The 8 Best Weapons in Season 8 of Apex Legends

8. TRIPLE TAKE: The Triple Take is currently the king of snipers. Great fire rate, plenty of shots in a clip, good overall damage. What more can you ask for? (Credit: Respawn Entertainment)

7. EVA-8: Shotguns are as popular as ever and the EVA-8 is the easiest one to use. That doesn't mean it's, quite the contrary, it's quite effective and very forgiving in close range. (Credit: Respawn Entertainment/Corwin Paradinha)

6. VOLT: The Volt is the only energy-type weapon on our list as it offers very low recoil that's easy to control, good damage, and excellent fire rate. (Credit: Respawn Entertainment)

5. SPITFIRE: For a light machine gun, the Spitfire doesn't look that light! It packs quite the punch, has a massive magazine, and does well at any distance. (Credit: Respawn Entertainment/Eric Simard)

4. FLATLINE: The Flatline is the AK-47 of Apex Legends. It's accurate, it deals heavy damage, and you can switch between auto and single shots. It also has the Anvi Receiver hop-up to boost single shots. (Credit: Respawn Entertainment/Eric Simard)

3. R-301: Slightly ahead of the Flatline is the R-301. Overall, it deals 1 less damage per second when compared but it's much easier to control its recoil and that gives it the edge on our list. (Credit: Respawn Entertainment/Kevin Neal)

2. R99: The R99 is the highest damage per second weapon in the game right now (at least on ground loot) with 198. It has an insanely fast rate of fire of 1080 RPM. Compare that to the R-301's 816. (Credit: Respawn Entertainment/Matthew Sharp)

1. MASTIFF: The one weapon to rule them all. The Mastiff feels like it's more than just a shotgun. With a full shot on the body, it deals 104 damage so two shots will deal with most enemies. To make it all even better, ADS lowers the spread and makes it effective at more than just close range. Peek, shoot, hide, repeat until they drop! (Credit: Respawn Entertainment/Corwin Paradinha)
