The R-301 Carbine, an assault rifle.

Weapons are the primary method of dealing damage in Apex Legends. 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 Arenas, any weapon that is not a Supply Drop Weapon 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 mag size, change its iron sights, or unlock new fire modes.

All weapons are split in seven categories: assault rifles, sub machine guns, light machine guns, marksman weapons, snipers, shotguns, and pistols.

Other types of weapons

Supply drop weapons

Supply drop weapons (also known as care package weapons, crate weapons, airdrop weapons, etc.) are Mythic rarity 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

Main article: Fully kitted weapon

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.

Melee weapons

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.

List of weapons

Assault rifles

Sub machine guns

"Sub machine gun" is an incorrect spelling of "submachine gun". "Sub" is a prefix and therefore should be part of the word (e.g. "submarine"). This wiki is intentionally using the incorrect spelling because that is how SMG is being spelled in the game.

Light machine guns

Marksman weapons

Sniper rifles

Shotguns

Pistols

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 Light Rounds, Heavy Rounds Heavy Rounds, Energy Ammo Energy Ammo, Shotgun Shells Shotgun Shells, Sniper Ammo Sniper Ammo, and Arrows 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 Heavy Rounds tend to have a more pronounced drop; weapons that use Energy Ammo Energy Ammo are the least affected by bullet drop. Hitscan weapons do not have bullet drop; they have damage falloff instead.

Bullet slow

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

Damage falloff

Hitscan weapons have damage falloff in which, after a set distance, the damage is reduced the further the target is.

Firing modes

These are the different ways a weapon can shoot. Some weapons have two modes that can be switched:

  • Auto Icon Auto - the weapon fires continuously as long as the trigger is held;
  • Single-fire Icon Single - the weapon fires once per trigger pull;
  • Burst Icon Burst - the weapon fires multiple times per trigger pull.
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 Standard Stock or a Sniper Stock Sniper Stock, or the Quickdraw Holster Quickdraw Holster Hop-Up.

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. Helmet 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.

Movement penalty

All weapons slow players down equally (by 13.333%), no matter the type of weapon.

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 lvl4 Barrel Stabilizer which is equipped only on certain fully kitted weapons, as the attachment itself can no longer spawn since Season 8 Season 8.

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 modified with a Shotgun Bolt Shotgun Bolt.

Recoil

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

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 Turbocharger.

Spread

The bullet deviation of a weapon when firing from the hip, indicated loosely by the size of the crosshair. While with shotguns aiming down the sights slightly narrows their shots, the Triple Take and Peacekeeper are unique in that their choke builds over time, and their choke can also be turned on and off at will. The Quickdraw Holster Quickdraw Holster Hop-Up can reduce hipfire spread.

Weapon sway

The sway of a weapon while idling. It can be modified with a Standard Stock Standard Stock or a Sniper Stock 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 Turbocharger.
