Everything about the Apex Legends Mozambique


Apex Legends Factory Issue Mozambique Skin
October 2, 2023: Season 18 is in full swing and we've got all there is to know about the Mozambique shotgun in our guide.

Is the Apex Legends Mozambique any good in Season 18? This particular shotgun is often overlooked due to its lack of firepower but in the early stages of any ranked or casual Apex Legends match, it's a solid option if you're looking to deal some early damage.

Armed with three barrels, the Mozambique fires three pellets which disperse in the shape of a triangle and if you position your crosshair correctly, there's potential to shred through nearby opposition.

But, before we take a closer look at what the Mozambique has to offer, check out our Apex Legends tier list highlighting the best Legends to use for the remainder of Season 18.

Apex Legends Mozambique review

The Mozambique has had its fair share of issues throughout the Apex Legends cycle. In one season it can be extremely powerful, then in the next, it can be the weapon you run past without a second thought. It doesn't really stand out in the battle royale unless you're dedicated to finding the high-tier attachments for it.

However, it's quite useful in the Arenas mode. The Mozambique is one of the guns that are free to equip to your Legend from the weapon shop. The upgrades for it are also quite cheap compared to the other weapons that are available. This means that you increase its power enough for it to take down the other squad in the first or second round. Overall, it's a good secondary weapon, but we recommend using any of the other Shotguns as your main weapon.

There you have it, that's all there is to know about the Mozambique shotgun in Apex Legends. For more, check out our Apex Legends weapon tier list showcasing the best guns to use right now.
