All light machine gun (LMG) nerfs for Apex Legends Season 13: Saviors

There are several different types of weapons in Apex Legends, from long-range to close-combat. That said, one of the most popular weapon classes shines the bright right in the middle at mid-range. That category is none other than the light machine guns or LMGs. However, for the new season, every weapon in the class is seeing a major nerf. Each nerf affects its respective weapon differently, but it is definitely going to change the LMG’s place in the meta of Apex Legends.
