Apex Legends players have just seen a new weapon introduced into the game. It is the energy HAVOC Assault Rifle. It was added to the game as the fourth assault rifle of Apex Legends
The HAVOC Rifle is a unique gun. Its standard shooting mode – autofire – takes a few seconds to charge before actually shooting. If you use its second mode – Select Fire Receiver – you can shoot out single-shot energy beams that instantly hits the opponents if they’re under your crosshair (which means your bullet will ignore distance, bullet travel time, and anything else). Moreover, a lot of hop up attachments work with the gun.
The HAVOC Rifle seems to be an incredible gun due to these features, and why don’t we take a closer look at the advanced stats of this gun?
