The third – Season of Apex Legends brought significant changes to weapons and attachments, so let’s take a look at some of the best weapons in the game.

From pistols to shotguns, there’s everything a gamer’s heart desires. But which weapons are really lucrative and why. It should be noted: No matter how good a gun is, if it doesn’t have the right range, it won’t do much good. The choice of weapon should always take into account the game situation and environment. That being said, here are our top 5 weapons for Apex Legends:

Kraber

We’ll start with the Kraber, as it has one of the highest damage potentials in the entire game. In the right situation, it can take out an enemy with a single body shot. A headshot, on the other hand, is always enough to take down an opponent.

Kraber Stats

Maximum damage per shot: 125
Maximum damage per headshot: 250
Damage per second (body): 125
Damage per second (headshot): 250
Rate of fire: 36 spm
Magazine capacity: 4
Tactical reload: 3.2s
Full reload: 4,3s
Ammo type: Unique

Mastiff

The damage potential of this weapon can hardly be overstated. A headshot with the Mastiff is deadly in any case. This makes it the ultimate companion in the late-game, when the circle gets tighter – and you need something you can rely on 100%.

Mastiff Stats

Maximum damage per shot: 144
Maximum damage per headshot: 288
Damage per second (body): 144
Damage per second (headshot): 288
Rate of fire: 96 spm
Magazine capacity: 4
Tactical reload: 1.03s per round
Full Reload: N/A
Ammo Type: Unique

Peacekeeper

For many players, the Peacekeeper has always been a good weapon due to its lethal effect, even without additional attachments. When combined with the Precision Choke, it becomes an even greater threat, especially at close range.

Peacekeeper Stats

Maximum damage per shot: 110
Maximum damage per headshot: 165
Damage per second (body): 110
Damage per second (headshot): 165
Rate of fire: 58 spm
Magazine capacity: 6
Tactical reload: 2.5s
Full reload: 3,5s
Ammo type: Shotgun

Wingman

This pistol has already undergone several nerfs, but its accuracy and high rate of fire are still great enough to remain on our list of the strongest weapons in the game. If the head shots are accurate enough, the basic version of the gun can be deadly in three shots, even against an opponent with full armor – but without a helmet. One of its biggest drawbacks, however, is that its magazine can only hold four bullets in the basic version. Therefore, an extended heavy magazine is definitely necessary.

Wingman Stats

Maximum damage per shot: 45
Maximum damage per headshot: 90
Damage per second (body): 135
Damage per second (headshot): 270
Rate of fire: 205 spm
Magazine capacity: 6
Tactical reload: 2.1s
Full reload:2,1s
Ammunition type: Heavy

Charge Rifle

The Charge Rifle definitely belongs in the list of the most powerful weapons. It is one of the newer Apex Legends weapons, and was introduced with the launch of the third – Season in October 2019. At launch, the weapon was so powerful that even after reducing the magazine size to 4 rounds, more nerfs were needed. Nevertheless, it remains on our list.

Charge Rifle

Maximum damage per shot: 45
Maximum damage per headshot: 56
Damage per second (body): 31.5
Damage per second (headshot): 39,2
Rate of fire: 30 spm
Magazine capacity: 4
Tactical reload: 3.6s
Full reload: 3,6s
Ammunition type: Energy

What is actually… “Apex Legends?

Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?

What is “Apex Legends” about?

Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.

• Genre: Battle Royale shooter
• Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.

At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.

To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.

Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.

Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.

How can I play Apex Legends?

Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.

Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.

In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.

The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.

Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).

Which technical terms should you know?

Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.

Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.

Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
