Season 6 of Apex Legends is around the corner, with a potentially related announcement happening later today, so obviously Respawn is laying on the teaser hype.
The Apex Legends Twitter account recently posted a mystery message that could be hinting at a new Legend ahead of an announcement planned for 19:00 SAST tonight.

But what does it all mean? This is a message for some sort of weaponsmith, called Parekh, left by an apparently deadly individual named Dion Bakar, asking for a discount on a modded pistol. This comes after a previous message left by Bangalore. My money’s on Parekh being a new Legend with some sort of weapon modification skills (perhaps turrets like one might use on a defensive rampart?).
It could also just be teasing a new gun, since people were so sad about not getting a new one for Season 5, which would be less exciting. On a related note, cryptic spray-painted messages have also been seen at Drill Site on the World’s Edge map. Whatever it all means, we’ll probably find out at 19:00 tonight.
Apex Legends Season 6 will probably begin around 18 August 2020, when the Battle Pass expires, but it could always end up delayed like Season 5.
