Peacekeeper with a Legendary skin

Shotguns are often an overlooked class when it comes to Apex Legends, as they are not quite equally brutal as shotguns are in some other games. That said, with Season 9: Legacy being the very kickoff time none of the shotguns are locked away in the Care Package, it'southward a perfect time to take a closer look at with shotguns really pack a punch.

Peacekeeper

Even with its major nerf after getting taken out of the Care Packet, the Peacekeeper is still the fiercest shotgun out there. It'south also the only shotgun to have a born asphyxiate toggle, allowing the player to choke bullet spread and hit their target with a full-bodied blast of damage. A couple of hits and your enemy isn't going to know what hit them — but they'll probably be cursing the Peacekeeper'southward name.

EVA-8 Car

Ever since the EVA-8 got its burn rate buff at the beginning of Season 8, it crashed its way into the meta and replaced the formerly-favored Mastiff in a lot of situations — even in Ranked Leagues and the competitive scene. Having a fast shotgun, especially with a Level three shotgun commodities, is such an advantage and a great way to have someone downward, catch them off-baby-sit, or finish them off.

Mozambique

Okay, at present you just call back nosotros are trolling. We become it. The Mozambique is historically the worst weapon in the game. That said, it got a major buff for Flavour 9, and we're not counting it out anymore. It now holds upward to half-dozen shots and spread is more concentrated. There is a hazard this gun could easily be kicked off of the list, but nosotros are optimistic about seeing the Mozambique finally have its twenty-four hours.
