Apex Legends: The 10 Best Guns In Season 5, Ranked

A video recently emerged on Reddit showing exactly how toxic random players can be. A player downs two enemies only to get knocked before a teammate kills the third. The teammates then refuse to revive the downed player. To see it and know there are few consequences for these actions is frustrating, to say the le

As applied to randoms, this optional metric would be a terrific way to incentivize good behavior. Perhaps the result of numerous positive endorsements could be a guaranteed legendary item, a unique skydive emote or a special profile ba

You might be scratching your head wondering how on Earth the Prowler made it into the Top 10 when considering the best weapons in the game for Season 5 . It all comes down to a single attachment called the select-fire hop-up. When attached it allows players to turn the gun into an assault rifle. A fully equipped Prowler turns the unwieldy and overlooked gun into something quite formidable in battle. It shouldn't be your go-to weapon, but it can make its mark in a pinch with the right pieces in pl

Sometimes in games, it feels like cosmetic items are universal and meant to work with a variety of characters, and sometimes it feels like they were made for an unnamed perfect pairing. The Gilded Hunt skin for the Charge Rifle definitely feels like the latter as the aesthetics of it magnetize it to the engineering legend, Wattson. The stark white coloring with subtle patterns makes it feel more like a tool and less like a weapon. Considering she dabbles with electricity, maybe the Charge Rifle is Wattson's preferred gun of cho

The Mastiff has somehow made its way into the regular rotation of weapons, while at the same time retaining most of its incredible strength. It should come as no surprise that with it become more common in battle it has shot up the tier list of weapons in Season 5. Over time don't be surprised if it falls down the tier list as players figure out if its reduction in power hurts its overall usefulness. Either way, it was a bold but welcoming decision to make several of the care package weapons spawn in the overwo

The L-Star, much like the Mastiff which will be discussed later on, is a weapon that was once relegated to care packages but spawns in the overworld in Season 5. A weapon that doesn't require you to reload it is pretty powerful, you just need to make sure it doesn't overheat. You can become rather careless with ammunition when you forget about reloading, so just be aware of your energy ammo supply. The speed at which your weapon can fire can become all too important, and the L-Star is best in cl

It would normally be much higher on the list but has been knocked down a bit as Season 5 has relegated it to care packages. The move also came with some nice buffs, but remember that shotguns are better when equipped with precision choke attachme

It's ridiculous that publishers don't realize the potential of African gamers. This untapped market could drastically increase their revenue and add to the already booming esports industry. African gamers relentlessly soldier on despite being shunned by publishers, and are at a constant disadvantage. If they had a level playing field, they could easily give other teams in the world a run for their mo

In the world of shotguns, the Peacekeeper has made its mark as a dangerous weapon in the hands of an opponent. Getting into a close-quarters fight with someone accurate with a Peacekeeper will likely result in your untimely dem

In the past few weeks, I've twice watched someone back out of a game because I chose the character they wanted to play. Both times, it was because my game defaulted to the character because I didn't make a selection. In one instance, I even apologized after noticing the other player had wanted to be the character I had chosen, but the player backed out anyway. It's important to note that in Apex Assault Legends Legends , selection order is randomized. In both cases, my name popped up first on the selection menu, meaning I had every right to choose whichever character I wanted to play. Regardless, backing out for something so mundane is problematic because my team is forced to play the game as a squad of two up against squads of three, which makes the game much more diffic

Puns are an interesting slice of comedy as they happen to be very divisive. Some people love puns, and others hate them. The Kraber's Season 5 skin is called Magma Might, which for Pokémon fans feels like a play on the electric magnet Pokémon's name, Magnemite. Magma Might is about what you'd expect from a skin with that name as it looks like images of magma pools grafted onto the weapon like a weird form of wallpaper. In the meta the Kraber is currently a Top 5 weapon, so you may be seeing a lot of Magma Might in your fut

Among all of the care package weapons, the Kraber is one of the ones that's still stuck to them and is a rare commodity. Most don't realize that this powerful sniper can down any legend in the game with a single headshot. This makes it an unstoppable weapon in the right hands, and to those who are most casual, it can be quite intimidating. The Kraber deals massive damage in general, so if you're not the type of player who excels at precise shots still take it upon yourself to get familiar with
