i tested the guns to find the best guns thats easier to win with c my results

the videos are slowed down to 25 percent speed so i could press start on the timer.

here is a video with a millisecond timer showing the damage on a target. for the alternator, r-301, and r-99:

here is another video showing the energy weapons using a millisecond timer: 

here is the heavy ammo guns the spitfire and flatline measured with a millisecond timer showing their damage on a target: 

unless specified otherwise each shot taken at about 12 feet away at the chest, no attachments except for the havoc using the turbocharger for single fire to be accessible.


light ammo:
g7 = 6
alternator = 13
r99 = 18
r301 = 15
p2020 = 12
r45 = 17


heavy:
flatline = 11
hemlock = 10
spitfire = 12
wingman = 5
3030 full charge = 4
3030 low charge = 5


energy:
lstar = 12
havok = 12
devotion = 13
volt = 14


red prowler = 15
red triple take full charge = 3
red triple take low charge = 3
red kraber = 2


bocek full power = 4
bocek low power = 8


mastiff at 2 feet = 3 shots
eva8 at 2 feet = 4 shots
peacekeeper hipfire at 2 feet = 3 shots
peacekeeper ads full charge at 2 feet = 3 shots
mozambique at 5 feet away ads and hipfire = 5 shots


the best light gun is the alternator
the best heavry gun is the flatline
the best energy gun is the lstar


the lstar is faster ttk than the flatline
the flatline is faster ttk than the alternator


so for close hairy situations use a lstar, for further away situations use a alternator or flatline.

    @E9ine_AC What you mention about some just being more comfy with certain guns is one reason I love apex. The guns are incredibly well balanced on this game.
  • @E9ine_AC yeah it's true that any gun is useful in the right hands but when calculating ttk, you don't take no of bullets needed to kill into account. Or recoil control for that matter. It's about how fast a gun can kill someone, so damage per second is more important.

    @BaldWraithSimp Well that is exactly my point. Up close battle as an example. Say so close your forced to hip firing verse ads. Which gun are you likely to hit more bullets with? A 99 that erratic recoil and spray patterns or an alternator who can control the gun much easier for more accurate shots to be landed thus being the easy kill verse the one with a stronger gun. So for me it's even better than a 99 most of the time I see myself running past them now or swapping them with an alternator because of its advantages the 99 can miss out on. Then you have the chance someone actually tries to ads a strafer up close. Which will miss a lot of 99 shots for a lot of people due to not being able to keep up and track the strafe. To where alt can just hipfire and they are dead. So for myself its just the better gun right now.

    @E9ine_AC I agree. In the end its up to the players. To me the best guns are the RE-45 and the Hemlok, what about it? I am downing many people lately with those.

    And the worst for me is the Havoc. Like, yes, I agree its deadly. Not for my enemies though. No seriously, that thing is so slow to fire I just hate it.
