The Hammond P2020, or simply P2020, is a semi-automatic pistol available to competitors in the Apex Games, debuting in Apex Legends. It is a successor to its Frontier War ancestors, the P2011 and P2016. Much like its forebears, the Hammond P2020 is a reliable sidearm with decent accuracy to complement its quick reload and higher firerate. It uses light ammo and can be modified with attachments for a close-range scope, extended magazine, and a Hop-Up that lets it do more damage to unshielded targets. Because competitors in the Apex Games can only carry two weapons at a time, the expectation is that the pistol is an "early game" weapon: something one can use the moment they land at the start of the game but should expect to trade out for a "stronger" weapon down the road. Nonetheless, the P2020 rewards accuracy and is always helpful in a pinch.
This small but reliable pistol was once standard - issue for IMC recruits before the Blackout. While lacking significant firepower, it’s famously accurate with limited recoil, and modifications can significantly increase its rate of fire. A stand - off device in the muzzle also ensures greater accuracy in close quarters. When all other magazines are spent, it's comforting to have a P2020 on your hip.
