The Shatter Caps Hop-Up was introduced in Apex Legends at the launch of Season 9: Legacy. While it’s ability to turn marksman weapons into a faux shotgun with a pellet spread was cool, the Hop-Up was just never as powerful as some of the front runners like the Turbocharger. With the Evolution Collection Event update, however, that could all be changing. The Shatter Caps Hop-Up is getting a major buff that improves several different aspects of its abilities. Let’s take a look at all of the buffs brought to Shatter Caps Hop-Up by Evolution Collection Event update.
