Assault Rifles

Havoc Rifle

The Havoc is a fully automatic, spin-up assault rifle in Apex Legends Mobile, known for its reliable damage output relative to its performance. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 32 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 18 health points, and 15 if you hit on the leg. If we talk about the rounds that it fires per minute, then it has a fire rate of 672 RPM (Rounds Per Minute) and can shoot effectively up to 494 metres.

R-301 Carbine

It does feature a low damage ratio, but it makes up for that with its accurate positioning, a high rate of fire, and a recoil pattern that mobile gamers can control. This weapon has been the choice for Apex Legends PC gamers to start their journey with for a long time now. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 25 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 14 health points, and 12 if you hit on the leg. If we talk about the rounds that it fires per minute, then it has a fire rate of 816 RPM and can shoot effectively up to 475 metres.

Hemlok Burst AR

The Hemlok burst AR in Apex Legends Mobile is an excellent choice for players with precise aim. This versatile weapon offers the ability to toggle between single-shot and burst fire modes and features a manageable and predictable recoil pattern. With its enhanced damage output and effective rate of fire, the Hemlok is a valuable asset in medium-range combat. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 39 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 22 health points, and 17 if you hit on the leg.

Flatline

In Apex Legends Mobile, this weapon enhances the damage of the R-301 while reducing the fire rate. Ideal for mid-range to close-quarters combat, the Flatline is a strong assault rifle that’s definitely worth considering. However, for close-range encounters, it's best to use it in hip-fire mode. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 32 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 18 health points, and 14 if you hit on the leg. If we talk about the rounds that it fires per minute, then it has a fire rate of 600 RPM and can shoot effectively up to 461 metres.

Light Machine Gun

Devotion LMG

Recall the Havoc rifle? Think of the Devotion LMG as its larger, more powerful counterpart in Apex Legends Mobile. Like the Havoc, the Devotion LMG requires a brief charge-up period before firing. Once it starts, however, it delivers devastating firepower, with even the standard magazine capacity being sufficient to take down one or two enemies. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 28 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 16 health points, and 12 if you hit on the leg. If we talk about the rounds that it fires per minute, then it has a fire rate of 804 RPM and can shoot effectively up to 531 metres.

Spitfire (Care Package)

Until last season, the Spitfire was widely regarded as the best LMG by Apex Legends players on all platforms. This light machine gun in Apex Legends Mobile features an extensive magazine and a solid rate of fire. As a result, it’s ideal for eliminating entire squads with a single magazine if you're fortunate. Additionally, the Spitfire's manageable recoil makes it a great choice for beginners. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 34 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 19 health points, and 15 if you hit on the leg. If we talk about the rounds that it fires per minute, then it has a fire rate of 546 RPM and can shoot effectively up to 457 metres.

L-Star EMG

A powerful weapon capable of inflicting significant damage, the L-Star comes with a few downsides. Its energy-based LMG features a recoil pattern that unpredictably shifts from left to right. While this can be controlled with practice, it remains a challenge for some. On the plus side, the L-Star now benefits from the addition of a barrel stabiliser. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 32 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 18 health points, and 15 if you hit on the leg. If we talk about the rounds that it fires per minute, then it has a fire rate of 600 RPM and can shoot effectively up to 337 metres.

Sub-Machine Guns (SMGs)

Volt SMG (Care Package)

It offers moderate damage with excellent precision, particularly when used in hip-fire mode. This high-fire-rate SMG utilizes energy ammo, making it highly effective in close-range encounters. Additionally, its recoil is relatively low and manageable from the outset, enabling you to deal substantial damage as you engage in combat. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 26 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 17 health points, and 14 if you hit on the leg.

Alternator SMG

If you find yourself in a tough situation with no other options, this SMG, with its respectable fire rate, can help you get by for a while. Though its compact size delivers decent performance, it does have a variable recoil pattern. If you're an experienced mobile gamer, the Alternator SMG is a viable choice as a last resort. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 24 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 16 health points, and 13 if you hit on the leg.

Prowler Burst PDW

The Prowler Burst PDW is a top-notch submachine gun for suppressing enemies in close-range combat, aided by its aim assist. This formidable SMG features a high rate of fire and offers both auto and burst modes, making it ideal for close-quarters engagements. Its recoil pattern is manageable, and it tends to focus more on the lower part of the target. However, its damage output is somewhat on the lower side. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 23 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 15 health points, and 12 if you hit on the leg. If we talk about the rounds that it fires per minute, then it has a fire rate of 1254 RPM and can shoot effectively up to 204 metres.

R-99 SMG

Regarded by many Apex players as the top choice for close-range combat, the R-99 SMG maintains its reputation in the mobile version. With an exceptionally high firing rate that rapidly tears through enemies at close range, the R-99 is a must-try weapon. However, its high rate of fire comes with a drawback - significant horizontal recoil, which can be challenging to manage on a small touchscreen. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 17 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 11 health points, and 10 if you hit on the leg.

Shotguns

Mastiff Shotgun

With virtually no recoil, you can use this shotgun with ADS both on and off without any concerns. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 136 points of damage to your enemy.

If we talk about the rounds that it fires per minute, then it has a fire rate of 60 RPM and can shoot effectively up to 128 metres.

Peacekeeper

The Peacekeeper is one of those weapons in Apex Legends Mobile that you definitely don’t want to face.

If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 45 health points, and 42 if you hit on the leg.

G7 Scout

Designed for Apex Legends Mobile players seeking a balance between a sniper rifle and an assault rifle, the G7 Scout is a reliable and consistent weapon. This single-shot rifle delivers a solid 34 DPS with impressive range. However, its slow rate of fire and limited speed make it best suited for long to mid-range engagements. Aimed at players with precise aim, the G7 Scout is not ideal for beginners. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 60 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 34 health points, and 27 if you hit on the leg.

Repeater (30-30)

Kraber (Care Package)

Apex Legends players’ ultimate dream, the Kraber is arguably the most powerful and elusive weapon in the mobile game as well. This bolt-action sniper rifle delivers a staggering 145 DPS and is quite heavy to wield. However, the long barrel will be the last thing on your mind when you witness its performance. With a precise headshot, the Kraber can instantly eliminate any enemy, and even body shots can inflict significant damage. If you deliver a headshot with this, you will deal 435 points of damage to your enemy. If you go for a body shot, it will reduce 145 health points, and 116 if you hit on the leg.
