RANKING The BEST WEAPONS In Apex Legends Season 20! (Tier List)

[@TimProVision]

Which weapons are you using the most this season? I appreciate all the support on this seasons videos. Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to hop into the discord if you have any questions or need teammates to party up with!

[@Oliver-gaming-goat]

Pk and R-99

[@X1mizzle]

Volt Hemlok

[@captpootis8495]

r99/car with any good long-range weapon. So think g7, 3030, longbow, chargerifle, triple take, etc. Something thats great in spamming and decent hipfire if my r99 didnt do the job.

[@SterlingArthur]

Sentinel mozam

[@X1mizzle]

@@SterlingArthur no offence but WHAT

[@TysonASMR]

They need to make the p2020 a care package weapon and make it broken af for one season

It still wouldn't change much since people aren't used to that gun since they never use it.

​@@SterlingArthurI mean it's not that hard to use as long as you got decent aim and trigger finger. Especially with hammers

Make it come with two so you can dual wield them

[@ArmandoMorales325]

Funny how it's pretty much the only gun I use lol

[@AustoLaVista]

I would def say the R99 has def felt lackluster this season. I find myself leaning more for the CAR and even the Alternator which is crazy.

[@robertkallem5922]

alternators been slapping for me

[@xSiLeNcExReApErx]

True the R99 feels like a pea shooter in my hands while the alternator slaps even in the endgame. Buff R99 pls

[@KBaller559]

I think they did something to the recoil cause that shit be kicking now😅

[@ayzeeB]

@@xSiLeNcExReApErxidk everyone used to run the gun, and just 1 clip people, I don’t mind the R-99 staying where it’s at, the R-99 was like the crazy Seer meta, the R-99 has had its time to shine, time for other guns to shine.

[@xSiLeNcExReApErx]

[@SkillBeatz]

Scout in B tier is wild. It’s one if the best weapons to do entry damage or get first knock. The speed at which I can drop guys with it if they poke too mich is insane

[@SterlingArthur]

Agreed

[@allenpaskewitz276]

Yeah but is it better than the 3030 for that task though? I feel like if someone's pushing me I would rather have the scout but if were just peeking and trying to get a knock give me the 3030 all day

[@Rolariz]

@@allenpaskewitz276 true especially the higher up the ranks you go, the more people are going to stay more reserved and just poke

[@ayzeeB]

Miss the good ole days, when you could put any sniper scope on the triple take and G7 Scout but now with just a 2-4x with hitting 24s for the scout doesn’t feel the best to be honest, especially as a Newcastle main.

[@maxvanderhoning8375]

14:02 the slow-mo with the pk dead center, only to end up hitting for 9 is toooo accurate

[@bestfonzi488]

I gotta say the Re-45 has been feeling really nice this season. Being able to move a bit quicker and reload is worth it. When the hammer points are on it’s so much fun to use. Wiped out squads with this pistol before.

[@SterlingArthur]

I really hate that gun, but if you like it then ok.

[@manjo5416]

Re45 with ballistic is the real meta trust me

[@xneutralgodx]

It is insane in everyway except dmg numbers very significantly

[@Adam-de8jm]

[@joshuawachter1704]

@@Adam-de8jm yeah I agree

[@ayzeeB]

@@Adam-de8jmYeah triple take is good, especially when it hits for those 60s, even more so now because of the shield changes. People who still have blue or purple shield have fun trying survive it out in the open, but snipers will be better at this point since they hit for more consistent damage.

[@corvax8644]

Nemesis/havoc + pk has been shredding for me this season

[@patrickburton1401]

Havoc PK or mastiff best combo by far

[@ivanshernandez4922]

My exact loadout this season. Nemesis is so good!

[@thebattlecrier1448]

As a newbie who started with Apex this season, I have to say Im slowly finding my preferences with weapons.. in very 1st week I ran R301 simply for easy recoil and usually added PK or Mastiff for close range punch.. Slowly went over G7 and 3030 and forced myself to play with burst fire weapons.. Now I can say most reliable for me is combination Hemlok and Havoc (if I find Turbocharger, without it I rather dont touch this gun).. followed by R301 and TripleTake

[@arker5835]

Ayyye my type of guy. Apex be tough sometimes. I play ranked and am trying for plat today before the reset in 2 days.. if u want my tag lmk! I'd rock some duos with you

[@drsquatchman6685]

Nerd

[@fumb3335]

R99 A tier is stupid. You said lots of flaws and still put it that high. R99 has barely any damage and low mag, you can barely kill any 1. Calling it good when its fully kitted feels very unfair against the alternator, considering it has such a low rating because of disruptor

[@SeedOilHater]

Skill issue

[@sparrowhunter1671]

Just because you suck at it doesn't mean it's a bad gun

[@TimProVision]

It still has the best TTK in the game. Hit all your shots and you will win, simple as that.

[@ar8590]

@@TimProVision that logic doesn’t make much sense. You’re rating these guns in totality right? So a weapon with bad range, abysmal recoil, mag size, requires numerous attachments, but has the highest ttk by an extremely small margin should not be in A tier lol.

[@ar8590]

@@TimProVisionon top of the fact that weapons overlap in purpose. The R-99 is an smg, that’s prettt much the most competitive class of weapon rn. The truth is an r-99 user will lose out to a prowler, volt, car, or even an alternator more times than not.

[@EuphoriaFF2]

I use the Flatline / R301 for my primary weapon, and the CAR / Volt as a secondary weapon.I’m sad with the r99 nerfs. How a god tier weapon went to absolute mediocre. I might try to get into the Prowler and Havoc this season. Great vid Tim!

[@itzkopu]

Thank you for updating these so quickly! Love the content and the work you put into it

[@nitsuasiwel]

rampage this season is my favorite weapon because it has everything you could want in a weapon. high damage, versatile range, low ammo consumption, it’s just so good. surprisingly fun/easy to use at close range as well. i barely use the thermite charge though, i don’t really think it helps the gun much but i’ll use it sometimes to break down doors

[@xSiLeNcExReApErx]

Same. This weapon feels so strong somehow although I don't really like the base firerate but the damage output is INSANE.

[@logankcm9557]

Apex really just needs to release a map, gun and two game modes in one season cuz it’s been a year since the nemesis was added

[@rigbyw.6041]

I’m absolutely loving the prowler!

[@TimProVision]

Its really great this season!

[@giovannij1368]

Tbh, when the Scout had the Double tap trigger hop up, I used to look for it. I used to not be a fan of the 30-30 but now I do enjoy using it. I love the triple take tho, especially close range hip fire is 👍🏾

[@sadisyourlife]

havoc is criminally underrated, its unironically better than every smg in the game while offering every positive thing an ar does.

[@kadekleven9418]

Alternator has been my fav smg this season but I think volts the best smg all around. Best reload, recoil, damage

[@PeepTheHues]

The Mozam is B tier at least. Just use it like a wingman/eva combo. If you have an AR use it to finish up enemies you can’t one clip. It doesn’t have the same burst damage as the other shotguns but the fact it can consistently do quick chunks of damage at mid range makes it viable alternative.

[@Ghost-Toast819]

the flatline has become a must pick for me the mastiff is usually my second right now. though after seeing this i will have to give the car and volt another go. i used the r99 a ton the last few seasons and i kind ditched the smgs after their nerfs this season but im hyped to hear the car is actually better than the r99 since it was the first smg that i mastered

[@nachos_supreme]

As a master player on PC after playing a bit this season, I havent picked up the prowler much yet, but I agree with literally every gun. W video too, lots of good points

[@olivernixon1532]

When you coming out with the season 21 list?

[@Ambatukam_Bro]

I favor Rampage and Sentinel over everything. The reasons are quite simple 1) if you have ANY talent with snipers, then a charged Sentinel will be a DIVINE tier weapon 2) the dps output of a charged rampage is **absolute madness,** I even have a clip where I eliminated 15 players within 4 minutes with only 2 Rampage mags. Overall, I'd say that these weapons should fall under the "sleeper build" tier, in other words, the tier where using a weapon to it's maximum capability will bring you above any other weapon (even if you use the other weapons at their max capability too!)

[@mikeynojob]

hemlok mastiff has been crazy this season

[@yeahmanekickdatshit]

hemlok mid

[@CNORYN]

Even though the R9 feels terrible compared to what it used to be, it’s still really strong. Having such a high rate of fire lets you do so much damage extremely quickly so until the nerf the actual damage or fire rate, it’s always gonna be strong

[@chaseoswald7904]

I know what would fix the placement of pistols and LMGs. But it would be unpopular with the the speed demon, aggressive play making types. I’m under the very firm belief that swapping weapons shouldn’t be faster than reloading. There’s no reason someone should miss 2/3 of the shots in their rifle and panic swap to the PK and secure the kill faster than reloading their gun and being punished for their inaccuracy. Switching to a full sized weapon takes time. Double the amount of time it takes to weapon swap, other than pistols. That gives pistols a place as a solid secondary, and requires sacrificing a powerhouse weapon for kill security. And it gives LMGs a place because now that extended magazine has value and TTK isn’t the only thing that matters. Plus you could give Skirmishers or Controllers 10% or 15% more weapon swap sessions speed. Both need better passives honestly.

[@SterlingArthur]

Your list is so long, the apex devs won't read all of it, let alone change what you've said.

[@chaseoswald7904]

@@SterlingArthur I mean, it’s really just double the the time it takes to swap weapons other than pistols. The rest was the reasons why.

[@chxsek]

Hot take: I don't think anyone needs to be punished for missing some shots, the game kinda does it itself

[@PeepTheHues]

The point of having a secondary like pistols is have a quicker alternative to reloading. They aren’t panic swapping to a PK that’s why the picked it up. If you are getting beat by someone that is missing 2/3 of their mag then it’s not the game that’s a problem. You are either missing as many shots or more, you got jumped, or refused to fight at all.

[@PeepTheHues]

All that’s needed to make LMGs better is buffing their damage a bit. The Lstar is good as it is. The pistols besides the 2020 are great as they are. The Mozam is underrated as a sidearm right now. For the 2020 they’d prolly need to rework the entire weapon at this point.

[@romeywirtz1219]

Longbow used to be my favorite and still occasionally pick it up and have solid games with it but find myself leaning more towards a 30-30, triple take or sentinel most of the time

And which weapon(s) do you use in CQC?

[@cjzaragoza27]

@xSiLeNcExReApErx Last season I used to look for a L-Star any chance I got for close and mid range. It's still good but I've been liking the RE-45 or any SMG besides the R99 lol

[@xSiLeNcExReApErx]

@@cjzaragoza27 Thats a perfect choice haha

[@kingler1016]

Sentinel + Volt combo with a super Aggro character like Path or Octane is my go to.

[@piroshky]

Personally I run Mad Maggie with a Mastiff/PK and a Hemlok. In close range it is lethal, in long range it is just an annoyance for the enemy.

[@MC-ns8gb]

The rampage is insane on fuze since it combos with his clusters to have pretty much never ending pressure at mid range

[@riotfist9747]

I wish they would put all categories of weapons in the care package so they can introduce more weapons to the game and have some weapons that are good as care package weapons be in there as well as rotate them more often. I.e Devotion, charge rifle(old version), wingman, eva 8*,full auto prowler, assualt weapon*, and marksman*.

@@ShadowMark3_so the re? lol P20 automatic is the re lol

[@ShadowMark3_]

@@BigSuzpekt you clearly ignored the "current state" in my original comment. The RE doesn't deal 18 DMG per bullet. The RE can't down an enemy with red armor with the base magazine, all body shots. If people didn't have to manage their trigger finger on top of tracking opponents the p20 would be near meta. And that's without hammer points.

Hemlok + PK/Mastiff is so far definitely way to go. Crazy nuts combo. 30-30 feels way too annoying around the reloading and Volt has been amazing so far, just havent found out the ideal way to what it to pair with.

Yeah the 30-30 never gave me the feeling of using a strong weapon smh. And the Volt is a truly shredding SMG even on mid range.

If you are reliable with the charge, pick it up, it shreds. I have a friend who mains the charge and I never complain when he hits back to back 100+ damage headshots.

[@XxHistorikxX]

RE-45 is slept on this season. When compared to the R9, It has a faster swap and reload time across all levels, while only sacrificing one bullet per mag. It also has a faster TTK once you get the HP on it. Then taking the easier recoil into consideration, It's actually just better than the R9 in every way.

[@aleksyolszewski989]

"how to tell you're silver player without saying youre silver". Now beeing serious, the only time RE is better than R99 is when you find it golden and got 0 attachaments for R9. Faster TTK is ONLY WITH HAMMERPOINT AND ENEMY WITH NO ARMOR, fighting someone with full shield doesn't make it faster killing weapon even with hammerpoint. Swap, holster, reload etc. are so little diffrence that you shouldn't mention it. And fact that you need hop up to make it viable, bro R9 with blue mag is just better than golden RE.

[@XxHistorikxX]

@@XxHistorikxX bro, the only thing you said was faster TTK on flesh with hammerpoint. That's the worst reason you could give to place it over R9 XD. I'll say it once more, if you fight someone who is not cracked, then even hammerpoint is not making it faster killing weapon. Now make quick calculations if you more often fight shielded enemies or not xD

[@SterlingArthur]

Why does everyone make hammerpoints the only reason to like pistols? Personally I like the P2020 because of its fast reload and that you can control the speed.

Made me feel so much better about becoming a loba main. I remember a few games before in duos i was using the triple take and immediately cracked a bloodhounds blue sheilds with a single charged body shot. Its honestly my favorite sniper and in some cases can be used as a makeshift shotgun when using the hipfire. Probably the most versitile weapon.
