5 best weapons to use in Apex Legends Season 25

1) Volt SMG

The Volt SMG stands out for its stability and consistent performance in close-quarters combat. This weapon isn't just fast, it also has really high damage for its category. Its low recoil and good handling make it a reliable choice for anyone seeking a dependable submachine gun. Players are recommended to equip a Laser Sight to improve their hip-fire accuracy.

2) Hemlok Burst AR

We've had the Nemesis dominate the assault rifle landscape for quite a while now, and we are pretty sure that fans are relieved to finally see it drop from a top 5 weapons list. The Hemlok is the new meta burst AR. Its base damage and headshot multiplier have been buffed with the latest update, and if you're proficient with your trigger finger, this weapon will help you score some easy eliminations.

The base magazine capacity of the Hemlok has been increased, and each level of extended magazine also features more ammo. This allows you to deal suppressive fire and ensures that you do not need to keep reloading after every 4 bursts.

3) Havoc Rifle

The Havoc Rifle is back as floor loot. While it is not everyone's cup of tea, the Havoc remains one of the strongest assault rifles in the game. Its ability to tear through enemy armor and flesh health makes it a fantastic weapon pick in the latest season of Apex Legends.

Since it has been moved from the Care Package, the Havoc has been slightly nerfed. However, its base stats are more than enough to wreak havoc against enemy squads. Since the weapon no longer needs a Turbocharger, you are pretty much set to dominate the entire competitive landscape in the game.

4) Wingman

The Wingman is still in the competitive meta, thanks to its impressive damage per shot. While the magazine is quite small (which you can extend by simply using an Extended Sniper Magazine), its impressive range and stability compensate for it.

The Wingman is an ideal weapon for players who have good aim. Do note that newcomers might struggle to get used to it.

The latest addition of the laser sight to this weapon also makes it quite scary to go up against. The laser sight improves hip-fire accuracy, and if you have one equipped, you can try hip-firing enemies when you're in close-quarter combat.

5) G7 Scout

The G7 Scout is yet another high-damage marksman weapon that requires high skills to use. With one of the best headshot multipliers and even the option to switch the firing mode, it can adapt to any situation in the game. With the addition of the Accelerator Hop-Up, players can gain EVO and Ultimate Charge more rapidly.

That concludes the list of best weapons to use in Apex Legends Season 25. Do note that everyone's playstyle differs, and some of these guns might not work out for everyone. Considering this, exploring the game and trying each weapon on your own will always be the best option.
