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 built-in scope. Its hitscan mechanics and high fire rate make it a breeze to take down enemies.

Fury Assault Rifle

Ideal for short to medium-range engagements, the Fury Assault Rifle boasts a rapid fire rate, perfect for intense skirmishes. However, its lower damage and challenging recoil might be a drawback 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. Players might prefer the more controlled and faster-firing Holo Twister.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun's fast fire rate and high damage make it a formidable choice, but its limited two-shot capacity means players might struggle to secure kills, even with consecutive 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 rapid fire rate, with headshot damage comparable to the Oni Shotgun.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers the highest damage among shotguns, capable of nearly one-shotting a fully shielded player with a Legendary headshot. However, its slow fire rate can be a significant disadvantage.

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG's unique feature is its increasing fire rate with sustained trigger pull, though this comes with the trade-off of 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, offering high damage and manageable recoil.

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol is a solid starting weapon after landing from the Battle Bus, but its damage drop-off limits its effectiveness in prolonged engagements.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, a rare find in Battle Royale, can lock onto targets and fire multiple shots at once. However, achieving headshots consistently requires manual firing in short bursts.
