Apex Legends weapons tier list: the best guns in the battle royale game

If you're wanting to jump into Apex Legends Season 8 but can't tell your Peacekeeper from your P2020, then you're in the right place. You want to ensure that you're dealing the most damage possible at all times, and not picking up a dud weapon from a supply bin. After all, there's no use picking the best character from our Apex Legends tier list if you're going to arm them with an RE-45.
Picture this: you drop into Kings Canyon, perhaps landing at Crash Site - where the latest addition to Apex Legends, Fuse, made his explosive entrance to the games - and there are two more teams hot on your tail. After all, you want to check out all the new changes to Kings Canyon, so why drop anywhere else? You open up a Supply Bin, but what's to be found - a Mozambique. But this weapon is no longer the meme it once was, and you need an Apex Legends weapons tier list to keep up.
With the right attachments - namely Hammerpoint Rounds - a Mozambique can now down an opponent with one well-placed headshot. So even if you're a long-time player, seasonal updates will impact how well a weapon performs. Your playstyle will also affect what weapons you pick, obviously, but not all SMGs and snipers were created equal.
