All Headshot Stats for Assault Rifles in Chapter 6 Season 1

Holo Twister Assault Rifle

The Holo Twister Assault Rifle stands out as the top 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.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle is ideal for short to medium-range engagements due to its rapid fire rate. However, it has the lowest damage output among Assault Rifles and can be challenging to control due to its recoil.

Ranger Assault Rifle

While the Ranger Assault Rifle boasts the highest headshot damage in its class, its lack of a scope and significant kickback make it less reliable. Players might prefer the more controlled firing of the Holo Twister.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun offers quick firing and high damage, but its double-barrel design limits you to only two shots. Even with consecutive headshots, it may not be enough to eliminate opponents in Zero Build mode.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun is a must-have due to its similarity to the Tactical Shotgun. With a large magazine and fast fire rate, it matches the headshot damage of the Oni Shotgun.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers the highest damage among shotguns, capable of nearly one-shotting a fully shielded opponent at Legendary rarity with a headshot. However, its slow fire rate is a notable drawback.

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG increases its fire rate the longer you hold down the trigger, but this comes with increased recoil, making consistent headshots challenging.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is the best in its class, thanks to its scope and hitscan capabilities. It offers high damage and manageable recoil.

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol is a solid starting weapon after landing from the Battle Bus, but its damage drop-off limits its effectiveness at longer ranges.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol is a unique weapon that can lock onto targets and fire four shots at once. However, achieving consistent headshots is difficult without manual aiming.
