Best weapons to use in Apex Legends Arenas: Ultimate tier list Respawn EntertainmentA set of buffs and nerfs to weapons in the Season 10 update has made it difficult to know which weapons are top-tier. So, here\u2019s our ultimate weapons tier list for Arenas and which guns you should use to dominate your opponents. Season 10 of Apex Legends was the game\u2019s most significant update yet, with Emergence adjusting and shifting the weapon meta in the title\u2019s battle royale mode. Not only that, the addition of a new Legend and weapon to the game has kept the community busy and gave them a number of new mechanics to master. Respawn also gave the Arenas some attention, introducing Ranked queues to give the fast-paced 3v3 mode a competitive edge. Of course, if you\u2019re going to climb the ranked ladder in Arenas, it\u2019s key you know which weapons are top tier so you can dominate your opponents. Best Apex Legends weapons: Arenas Volt \u2013 Energy Submachine Gun Kicking off this list, the Volt is a versatile and easy to control weapon that thrives in the 3v3 chaos of Arenas. While this energy-based SMG may cost 550 Materials, it\u2019s well worth the price, especially if you can afford an upgraded version heading into the later rounds. With bullet damage at 15 per shot and a recoil pattern that\u2019s relatively easy to control, the Volt is always a solid choice when you\u2019re unsure of what to buy. If you find you\u2019re missing shots with the Hemlock or Flatline, the Volt may be an effective and more consistent alternative. If you\u2019re looking to master the Volt consider checking our dedicated weapon guide. Spitfire \u2013 Care Package Heavy Machinegun Unavailable in the shop, the only way to your hands on the Spitfire is to receive the weapon from a care package drop. This means the gun will be completely kitted out with the best attachments, so it definitely deserves a spot in the S-Tier. You and your squad should always look to gain control over the area where the loot is dropped onto the Arenas map. Getting your hands on a Spitfire or one of the other care package weapons could be the difference-maker in you picking up a victory in an intense match. If you\u2019re struggling to control the Spitfire\u2019s recoil, consider checking out our dedicated weapon guide. Kraber. 50 CAL \u2013 Care Package Sniper As expected, the Kraber is also an S-tier weapon as it can only be acquired by picking it up from a care package. This massive sniper rifle certainly packs a punch and is capable of one-shotting enemies with full armor. If you\u2019re able to get your hands on a Kraber in Arenas make sure you position yourself on high ground and pick off your opponents from a distance. If you\u2019re looking to pick up more one-shot kills with Kraber, check out our weapon guide for the deadly sniper. Alternator \u2013 Care Package Light SMG While the Alternator was a solid early-round weapon in Season 9, it\u2019s now an absolutely deadly care package weapon that easily earns its spot in the S-Tier. Similar to the Spitfire, this weapon cannot be purchased from the shop, so it\u2019s key you gain control of the care package landing spot so you can melt your enemies with this incredible SMG. If you\u2019re looking to completely master the Alternator, consider checking out our dedicated guide. Triple Take \u2013 Care Package Sniper Another care package weapon, the Triple Take is deadly at long range and is a lot easier to use than the Kraber. If you\u2019re lucky enough to get this from a loot drop, make sure you\u2019re using it to chunk out your enemies before an aggressive push with your squad. If you\u2019re looking to completely master the Triple Take, consider checking out our dedicated guide. Prowler Burst PDW \u2013 Heavy SMG After being moved out of the care packages in Season 10, the Prowler has become a premium weapon in both BR and Arenas. If you\u2019re looking for an accurate burst weapon that does lethal damage at medium range, it\u2019s definitely worth purchasing the Prowler for 450 materials. If you\u2019re looking to learn how to use the Prowler effectively, consider checking our dedicated weapon guide. VK-47 Flatline \u2013 Heavy Assault Rifle The Flatline may not have the magazine size of the Spitfire, but it still offers reliable damage and even provides players with an extra level of mobility. As the weapon costs 550 Materials, it is available to purchase at round one. Although this is certainly a greedy strategy, if you can reach the loot bins before your opponents and gather some meds, it\u2019s well worth the risk. Here\u2019s our dedicated guide for the Flatline so you can master the weapon fully. EVA-8 Auto \u2013 Shotgun The reason the EVA-8 Auto is rated higher than every other shotgun in Arenas is down to the weapon\u2019s price. Costing 350 Materials total, this gun is the perfect secondary for dealing with close-range engagements. You\u2019ll often be able to pick up an EVA-8 alongside a fully upgraded weapon in the mid and later stages of a match. This allows you to be prepared for any kind of gunfight and not have to waste Materials on an expensive shotgun. If you\u2019re looking to sharpen your skills with the EVA-8, consider checking out our guide. Bocek Bow \u2013 Marksman Weapon Although the Bocek is an A-tier weapon, it\u2019s not a consistent choice for every Apex player. In order to get the most out of the Bocek, you\u2019ll need to spend a long time in the firing range and learn how to master the weapon\u2019s intricacies. The bow has a price tag of 500 Materials, which is a reduction of 100 from Season 9, so it\u2019s definitely worth buying if you\u2019re confident you can hit the target. Here\u2019s exactly how you can master the Bocek Bow in Apex Legends. Havoc \u2013 Energy Rifle While the Havoc certainly isn\u2019t as versatile as the Volt, it does absolutely shred enemies at close range. Available to purchase for a cheap 350 Materials, if you\u2019re familiar with the Havoc and can handle the weapon\u2019s recoil, it\u2019s a solid budget choice in Arenas. Check our Havoc guide if you want to master this deadly energy rifle. Longbow DMR \u2013 Sniper Rifle Getting up close and personal in Arenas is a solid strategy, but sometimes it\u2019s best to take a backseat and chip away at your enemies from afar. For 400 Materials, there\u2019s no better weapon to do that with than the Longbow. Capable of dealing lethal damage at range and a top-tier for players with a keen aim, this sniper is a great weapon to weaken your enemies before an aggressive push. The Longbow isn\u2019t an easy weapon to use, luckily we\u2019ve got a dedicated guide to help you land all of your shots. R-99 \u2013 Light SMG Having some of the fastest DPM in the game, the R-99 thrives in Arenas, particularly on smaller maps like Party Crasher. Although the gun did receive a nerf to its damage back in November of last year, it still shreds through enemy shields at close range. It is a little pricey costing a total of 500 Materials but it\u2019ll certainly help you effectively eliminate opponents in 3v3 encounters. Here\u2019s our dedicated guide for the R-99. RE-45 Auto \u2013 Light Pistol Similar to the EVA-8, the RE-45\u2019s cheap price tag is what makes it such a great early game weapon. Only costing 200 Materials, it leaves you with plenty spare to spend on meds, shields, and abilities. On top of this, the full-auto pistol is incredibly easy to control, making it simple to land shots on your opponents. This weapon is definitely not the correct choice in the later rounds but in the early game, it\u2019s an option that\u2019s even cheaper than the Alternator. If you need to sharpen your skill with the RE-45, consider checking our weapon guide for the pistol. Wingman \u2013 Heavy Pistol The Wingman has been a fan-favorite weapon since the release of Apex Legends and it\u2019s easy to see why. This hard-hitting pistol is capable of taking out enemies in an instant if you can land your shots. Unfortunately, for a lot of players in Arenas, the Wingman won\u2019t be a consistent choice and a fully auto weapon will suit them better. However, for 500 Materials, the Wingman will always be worth a buy if you can land a few headshots. Here\u2019s our weapon guide for the Wingman that\u2019ll help you land more of those deadly headshots. Sentinal \u2013 Sniper Rifle Fulfilling the same role as the Longbow, the Sentinal is a relatively cheap buy that\u2019s capable of chunking and taking out enemies from range. If you\u2019re able to force an enemy to use their shields before they can fully engage in a gunfight, you\u2019re giving your squad a massive advantage in the round. Don\u2019t forget, you\u2019ll likely want to purchase a secondary that can compete at close range just in case an enemy pushes aggressively. R-301 Carbine \u2013 Light SMG The R-301 Carbine certainly has the power and damage to make it into the S-tier of this list. Unfortunately, this classic Apex weapon has a price tag of 600 Materials, making it unbelievably expensive. Despite this, the R-301 is one of the best go-to weapons in Arenas as it can perform so well in so many scenarios. Close, medium, or long-range, the R-301 can eliminate enemies effectively, so consider picking it up in your next match. If your skills with the weapon aren\u2019t up to par, check out our R-301 weapon guide. L-Star \u2013 Energy LMG The L-Star has always been a polarizing weapon among the Apex community, with some declaring it amazing and others avoiding it completely. In Arenas, the weapon costs 500 Materials which isn\u2019t a bad price for an LMG, especially after the huge buffs it received in the Season 10 update. You can check out our weapon guide for the L-Star here. Hemlok \u2013 Heavy Assault Rifle The wide-open spaces offered in Apex\u2019s BR mode allow the Hemlok to shine and pick off opponents at medium range. However, in Arenas, there seem to be better options that provide players with more versatility. With the Hemlok costing 500 Materials, that currency is most likely better off spent on a Volt or a weapon that\u2019s built for long-range like the Longbow. That\u2019s not to say that the Hemlok isn\u2019t a viable choice as the weapon can certainly perform in the 3v3 mode. It\u2019s just not as powerful as some of its counterparts on the list. Here\u2019s our dedicated guide for the Hemlok if you want to sharpen your skills with the weapon. G7 Scout \u2013 Light Assault Rifle The G7 Scout is a difficult weapon to use in Arenas, but players who regularly use the gun in BR may find a lot of success with the semi-automatic rifle. For 400 Materials, you don\u2019t have to spend a lot of currency to get your hands on the Scout. However, the weapon will struggle to hold its own against aggressive squads who aren\u2019t afraid to get up close and personal. So, make sure you\u2019re running a shotgun or automatic weapon alongside it to ensure you don\u2019t get caught out. If you\u2019re looking to learn how to use the G7 Scout more effectively, consider checking our dedicated weapon guide. Devotion \u2013 Energy LMG The Devotion is a weapon you\u2019ll want to avoid purchasing in the earlier rounds of a match. Without the gun\u2019s Turbocharger hop up there are simply better options available to players that are significantly easier to control. Despite this, if you can get your hands on some gold attachments or fully upgrade the weapon, it\u2019s definitely an option in the late game rounds. The Devotion isn\u2019t an easy weapon to control, so check out our weapon guide for some key tips & tricks. Peacekeeper \u2013 Shotgun Perhaps one of the most satisfying weapons to use in Apex Legends, the Peacekeeper is absolutely lethal at close range in Arenas. With Respawn reducing its base price by 150 to 350 Materials in the latest update, it\u2019s an option for players who want to take combat up close and personal. While there\u2019s no denying the overwhelming power of the Peacekeeper, it should just be as an option for the late game rounds. Check out our weapon guide for the Peacekeeper so you know exactly how to use the weapon. Mastiff \u2013 Shotgun The hard-hitting Mastiff shotgun currently costs 350 Materials in Arenas, making it a good secondary pick for the late game. However, sometimes it can be better to focus on having a solid primary and buying extra meds instead of purchasing a shotgun side weapon. Check out our weapon guide for the Mastiff so you can consistently down enemies with the shotgun. 30-30 Repeater \u2013 Heavy Marksmen Rifle Introduced in Season 8, the 30-30 Repeater is widely used in Apex\u2019s BR mode by players looking for a hard-hitting medium-range weapon. Unfortunately, in Arenas, it\u2019s better to buy a Longbow or Sentinal over the Repeater in most rounds. Although the gun only costs 400 Materials, it won\u2019t be able to match aggressive squads or teams that play from the back of the map with snipers. If you\u2019re looking for a cheap semi-automatic rifle, consider picking up the G7 Scout that\u2019s more effective at close range. If you\u2019re looking to learn how to use the 30-30 Repeater more effectively, consider checking our dedicated weapon guide. Mozambique \u2013 Shotgun With the removal of the Hammerpoint Rounds hop up in Season 9, the Mozambique can no longer one-hit opponents with no armor. This means it doesn\u2019t really have a place in the Arenas meta with so many great early game options available. However, as players are given the Mozambique for free as secondary throughout the rounds, it\u2019s a helpful sidearm to have in an intense gunfight. Here\u2019s our dedicated weapon guide for the Mozambique. P2020 \u2013 Light Pistol Similar to the Mozambique, the P2020 is given out for free in Arenas as a default weapon. Although there\u2019s no reason to upgrade it, the pistol can provide that last ounce of damage you need in those early rounds. Check out our dedicated P2020 weapon guide to master the pistol. Charge Rifle \u2013 Sniper Rifle Out of all Sniper Rifle options, the Charge Rifle is by far the most difficult to use and expensive of the bunch. Costing a whopping 600 Mateirals to buy from the store, it\u2019s best to leave this gun in the shop and pick a more reliable weapon instead. If you\u2019re looking to sharpen your skills with the Charge Rifle, check out our dedicated weapon guide. There you have it, that\u2019s our ultimate Apex Legends Arenas tier list for Season 10.
