As showcased byAnuixYTon theApex Legends subreddit, Wattson’s Heirloom has a special animation when breaking down doors and it certainly pushes the Energy Reader to its limits.

When attempting to melee a door, Wattson grasps the Heirloom with both hands causing the end of the device to spin. This animation makes sparks fly everywhere and results in the door being smashed or pushed open.
