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 minimal recoil and integrated scope. Its hitscan capabilities and high fire rate make it a breeze to take down enemies.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle excels at short to medium ranges with its rapid fire rate, making it ideal for close encounters. 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 can make it less reliable. Players might prefer the more controlled and faster-firing Holo Twister Assault Rifle.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun is a powerful choice with its fast fire rate and high damage output. However, its double-barrel design limits it to only two shots, making it challenging to secure kills with just headshots in Zero Build mode.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun is a must-have due to its similarity to the Tactical Shotgun, offering a large magazine and a fast fire rate. Its headshot damage rivals that of the Oni Shotgun, making it a versatile choice.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is the most damaging shotgun available, capable of nearly one-shotting a fully shielded player with a headshot at Legendary rarity. However, its slow fire rate can be a drawback compared to other pump shotguns.

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG offers a unique feature where its fire rate increases the longer you hold down the trigger. However, this comes with the trade-off of increased 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 output 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 drop-off at range limits its effectiveness in prolonged engagements.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol is a unique weapon in Battle Royale, with only one variant. It can lock onto targets and fire four shots simultaneously, but achieving headshots consistently requires manual firing in short bursts without aiming.

Hunting Rifle

The Hunting Rifle is the sole Sniper Rifle in Battle Royale for Chapter 6 Season 1. A well-placed headshot can be an instant kill, but it requires legendary aim to ensure you don't miss.
