The Combat Advanced Round SMG (shortened C.A.R. SMG), C.A.R., or CAR, is a fully-automatic submachine gun introduced in Season 11 that utilizes both Heavy Rounds and Light Rounds.

The C.A.R. is compatible with two Extended Mags, Heavy and Light, although only one of them can be equipped at any given time. The magazine however gets extended regardless of the ammo type currently in use.

When a C.A.R. spawns, it is always surrounded by Heavy Rounds, its primary ammo type.

Lore

“

The C.A.R. SMG was developed by Lastimosa Armory to leverage the existing success of the company's R-101 platform. A smaller barrel, lighter alloys, and other weight reductions improve the weapon's handling, while smaller ammunition affords low recoil and a higher rate of fire. Traditionally, weapons with a high rate of fire tend to jam when used for extended durations - to remove this limitation, the R&D team at Lastimosa Armory created a "shoot by wire" system where the trigger is linked to the firing mechanism via an internal CPU. This system can detect overheat conditions, adjust rate of fire, and clear jams without operator intervention - often faster than the operator can realize a jam has occurred.

Trivia

• Part of the C.A.R. SMG icon appeared in an UI asset showing the weapon's stock in the buy menu for Arenas, indicating that the weapon might've already had an icon stylized in the Apex style in Season 9. The icon can be seen in a video showing how to upgrade weapons in Arenas that got posted on the official website.
• The C.A.R. had a defined recoil pattern way before its release.
• The Heaven Piercer skin likely references the anime series Gurren Lagann.
• A bespoke C.A.R., nicknamed "Lady Grey", was owned by Ballistic.
• The C.A.R. is one of two weapons (Bocek) to have a unique inspect animation when out of ammunition.
• The skeletons on the Outlands Obliterator skin change their eye color to match the current ammo setting: Blue for Heavy and orange for Light.
