An Ordnance is nothing but a throwable gadget inApex Legends. These items come in various shapes and sizes, some being exclusive to certain Legends.
Universal Ordnances appear as ground loot or are found inside Supply Bins and are available for everyone’s usage. For Legend-specific Ordnances, they appear as abilities. Let’s take a look at all of them.
All Universal Ordnances in Apex Legends
There are three types of Universal Ordnances in the game:
The Arc Star has three sharp arms that deal arc energy damage after a3-second timer. It sticks to any surface upon contact and players within its radius willlose their their shields and will be stunned for five seconds, reducing your movement and aim sensitivity. Players also use this throwable to break doors, especially when an enemy is blocking for a quick shield up. An Arc star deals70 unshielded damage and 15 piercing damage.
Frag Grenades, like any other video game, work similarly — by dealing explosive damage. Unlike the Arc Stars, this Ordnance explodes after four seconds and doesn’t stick to surfaces. Frag Grenades have a larger radius than an Arc Star and can deala maximum of 100 damage.
Thermite Grenades after exploding create a horizontal 3-meter wall of fire. Unlike the previous two throwables, it deals25 damage in total over 3 seconds. Most players use Thermite Grenades to stop an enemy team from pushing, to secure the kill of a knocked-out enemy, or to break doors.
