Apex Legends: Complete Weapon Stats List

Apex Legends, despite principally being a character-based shooter, puts a large emphasis on weaponry and gunplay.

There are over 20 weapons to choose from in the battle royale, each with its own individual strength and unique set of stats. There are assault rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, sniper rifles, shotguns, and pistols, along with a selection of ammo types and attachments.

Here are the damage stats for all of the weapons in Apex.

Based on the charts above, the G7 Scout is the strongest assault rifle in terms of damage dealt per bullet to an enemy’s body and head. For SMGs, the Alternator SMG and Prowler Burst PDW both deal 15 damage per bullet to the body and 23 to the head, but the Volt SMG narrowly beats out both guns in damage.

The L-STAR EMG is slightly stronger than the Devotion LMG and M600 Spitfire, while the Kraber .50-cal is by far the most powerful sniper in the game. For shotguns, the Mastiff and Peacekeeper both deal a considerable amount of damage, and the Wingman is easily the strongest pistol in the game.

These weapon statistics could change if Respawn decides to nerf or buff certain guns. But for the time being, it's quite clear which weapons are the best in Apex.
