Apex Legends: Fan makes amazing replica of Valkyrie's Missile Swarm
An Apex Legends fan has made a full-scale replica of the custom missile launcher belonging to Valkyrie.
In a Reddit post, a user named ToneIsDark posted a clip of the launcher in action, showing off that it actually works.
His missile launcher functions in exactly the same way as Valkyrie’s in Apex Legends.
It’s strapped to his back with a harness and the launcher is able to move and rotate. It follows the movement of ToneIsDark’s hands, too, just as Valkyrie’s does in the game.
It’s impressive enough that the home-made launcher looks exactly like Valkyrie’s, as it has the same colour scheme too, but the fact that it works takes it up a notch.
Fireworks can be seen flying out of the launcher in the video that the user posted, and GameSpot has reported that Tone claims the launcher can fire 19 shots in quick succession.
Tone is an engineering student and he claims that the design and building process of the weapon only took two months.
However, he intends to make it even better.
Per Gamespot, he said: “It can move and shoot well, but yeah, there will be adjustments eventually for a future model which I hopefully will wear while firing. With this [current] model, due to the force exerted by the fireworks I’m currently using, the motors struggle a lot with stability during the actual firing process.
“I didn’t have time to exchange the motors for stronger ones as this would consist of redesigning and printing the motor housings and attachments and adjusting the circuit to allow for the stronger motors, but in a future model I would love to give this a try.”
He added: “There was an endless list of tasks to complete, and each one of those had an endless list of its own.
“The reason for the deadline is because I was going to
