- The key to success is using the best guns with the highest damage to dominate the Apex Legends arena. Here’s a list including body and damage for the best weapons.
Apex Legends Best Guns Damage List
As Apex Legends continues to grow, more players are looking for ways to improve their game. So far, players have gone through two seasons. The first Apex Legends season wasn’t too hot, and players were complaining about the lack of items, events, and changes in the game. As we have seen with weekly updates in Fortnite, the bar is set high and Respawn Entertainment are trying to figure out how to please their user base. Season 2 came out with a blast and Respawn were able to improve their game immensely. Now, season 3 is right around the corner, and competition is fierce. Knowing your weapons and delt damage is important.
Although the gun varieties are unique for every class, damage is still the most important feature when selecting your weapons and loadouts. Here is a list of the best Apex Legends guns including damage for each of them.
Pistols
Pistols, in Apex Legends, are important for first guns players pick up when scrambling after their drops. The ability to put scopes on all pistols is another excellent feature added in the game.
Wingman
The Deagle of Apex Legends, the Wingman is by far best pistol in the game. Logically, the Wingman uses Heavy Rounds. Be prepared to consume ammo with it’s small magazine and heavy recoil. You can use 3 attachments for the gun, being: Optic Attachment, Mag Attachment and the Hop-Up attachment. (Hop-Up attachment, grants bonus on headshots.)
Bodyshot: 45 Damage
Headshot: 90 Damage
RE-45 Auto Pistol
This RE-45 is a good early game option because its the only fully automatic pistol. The full-auto option comes with moderate recoil. Although the RE-45 uses light rounds, it depletes bullets very fast. You can use 3 attachments for the gun being: Optic Attachment, Mag Attachment and the Barrel attachment. (Barrel stabilizer is an essential attachment to decrease recoil of the RE-45).
Bodyshot: 11 Damage
Headshot: 16 Damage
SMG
For Close Quarters Combat (CQC), the Apex Legends SMG’s are well balanced.
Prowler
The best SMG in the game, the Prowler looks like a real-life P90. Surprisingly for an SMG, the Prowler uses heavy rounds and holds 20 per magazine. The gun shoots 5 round bursts and can hit 100 damage in one burst with headshot accuracy. If you land your shots your opponents have no chance. You can use 4 attachments for the gun being: Optic Attachment, Mag Attachment, Stock Attachment and the Hop-Up Attachment.
Bodyshot: 14 Damage
Headshot: 21 Damage
Alternator
One of the iconic guns from the Titalfall series the Alternator belongs on the list of Apex Legends Best Guns. The ability to use light ammo makes it very useful in the game. The gun becomes a beast if you can equip several attachments to it. You can use 4 attachments for the gun being: Optic Attachment, Mag Attachment, Stock Attachment and the Barrel Attachment.
Bodyshot: 13 Damage
Headshot: 19 Damage
Shotguns
Shotguns are very OP at the moment. Their strength is of course for CQC. A key to a final ring loadout must include a shotgun.
Mastiff Shotgun
The best is the legendary shotgun Mastiff. This gun has the biggest potential damage in the game. The Mastiff shotgun cannot use any attachments and is also a semi-auto shotgun. The damage values below are for landing all the pellets spread. The base value per pellet is 18 damage for bodyshots and 36 for headshots.
Bodyshot: 144 Damage
Headshot: 288 Damage
Eva-8 Auto
Eva-8 Auto is for newer players with somewhat of a weaker aim. The Eva-8 is an auto shotgun that holds 8 bullets per magazine. You can use 2 attachments for the gun, being: Optic Attachment, Mag Attachment.
Bodyshot: 63 Damage
Headshot: 90 Damage
Assault Rifles
We continue to our list of Apex Legends Best Guns with Assault Rifles. The most popular gun class has options of burst ARs to normal Fully Auto Rifles.
VK-47 Flatline
Taking the name from the legendary AK-47 this gun is a beast. Long-range or Short range are both good options. The gun holds 20 bullets per magazine and uses heavy rounds. You can use 3 attachments for the gun, being: Optic Attachment, Mag Attachment and Stock Attachment. (Stock attachment is key to help this gun for recoil reduction).
Bodyshot: 16 Damage
Headshot: 32 Damage
Hemlok
Hemlok is a 3 round burst assault rifle and can also be set to single mode (popular choice for accuracy). The bursts are very tight even for a mid-range target. If you can land headshots this is the weapon for you. The Hemlok uses heavy rounds with a magazine capacity of 18 bullets. You can use 4 attachments for the gun, being: Optic Attachment, Mag Attachment, Barrel Attachment and Stock Attachment.
Bodyshot: 18 Damage
Headshot: 32 Damage
LMG
There are only 2 LMG options in the game right now. The Spitfire is the better choice of the two.
M600 Spitfire
Not the best damage in the game because of its small mag capacity, the M600 makes up for it with low recoil for an SMG. The gun uses heavy rounds with a magazine capacity of 35. You can use 4 attachments for the gun, being: Optic Attachment, Mag Attachment, Barrel Attachment and Stock Attachment.
Bodyshot: 20 Damage
Headshot: 40 Damage
Sniper Rifles
Apex Legends Best Guns list would not be complete without Sniper Rifles. Like every battle royale game there is the option to “one-shot” your enemy from a distance.
Kraber
If you are lucky enough to find this gun and use it effectively you will probably win the game. The Kraber sniper rifle is the only “one-shot” sniper rifle in the game regardless of the armor the enemy is wearing. The gun uses special rounds which you cannot find anywhere in the game. It comes with 8 bullets in total. You cannot use any attachments with it.
Bodyshot: 125 Damage
Headshot: 250 Damage
Longbow DMR
A standard and easy to use sniper rifle is what makes it so good. Longbow DMR uses heavy rounds with a 5 magazine capacity. This gun desperately relies on attachments to buff its status. You can use 4 attachments for the gun, being: Optic Attachment, Mag Attachment, Barrel Attachment, Hop-Up attachment and Stock Attachment.
Bodyshot: 55 Damage
Headshot: 110 Damage
These guns are the very best that the game has to offer right now. We will be tracking and updating the weapons list as they are tweaked over the course of the next months.
