All Headshot Stats for Assault Rifles in Chapter 6 Season 1

Holo Twister Assault Rifle

The Holo Twister Assault Rifle stands out in Chapter 6 Season 1 with its low recoil and integrated scope, making it a top choice for precision shooting. Its hitscan mechanics and solid fire rate make it exceptionally effective at engaging enemies at various distances.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle excels in close to medium-range combat thanks to its rapid fire rate. However, it has the lowest damage output among Assault Rifles and can be challenging to control due to its recoil.

Ranger Assault Rifle

Although the Ranger Assault Rifle boasts the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, its 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 is a formidable choice with its quick fire rate and high damage output. However, its limited two-shot capacity means it's challenging to secure a kill with consecutive headshots, especially in Zero Build mode.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun is a versatile weapon reminiscent of the Tactical Shotgun, offering a large magazine and rapid fire rate. Its headshot damage rivals that of the Oni Shotgun, making it a reliable choice in close quarters.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers the highest damage among shotguns, capable of nearly one-shotting a full-health and shield player with a Legendary headshot. Its slow fire rate, however, requires careful timing.

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG's fire rate increases with sustained firing, but this comes at the cost of increased recoil, making consistent headshots challenging.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is the premier choice among SMGs, 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, offering a good fire rate but limited by its damage drop-off over distance.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol is a unique weapon that can lock onto targets and fire multiple shots, though achieving consistent headshots requires manual firing in short bursts without aiming.
