Alright, so I’ve been diving deep into Apex Legends lately, trying to figure out the best guns for this season. You know, the ones that just shred. So, I figured I’d share my little experiment and what I found out.

My Little Experiment Begins
First, I jumped into the firing range. Gotta get a feel for things without the pressure of getting third-partied, right? I picked up pretty much every weapon I could find, from pistols to snipers.
Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3…
I started by just spraying at the dummies. No attachments, just raw firepower. I wanted to see which guns had the best base recoil and damage output. Some were all over the place, others were surprisingly stable.
- R-301: Still a laser. Super easy to control, even without a barrel stabilizer.
- Flatline: Hits like a truck, but the recoil kicks like a mule. Gotta get used to that pattern.
- Hemlok: Burst mode is nasty if you can land your shots. Single-fire is decent for poking at range.
- Havoc: That spin-up time is killer, but once it gets going, it melts people. Turbocharger is a MUST.
- Prowler:If get the select fire,it will become a beast.
- R-99: Still a bullet hose. Close-range shredder, but you gotta hit your shots.
- Volt:Fells similar to R-99,but easier to control.
Attachments Make the Difference
Next, I started slapping on attachments. Barrel stabilizers, extended mags, the whole nine yards. This is where things really started to separate. Some guns, like the R-301, just become even more ridiculous with a few upgrades.
Real-Game Action
Firing range is one thing, but real matches are where it counts. So I dropped into a bunch of games, prioritizing the guns I felt were good in the range. I wanted to see how they performed under pressure, with enemies strafing, using abilities, and all that jazz.
My Final Thoughts
After all that shooting, dying, and (hopefully) winning, here’s what I’ve concluded. The “meta” guns are really about personal preference and playstyle, but these are the ones I’m feeling most confident with:

- R-301: It’s just too good. Easy to use, versatile, and deadly accurate.
- Volt:If you good at SMG,take it, you will be surprised.
- Flatline: If you can master the recoil, it’s a beast. Close to mid-range monster.
- Wingman:Yeah,still need skill,but powerful if you can hit headshot.
Honestly, though, experiment! Find what works for YOU. That’s the beauty of Apex. There’s no single “best” gun, just the best gun for your hands and your brain. Good luck out there, Legends!
