Best Guns For Beginners Season 12

Players looking to try Apex Legends for the first time will find these guns are the best for them to use.

Assault rifle

R-301 Carbine

Ammo: Light
Slots: Barrel Stabilizer, Extended Light Mag, Assault Rifle Optics, Standard Stock, Anvil Receiver
Body/Head/Leg Damage: 14/25/11
Mag Size: 18
RPM: 810
Body DPS: 189
Projectile Travel Speed: 29,000
Fire Modes: Auto, Single




The R-301 has been the go-to assault rifle in Apex Legends since launch, and after every update the game has seen, it’s still the best option. Outside of a slight boost in Season 3, the weapon has remained unchanged, which is a good thing. It fires fast, has little recoil, and can be outfitted with a slew of attachments.

Sub machine gun

C.A.R

Ammo: Heavy Rounds
Secondary ammo: Light Rounds
Slots: Barrel Stabilizer, Extended Light Mag, Extended Light Mag, SMG Optics, Standard Stock
Body/Head/Leg Damage: 13/20 /10
Mag Size: 20
Rate of fire: 930 RPM
Body DPS: 201.5
Projectile Travel Speed: 18,500 UPS
Fire Modes: Auto


The C.A.R SMG is the latest weapon to be introduced into Apex Legends. Boasting a high fire rate and extremely fast DPS, it takes the top spot among the Sub Machine Gun class.

At close range, the weapon shreds and is even very accurate when firing from the hip. The recoil can be pretty hard to control, so make sure you’re within the weapon’s range. With attachments, the recoil becomes more controllable.

You’ll definitely want an extended mag with this weapon due to its high fire rate, and that’s where the best thing about the C.A.R comes in. The C.A.R’s best feature by far is that it takes both Light and Heavy ammo, as well as magazines.

Light machine gun

Rampage

Ammo: Heavy
Slots: Barrel Stabilizer, Extended Heavy Mag, Assault Rifle Optics, Standard Stock
Body/Head/Leg Damage: 26/39/22
Mag Size: 28 / 32 / 34 / 40
Rate of fire: 300 RPM
Body DPS: 130
Projectile Travel Speed: 26500 UPS
Fire Modes: Auto


Despite being nerfed this season, the Rampage makes for a great medium to long-range weapon with a large mag, high damage, and a slow fire rate.

The best thing about the weapon is the option to charge it up with a Thermite Grenade, which speeds up its fire rate and allows you to break doors just by shooting them.
When charged up, the weapon becomes even more deadly as it can be used at closer ranges. However, this weapon definitely excels at longer distances, especially as it has hardly any recoil

Shotgun

Mastiff

Ammo: Shotgun
Slots: Shotgun Bolt, Shotgun Optics
Body/Head/Leg Damage: 88/112 /88
Mag Size: 8
Rate of fire: 66 RPM
Body DPS: 97
Projectile Travel Speed: 16,000 UPS
Fire Modes: Auto


Since the Eva-8 took some pretty big nerfs in Season 11, the Mastiff has definitely stepped up to the plate of becoming the best Shotgun in Apex Legends. The Dual Shell Hop-Up for the 30-30 and Mastiff means you can reload this weapon extremely fast, as each shell now reloads two bullets.

This is extremely useful in a game like Apex where timing and being fast is everything. Being able to quickly reload and get back in the fight can mean life or death. With a high rarity Shotgun Bolt, this weapon has a fast fire rate as well, allowing you to get high damage shots off quickly.

One thing to note about the Mastiff is that it’s a close-quarters weapon and you’ll need to be up in the enemy’s grill to really reap the benefits of this high damage shotgun.

Sniper rifle

Longbow

Ammo: Sniper
Slots: Extended Sniper Mag, Sniper Optics, Sniper Stock
Body/Head/Leg Damage: 55/118/44
Mag Size: 6
Rate of fire: 78 RPM
Body DPS: 71.5
Projectile Travel Speed: 30,500 UPS
Fire Modes: Single


Snipers aren’t the easiest weapons to use, but the Longbow is one of the more generous choices. As the latest map Storm Point is Apex’s largest, Snipers are great on it – the Longbow especially.

The Longbow has a pretty consistent fire rate and damage. The headshot multiplier is also huge, meaning if you get a headshot, you can usually down someone in just two or three shots.

Pistol

RE-45

Ammo:Light
Attachment Slots: Barrel, Mag, Optic, Hop-Up
Body/Head/Leg Damage:12/18/11
Mag Size:16
RPM: 750
Body DPS:150
Projectile Speed:19,500
Firing Modes:Full-Auto

The RE-45 has had a bit of an up-and-down journey through the seasons of Apex Legends, which seem to correspond with the addition and subtraction of Hop-Ups for this unassuming pistol. Since Season 7 the RE-45 can be fitted with a Quickdraw Holster Hop-Up, which increases its weapon switch speed, ADS speed, and hipfire accuracy, turning it into a reliable sidearm for once you've expended your main weapon in close combat with an injured enemy.
