Apex Legends Season 4 Weapons Stats
Apex Legends weapons stats and characteristics vary for each weapon. Stats and characteristics define the power and flexibility of a weapon. There are 23 weapons in Apex Legends. Each weapon has it’s own pros and cons. The game balances each weapon without giving it too much advantage. All that being said there are still weapons that offer much more firepower and flexibility even with the balanced mechanics of the game. Players are dividing weapons into different tiers based on the performance of weapons.
I have analyzed all the weapons in season 4 of Apex Legends. Based on my experience, Apex Legends weapons stats have a balance but some weapons better than others. Below is the list of all weapons along with their stats to show the caliber of each weapon. Different attachments can improve the stats of weapons. Attachment tier will decide the stats difference for weapons because better attachments offer better weapon stats.
Weapons Stats for Apex Legends Season 4
There 5 weapon tiers S, A, B, C, D. Damage for low profile characters is more than normal characters while damage for Fortified characters is less than normal characters. The stats below are based on normal characters. Low profile characters take 5% more damage while Fortified characters take 15% less damage. Low profile characters are Lifeline, Pathfinder, Wattson, Wraith, and Revenant. Fortified characters are Caustic, Gibraltar. Headshot damage is taken into consideration without any helmet. The level of a helmet can change the amount of headshot damage you take. Please consider that while looking at the outcome.
Some weapons might be good even with low stats. Skills can make weapon stats useless in most cases. However, Apex Legends weapon stats can still make a difference in specific scenarios.
ARs (Assault Rifles)
There are 5 assault rifles in Apex legends which include R-301, VK-47 Flatline, Havoc, Hemlock, and G7 Scout. The RPM, Aim speed and Recoil of assault rifles are compared with assault rifles, not other classes of weapons. Apex Legends weapons stats and details of all assault rifles are given below.
