How to master Apex Legends\u2019 L-STAR in Season 4: Tips, damage stats, more RespawnApex Legends might have a wide array of loot to be picked up and used, but how do you master a weapon like the L-STAR in order to score a victory? Here are a few tips you need to know. When Apex Legends season four launched back in January, the loot pool for the battle royale title was tweaked in order to accommodate the Sentinel sniper rifle. There were also changes \u2013 good and bad \u2013 to the current crop of weaponry. The L-STAR received a significant tweak at the beginning of the season and was changed to give it a bit more kick when it comes to recoil, switching to Energy ammo. With some players now touting it as one of the most powerful guns in the game, let\u2019s see how you can rip through enemies in the early game with a few handy tips. Move quickly and shoot cleverly As the L-STAR is the only weapon in Apex Legends to have an overheating mechanic instead of reloading, it doesn\u2019t work like other weapons \u2013 such as the R-99 or Flatline for example \u2013 and you can\u2019t spray past 25 shots like you can with these other guns. Instead, it\u2019s better to use the weapon in short bursts. You might not always want to push too aggressively with the gun, but if you\u2019re playing as a character like Octane or Pathfinder, it can be effective. Get in, get some shots off on your opponent, and use an ability to escape while things cool down. It sounds simple but it will take some learning to pull off masterfully. Doing so will also combat the super annoying muzzle flash that the L-STAR gives off. Apex Legends L-STAR damage stats Even though the damage stats for the L-STAR have taken a hit in recent updates, the weapon is still pretty solid compared to it\u2019s rival. Yes, it\u2019s not going to be a huge damage dealer in one shot, but being accurate will help your cause. In the early game, you\u2019re only going to need three or four clean shots to a non-helmet enemy regardless of them being a normal, low-profile, or fortified foe, according to stats from Apex Legends Gamepedia. That\u2019s ideal because if you\u2019re able to control the recoil and muzzle flash, landing three or four shots isn\u2019t going to be too much of an issue. Though, in the late game, you should use the L-STAR to soften opponents up before using a bigger damage dealing weapon to finish them off. Don\u2019t worry about finding attachments Compared to its counterparts, the L-STAR isn\u2019t able to be used with many attachments \u2013 only a select number of sights and stocks. Because of this, you don\u2019t have to fret about scrambling around for attachments. A sight is ideal but not necessary, because short to medium range is where it\u2019s strongest. You could pick anything from a 1-2x Variable Holo to a 3x HCOG \u201cRanger\u201d and still have the same outcome. Now, of course, these are just a few tips based on getting the best out of the gun as it currently stand in season four. Though, you may find that something works better for you \u2013 for example, using it as a close-range weapon rather than mid-range. At the end of the day, it is all a feeling out process until you\u2019re happy with what you\u2019re using. So, next time you\u2019re on World\u2019s Edge, why not pick up an L-STAR and try it out? It\u2019s one of the strongest weapons around, in the right hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
