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 a scope that makes hitting enemies easier, thanks to its hitscan mechanics and a generous rate of fire.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle excels at short to medium ranges with its rapid fire rate, ideal for close encounters, though it has the lowest damage output among Assault Rifles and a recoil that can be challenging to manage.

Ranger Assault Rifle

While the Ranger Assault Rifle boasts the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, its lack of a scope and significant kickback might make players opt for the more controlled Holo Twister.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun's fast firing rate and heavy damage make it a strong choice, but its two-shot limit means you might need more than two headshots to take down an opponent in Zero Build mode.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun, reminiscent of the Tactical Shotgun, offers a high ammo capacity and a fast firing rate, matching the headshot damage of 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 at Legendary rarity with a headshot, though its slow fire rate can be a drawback.

All Headshot Stats for SMGs in Chapter 6 Season 1

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG increases its fire rate the longer you hold down the trigger, but this comes with increased recoil, making consistent headshots challenging.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is a top choice among SMGs due to its scope, hitscan capability, high damage, and manageable recoil.

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol is a solid starting weapon due to its decent fire rate, but its small size leads to a significant damage drop-off at longer ranges.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol is a unique weapon that can lock onto targets and fire four shots simultaneously, though achieving headshots with this method is less likely unless manually fired in short bursts.
