All Headshot Stats for Assault Rifles in Chapter 6 Season 1

Holo Twister Assault Rifle

The Holo Twister Assault Rifle stands out as the best choice in its class this season, thanks to its low recoil and integrated scope. Its hitscan mechanics and rapid fire rate make it ideal for hitting enemies with ease.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle excels at short and medium ranges with its high fire rate, perfect for close-quarters combat. However, its lower damage output and higher recoil may pose challenges for some players.

Ranger Assault Rifle

Despite boasting the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, the Ranger Assault Rifle's lack of a scope and significant kickback can make it less reliable for some. Players seeking more control might prefer the Holo Twister.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun's fast firing and high damage make it a formidable weapon, but its limited two-shot capacity might not suffice for securing kills, even with consecutive headshots in Zero Build.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun, reminiscent of the Tactical Shotgun, offers a large magazine and quick fire rate, with headshot damage comparable to the Oni Shotgun, making it a reliable choice for many players.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun offers the highest damage output among shotguns, capable of nearly one-shotting opponents with a headshot at Legendary rarity. However, its slow fire rate can be a disadvantage in fast-paced encounters.

All Headshot Stats for SMGs in Chapter 6 Season 1

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG's unique feature of increasing fire rate with prolonged trigger pull is appealing, but its high recoil can make consistent headshots challenging.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is a top choice due to its scope and hitscan capabilities, offering high damage and manageable recoil.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, with its unique ability to lock onto targets and fire multiple shots, is less common but can be effective if used in short bursts to ensure headshots.
