What Is the CAR SMG in Apex Legends?


The CAR SMG is finally coming to Apex Legends, after months of teasing and speculation. The Titanfall crossover weapon makes its debut in Respawn's battle royale during Apex Legends Season 11, which launches November 11, just after the Monsters Within wraps up.
