Apex Legends Season 20: Weapons Tier List

The RE-45 has seen some improvements this season but if you find yourself in up-close fights you will get blown away by far better SMGs. 

The Spitfire may be easy to control and with a high fire rate can cause massive damage but it's not versatile. 

The Triple Take has a similar problem as the LMGs. At medium-to-long range, it can be an ideal weapon but when up close it will lose every time to SMGs or shotguns. 

Even though the Alternator is easy to use, it isn't the best SMG in the game right now. You can still lose close-up battles with this weapon and increasing distance steeply decreases effectiveness. 

This weapon can deal massive damage over long distances but the charge-up time can make you miss valuable opportunities if your foe knows what he is doing. It is a decent sniper but there are better options out there.

Respawn Entertainment has nerfed this SMG, making it even harder to control than in previous seasons. Unless your recoil control is on point, you are better off finding another weapon. 

This semi-automatic marksman rifle is great at taking shot after shot but when it comes to damage you start to realize it's just an average weapon.

Not as powerful as it has been in the previous seasons, the 30-30 remains a stand-up marksman rifle. 

With a good fire rate and decent damage, the G7 holds up. This weapon is a good choice if you can hit headshot after headshot.

Dealing a surprisingly high amount of damage, the Havoc is a great weapon early on. You will need the Turbocharger later if you don't want the delay to be a problem, but overall the Havoc is a versatile gun. 

Like the other shotguns in this tier, the Mastiff is a great weapon for the style of play happening now. It's consistent, just not as powerful as the others.

The Peacekeeper is a good hard-hitting shotgun, but is not as consistent as the Mastiff.

Many agree that the Sentinel is the go-to sniper rifle, due to the charge-up potential. If you can hit consistent headshots, you will decimate the enemy.

The only reason this SMG is not in the S tier is simply because there are better weapons out there. It's easy to use and diverse enough that it's a decent weapon in almost all situations but that doesn't make it the best.

The most popular SMG this season has to be the C.A.R. It's perfect for running into danger, unleashing your mag, and still being alive to talk about it. Not much can be said against it, especially when it comes to how diverse it is with ammo types and attachments. 

In season 20, the L-STAR has been improved. As long as you remember that this weapon is an LMG and won't be as fast as other weapons, you can adapt and catch your opponents off guard. 

There isn't much to be said about the Prowler. It did lose the potential to be a fully automatic when it came out of the care package, but if you take the time to learn how to use it as a burst fire weapon, you will see how strong it can be.

Even though the Hemlok is not as powerful as it was in previous seasons, the nerfs haven't knocked it out of S tier. It remains one of the strongest guns in the game. If you don't like it as a burst-fire weapon, switch to single fire and it works great at medium-to-long distances.
