Apex Legends Gun Tier List: Care Package & Ground Loot Damage Profiles
Weapon DPS, projectile velocity, and handling tier list for Apex Legends Season 2026. The definitive ranking of Care Package red drops vs floor loot.
Apex Legends Weapon Meta in Season 2026
Success in ranked Apex matches demands carrying a versatile loadout: one high-velocity poke weapon for farming EVO armor and one high-DPS close-range weapon for cracking red shields in close-quarters skirmishes.
Season 2026 Weapon Tier Hierarchy
- S+ Tier (Care Package): Kraber .50-Cal (One-shot headshot), Bocek Compound Bow (Deadly silent 70-dmg hits), EVA-8 with Double Tap.
- S Tier (Ground Dominators): Nemesis Burst AR (Energy DPS ramp-up), Flatline (Unforgiving heavy punch), Peacekeeper (Kinetic Feeder choke).
- A Tier (Reliable Workhorses): R-301 Carbine (Easy laser recoil), Volt SMG (Low recoil energy hipfire), Triple Take.
- B Tier (Niche): Spitfire LMG, G7 Scout, Mastiff Shotgun.
The Nemesis Still Reigns Supreme
Despite repeated adjustments, the Nemesis Burst AR remains the king of mid-range combat. Once its burst charge bar fills to 100%, its fire rate accelerates to near-automatic speeds with zero projectile drop at 75 meters.
