How the Hammerpoint Rounds Hop-Up works in Apex Legends

Apex Legends is full of ways to kit out your weapons, but the most unique of those ways is probably the Hop-Ups. Hop-Ups are special add-ons compatible with 1-3 weapons and give those weapons a new ability or functionality when equipped. While the Hammerpoint Rounds Hop-Up had been out of play from Season 9: Legacy through Season 11: Escape, it has returned for Season 12: Defiance. This time, though, it’s a little different. Let’s take a look.

Hammerpoint Rounds Functionality

The Hammerpoint Rounds Hop-Up gives weapons a damage multiplier if the target does not have any shields left. The multiplier begins with the first hit after a break, there is no multiplier on a shot that hits both shield and skin.
