Respawn developer shares the reason behind Wattson’s awkward animations

Respawn’s principal animator Moy Parra recently took to Twitter to explain why Apex Legends character Natalie ‘Wattson’ Paquette holds her weapons “a bit awkwardly”, in a fun behind-the-scenes video.

The reason is because the motion capture was done by Parra’s niece, who had never held a gun before, “and we wanted to capture this natural innocence in all of Wattson’s move sets.”
