Apex Legends Alternator stats
The Alternator has received a lot of attention in Season 10. Once considered the lowliest of the SMGs, the Alternator is now the only Care Package-exclusive SMG in Apex Legends. It’s a fairly solid gun with a steady fire rate and decent enough damage. But what catapults it into top-tier territory is its built-in Disruptor Rounds effect, which allows it to deal an extra 40% damage per shot to shielded enemies. While not as powerful as the Disruptor Rounds Hop Ups that laid waste to the weapon meta back in Season 2, this means the Alternator is a quite terrifying force to be reckoned with at any stage of a match. The below sections go through just about every statistic that might be useful to know about the Alternator SMG in Apex Legends. The first gives basic stats, the second focuses on damage, and the third section displays various handling stats for the Alternator.
