Trivia[]

The HAVOC is currently the only weapon not present since the game's release that didn't get introduced at the start of a Season.
The HAVOC has several visual similarities to the PR-01 Plasma Railgun Titan weapon from the Titanfall series, such as a wind up time, a rotating magazine and magnetic rails which glow with the same color as the projectile.
The HAVOC's secondary, now removed fire mode used to shoot a beam of energy similarly to the Titanfall series version of the Charge Rifle.
