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 integrated scope. Its hitscan capabilities and high fire rate make it ideal for accurately targeting enemies.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle excels in close to medium-range combat due to its rapid fire rate. However, its lower damage and challenging recoil might require more skill to master compared to other Assault Rifles.

Ranger Assault Rifle

While the Ranger Assault Rifle boasts the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, its lack of a scope and significant recoil might make it less reliable for some players. For those preferring stability, the Holo Twister might be a better fit.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun is a formidable weapon due to its high damage output and quick firing rate. However, its limited two-shot capacity might not be enough to secure a kill without perfect aim, especially in Zero Build mode.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun offers a tactical advantage with its large magazine and fast firing rate, similar to the beloved Tactical Shotgun. Its headshot damage rivals that of the Oni Shotgun, making it a versatile choice.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is the powerhouse of shotguns in terms of damage, capable of nearly one-shotting an opponent with a headshot at Legendary rarity. Its slow firing rate, however, requires precise timing.

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG offers an escalating fire rate as you hold down the trigger, but this comes with increased recoil, making consistent headshots challenging.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is the top SMG choice due to its scope and hitscan capabilities, providing high damage and manageable recoil.

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol is a solid starting weapon with a decent fire rate, but its effectiveness diminishes at longer ranges due to damage drop-off.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, a rare find in Battle Royale, can lock onto targets and fire multiple shots simultaneously. However, achieving headshots consistently without manual aiming can be tricky.
