In the Apex Games, heavy weapons pack a punch. Despite their bulkiness and more pronounced projectile drop, heavy weapons make up for their downfalls with their high damage per second (DPS) and large mag sizes. Heavy ammo is distinguished by the color green, making for easy identification during gameplay 

Apex Legends has five heavy weapons. They can all be found randomly throughout the map. Depending on the season, gold heavy weapons rotate into care packages or in high tier loot areas. 

This list breaks down the available heavy weapons by their current stats and utility. Players should consider picking up one of these babies if they want to shred through armor and do some serious damage.   

5. M600 Spitfire

The M600 Spitfire is a submachine gun manufactured by Jaewon Industries. Equipped with a level 3 (purple) extended heavy mag, the Spitfire has the highest magazine capacity of all the weapons in the Apex Games. Although it can be used at short distances, recoil is often unpredictable, making barrel stabilizers a crucial attachment. The Spitfire’s cons sometimes elicit a “spray and pray” mentality among inexperienced players.

4. VK-47 Flatline

A callback to Titanfall 2, the VK-47 Flatline is a well-balanced assault rifle. It has best in class hipfire accuracy and decent recoil at close to medium range. Switch between Automatic and Single-fire modes without a hop-up.

3. Prowler Burst PDW

Based on the real-life P90, the Prowler submachine gun pays tribute to the fictional arms manufacturer from Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed. Pros include excellent hipfire in full-auto mode and the highest SMG magazine capacity with a level 3 extended heavy mag. Players should scour the map for a Selectfire Receiver hop-up as the Prowler is burst-only without it.

Head/Body/Legs DMG (Burst): 115/75/60

2. Hemlok Burst AR

Debuting in Titanfall 1, the Hemlock has become a Respawn staple. This high accuracy assault rifle has the second-fastest single-shot rate of fire in the game after the P2020. It is ideal for mid to far range combat as players are only limited by how fast they can pull the trigger. 

Weapon Stats

Fire-Modes: Burst, Single

Rate of Fire: 490 RPM (Burst) and 384 RPM (Single)

DPS: 180 (Burst) and 141 (Single)

1. Wingman

Standard issue amongst the pros, the Wingman has made an appearance in all the Titanfall games and isn’t going away anytime soon. Prized for its high damage per shot, this hand cannon is perfect for breaking shields and finishing enemies. It is the only pistol that keeps its headshot multiplier regardless of range. 

Weapon Stats

Fire-Modes: Single

Rate of Fire: 156 RPM

DPS: 117

Head/Body/Legs DMG: 90 (2.0x)/45/41

• Excellent performance at all ranges. 
• Open doors easily by shooting their handle.
