Apex Legends Mobile is a game that’s as challenging as it is fun, in addition to being both profound and accessible in equal parts. If you’re just starting out with this battle royale from Electronic Arts, you’ll need to get familiar with a few basics in order to start winning games and gaining experience. That’s exactly why we’re here today: to tell you which are the best weapons to choose and give you some key tips to help you win.
What is Apex Legends Mobile?
Apex Legends Mobile is a battle royale, a first or third-person shooting game that’s available for free on smartphones. Players compete in 3v3 battles to become the last team standing on a dangerous island. The game was developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts as a standalone version of the original title for PC and consoles.
The best weapons in Apex Legends Mobile
In Apex Legends Mobile, as in the original version of the game for consoles and computers, weapons are classified into several types depending on their range, strength and firing capacity. Each of these categories includes a series of options and characteristics that you need to know in order to choose the best weapon for each situation or gaming style. Here are the types of weapons that are currently available:
- Assault Rifle
- Submachine gun (SMG)
- Light machine gun (LMG)
- Shotgun
- Sniper
- Pistol
- Marksman
The best weapons in Apex Legends Mobile
Although one of the keys to playing Apex Legends Mobile is to find the type of weapon you’re most comfortable playing with, it’s clear that within each category, some are better than others. In general, the weapons obtained from drops are indisputably the most recommended, but there are always other options that you can find in the game’s world.
Below, you’ll find a list of some of the best weapons in Apex Legends Mobile:
- Wingman: This is the best pistol in Apex Legends Mobile. It’s more versatile than the rest of the pistols available and it has a powerful fire capacity with a 90/45/41 damage rate in head, body and legs, respectively. Its firing type is manual, which helps many people to be more accurate.
- Volt: This submachine gun is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, with high damage (24/16/13 in head, body and legs) and a very fast rate of fire. It doesn’t require great accuracy, as it’s very easy to control the recoil, although its rate of fire is somewhat lower compared to other submachine guns.
- Spitfire: Light machine guns are always difficult to recommend for those who don’t have much experience in the game due to the fact that using them can leave you defenseless against other opponents. However, this is the best choice if you want to try one. It offers good accuracy, a good base damage rate (with 36/18/14 for head, body and legs) and a good rate of fire. In addition, its improved magazine allows you to fire up to 60 bullets without reloading.
- R-301: It may not be the most powerful weapon of all the assault rifles in Apex Legends (with a damage rate of 28/14/11 to head, body and legs), but this carbine is undoubtedly one of the best options for its firing rate and accuracy. In addition to these strengths, it also has great range, which makes it the weapon of choice for a lot of players.
- Peacemaker: This is the shotgun par excellence. Its impressive damage rate is 185/110/88 in head, body and legs, making it a lethal tool at close range. If you’re one of those players who enjoy getting up close and personal with your opponents and shooting at point-blank, then this is the perfect type of weapon for you, as its star-shaped shot type makes missing almost impossible. To improve its firing rate (one of its main weaknesses), we recommend using the special loader accessory.
- Kraber: This is an exclusive sniper rifle that can only be found in treasure chests, but if you get it, it’s very powerful, as it has an extreme range and damage with a rate of 435/145/116 in head, body and legs. It’s a total beast and probably the only weapon in Apex Legends Mobile that allows players to kill enemies with a single shot.
- G7 Scout: This is a good mid-range weapon, which is great if you’re looking for a slightly more distanced style of play, but without having to use a sniper weapon. It has a semi-automatic firing format, a controllable firing rate and base damage of 60/34/26 to head, body and legs.
Tips for beginners in Apex Legends Mobile
Now that we’ve taken a look at which are the best weapons to use in Apex Legends Mobile, it’s worth mentioning a very important fact: winning isn’t all about the weapons in this game. Your style, expertise and experience will be decisive when it comes to winning rounds, so it’s important to practice in order to improve and become a worthy competitor.
Here are five basic tips for beginners in Apex Legends Mobile:
- Use multiple weapons: It’s very important that you don’t focus on playing with only one type of weapon, since, depending on the situation, you’ll need one shot or another. You’ll have to figure out when to change and, most importantly, do it quickly to adapt to the moment.
- Explore thoroughly: Although it is a battle royale and you have to be very careful with your rivals, the island of Apex Legends Mobile is worth exploring thoroughly because it contains many resources and treasures that will be useful if you want to win the game.
- Play as a team: Apex Legends Mobile is a team game, so it’s essential to work together with your teammates and communicate well. If you can’t play with acquaintances (something you should always try to do), take advantage of the game’s built-in communication systems to constantly talk to your teammates.
- Use and improve the shields: The EVO shields you start out playing with have different levels that increase as you inflict damage on your opponents so that the more damage you do, the more you can absorb. You can also find a body shield that absorbs less damage but doubles the healing.
- Choose the right camera and control system for you: Apex Legends Mobile has two types of cameras, first-person and third-person. Choose the one you feel most comfortable with. You can also change the touchscreen controls and even use a traditional controller.
