These changes definitely show that players prefer extended magazines over any other attachment, and it will be interesting to see if this changes the rate in which players craft certain items. The shake up in the Hop-Up line-up is also one of the major factors at play for the Replicator changes, so it should be interesting to see how everything plays out.

These changes debuted in Apex Legends on August 9, 2022 via the Season 14: Hunted update.
