Weapon

The R-301 Carbine, an assault rifle.

Weapons are the main method of dealing damage in Apex Legends and Apex Legends Mobile. In Battle Royale, Legends drop into the arena without any weapon equipped, and must find them from any suitable loot source upon landing. In Arenas, most weapons can be purchased before the round starts. Regardless of the game mode, up to two firearms can be carried.

A weapon's effectiveness and fire power can be enhanced through attachments that can help stabilize the weapon, increase its magazine size, change its optics, and more.

All weapons are split into seven categories:

• Assault rifles, also stylized as Assault Rifles or ARs;
• Sub machine guns, also stylized as SMGs;
• Light machine guns, also stylized as LMGs;
• Marksman weapons, also stylized as Marksmen;
• Sniper rifles, also stylized as Snipers;
• Shotguns;
• Pistols.

Other weapons

Supply Drop Weapons

Main article: Supply Drop Weapon

Supply Drop Weapons (also known as care package weapons, crate weapons, airdrop weapons, etc.) are Mythic tier weapons that can only be found in neutral Care Packages. They have limited ammo that cannot be replenished. They also come with a replaceable optic, except for the Kraber .50-Cal Sniper whose unique 6x-10x Variable optic cannot be removed.

Fully kitted weapons

Fully kitted weapons are weapons that come pre-equipped with all of their attachments. The level of the attachments are based on the rarity of the weapon, ranging from Common to Legendary.

Ordnance

There are three types of ordnance that can be thrown. Unlike firearms, they take up item slots in the inventory and are classified as consumables.

Rampart's Custom Modded Paintball Weapons

This section refers to content exclusive to Apex Legends.

Rampart's Custom Modded Paintball Weapons are fully kitted weapons that have been modified by Rampart with the Splatter Rounds Hop-Up. They reload faster and shoot paint-loaded rounds which have a visual colored effect. They can be purchased with Materials from Vend-it Machines located in Rampart's Big Maude, and are available in Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarities. Legends refer to them as "Rampart Specials" if pinged.

Melee weapons

This section refers to content exclusive to Apex Legends.

Legends do not possess a melee weapon by default, as they just use their fists and kicks. However, by obtaining a Legend's Heirloom Set, players can equip that Legend's personalized melee weapon skin. Melee weapons are purely cosmetic and do not impact gameplay.

Stats

• All damage is calculated ignoring Fortified and Helmets damage modifiers.
• Damage per second (DPS) and time to kill (TTK) values are obtained from bodyshots.
• Time to kill value is calculated against Evo Shields, and against a target no farther than 25 meters/82 feet.
• Time to kill value is expressed in seconds (s).
• Projectile speed is expressed in units per second (UPS).
• Magazine sizes are without extended magazines.

Weapon statistics

Weapons have different statistics, and some of them can be altered by equipping attachments.

Ammo

Main article: Ammo

Each weapon has its ammo type which indicates which type of ammo it accepts. There are six types: Light Rounds, Heavy Rounds, Energy Ammo, Shotgun Shells, Sniper Ammo, and Arrows. Each ammo type has a different chance of spawning with some being rarer than the others, and they usually spawn beside a weapon of the same type.

Bullet drop

Most weapons in the game fire projectiles that drop over time. Weapons that use Heavy Rounds tend to have a more pronounced drop; weapons that use Energy Ammo are the least affected by bullet drop. The only weapon without bullet drop is the Charge Rifle; its beam travels instantly and experiences damage falloff over distance.

Damage falloff

The Charge Rifle has damage falloff in which, after a set distance, the damage is reduced the further the target is.

Bullet slow

Weapons inflict a 10% slow upon their targets for 0.25 seconds. This can only happen once every 3 seconds. This does not apply to Legends with Fortified.

Firing modes

These are the different ways a weapon can shoot:

• Auto - the weapon fires continuously as long as the trigger is held;
• Single - the weapon fires once per trigger pull;
• Burst - the weapon fires multiple times per trigger pull.

Some weapons can be switched between multiple firing modes. For example, the R-301 Carbine and VK-47 Flatline can both be switched between Auto and Single.

In Apex Legends Mobile, semi-auto weapons can be continuously fired by holding down the fire button. Weapons that are switched into semi-auto also have this feature, such as the Hemlok, making them technically fully-automatic.

Handling

How fast the weapon can be taken out and put away. Heavier weapons (e.g. LMGs) are slower than lighter weapons (e.g. pistols). It can be improved with a Standard Stock or a Sniper Stock.

Head and leg shot multipliers

Weapons have headshot and leg shot multipliers that increase or decrease the damage dealt, respectively. If the result is a fraction, it rounds to the nearest whole number.

• Head: Headshots increase the damage dealt. Helmets can lower the damage taken.
• Legs: Leg shots lower the damage dealt.

Magazine size

A weapon's ammo capacity. It can be increased using extended mag attachments, but the attachment is different for each ammo type.

• The Extended Light Mag for weapons that use Light Rounds.
• The Extended Heavy Mag for weapons that use Heavy Rounds.
• The Extended Energy Mag for weapons that use Energy Ammo
• The Extended Sniper Mag for weapons that use Sniper Ammo (except the Charge Rifle.)

Movement penalty

All weapons slow players down equally (by 13.333%), no matter the type of weapon. Mad Maggie can remove this penalty for shotguns with Warlord's Ire.

Weapons further reduce movement speed while aiming down sights, with the amount depending on the weapon. Snipers, at 65%, have the greatest ADS movement penalty.

Muzzle flash

The minor blinding effect the shooter receives while firing a weapon. It can be reduced with a Barrel Stabilizer.

Projectile travel speed

Except for hitscan weapons, whose projectiles instantly go where the weapon is pointed at, all weapons' bullets and projectiles take different amount of times to travel a set distance. The speed at which these bullets and projectiles travel is calculated in units per second, where 40 units are equal to one meter.

Rate of fire

How fast a weapon can shoot. For shotguns, it can be increased with a Shotgun Bolt.

Recoil

The amount of physical recoil per shot that should be compensated for. It can be reduced with a Barrel Stabilizer.

Reload speed

The speed at which a weapon changes its magazine with another. For all weapons except the Wingman, P2020, and HAVOC Rifle, reloading when the magazine is not fully emptied will take less time than reloading it with a completely empty magazine. The reload speed can be increased with Stocks / Level 2 or better Extended Mags.

For the Wingman and Hemlok Burst AR, the reload speed can be further enhanced with the Boosted Loader Hop-Up, which increases the reload speed and adds bonus rounds after reloading if the reload is performed when the mag is almost empty (replacing the "LOW AMMO" on-screen warning with a "FAST RELOAD" message).

RPM acceleration

The Devotion LMG features a special mechanic which causes its rate of fire to start slow and accelerate to full speed over a short period. It can be shortened with a Turbocharger Hop-Up attachment.

Spread

The bullet deviation of a weapon when firing from the hip, indicated loosely by the size of the crosshair. With most shotguns, aiming down the sights slightly narrows their shots. However, the Triple Take and Peacekeeper are unique in that their choke builds over time to reduce spread. Their chokes can also be turned on and off at will.

Weapon sway

The sway of a weapon while idling aiming down sights. It can be reduced with a Standard Stock or a Sniper Stock.

Wind-up

The HAVOC Rifle features a special mechanic where the weapon goes through a short wind-up period of time before it begins firing. It can be removed with a Turbocharger.

Trivia

• Out of the current 28 weapons across both games, 21 are derived from the Titanfall series.
  • The seven exceptions are the HAVOC Rifle, Prowler Burst PDW, 30-30 Repeater, Sentinel, Peacekeeper, Rampage LMG, and Bocek Compound Bow.
• The marksman category was not introduced into Apex Legends and Apex Legends Mobile until respectively Season 9 and Season 1.
  • The G7 and Triple Take were originally snipers. The G7 was then moved into the assault rifle category in Apex Legends until it became a marksman weapon.
  • Curiously, the Longbow DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) was not moved to the marksman category in neither of the games.
• The Mozambique Shotgun is a shotgun pistol and is actually classified as both.
  • For challenges and Mad Maggie's Warlord's Ire passive, it is treated as a shotgun.
  • In a match, it is labeled a pistol. The Mozambique has no ADS movement penalty like pistols. If its optics are requested, the Legend will ask for pistol optics. The Hammerpoint Rounds Hop-Up equips to any pistol except the Wingman, which includes the Mozambique.
• The Wingman, L-STAR EMG, 30-30, Longbow, Sentinel, and Kraber .50-Cal Sniper can open doors by shooting the handle.
  • In Apex Legends, the L-STAR was originally meant to break doors rather than opening them.
  • A Revved Up Rampage can break doors.
• Some Legends have unique animations with weapons:
  • Gibraltar has a unique pick up animation for the Peacekeeper. This animation also happens when a Legend is rechambering the Peacekeeper one-handed due to the left hand being busy (for example, while Octane is stimming).
  • Rampart has a unique pick up animation for the Rampage LMG, unique reload animations for all LMGs, and unique reload and inspect animations for Sheila.
  • Fuse has a unique pick up animation for the 30-30.
  • Mad Maggie has a unique pick up animation for the Mastiff Shotgun.
