-99 SMG will soon be receiving its very first mythic skin. According to trusted insider Hypermyst, the skin is currently in very early stages of development, but a couple of 3D renders have already surfaced. These previews give players a glimpse of how Respawn is planning to evolve one of the game’s most popular close-range weapons into a mythic-tier cosmetic.
The R-99 mythic skin is expected to arrive in season 27, though Respawn has not officially confirmed details about its design or unique animations. Given how previous mythic skins introduced reactive effects and exclusive finishes, fans can expect the R-99 version to follow the same high standards.
