Apex Legends weapons tier list is here, as voted on by players
A Reddit user recently released the results of a survey conducted on Apex Legends weapons strength. Almost 2,000 people voted for their favorite legends and guns, creating a fan-fueled Apex Legends tier list.
The simple pie charts CharlieBeaulieu created from the data can be checked out here.
The Legend tier list
When it comes to the Apex Legends community's favorite legends, Pathfinder was the clear winner with 37 percent of total votes.
Pathfinder has become quite popular because of his grappling hook ability. This gives him great mobility around the map, allowing players to easily secure high ground. He also has a survey beacon that allows him to see where the next circle will land, which makes positioning and planning with him even easier.
Respawn Entertainment has yet to fix Pathfinder's small hitbox. But that only makes him more appealing to play at the moment.
Lifeline is the second favorite legend at 16.9%, largely thanks to her clutch healing abilities.
- Wraith - 11.5%
- Octane - 9.1%
- Bangalore - 8.0%
- Bloodhound - 6.6%
- Mirage - 4.1%
- Caustic - 4.0%
- Gibraltar - 2.8%
Pistol Tier List
There are currently three pistols available in Apex Legends. With almost 57% of the votes, the Wingman was the clear winner. The desert eagle-style pistol can take out a player with full armor with three well-aimed shots to the head.
- RE-45 - 40.2%
- P2020 - 3%
Shotgun Tier List
The Peacekeeper continues to be a popular favorite, securing 64.4% of the votes. The Peacekeeper is actually one of the most popular overall weapons as well, with pros often urging players to always have one as a part of their loadout.
