L-Star
I think the L-star needs a bit of love, it feels quite inconsistent at the moment and I tend to leave it if I see it in a care package, especially early game when i'd rather focus on upgrading the available weapons I have. I think it definitely needs to overheat more slowly but mostly trying to balance the overheating and reload feels a little clunky. I think it would work better with a single clip and a heat vent mechanism that works quicker than a reload. I would be happier to see this less in game if it was more consistent than it currently is, I want to see it and be overjoyed, but at the moment I just wish it was a mastiff!
Disruptor Rounds
I think these are in a pretty good place at the moment, could even be brought back a tad more, but I'm not currently shaking my fist at the sky calling out their name in anger so that's good! I think both the RE-45 and Alternator do their jobs pretty well and are balanced with each other. You choose Re-45 if you prefer to take people down faster up close and personal, or you choose the alternator for a more consistent longer range option.
Hammerpoint rounds
Love this hop-up and the damage is rightfully OP because the weapons themselves are pretty pants, if the damage was brought down I would like to see maybe an extra slow put in it's place, but overall love this Hop-up and I wasn't expecting to! Still think the Mozam needs 5 shots though!

I haven't had much experience in the way of Hammerpoint rounds apart from the odd game or 2 with the P2020. The opponent at the time didn't have a shield so of course dropped fairly easy to a point I was pleasantly surprised. It makes a useless gun competitive for early gunfights and maybe for those later on when someone wants to mix it up. Can't speak much for the Mozambique.
As for the L-star, hated it initially because it seemed everyone had one but it has grown on me somewhat. In my eyes it seems somewhat balanced to a point I'll pick it up early/mid game but drop it for a fully equip gun for end game. The downside is the overheating and muzzle flash/sights, I can't seem to hit a thing!
Lastly the Distrupter rounds, I don't know what to make of them really. As with the P2020 I feel the hop up makes the gun somewhat competitive (talking about the Re-45) but is too much when equipped on the Alternator. I'm not sure a nerf of the hop up is needed as it will again reduce the effectiveness of the re-45 but as it stands I see myself dropping every other light weapon for it on an Alternator. Perhaps the hop-up or Alternator need to be somewhat harder to find and more obscure? Seems I find one off the bat or find one in the the first death box.

Hopup:
If I found those two hop up early, combination of them are deadly especially early in the game so I will keep it to end.
But most cases, I already build my weapon then suddenly they show up at end, so I will just ignore them.
L-Star:
Early when session-2 launch everybody want to try it out, but now, none of my team mate want to pick it up.
I don't want it too, the reheat is so fast, the reload is too long, the muzzle flash is too much, the bullet trace is too obvious (attract 3rd party), so most people ignore it these days.
Even It's deadly weapon in close distance but I rarely see enemies using it as well.

Okay the L-star. I basically go to one of the care packages if I play normal apex. I want that quick over or quick multiple kills/squad wipe. The thing close range is a beast and rightfully shreds through ppl with it’s 23 or so dmg per shot. But thing is, the muzzle flash. My god, I thought it was bad on devotion/spitfire. They’re minor leagues compared to this gun.
I do see that the gun is no good against blue shield & up cause you usually overheat by that point. Overheat starts with every wrongly-timed 20 bullet burst. So unless you have another gun or the enemy sucks, you’re dead.
The disruptor just melts ppl like there’s no tomorrow. I remember when ppl found the havoc/devotion OP. This does way more damage xD. In the beginning of season 2, I melted 2 blue shield and one either white or purple away with 1 clip in less than 3 seconds xD. It was awesome!
Hammerpoint rounds are only good if you’re good or lucky. If you have bad aim, go for p2020 and just spray. If you’re close up and good at aiming, go for mozambique. Without shield and if all pellets connect, it’s 109 body dmg so yea, 1 hit kill. The p2020 does 29 dmg unshielded I think if I remember correctly.
Overall, strong weapons but they can either be right or wrong in the right or wrong hands
