Choosing your Loadout can be a big part of how well you perform in Apex Legends’ Control mode. Choosing your Loadout may look familiar if you played the Winter Express LTM in Dec. 2021, but there are also quite a few differences between weapon selection in Winter Express and weapon selection in Control. Let’s take a look at Control’s take on the Loadout selection format.
All Loadout Styles
- Close-Quarters
- Heavy
- Assault
- Marksman
- Sniper
Similar to Winter Express, Control has five different classes of Loadout to choose from. However, the options are slightly different. First of all, the Specialist class has been removed, and second of all, the Long-Range category has been broken up into two smaller categories: Marksman and Sniper. Loadouts within each class are random, and some may not be your bag, but the selections do rotate. Also, unlike in Winter Express, your Loadout weapons in Control have unlimited ammo.

Control Optic Selection
While the rest of the weapon is locked to a tier, you can customize your optic for each weapon. This is the same as in Arenas and Winter Express, with an improved menu. Some Optics will be locked for certain weapons, but you can swap optics between your weapons.
Upgrading Weapons
In the beginning, when you choose your Loadout, all weapons are fully-kitted at the blue two-star Rare-tier level. If you raise your Ranking in the fight, you can upgrade to purple and even gold. But beware: your Rankings and weapons tier will reset if you die. That said, you can also change your Loadout mid-game when you die if you want to switch things up.
