Apex Legends weapons information – regularly requested questions

Weapons and bullets in Apex Legends work slightly otherwise from different battle royale games akin to PUBG and Fortnite. I do know a lot of individuals are going to be asking the under questions, so I’ll simply undergo them shortly now:

• Are any of the weapons hitscan? – No.
  • Unlike Fortnite, there is no such thing as a hitscan in Apex Legends. All bullets have a journey time, it doesn’t matter what gun they’re fired from. So you do want to guide together with your aiming for longer ranges.
• Is there bullet drop? – Yes.
  • Fire some bullets into the gap with any gun and also you’ll see that ultimately they are going to drop. The bullet pace (and subsequently the quantity of drop) is variable between weapons.
• Is there injury drop-off? – No.
  • An fascinating discover. Unlike Fortnite or PUBG, there’s no direct discount in injury relying on how far a bullet travels. Even a shotgun pellet will hit for optimum injury over nice distances; however in fact, you’ll by no means hit a distant goal with multiple pellet at a time.
• Does every gun have a predictable spray sample? – Yes.
  • Much like CS:GO, a big a part of studying the way to play properly with every weapon in Apex Legends is studying the spray sample of every gun. A great way to do that is to fireside at a wall and see from the bullet holes the route the gun pulls you in, and carry out the other motion together with your mouse to counteract the sample whereas firing.

In the tables under you’ll see I’ve added hyperlinks to screenshots of the spray patterns of every gun. Take a glance!

VK-47 Flatline

The Flatline is what you would possibly name the baseline Assault Rifle when it comes to stats. With respectable flat injury stats, a excessive clip measurement, and a pretty simple to regulate spray sample, you’ll be able to’t go too far unsuitable with the Flatline at any vary, notably when you’ve kitted it out with respectable attachments. Unfortunately within the eyes of many it’s left within the mud by the R-301, but it surely’s nonetheless a weapon worthy of warning.

Hemlok Burst AR

The Hemlok Burst AR is – you guessed it – a burst weapon, firing Three bullets in extraordinarily fast succession, which suggests should you’re correct with them you’ll be able to deal over 100 injury within the area of about 0.2 seconds. But the Hemlok’s burst mode can’t hope to compete with the short-range DPS of many different weapons, so it’s usually picked final of all of the Assault Rifles on supply. Many choose to make use of it in single-shot mode, because it’s extra controllable and ammo-efficient over longer ranges.

R-301 Carbine

The R-301 Carbine is the very best AR on supply in the mean time, buying and selling a little bit of the Flatline’s injury for a quicker price of fireside and a neater experience basically. Low recoil and a excessive bullet pace makes the Carbine glorious at most ranges (it may even be used to nice impact at lengthy vary should you change to single-shot mode) and with an excellent prolonged magazine, barrel, and inventory, there’s no Assault Rifle deadlier.

SMGs

Name	Alternator SMG	R-99	Prowler Burst PDW
Spray Pattern
Ammo	Light Rounds	Light Rounds	Heavy Rounds
Mag Size	16	18	20
Tactical Reload/Full Reload	1.90s/2.23s	1.80s/2.45s	2.00s/2.60s

Body/Head/Leg DMG	13/19/10.4	12/18/9.6	14/21/11.2

Modes	Auto	Auto	Burst (5-shot)
Projectile Speed	19500	21000	18000
Draw Time	0.35s	0.35s	0.35s

Alternator

Slow-firing however packing respectable injury for an SMG, the Alternator has excessive vertical however little or no horizontal recoil, which, mixed with its exceptionally fast reload time, makes it a straightforward and versatile weapon for newer gamers. Put an prolonged magazine and a holo on it and also you’re good to go, however don’t anticipate it to out-DPS an excellent Assault Rifle or LMG.

R-99

The R-99 will outperform the Alternator at close-range resulting from its a lot larger hearth price, which ups the gun’s DPS by a substantial diploma. And this trait alone is what makes it the at the moment most sought-after SMG in Apex Legends. However, at longer ranges the R-99’s excessive recoil will usually allow you to down except you’ve a variety of expertise with this weapon.

Prowler

This burst SMG is barely price it should you handle to search out its related Hop-Up attachment, which lets you change to full-auto as a substitute of burst. Without this, it packs a punch with each 5-shot burst, however you race by your ammo all of the quicker for it, and your general hearth price and DPS suffers too. If you handle to search out the Hop-Up, then the Prowler will shred at shut vary and might be the very best SMG you’ll be able to hope to put your arms on.

Light Machine Guns

Name	Devotion	M600 Spitfire
Spray Pattern
Ammo	Energy Ammo	Heavy Rounds
Mag Size	44	35
Tactical Reload/Full Reload	2.80s/3.63s	2.80s/3.33s
DPS	255	170.67
Body/Head/Leg DMG	17/34/12.75	20/40/16
Fire Rate (SPS)	15 (at max)	8.53
Att. Slots	Barrel, Optic, Stock, Hop-Up	Barrel, Mag, Optic, Stock
Modes	Auto (Wind-Up)	Auto
Projectile Speed	33500	27500
Draw Time	0.70s	0.70s

Devotion

The Devotion is at the moment on the high of many gamers’ rankings of all of the weapons in Apex Legends, resulting from its stupendous hearth price and DPS. However, you really want the Hop-Up attachment to make it shine, which reduces the gun’s sizeable warm-up interval after you begin firing. Without it, the Devotion is just not a gun to depend on while you’re defending towards close-range attackers, as a result of by the point you turn and get the hearth price as much as a good normal, you’ll probably already be useless. Another draw back is that it requires Energy Ammo, which is commonly briefly provide except you’re fortunate together with your looting and killing. So should you take it, ensure you talk together with your teammates to provide you as a lot Energy Ammo as attainable.

Spitfire

I’m an enormous fan of the Spitfire. Surprisingly correct for an LMG, with respectable DPS (although nothing just like the Devotion’s) and a a lot simpler experience than the Devotion when you’ve mastered the spray sample. The first few photographs are a little bit of a bumpy experience, however after that this LMG will get a lot simpler to handle even at medium ranges. This is one other gun fairly often discovered within the arms of the highest gamers in Apex Legends in the mean time, and should you had to decide on between a Spitfire and a Hop-Up-less Devotion, I’d urge you to choose the Spitfire.

Sniper Rifles

G7 Scout

The Scout is a wonderful and surprisingly versatile sniper rifle, capable of carry out properly at lengthy, medium and even shut ranges. It offers much less injury than its fellow snipers, however has a a lot larger price of fireside and advantages rather more from prolonged magazine attachments, so pre-firing with this weapon could be very simple. The trick, in fact, is that you need to land a number of photographs with it as a way to deal the identical injury {that a} Longbow, Triple Take, and Kraber can all take care of one shot.

Longbow

The Longbow is a wonderful long-range alternative reverse an SMG or Assault Rifle. Nearly twice the injury per shot of the Scout, and a reasonably respectable price of fireside (although nothing like as quick because the Scout) combines into a straightforward to make use of death-dealer. The icing on the cake? Adding a Hop-Up attachment offers the Longbow further headshot injury. It’s most likely the very best long-range gun within the game, minus the Kraber.

Triple Take

My buddies and I typically name the Triple Take the “firework” for its very distinctive firing audio. This unusual weapon could possibly be described as a long-range shotgun; every pull of the set off fires three photographs in a packed triangle formation, making this a wonderful mid-range injury seller, however – bizarrely for a sniper rifle – not that nice at excessive distances as a result of the photographs unfold out too hearth to deal good injury. This cause, mixed with the truth that it takes hard-to-find Energy Ammo, makes the Triple Take the least sought-after sniper rifle in Apex Legends.

Kraber

One of two legendary weapons in Apex Legends, the Kraber takes no attachments, and sports activities its personal distinctive ammo – that means you solely get Eight photographs, full cease. But it’s a phenomenally highly effective bolt-action sniper, able to dealing 250 headshot injury in a single shot, and it sports activities a built-in 6x-10x scope for excellent accuracy over immense distances.

Shotguns

Name	EVA-8 Auto	Peacekeeper	Mozambique Shotgun	Mastiff Shotgun
Spread Pattern
Ammo	Shotgun Shells	Shotgun Shells	Shotgun Shells	Unique
Mag Size	8	6	3	4
Tactical Reload/Full Reload	2.50s/3.50s	2.50s/3.50s	2.10s/2.60s	1.03s/1.70s
DPS	134.19	106.7	135	230.4
Body/Head/Leg DMG	7/10/5.6 (63/90/50.4)	10/15/8 (110/165/88)	15/22/13.5 (45/66/40.5)	18/36/18 (144/288/144)

Projectile Speed	16000	16000	10000	12000
Draw Time	0.45s	0.45s	0.45s	0.45s

EVA-8 Auto

Probably probably the most forgiving shotgun in Apex Legends, a startlingly quick price of fireside is what units the EVA-Eight aside from the remainder. Its injury per shot can’t compete with that of the Peacekeeper, however the EVA’s flexibility lets you get in additional photographs than your opponent, usually profitable you the struggle.

Peacekeeper

The Peacekeeper fires 11 pellets in a star formation with every shot, permitting it to deal phenomenal injury up shut. It’s additionally the slowest shotgun on the listing, so the query is whether or not your twitch-aiming is sweet sufficient to hit your photographs, or whether or not you’ll be danced round by an enemy with the extra nimble EVA-8. You can equip a Hop-Up to the Peacekeeper, which allows you to maintain down ADS as a way to slowly acquire a tighter unfold in your photographs. All in all of the Peacekeeper is the very best Shotgun round, with the attainable exception of the Mastiff – although the Peacekeeper has longer efficient vary, so even there the Peacekeeper has a declare to the throne.

Mozambique

The laughing inventory of the Apex Legends weapons roster, this shotgun pistol has even been acknowledged by the devs at Respawn as being underpowered. Still, within the early game it’s able to killing you, so don’t be too fast to snigger. The compact triangle formation of its 3-shot burst offers it a barely longer efficient vary than the others, and its price of fireside exceeds even that of the EVA-8. But nonetheless. It’s fairly terrible.

Mastiff

The different legendary weapon in Apex Legends, the Mastiff comes with its personal distinctive shotgun shells, that means you’ll solely ever get 20 photographs with this colossal weapon. But it’s by far probably the most highly effective of all of the shotguns at close-range, dealing a whopping 36 injury with every of the eight bullets it fires with each pull of the set off. That makes for a possible 288 injury in a single burst.

Pistols

Name	P2020	RE 45 Auto	Wingman
Spray Pattern
Ammo	Light Rounds	Heavy Rounds	Light Rounds
Mag Size	10	15	6
Tactical Reload/Full Reload	1.25s/1.25s	1.75s/2.12s	2.10s/2.10s
DPS	86.04	137.5	153.9
Body/Head/Leg DMG	12/18/10.8	11/16/9.9	45/90/40.5
Fire Rate (SPS)	7.17	12.5	3.42
Att. Slots	Mag, Optic	Barrel, Mag, Optic	Mag, Optic, Hop-Up
Modes	Auto	Single	Auto
Projectile Speed	18500	19500	18000
Draw Time	0.25s	0.25s	0.25s

P2020

The bogstandard pistol and doubtless the all-round weakest gun at the moment in Apex Legends (with the attainable exception of the Mozambique), the P2020 is a satisfactory early-game weapon however nothing extra. It’s very fast although, and if – IF – you hit your photographs, then you’ll be able to nonetheless deal a variety of injury to an enemy at shut or medium vary.

RE-45

The RE-45 trades slightly injury and slightly little bit of reload time on the P2020 as a way to be totally automated, which suggests all that you must fear about is aiming the gun in the suitable route. A bigger clip measurement is at all times good as properly. But be warned – the RE-45 options as a lot horizontal recoil because it does vertical. Take a take a look at the spray sample above and study to counter it as a way to use this gun successfully.

Wingman

The Wingman is to Apex Legends what the Hand Cannon is to Fortnite: punchy, highly effective, and sluggish to fireside. It’s a excessive skill-ceiling weapon, and is finest utilized by somebody who trusts their very own precision and sharpshooting capabilities. If that particular person is you, you’ll be rewarded with 90 headshot injury per shot, which is greater than sufficient to make your enemy pause for thought (that’s, in the event that they nonetheless have a mind after such a headshot). You also can connect a Hop-Up (the identical one which you’ll be able to add to the Longbow Sniper, the truth is) which will increase its headshot injury even additional. If not for the truth that it may’t take any scopes past a 1-2x, it’d outrank most of the precise sniper rifles in Apex Legends.

That’s every part we at the moment have to supply on the myriad weapons out there in Apex Legends. The neatest thing to do as a way to become familiar with every weapon is follow within the game’s Training Mode, and study to counter the spray patterns of every weapon in flip. I hope you gleaned some helpful information from this information, and verify again quickly for all probably the most up-to-date ideas and stats!
