Mozambique changes in Apex Legends

The Mozambique handles slightly faster.

Small increase to handling speed.

The Mozambique's projectiles are bigger at close range, so shots are easier to land up close.

Increased projectile size at close range

The Mozambique fires faster in both akimbo and single fire, and even faster with a white or blue shotgun bolt, and its blast pattern is slightly tighter.

Increased rate of fire in akimbo and single fire modes

• Slightly tightened blast pattern
• Increased rate of fire in akimbo and single fire modes
• Increased rate of fire when using a white or blue shotgun bolt

The Mozambique deals more damage per pellet.

• Damage per pellet 15 → 16
• Headshot damage: 60 (all pellets)

TipThe listed headshot number assumes every pellet connects, so it only exists at ranges where the whole spread lands. Close the gap before committing rather than trusting that figure from range.

The single Mozambique fires much faster, but a full blast does less damage with Hammerpoint and the Shotgun Bolt fire-rate bonus is smaller at every level.

• Hammer Point Damage for a full blast 60 → 54
• Rate of fire significantly increased
• Shotgun Bolt rate of fire multiplier decreased at all levels

TipA full blast pays out less while the gun fires faster, so stay on target through the follow-up shots instead of peeking after one. Rank a shotgun bolt lower in your loot order, since it adds less at every level now.

Hammerpoint Rounds for the Mozambique and P2020 are back on the floor and in crafting, now as a legendary hop-up.

• Added to floor loot and crafting
• Rarity tier increased to Legendary

Hammerpoint Rounds for the Mozambique, P2020 and RE-45 can no longer be found on the floor or crafted.

Removed from floor loot and crafting bundles

TipThe ceiling on those guns is now whatever they do without this hop-up, so plan to trade up out of one instead of keeping it as your second weapon into the mid game.

The Mozambique and Peacekeeper now do full damage on limb hits instead of reduced damage.

Limb damage 0.8 → 1.0

TipLeg shots hurt more now; body and limb damage are almost equal.

The Mozambique holds more shells, and its lower two pellets are moved inward for a tighter blast.

• Magazine capacity 4 → 6
• Moved the lower 2 pellets inward in the blast pattern

TipUse it to chain consecutive shots - two magazines now trade blows with higher-tier pistols.

The Mozambique holds one more shell, so you can fire once more before reloading.

Clip size 3 → 4

TipOne extra shot per magazine makes it viable for early game - land all four pellets to eliminate unarmored opponents.
