How Replicator-exclusive crafted weapons work in Apex Legends

For a long time, there have been two options for acquiring weapons in Apex Legends: ground loot or a Supply Drop. However, for Season 12, there is now a third option: Replicator weapons. There was a brief taste of crafted weapons back when the Replicator was first introduced in Season 6, and now they're back in a whole new way.

There used to be weapons available at random each day that would not spawn on the ground. The weapons, however, would go back to normal the next day. This is no longer the case. Replicators once again have weapons in them, but the chosen guns will Replicator-only for the entire season, the same way that Supply Drop weapons are locked. Each Replicator weapon costs 30 Crafting Materials, and comes with no kit, but does give the player two boxes of ammo.

The Replicator-exclusive weapons crafted weapons will be removed from the loot pool in Battle Royale, but not from the Arenas Shop. Weapons will become Replicator-exclusive crafted weapons in sets of two. For Season 12: Defiance, the Replicator Exclusive weapons are the VK-47 Flatline Assault Rifle and the Longbow DMR Sniper Rifle.
