Apex Legends Mobile‘s third season, Champions, brought both a familiar faceplate and a familiar weapon to the game with the introduction of the merciless simulacrum Ash and Rampart’s weapon of choice, the Rampage LMG. But the mobile game’s developers recently told us that unlike previous seasons, no mobile-first legends are joining the game in Season 3 (meaning Season 3.5’s debut legend will also be a crossover from the console and PC version of Apex). But a recently added character emote suggests that legends won’t be the only ones making their way to the mobile game–in fact, another weapon may join the Rampage this season: The Bocek Compound Bow.
The emote appeared in a new Apex Legends Mobile store event called Divinity’s Blessing, which includes an array of cosmetic items featuring designs influenced and inspired by Greek mythology. All 12 cosmetic items have references to Greek gods and goddesses, like Loba’s Aphrodite Incarnate skin and the Athena’s Eye Kraber weapon skin. With so many gorgeous skins, it’s easy to overlook some of the other items in the collection. But a closer look at Rhapsody‘s Legendary-tier Archery character emote reveals something rather curious: The animation depicts her pulling out a Bocek, stringing an arrow, and firing it skyward before putting the bow away.
The Bocek Bow is one of a small number of weapons that have not yet crossed over to Apex Mobile from the console and PC version of the game, making its appearance in Rhapsody’s emote particularly odd. Its presence in the emote may very well be hinting that the Bocek will be the next weapon to hit the Apex Mobile weapons arsenal.
