All Headshot Stats for Assault Rifles in Chapter 6 Season 1

Holo Twister Assault Rifle

The Holo Twister Assault Rifle stands out as the premier choice in Chapter 6 Season 1, thanks to its minimal recoil and integrated scope. Its hitscan capabilities and high fire rate make it a breeze to eliminate opponents swiftly.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle excels at close to medium-range engagements with its rapid fire rate, although its damage output and recoil control might not be the best among its peers.

Ranger Assault Rifle

Despite boasting the highest headshot damage in its class, the Ranger Assault Rifle's lack of a scope and significant recoil can make it less reliable for some players, who might prefer the more controlled Holo Twister.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun's rapid fire and high damage are advantageous, but its limited two-shot capacity might not suffice for finishing off opponents, even with consecutive headshots in Zero Build mode.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun offers a high magazine capacity and a fast fire rate, reminiscent of the Tactical Shotgun, making it a versatile choice with headshot damage on par with the Oni Shotgun.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers unparalleled damage, nearly one-shotting opponents at Legendary rarity with a headshot. However, its slow fire rate might be a disadvantage compared to other pump shotguns.

All Headshot Stats for SMGs in Chapter 6 Season 1

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG's fire rate increases with continuous firing, but its high recoil makes consistent headshots challenging.

Veiled Precision SMG

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

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, available only in Rare variant, can lock onto targets and fire multiple shots simultaneously. However, achieving headshots consistently requires manual bursts without aiming.
