Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The name stands for LaSTimosa ARmory Energy Machine Gun but the model used in the Apex Games was made by Wonyeon Interstellar. This might explain the initial difference in behavior between the Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends' version of the L-STAR but with the rework of the weapon that came with Season 4.svg Season 4, they now function basically the same.
  • As seen in the trailer, the original L-STAR was supposed to have a 60 round magazine, and it would have fired 30 shots before overheating. However, most likely due to game balance, the capacity of the mag at launch was reduced to 40, and it overheated after firing 18 shots.
