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...

@Zeelmaekers P2020 with hammerpoint is crazy powerful. Powerful enough to actually make it worth trading off your 2nd weapon spot for it because once someone doesn't have shields, you 3shot them in a second.

We're not seeing people adopt it as quickly as disruptor but those hammerpoint weapons are definitely good enough now and don't need a buff.

I'd say P2020 with hopup is more beneficial to the user in the hands of someone good. Disruptor is just a lot easier to use because it isn't situational.

I would say the mozambique needs a further buff though.

Ask yourself this question,

If you HAD to run a shotgun as a secondary would you take a hopped mozambique or a peacekeeper?

@MandatoryIDtag Personally I'd take the bique if it was hopped up. I loathe the peacekeeper :P I'm in an extreme minority who would answer that question this way though.

  Im with you... i hate the peacekeeper... ill take a eva over it all day! Having one squadmate with disrupter and another with hammerpoint is a deadly combo...

@MandatoryIDtagBelieve me, even if you asked me this question pre-season 2 I would’ve said Mozambique. I’m just good with that weapon and like it alot more. Screw peacekeeper! Even killed of someone who had the L-star and I the mozambique from the carepackage :D

@Anlbrdyea! You got good taste mate!
p2020 and mozambique might be underused but thats because most ppl just don’t like ‘em. I dont like the p2020 except for early game. I can rock a mozambique all day and can say that if all pallets hit the target (so 45 dmg non hopup’d), with the hammerpoint it’s a one hit down/kill cause you do 109 dmg. Seen this myself in the situation mentioned above. This wasn’t even a headshot.
But the thing is, if you’re not standing really close to the target pallets will miss. That’s why this weapon is an extremely close range weapon

  Yeah it essentially acts as a double barrelled shotgun with the hop up, i personally prefer the added range of a peacekeeper. I'll take a precision choke over a hammerpoint any day. Just my personal opinion though haha.
