Apex Legends’ new gun may be the most broken weapon in its history, but boy is it fun to shoot missiles from an SMG

The Bird of Prey is a new variant of the R99 introduced in Apex Legends' Mixtape mode, available in Care Packages during the Supersonic event. It features a unique ability to fire five homing missiles that deal an additional ten damage each when locked onto an enemy for a sufficient duration. The weapon is equipped with gold attachments and is designed to provide a tactical advantage similar to Valkyrie's abilities, but it has a brief recharge period. The Bird of Prey is not available in ranked matches or competitive formats. Its introduction has led to a chaotic gameplay experience, especially during endgames, but it is intended for casual play.
