How the guide works

We are trying here to share our preferences with you to help you make the right choice when building your arsenal and that is why for each category, the weapons have been sorted from the best one to the least one.

R-99

Apex Legends

Damage

Ammunition

Slot

Headshot: 18
Bodyshot: 12

Light ammo

Barrel
Optic
Mag
Stock

Although a rapid-fire automatic SMG doesn't seem to be the best option in this game, the R-99 remains quite effective in close combat if you haven't managed to get your hands on a shotgun. With 18 bullets per magazine and a high firing rate, this weapon can inflict a reasonable DPS.

Alternator SMG

Apex Legends

Damage

Ammunition

Slot

Headshot: 19
Bodyshot: 13

Light ammo

Barrel
Optic
Mag
Stock

More stable than the R-99, the Alternator has only 16 bullets per magazine and inflicts only one additional point of damage. In short, a weapon of final resort to replace as soon as possible, but useful for the beginning of games when everyone tries to get their hands on a weapon.

Prowler Burst PDW

Apex Legends

Damage

Ammunation

Slot

Headshot: 21 per bullet
(105 in total)
Bodyshot: 14 per bullet
(70 in total)

Heavy ammo

Optic
Mag
Stock
Hop-Up

We will get to the point for this weapon: you need to avoid it at all costs unless you manage to get your hands on the compatible Hop-Up. Without this accessory, in burst mode, the weapon can only fire 4 rounds with its 20 bullets per magazine. Moreover, its enormous recoil makes it a very difficult weapon to use, just go away from it...
