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 among Assault Rifles 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 target enemies effectively.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle excels in short to medium-range engagements with its rapid fire rate, making it ideal for intense firefights. However, its lower damage output and challenging recoil might require more practice to master.

Ranger Assault Rifle

While the Ranger Assault Rifle boasts the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, its lack of a scope and significant kickback make it less reliable for some players. Those seeking faster, more controlled firing might prefer the Holo Twister.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun is a powerhouse with its high damage output and fast firing rate. However, its limited two-shot capacity means players need to be precise, as even two consecutive headshots in Zero Build might not guarantee a kill.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun is a reliable choice reminiscent of the Tactical Shotgun, offering a large magazine and rapid fire rate. Its headshot damage rivals that of the Oni Shotgun, making it a versatile pick for close-quarters combat.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers the highest damage among shotguns, capable of nearly one-shotting opponents at Legendary rarity with a headshot. Its slower fire rate, however, might be a drawback in rapid encounters.

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG offers an intriguing dynamic with its increasing fire rate when the trigger is held down. Yet, its high recoil can make consistent headshots challenging, requiring players to balance speed and accuracy.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is the top choice among SMGs, thanks to its scope and hitscan capabilities. Its high damage output and manageable recoil make it an excellent pick for players seeking precision and power.

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol serves well as a starting weapon after landing from the Battle Bus. Its decent fire rate is offset by a notable damage drop-off at range, making it less effective in longer engagements.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, a rare find in Battle Royale, features a unique mechanic that locks onto targets and fires four shots simultaneously. However, achieving headshots requires manual firing in short bursts rather than relying on the lock-on feature.
