Apex Legends players have been in heated debates over the outrageous size of Havoc’s magazine. You lose so many hipfire fights to this gun, because they can keep shooting forever compared to most (or all) ARs and SMGs. The need to switch or reload guns is a massive part of Apex’s close-quarters dynamic, and having one AR boast such a large mag size feels dumb.

Summary

  • Players are split on whether Havoc’s mag size is unbalanced or a necessary gameplay element

Player Insights

One player mentioned, “It used to balance Havoc but then they nerfed every weapon that compete with it.”

Another player shared, “I bet you didn’t know that Flatline does pretty much the same damage per clip. If they didn’t nerf Flatline, Flatline would be king over Havoc.”

FreeSquirkJuice gave historical context, saying, “It regulated the firing rate and recoil at the expense of reduced damage. That was changed a few seasons ago, and then other AR’s were nerfed via hipfire.”

One player hilariously added, “Cuz havoc beech.”

Final Thoughts

Amidst the debates and jokes, players continue to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of Apex Legends’ weapon balancing. Whether Havoc receives adjustments or not, the community’s passion for the game remains unwavering
