However, it seems that not all characters are created equal in Apex Legends. According to a new test conducted by one keen-eyed Reddit user, it seems that.
ByCurrently, there are 20 weapons in total in, excluding various grenade types. As expected, you have at your disposal guns like sniper rifles, assault rifles, shotguns, LMGs or SMGs, and even with pistols, if that's what your gameplay style requires.In any case, there's a perfect weapon for each player, so we're here to help you make that choice with a few tips.
Follow our tier list of all available weapons in Apex Legends, which are sorted in descending order from best to worst.Remember that each gun can be improved with different attachments, so be sure to consider that when making your selection. Mastiff Shotgun. Base Damage: 144 (8x18). Headshot Damage: 288 (8x36). Magazine: 4. Ammo Type: 20 (4+16)The Mastiff shotgun is an exceptional weapon.
It has the highest DPS of all of guns in Apex Legends; it's also very accurate for a shotgun.However, since it's obviously not as precise as the Kraber rifle, the Mastiff gets the second place in our tier list.Just like the Kraber can only be obtained from airdrops, so is the case with Mastiff, so be on the lookout for this amazing weapon as you make your way around the map. R-301 Carbine Assault Rifle.
Base Damage: 14. Headshot Damage: 28 (2x). Magazine: 18. Ammo Type: Light RoundsAlthough this assault rifle has a small magazine and low DPS, you will not find a more accurate rifle in the game. More than that, its high level of accuracy remains almost equal for all three types of combat range: close, mid, and long.This makes the R-301 the most versatile weapon in the game, and if you like to play with assault rifles, then you will find plenty of useful attachments for it as well. Devotion LMG.
Base Damage: 17. Headshot Damage: 34 (2x). Magazine: 44. Ammo Type: Energy AmmoLight machine guns have always been the number one choice for players who are looking for a high fire rate.

If you're one of those, then you should consider nabbing one of the two energy weapons in Apex Legends — The Devotion LMG.This light machine gun has a unique spin-up mechanism that increases its fire rate the longer you shoot. This means that Devotion is basically a meatgrinder of a weapon, giving you more bang for your gameplay buck. Longbow DMR Sniper Rifle.
Base Damage: 55. Headshot Damage: 110 (2x). Magazine: 5. Ammo Type: Heavy RoundsLongbow has the lowest DPS of all sniper rifles in the game.
So why is it considered to be one of the best? It all comes down to the speed of the bullet; the Longbow helps players reach their targets much quicker than any other rifle.This gun also has great range, so you can take out enemies from great distances. Lastly, it's a lot easier to find the Longbow than the famous Kraber rifle. Peacekeeper Shotgun. Base Damage: 110 (11x10). Headshot Damage: 165 (11x15). Magazine: 6.
Ammo Type: Shotgun ShellsBy no means is the Peacekeeper shotgun a powerful weapon in terms of DPS. Actually, this weapon has quite low base damage in comparison to other shotguns in the game.But this beast of a gun has a high fire rate and quick reload speed, which is much better than a slow but heavy-damaging shotgun in a battle royale.If you are looking for a surefire close range weapon that can quickly deal a lot of damage, then be sure to check out this little buddy.
Triple Take Sniper Rifle. Base Damage: 69. Headshot Damage: 138. Magazine: 5.

Ammo Type: Energy AmmoTriple Take is the second energy weapon in Apex Legends, but instead of an LMG it's a sniper rifle.The name of the weapon comes from its triple barrel, which shoots three projectiles at the same time.This sounds cool on paper, but in reality, it's not very practical because of the possible spread of projectiles. The solution would be to attach the Precision Choke Hop-Up on the Triple Take, which should be able to significantly reduce spread. Hemlok Burst Assault Rifle. Base Damage: 54 (3x18). Headshot Damage: 72 (3x24). Magazine: 18. Ammo Type: Heavy RoundsThe Hemlok AR can be adjusted for single-round or three-round burst firing modes.
This means that one must sacrifice overall fire rate, but the light customizability can pay off in certain gameplay situations. In midrange combat, triple burst mode is a good option.Just don't expect this gun to do too well at close- or long-range, that's just not what burst fire was made for in the first place.
