P2020 changes in Apex Legends

The P2020 deals slightly more damage per shot.

Base damage 23 → 24 (Previous Hotfix)

TipA single point of damage, so treat this as the P2020 holding its place in landing fights rather than as a reason to change what you pick up.

The P2020 holds one more round per magazine, and Hammerpoints on it cost fewer points, so you can unlock them earlier.

• Points required to unlock Hammerpoints 500 → 425
• Base magazine size 8 → 9

The floor loot P2020 loses Kinetic Feeder and gets weaker, with less damage, slower reloads, a lower fire rate and wider hipfire spread.

• Removed Hop-Up: Kinetic Feeder
• Damage 25 → 23
• Reduced reload speed
• Reduced rate of fire
• Increased enhanced hipfire spread

TipThe floor P2020 moved backwards on every stat at once. Treat it as a landing weapon and swap at the first chance.

The Care Package P2020 fires faster and holds more rounds per magazine.

• Increased fire rate
• Magazine size 22 → 26

TipIt is a viable opener if you find a package early; use it at mid-range.

The Care Package Akimbo P2020 deals a little more damage, reloads faster, is more accurate from the hip and now comes with the Kinetic Feeder hop-up.

• Damage 24 → 25
• Decreased reload time
• Improved hipfire accuracy
• Added Hop-Up: Kinetic Feeder

The P2020 does slightly less damage and holds fewer rounds at every magazine tier.

• Previous Hotfix: Damage 25 → 24
• Magazine size reduced at all tiers
• Base 10 → 8
• White 11 → 9
• Blue 12 → 10
• Purple/Gold 14 → 11

TipMuch weaker as a starter weapon - swap it out the moment you find anything else.

The P2020 deals more damage per shot.

• Damage 21 → 24
• Headshot damage: 30

TipThe P2020's headshot number sits a quarter above its body damage, so it pays for a settled shot on the head rather than a fast body-shot trade. Take the extra beat when the target is still.

The P2020 has better base hipfire, but only when used akimbo.

Akimbo Only: base hipfire improved

The P2020 hits harder per shot, but Hammer Point damage is lower and every magazine is smaller, so you reload more often.

• Damage 18 → 21
• Hammer Point damage 27 → 23
• Magazine size changes
• Base 14 → 10
• White 16 → 11
• Blue 18 → 12
• Purple/Gold 21 → 14

TipYou'll burn ammo faster on the P2020 - aim carefully and pick your engagements rather than spraying.

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 P2020 hits harder with each shot but fires more slowly.

• Bullet damage 15 → 18
• Fire rate 8.5 → 6.25

TipIt's now viable for finishing wounded enemies or armor trades - don't spam it, place shots.

The P2020 hits harder and holds more rounds at the lower magazine levels, while Hammerpoint damage stays about the same in most cases.

• Damage 13 → 15
• Decreased Hammerpoint damage multiplier from 2.7 to 2.35. This will leave Hammerpoint P2020 damage unchanged in most scenarios..
• Increased mag size from (10/13/15/18) to (12/14/16/18)

TipHigher base damage per shot; larger magazines for sustained fire; Hammerpoint rounds feel similar overall.
