The best weapons in ALGS Split 1 Playoffs have given a spectacular overhaul to the Apex Legends competitive scene. The Assault rifles have taken over the meta scene again, swiping away marksman weapons, shotguns, and SMGs. This could be attributed to certain buffs given to Assault Rifles during Season 20, including the R301 with its reduced hip fire recoil. The SMGs have fallen off the top spot with weapons like the R-99 which got nerfed due to its increased vertical and horizontal recoil.

The best weapons in ALGS Split 1 Playoffs have also begun to change the underlying weapon meta in Apex Legends. Fans are on the lookout to find the weapons that the pros are using in the tournaments but an overwhelming list makes it confusing for them to choose one.

This article provides players with the five best weapons in ALGS Split 1 Playoffs that are being used by the pros in the tournament.
