Triple Take Launcher
Three explosive rounds, one trigger pull, and instant destruction for the unprepared.
The Triple Take Launcher is a specialized sniper rifle that defines high-risk, high-reward combat in the Apex Games. Unlike traditional bolt-action rifles that fire single rounds, this weapon fires three explosive projectiles simultaneously upon pulling the trigger. It serves as a devastating tool for players who can master its unique recoil pattern and timing, capable of eliminating fully shielded opponents with a single well-placed shot to vital areas.

Lore & Background
In the brutal arena of the Apex Games, this weapon has become a signature for legends who favor aggressive sniping over passive camping. Its explosive nature means it can damage enemies through thin walls and cause splash damage to nearby targets, making it a nightmare for squads attempting to flank or regroup. However, its slow fire rate and significant recoil require immense discipline; a missed shot leaves the user vulnerable, turning every engagement into a tense gamble of skill versus luck.
In Their Own Story
The dust of the Kings Canyon wasteland settled around the ridge as the legend aimed down the scope. Below, an enemy squad huddled behind a crumbling concrete barrier, expecting a single shot to warn them off. Instead, the Triple Take roared, spitting three smoking spheres into the air. The projectiles arced in a tight triangle before detonating simultaneously against the wall. The explosion didn't just breach the cover; it vaporized it, sending debris and shockwaves outward. Before the smoke cleared, the legend had already reloaded, knowing that hesitation was the only thing more deadly than the blast itself.
Reader's Guide
The Triple Take Launcher is a unique sniper rifle firing three explosive projectiles per trigger pull. It deals significant damage capable of downing max-shielded enemies with one body shot or headshot, though its fire rate is slow.
It uses Medium Ammo and accepts standard attachments: any scope from Holo to Marksman (6x), an Extended Mag, and a Stock for reduced recoil. The weapon benefits greatly from a Laser Sight if hip-firing in close quarters, though it is primarily a scoped weapon.
Optimal loadouts pair this with a secondary automatic rifle like the R-301 or Hemlok to handle close-range threats after firing a burst. Due to its explosive nature, players should aim for the center of mass rather than precise headshots unless at extreme range. Care Packages can drop this weapon, and Jumpmaster kits do not affect its performance, but mobility is key to repositioning between shots.
