In Apex Legends there are numerous Easter eggs hidden, which players are likely to rarely see. These are specific animations that do not always appear or only under certain circumstances. One of them is likely to be very familiar to players.
This is the weapon: We are talking about the legendary rifle M1 Garand. The M1 Garand is likely known to many shooter fans who grew up with the early installments of Call of Duty. Fortnite has also taken the M1 Garand as a model.
The semi-automatic rifle is loaded from above with cartridges and has a unique, iconic sound when ejecting the cartridge.
In Apex Legends, the G7 Scout, a rifle with similar functionality, is sometimes reloaded in a way that resembles the M1 Garand.
The reload animation is apparently an Easter egg meant to remind players of the M1 Garand.
When does the animation appear? The special reload animation is not standard for the G7 Scout, whose magazine is actually inserted from below. However, some players are convinced that it is reloaded this way when the entire magazine has been fired.
If you fire the last round and let the game reload for you, this animation is supposedly triggered. This supports the connection to the M1 Garand, as its characteristic sound also only occurs with the last round.
Are there more of them?
There are more Easter eggs: In Apex Legends, there are more Easter eggs to be found that the developers have scattered. We have already highlighted two of them:
There are also more of these special animations: There are also more special animations than just the reload animation of the G7 Scout. Several other weapons and also legends have special movement patterns under certain circumstances:
- The Peacekeeper is reloaded rotating when you are on a zipline
- Mirage dances while he aims (iron sights/ADS)
- Octane sometimes does “jazz hands” or balances with his syringe after injecting adrenaline
- Wraith very rarely shows the “OK” sign after her tactical ability
For some of these Easter eggs, the YouTuber Sethly has made a short video:
