Apex Legends Season 5 Weapon Tier List
S Tier
- Kraber
- L-Star
- Devotion
- R-99
A Tier
- Longbow
- Mastiff
- Peacekeeper
- Hemlok
- Prowler PDW
- R-301 Carbine
- G7 Scout
- Wingman
- M600 Spitfire
Some might be surprised to find the Matiff in A Tier, considering it was rotated from a care package weapon to a regular weapon for Season 5. Despite its new availability, developers nerfed the gun so much, including reducing its damage per pellet from 18 to 13 and reducing its headshot multiplier from 2 to 1.25, that it had to be dropped one tier in the rankings.
B Tier
- Havoc
- Sentinel
- EVA-8 Shotgun
- VK-47 Flatline
- Charge Rifle
- RE-45
- Alternator
Alternator made a jump from the extended Season 4 May 2020 weapon tier list due to a change in mag size from 16 to 19. The extended mags changed as well, with Level 1 extended mag now at 22, Level 2 at 25, and Level 3 at 27.
C Tier
- Triple Take
- P2020
Leave on the Ground Tier
- Mozambique
