How to use the Spitfire in Apex Legends: Tips, damage stats & DPS Respawn EntertainmentThe Spitfire is one of the strongest Apex Legends LMGs, but how can you master this high-damage weapon and use it to claim a game-winning victory? The Spitfire has always been one of the strongest weapons in Apex Legends, even annoyingly so. But with the 10th Season of Apex, Respawn have sent it to the care package. The Spitfire was a popular pick, but with it now in the care packages, it will be much rarer in your games. There\u2019s no big secret with Spitfire \u2013 with its methodical rate of fire, large magazine, and decent damage, the LMG can net you plenty of kills. Apex Legends Spitfire damage stats Before mowing down anything that so much dares to stray into your sights, you\u2019ll first want to familiarize yourself with the Spitfire\u2019s damage profile. While it\u2019s not the strongest gun in the game, it is capable of pumping out some decent damage per second. This is particularly true when you can land those all-important head and body shots.

The full damage breakdown for the Spitfire can be found below. Spitfire Mag attachments Arguably the strongest selling point of the Spitfire is its incredible ammo capacity. This mighty LMG can spew out hundreds of heavy rounds, provided you have the necessary ammo reserves. You\u2019ll also want to prioritize upgrading the Spitfire\u2019s Mag to avoid the gun\u2019s sluggish reload speed. Now in the care package, you\u2019ll be kitted out with the 55 round magazine. Spitfire optic attachments Here are the scopes that can be equipped to the Spitfire: 1x Holo – 1x HCOG \u201cClassic\u201d – 2x HCOG \u201cBruiser\u201d – 1x-2x Variable Holo – 3x HCOG \u201cRanger\u201d – 2x-4x Variable AOG – Tips for using Spitfire Don\u2019t constantly reload Now, this habit can be incredibly hard to break, especially if you\u2019re used to playing with Apex Legends\u2019 R-99 and Volt SMG.

In fact, the Season 8 update increased the Spitfire\u2019s reload time to 3.2 seconds, and its empty reload speed to 3.8 seconds. As a result, you\u2019ll want to find a safe place to hunker down before beginning this lengthy animation, or just switch to another weapon entirely. Pair the Spitfire with a close-range weapon While the Spitfire is capable of taking down foes in close-quarter firefights, its methodical rate of fire can leave you in the dust. Instead, it\u2019s often best to pair the LMG with close-quarter SMGs like the R-99 and Volt, or the Mastiff shotgun. After all, there\u2019s nothing worse than losing a gunfight due to a long reload animation. Once you\u2019ve finished peppering your opponents from afar with the Spitfire, don\u2019t be afraid to aggressively push them. The Spitfire really excels at mid-range firefights and can quickly down your targets when they\u2019re rushing between cover. Just remember to switch to your secondary when going for those aggressive flanks. Constantly replenish Heavy rounds The Spitfire is an incredibly greedy LMG and can quickly chew through hundreds of rounds, especially if you have the purple mag attachment. As a result, you\u2019ll want to ensure you have plenty of Heavy rounds in your inventory.
