With each update in Apex Legends, we see new twists and additions, especially when it comes to the variety of guns. The roster continues to grow, with old favorites receiving new additions. Let's explore some of the top weapons in different categories that you can wield in Apex Legends.
R-301 Carbine
Assault Rifles
The R-301 Carbine has always been a standout in its class. Known for its high bullet speed, minimal recoil, and great attachments like extended stock, mag, and barrel. This weapon excels at long-range combat when in single-shot mode. The Anvil Receiver Hop Up further enhances its capabilities, making it a special choice.
VK-47 Flatline
In comparison to the Carbine, the VK-47 Flatline used to suffer from high horizontal recoil. However, the addition of the Anvil Receiver Hop Up elevated this weapon to new heights. Now, you can seamlessly switch between an assault rifle and a long-range Sniper Rifle. With impressive stats, the VK-47 Flatline rightfully earns its place as one of the best in its class.
LMGs
Devotion
The Devotion boasts an exceptional fire rate and is considered one of the most powerful weapons in the game. While the Turbocharger may be gone, the Devotion still performs at its peak. It does have a significant wind-up time and recoil, which can be challenging to manage. With skillful handling, you can achieve great results with this LMG.
M600 Spitfire
The M600 Spitfire is a formidable weapon with high base damage. It also boasts the largest magazine capacity among all guns in Apex Legends. To maximize its performance, a reliable Barrel Stabilizer attachment is essential when firing.
SMGs
Prowler
The Prowler truly shines with a Selectfire Receiver Hop-Up attachment. Without it, the gun's reliability decreases significantly. Pairing an Extended Mag with Selectfire transforms this weapon into a rapid destroyer of obstacles.
R-99
The R-99 is a popular choice in its class for its incredibly high fire rate, despite being challenging to control. Limited magazine capacity and high recoil are its downsides. With skillful handling, the R-99 stands out as one of the most potent weapons in the game.
Snipers
Longbow DMR
The Longbow DMR allows for precise, long-range shots with minimal risk. While it has a slower firing rate, the higher damage output compensates for it. In Season 4, the Longbow DMR is a valuable weapon to wield.
Kraber .50-CAL
The Kraber is a potent bolt-action sniper rifle that deals significant damage. It is a crate-only weapon in the game and does not support attachments. While it offers intense firepower with 8 shots, its slower fire rate and rarity are notable drawbacks. Nonetheless, it remains a valuable asset if acquired.
Shotguns
Mastiff
The Mastiff is another crate-only weapon with 20 shotgun shells at your disposal. It excels in close-range combat, delivering significant damage with each burst. Its high damage output makes it a sought-after weapon among players.
Even More Weapons in the Game
These are just a few standout weapons among the 23 options available in Apex Legends. Each weapon has its unique qualities, advantages, and disadvantages. Players must choose which weapon best suits their playstyle and preferences.
