The Mozambique Hammerpoint attachment is make the shotgun a key part of the metagame inApex Legendsseason 2 . The Mozambique shotgun inApex Legendshad become an in - game joke of sorts among players , and even the development squad . Respawn in reality went as far as to make a unequalled animation of its characters throwing the gun away in disgust whenever it was traded for a different weapon system in King ’s Canyon . However , withseason 2 ofApex fable , the gun has gotten a huge boost with a new record hop up fastening called Hammerpoint .
What the hop up does is increase equipment casualty done to players once their shell is gone .

Kotakudiscovered that the Mozambique scattergun ’s newfound power was quickly picked up by the game ’s community . Now it ’s not at all surprising to see instrumentalist running the Mozambique , P2020 , RE-45 , or Alternator in the terminal moments of a mate . Both the RE-45 and Alternator have received attachments that mate really well with Hammerpoint hop up weapons . The freshly tote up Disruptor Rounds hop up allow players to do more damage to shielded targets , intend that you could quickly melt somebody ’s shell and then cursorily trade over to your Hammerpoint gun to take out their health bar . It ’s an incredibly hearty combo that ’s really surprising to see coming from guns that were once considered unusable in the late plot . You just have to find all the good attachment before you may make it puzzle out .
On top of those fresh plus , the P2020 and Alternator have received a base terms increase making them better as early game pickups even without their novel fastening . Shotguns have incur an overall nerf to ammo stacks . Players were once able to typically run around with one stack of 64 shotgun rounds for an intact biz . But now , dozens are only confine to 16 round meaning you ’ll have to give some serious inventory space if you ’re running the Peacekeeper or EVA-8 . Since the Mozambique only uses three rounds a cartridge holder , the job is mitigated a bit , and it actually might be more utile to hold onto throughout a equal as opposed to the previously mentioned weapons .
Energy weapons also received a lot of support in the Season 2 update . TheHavoc , Triple Take , and Devotion all bugger off young attachments in the form of extensive Department of Energy magazines , making them each more effective in foresighted battle . moreover , after the Wingman received a nerf to its magazine size of it follow fan recoil earlier on when the game released , the gunman ’s Skullpiercer bond has increase in rarity so it ’ll be harder to find on the game ’s mathematical function .
base on these new additions , it ’ll be really fascinating to see how theApex Legendsmetagame alteration as the time of year continues to rove on . The biggest change to the plot right now not only come in the form of gun rebalancing , but a novel caption namedWattson , as well as extremist change to the overall mathematical function . It for sure has breathed new life into the title after itspopularity set out to wanea few months following its release . If Respawn can continue to add and make meaningful changes to the overall game , hopefully , its player stem will flummox around .
