Plus, the new season handed out a list of weapon buffs and nerfs that allowed multiple S-Tier weapons to dominate the game.

Here's a breakdown of the best weapons currently in Apex Legends.

Best Weapons in Apex Legends Season 18

Check out the best weapons in Apex Legends Season 18.

Nemesis Burst Assault Rifle

The Nemesis Burst Assault Rifle is still the best gun to run in Apex Legends. With little recoil and the best TTK in the game, the Nemesis is a must-use for all players looking to dominate mid-range engagements. Although Burst Rifles might not be for everyone, the Nemesis is too good to ignore. Plus, the more shots you land, the greater charge the AR has.

C.A.R. SMG

After a nerf to the R-99, the C.A.R. is the best SMG to run in Apex Legends Season 18. The C.A.R.'s lethal up-close damage makes the weapon consistent and forgiving, allowing players to take down enemies with Purple or higher armor even if they miss a few shots. And, the SMG can take both light and heavy ammo, making it the most versatile option in the game.

VK-47 Flatline Assault Rifle

The VK-47 Flatline Assault Rifle has stepped up in Apex Legends: Resurrection as the second-best AR. Its TTK rivals the Nemesis and its slower fire rate is perfect for ammo conservation. The Flatline is a great weapon to use off spawn, as long as you can control the recoil.

30-30 Repeater Marksman Rifle

The 30-30 Repeater Marksman Rifle is the perfect option to apply pressure and deal some damage in mid to long-range gunfights. Not only is the weapon easy to shoot, but it also reloads two rounds at a time, giving players plenty of ammo to use in a much quicker timeframe.
