Which LMG is getting a reactive skin in Apex Legends Season 26?
Season 26 of
Apex Legends
is just around the corner, and fans are already buzzing about what's next in the Battle Pass. One of the biggest highlights each season? The coveted reactive weapon skin.
While nothing is officially confirmed yet, the community believes they've spotted the next lucky gun to get a glow-up.
And all signs point to one energy weapon that's been waiting for its turn.
Is the L-Star Getting a Reactive Skin?
Leakers and data miners have dropped hints, and the chatter on X (formerly Twitter) is loud: the L-Star EMG is likely getting its first-ever reactive skin in Season 26.
The L-Star is no stranger to
Apex Legends
veterans. This energy LMG has seen its ups and downs in the meta buffed, nerfed, sidelined, and revived. But what it
hasn't
had is a reactive skin.
That may finally change.
What the Leaks Say
According to a recent post by trusted leaker @HYPERMYSTx, a new skin design for the L-Star was spotted in what appears to be early development renders. The details?
Color scheme
: Sleek black and white base
Accent tones
: Electric blue highlights
Design cues
: Crystal-like magazine and segmented stock
The magazine looks eerily similar to the Nemesis reactive skin from Season 25, hinting at a design evolution that fans of energy weapons will appreciate.
What Makes Reactive Skins Special?
For newcomers: reactive skins aren't just cosmetic; they evolve. Each elimination in a match powers up the skin's appearance.

That means you start a game with a cool-looking gun and end it with an absolute visual flex if you're racking up kills.
Past reactive skins, like those for the R-99, Hemlok, and Alternator, had glowing effects, shifting patterns, and even custom inspect animations. The L-Star's version is expected to follow suit, with fragmented moving parts and possibly a custom reload animation.

Why the L-Star Makes Sense
Here's why the L-Star is a solid pick for Season 26's reactive skin:
It hasn't had one yet
- Most fan-favorite weapons already have theirs.
Recent buffs
– Respawn has been quietly tweaking the L-Star, potentially setting it up for a return to relevance.
Themed continuity
– If the leak is accurate, its visual design complements Season 25's reactive Nemesis, suggesting a deliberate style trend.
Final Thoughts (But No Confirmation… Yet)
As of now, Respawn or EA haven't confirmed anything officially. But when the leaks start aligning with in-game trends and design patterns, there's usually fire behind the smoke.
If you're an L-Star main, or just love reactive skins, you might want to start grinding that Battle Pass the moment Season 26 drops.
Stay tuned. The legends never stay quiet for long.

Saiyaara leaps to 62nd spot in all-time biggest Hindi hits, outpaces Shah Rukh Khan's Dilwale, Salman Khan's Bodyguard and Prabhas's Salaar:Part 1- Ceasefire
Mohit Suri's directorial venture, Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has become a box office sensation. The romantic drama has swiftly climbed to 62nd position among Hindi cinema's biggest hits, amassing Rs 153.25 crore in just six days. Saiyaara has surpassed major films like Dilwale, Bodyguard, and Salaar, driven by strong word-of-mouth and consistent weekday collections. In a stunning box office run, Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , has surged from the 84th to the 62nd position on the list of the biggest Hindi hits of Indian cinema within just 24 hours. With its 6-day total now standing at an impressive Rs 153.25 crore, the romantic drama has officially leapfrogged major Bollywood hits including Shah Rukh Khan 's Dilwale (Rs 148.42 Cr), Salman Khan 's Bodyguard (Rs 148.52 Cr), and even the high-profile Salaar: Cease Fire – Part 1 (Rs 152.65 Cr). This unexpected climb reflects not just a growing word-of-mouth wave, but also the sharp rise in weekday collections that signal strong audience retention. After a thunderous Rs 21.5 crore opening on Friday, the film jumped to Rs 26 crore on Saturday, followed by a stellar Rs 35.75 crore on Sunday. While Monday usually sees a drop, Saiyaara held well with Rs 24 crore, and then bounced back on Tuesday to Rs 25 crore, showing a rare 4.17% jump mid-week. Wednesday's early estimate of Rs 21 crore sealed its entry into the Rs 150 crore club, and more crucially, into the elite list of top 65 Hindi films of all time. What's remarkable is how Saiyaara has managed to outperform films backed by massive star power and colossal budgets. While Dilwale (featuring SRK and Kajol) and Bodyguard (starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor ) came with pre-installed fanbases, Saiyaara has largely relied on emotional storytelling, soulful music, and fresh faces. Even Salaar, headlined by pan-India star Prabhas and made on a over Rs 200 crore budget, has now been overtaken in the Hindi domestic made more than Rs 400 crore across Hindi , Telugu and other languages. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo With one more weekday and a second weekend ahead, many now believe Saiyaara could enter the top 50 club, possibly overtaking films like Sitaare Zameen Par, Raid 2 and Bajirao Mastani to break into the Top 50. For Mohit Suri, this marks a career-high resurgence after a hiatus, and for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, it sets a dreamlike debut benchmark. The industry is taking note — not just of the numbers — but of the shift in audience preferences, where performance and content can now triumph over brand value and spectacle. As of now, Saiyaara stands tall at No. 62 — but it's clear this journey is far from over.

Recently, a new one came to light involving a top WNBA player who expressed her issues with the league's officiating. This came at the expense of the song of music icon, Sabrina Carpenter , which became a catalyst for her voice against the NBA referees on the social media platform, TikTok. Which WNBA player used Sabrina Carpenter's song to mock officials on TikTok? In a recent video uploaded on her TikTok, Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham decided to fire shots at the WNBA officials. She lip-synced Sabrina Carpenter's popular song, 'Manchild', particularly at some specific lyrics, "Stupid, or is it slow, or is it useless."In the video, she sang and tagged 'some refs' in the caption. Later on, in a tweet via her official X account, Cunningham revealed that she had been fined $500 by the WNBA for her TikTok shenanigans. She wrote, 'I got fined $500 for this TikTok 🤣🤣 idk why this is funny to me… like ok 👍🏼 you got it bud! Cause there's not more important things to be worried about with our league right now.' This has led to a debate regarding player's freedom of expression of their grievances against the league. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60m2 prefabricated bungalow for the elderly in Cibinong Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo While the incident drew major attention, Cunningham, so far, has been let go with a fine and not other severe consequences, even though her actions were directed straight towards the working of the WNBA. Sophie Cunningham came to the defense of her teammate recently Sophie Cunningham has been seen as an outspoken player who is not afraid to voice their opinion. The woman, who has come to be known as 'The Enforcer' of the Fever, recently came to the defense of her teammate and one of the WNBA's biggest names, Caitlin Clark. She had been a target for many of her opponents on the court. On numerous occasions, she faced rough treatment, especially in the early weeks of her second season. This also included a run-in with her nemesis, Jacy Sheldon. She apparently poked Clark in the eye in the third quarter, and Marina Mabrey shoved her to the floor. This led to Sophie coming for some payback by wrapping Sheldon's neck and dragging her to the ground just as she was going for a basket in the final moments of the match between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun. With Indiana cruising to a win, Sheldon was driving to the basket in the final minute when the Fever's newest enforcer wrapped her up around her neck area and dragged her down to the ground. While Cunningham faced ejection from the game and fines, it can be said that she is not willing to back down from injustice or mistreatment in the WNBA.
