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 built-in scope. Its hitscan mechanics and high fire rate make it a breeze to hit enemies, even at a distance.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle excels in close to medium-range combat with its rapid fire rate, making it ideal for quick engagements. However, its lower damage output and challenging recoil might make it less appealing for some players.

Ranger Assault Rifle

Despite boasting the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, the Ranger Assault Rifle can be unreliable due to its lack of a scope and significant kickback. Players seeking more control and speed might prefer the Holo Twister.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun delivers high damage and a fast fire rate, but its double-barrel nature limits it to just two shots. Even with consecutive headshots in Zero Build, it might not suffice to eliminate opponents.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun is a must-have due to its similarity to the Tactical Shotgun. With a large magazine and rapid fire rate, it matches the Oni Shotgun in headshot damage while offering more shots.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun boasts the highest damage among shotguns, capable of nearly one-shotting a fully shielded opponent with a Legendary headshot. However, its slow fire rate may be a drawback compared to other Pump Shotguns.

All Headshot Stats for SMGs in Chapter 6 Season 1

Surgefire SMG

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

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is the top SMG choice, thanks to its scope and hitscan capabilities. It offers high damage and manageable recoil, making it a formidable weapon in close-quarters combat.

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol is a solid starting weapon after landing from the Battle Bus, offering a decent fire rate. However, its damage drops off quickly due to its small size, making it less effective in prolonged fights.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, a rare find in Battle Royale, can lock onto targets and fire four shots at once. However, achieving headshots with this method is unlikely unless you manually fire in short bursts without aiming.

Hunting Rifle

The Hunting Rifle is the sole Sniper Rifle in Battle Royale this season. A well-placed headshot can be an instant kill, but it requires legendary aim to ensure you don't miss.
