Apex Legends gun tier list for January 2020 has been the same for most of Season 3 as Respawn Entertainment focused on Legend buffs and nerfs in the latest update.

Gibraltar received a massive buff which allows him to quick heal and revive his teammates inside his own dome. He basically is a more effective Lifeline. But when it comes to weapons, there are clear favorites to use. Here is a list of the best weapons in the game.

Apex Legends Gun Tier List for January 2020

Apex Legends S-Tier

  • Kraber
  • Mastiff
  • Peacekeeper
  • R-99

The weapons include two legendary weapons which speak for themselves, but despite all the nerfs, Peacekeeper is still the king of close-up fights. The R-99 is simply the best close-medium range weapon in the game with enough attachments. Though, an extended magazine is a must.

Apex Legends A-Tier

  • Flatline
  • Longbow
  • EVA-8
  • Triple Take
  • R-301
  • Charge Rifle

Energy Weapons made a rebound in Season 3 with multiple buffs and the Charge Rifle was broken for a whole month before Respawn Entertainment finally nerfed it. Even with those nerfs, it's a powerful weapon. Any of these can win you a match.

Apex Legends B-Tier

  • G7-Scout
  • Hemlok
  • Havoc
  • Spitfire

The Havoc and G7 are solid weapons in their own right, but with the right attachments, they jump to A-tier. But all four are solid weapons.

Apex Legends C-Tier

  • Devotion
  • Alternator
  • L-Star
  • RE-45

Every one of these weapons needs attachments to stay in the C-tier otherwise they drop down. You want to replace these weapons as soon as possible.

Apex Legends Trash-Tier

  • P2020
  • Mozambique

If you pick up these weapons, drop it and use fists instead.
