All Headshot Stats for Assault Rifles in Chapter 6 Season 1

Holo Twister Assault Rifle

The Holo Twister Assault Rifle stands out as the premier choice in Chapter 6 Season 1, thanks to its low recoil and integrated scope. Its hitscan mechanics and high fire rate make it a breeze to take down enemies at various ranges.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle excels at short to medium distances with its rapid fire rate, making it ideal for close-quarters combat. However, its lower damage output and higher recoil might be challenging to manage for some players.

Ranger Assault Rifle

Although the Ranger Assault Rifle boasts the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, its lack of a scope and significant recoil can make it less reliable. Players seeking a more controlled and faster-firing option might prefer the Holo Twister.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun is highly effective due to its fast fire rate and substantial damage. However, its limited two-shot capacity means players may struggle to eliminate opponents in a single engagement, even with consecutive headshots.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun is a go-to choice due to its similarity to the Tactical Shotgun, offering a large magazine and rapid fire rate. Its headshot damage is comparable to the Oni Shotgun, making it a versatile option.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is the most damaging of the shotguns, capable of nearly one-shotting an opponent with a Legendary headshot. Its slow fire rate, however, means players must make every shot count.

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG's fire rate increases the longer you hold down the trigger, but this comes at the expense of higher recoil, making consistent headshots challenging.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is the top choice in its class, thanks to its scope and hitscan capabilities. It offers high damage output and manageable recoil, making it a formidable weapon in any skirmish.

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol is a solid starting weapon, appreciated for its fire rate. However, its damage drop-off over distance limits its effectiveness in prolonged engagements.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol is a unique weapon in Battle Royale, firing four shots at once when locked on. While this can be advantageous, achieving headshots consistently without manual aiming is difficult.
