Apex Legends Mastiff overview
For a long time, the Mastiff was only available from rare supply drops, and couldn’t be found as regular world loot. But all that has long-since changed, and the Mastiff is one of the go-to shotguns in the eyes of many an Apex Legends player. Devastating at extremely close range, the Mastiff is nonetheless a challenging gun to use correctly thanks to its bizarre horizontal line spread pattern, which nearly guarantees that not all of your pellets will hit. Because of this, many players have historically opted for a Peacekeeper or an EVA-8 over the Mastiff; but the Mastiff still packs just about the mightest punch of them all. The arrival of Season 11 also gave the Mastiff some love with the addition of the Dual Shell Hop-Up, which once attached to the Mastiff allows you to reload two shells at a time instead of just one. This gives the Mastiff a slight niche in the shotgun loot pool which may give players another reason to use it over the others. The below sections go through just about every statistic that might be useful to know about the Mastiff Shotgun in Apex Legends. The first gives basic stats, the second focuses on damage, and the third section displays various handling stats for the Mastiff.
