Apex Legends: Waffen-Tier-Liste

The introduction of Hardlight Mesh windows in The Breach update changed the way that fights worked by funneling engagements into tight spaces, making close-range weapons the best Apex Legends weapons for these encounters. Marksman weapons naturally took a dive in the meta along with nerfs to damage and fire rate, falling behind the best weapon in Apex Legends Season 28.

Hop-ups defined weapon ceilings with Turbocharger boosting HAVOC to another level, and Double Tap creates significant weapon buffs in season that make both the Alternator and EVA-8 the best weapons to use in close quarters. Disruptor rounds combined with Peacekeeper to lethal effect.

R-301 Carbine tops the ultimate weapon tier list for versatility by handling close-range hipfire, mid-range beams, and distance pokes with equal consistency, and a 1.03-second TTK against purple armor. R-99 shreds at 0.83 seconds TTK, but be warned that it punishes misses heavily.

RE-45 was promoted for now having a .80 seconds kill time, the fastest ground loot TTK in game, while having minimal recoil, which combos well with Peacekeeper, which itself is an S-tier weapon with Disruptor rounds allowing 107 damage per shot, for consistent two-tap kills against purple consistently.

The Care Package trio represents the best weapons in Apex Legends. G7 Scout now has built-in Double Tap and sniper optics for a 0.75-second TTK. The C.A.R. runs Disruptor and Hemmerpoint simultaneously, and the Kraber is still a one-bullet ender.

Alternator with Double Tap went from the bottom of the barrel to one of the best weapons in Apex, with a 0.85-second TTK; its hop-up alone justifying its use. HAVOC, one of the assault rifles in Apex Legends, becomes a mid-range laser when slotted with a Turbocharger.

EVA-8 with Double Tap is the Breach specialist, posting a 0.88-second TTK. The Sentinel remains the best long-range ground sniper with charged shots that break shields in a single hit. The Akimbo Mozambique shreds without even a hop-up, while the Triple Take covers multiple ranges at 1.15-second TTK, allowing it to defy the Marksman Rifle nerfs.

Flatline hits hard with a 1.00-second TTK, but the gun has too much recoil. The Volt wields very well but with inferior kill speed, and Prowler with Select Fire is heavily skill-gated. Most B-tier weapons in Apex Legends have such drawbacks, keeping them from reaching A-tier weapons status, unlike C-tier weapons which lack viability entirely.

The Mastiff does well with Dual Shell but lags too much compared to Peacekeeper's Disruptor damage, and Wingman as a secondary weapon, moved to sniper rifle ammo, limiting rounds capacity and performance. But if you need a stacked weapon inventory with the best assault rifles in Apex and SMGs in Apex Legends for better match performance, consider buying an Apex Legends account from igitems, where you also get instant delivery along with the benefit of rare skins and other unlocks.

Spitfire is built for suppression but loses any one-on-one, while Nemesis as a burst weapon in the game, needs too much time to ramp up. Every weapon in Apex Legends' C-tier is held back by various factors. Devotion, an LMG in Apex Legends, requires a spin-up time without the reward, and P2020 is a placeholder at best.

D-tier weapons in Apex Legends represent the worst weapon choices, outright lacking performance and a reason to pick up. Bocek Compound Bow lost its peak-shooting ability, while Longbow DMR and Charge Rifle rank among the worst guns in Apex Legends, with TTKs that are just too low at 2.30 seconds and 3.20 seconds, respectively. 30-30 Repeater lost Skullpiercer compatibility, and Hemlok's burst delay makes this rifle in Apex Legends too punishing to work now. Finally, there's Rampage, which is the slowest LMG.
