C.A.R. changes in Apex Legends

The C.A.R. loses the Galvanic Gavel hop-up but gets bigger blue, purple and gold magazines.

• Removed Hop-Up: Galvanic Gavel
• Magazine size adjustments
• Blue magazine 25 → 26
• Purple and gold magazines 28 → 30

TipThe magazine gain is small and the hop-up loss is not. Judge the C.A.R. on losing Galvanic Gavel rather than on the extra rounds.

The Care Package C.A.R. gets the Galvanic Gavel hop-up to swap between Disruptor and Hammerpoint Rounds, starting on Disruptor, plus a bigger magazine and a faster mag swap.

Added Hop-Up: Galvanic Gavel: Allows the magazine to be swapped between Disruptor and Hammerpoint Rounds

• Added Hop-Up: Galvanic Gavel
• Allows the magazine to be swapped between Disruptor and Hammerpoint Rounds
• Upon first pick-up, begins on Disruptor Rounds
• Magazine size 28 → 30
• Improved reload speed of the mag swap

TipYou choose the ammo type mid-fight. Swap to Hammerpoint the moment a shield breaks and back again for the next opponent.

The C.A.R. deals more damage per bullet and can now use a Laser Sight barrel attachment.

• Damage 13 → 14
• Headshot damage: 17
• Added Laser Sight barrel attachment

The new Accelerator attachment for the Nemesis, G7 Scout and C.A.R. gives more EVO and ultimate charge from damage, and knocks give extra ultimate charge while it is equipped.

• Increases EVO gained from damage
• Increases Ultimate charge from damage
• Knocks grant 30% ult charge as long as an Accelerator weapon is equipped

The C.A.R. SMG deals slightly more damage per bullet.

Damage 12 → 13

The CAR's white, blue and purple/gold magazines each hold one more round.

Magazine size changes: White 21 → 22

• Magazine size changes
• Base: 19 (unchanged)
• White 21 → 22
• Blue 23 → 24
• Purple/Gold 26 → 27

TipCarry more ammo per magazine for sustained engagements.

The CAR kicks upward a little more when aiming down sights, so it is slightly harder to keep on target.

ADS vertical recoil slightly increased

All SMGs move slower while strafing aimed down sights and get less bonus damage on headshots.

• Strafe Speed: ADS strafe scale 0.85 → 0.75
• Headshot multi 1.5 → 1.25

TipLess mobility while aimed; headshots reward less; adjust flick expectations at range.

The C.A.R. SMG is back in floor loot with one fewer round in its base magazine.

• C.A.R. SMG returns to the floor
• Base ammo capacity 20 → 19

TipOnly the base capacity moved, so this bites hardest on a gun you have not found a magazine for yet. Off drop, plan on reloading a beat sooner than muscle memory says.

The CAR SMG is back as floor loot but can no longer take barrel attachments.

• CAR SMG returns to the floor.
• No longer takes barrel attachments.
