While all you players may not agree, Mozambique, a shotgun in the game, is not anyone’s first choice when picking up weapons or looting someone. The fast-paced title seldom allows one to actually get close enough to an enemy to get the right amount of damage. On a regular day, you can expect about 15 damage from the gun, to the body. This is on a regular distance. Headshots may get you about 40-45 damage, depending on the armor, the distance and many more factors. This damage increases, on the skin with the Hammerpoint attachment though, but not by a lot. This unattractive spec sheet also makes the weapon quite common and widely available in every room, and or building.

Apex Legends & April Fool’s

For this April 1st though, the company tried to do something quite interesting. What happened mere minutes ago was that suddenly players experienced a big upgrade in the weapon. Even without its attachment, the Hammerpoint, the gun’s damage specs rose beyond the roof. This was pointed out in a Reddit thread as well, adding a video to go with it.

The video above shows that the damage done by the gun is quite greater than what we’d usually expect it to be. A good one by the people behind Apex. Perhaps, we’d now see more and more people looking for Mozambiques. After all, this is actually a very, “once in a lifetime moment”. One other thing, this also gears us up for other game developers, tech companies and what they would do this year to “prank” us.
