How do you feel about the new hop-ups?
I'm personally not a fan of the Alternator, P2020 hop-ups. One of the things I love most about Apex is the fairly long time to kill. After the update, Apex feels more along the lines of a generic twi...

@Neil_Enbob An alternator with the hopup and full mag basically is a gold weapon.
It does feel a little bit too strong still though. Not much but enough that its noticeable. It might be a good idea if they made the hopup for alternator make the gun do less damage to health as the trade-off for more damage to armor. The range on it is ridiculous as well for an SMG. Might be an idea to make it slightly faster firing but make it have serious bulletdrop so it really is an up close and personal weapon. With a 2x4 scope on it at the minute I still feel fairly confident going up against people with weapons that should outrange me.
P2020 to be honest I don't mind at the minute. Switching to a finisher and getting off your shots isn't as easy as is being made out by some people I play with. If it was they'd all be doing it. The gun is still hot garbage until someone's armor is gone.
A decent way of balancing the P2020 would be to lower the bodyshot value and increase the headshot value if they really HAVE TO change it.
If the p2020 was any weaker with the hopup then it wouldn't really have a place in the game. You're sacrificing 1 of your weapon slots to have a situationally powerful gun.
