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 low recoil and integrated scope. Its hitscan mechanics 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

The Ranger Assault Rifle boasts the highest headshot damage in its class for Chapter 6 Season 1. However, its lack of a scope and significant kickback may make it less reliable for some players, who might prefer the more controlled firing of the Holo Twister.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun is highly effective due to its fast firing rate and substantial damage output. However, its double-barrel design limits it to only two shots, making it challenging to secure a kill 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 firing rate. Its headshot damage is comparable to the Oni Shotgun, making it a versatile choice.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

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

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG is unique for its increasing fire rate the longer you hold down the trigger. However, this comes with the trade-off of high recoil, making consistent headshots challenging.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is the best in its class, thanks to its scope and hitscan capabilities. It offers high damage output and manageable recoil, making it a top choice for players.

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol is a decent starting weapon after dropping from the Battle Bus, offering a good fire rate. However, its damage drop-off at range limits its effectiveness.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol is a rare find in Battle Royale, featuring a single variant that can lock onto targets and fire four shots at once. However, achieving consistent headshots requires manual firing in short bursts without aiming.
