Apex Legends players have had plenty of time with the new content in Season 11, and just like any season, the changes in the recent patch notes have definitely influenced the weapon meta. Let's get into the best guns in Apex Legends by looking at every weapon ranked.

Apex Legends doesn't just have a variety of characters to choose from in Season 11, including the addition of Ash. The latest season also brought a new weapon, the C.A.R SMG, and various buffs and nerfs.

These changes shifted the weapon meta once again, and as new weapons rise to the top, we have a new list of the best weapons in Apex Legends Season 11.

Here is every gun ranked.

The G7 Scout, Kraber, Alternator, and Spitfire are all-powerful, but they're care package weapons so you won't find them every game, hence their exclusion.

Best LMG – Rampage

After receiving multiple nerfs in Season 9 and ultimately being put in the care package for Season 10 & 11, the Spitfire has made way for the Rampage LMG to take center stage. The Rampage makes for a great medium to long-range weapon with a large mag, high damage, and a slow fire rate.

The best thing about the weapon is the option to charge it up with a Thermite Grenade, which speeds up its fire rate and allows you to break doors just by shooting them.

When charged up, the weapon becomes even more deadly as it can be used at closer ranges. However, this weapon definitely excels at longer distances, especially as it has hardly any recoil.

This is why the Rampage takes the top stop for us as the best LMG in Season 11 of Apex Legends, as its ability to do such high, consistent damage at range and the option to speed up its fire rate for closer ranges makes it very strong.

Best SMG – C.A.R

The C.A.R SMG is the latest weapon to be introduced into Apex Legends. Boasting a high fire rate and extremely fast DPS, it takes the top spot among the Sub Machine Gun class.

At close range, the weapon shreds and is even very accurate when firing from the hip. The recoil can be pretty hard to control, so make sure you're within the weapon's range. With attachments, the recoil becomes more controllable.

You'll definitely want an extended mag with this weapon due to its high fire rate, and that's where the best thing about the C.A.R comes in. The C.A.R's best feature by far is that it takes both Light and Heavy ammo, as well as magazines.

This makes it extremely flexible, as whether you find a Heavy or Light mag, you'll be able to use it with this weapon and make it even more deadly. This also means that you're hardly ever short for ammo, which is an important aspect of dominating in Apex Legends.

Best AR – R-301

The R-301 is the most reliable weapon in Apex Legends Season 11 and has been for a while now. Not only is the recoil extremely easy to control for those longer ranged engagements, but the R-301 also has an excellent fire rate and hip-fire accuracy for those closer ranged battles.

The R-301 is always a great weapon to pick up and allows you to be more experimental with your secondary, as you can use it as a closer or longer-ranged weapon.

Best Sniper – Longbow

The Longbow has received a lot of love during the last few updates, and although Season 11's patch did nerf the weapon's damage slightly, it takes the number one spot in the Sniper category.

Snipers aren't the easiest weapons to use, but the Longbow is one of the more generous choices. As the new map Storm Point is Apex's largest, Snipers are great on it – the Longbow especially.

The Longbow has a pretty consistent fire rate and damage. The headshot multiplier is also huge, meaning if you get a headshot, you can usually down someone in just two or three shots.

The consistency in fire rate and damage is what makes the weapon so great in Season 11. If you're able to get used to the bullet drop, hitting enemies with the Longbow will become a breeze.

Best Marksman Rifle – Triple Take

Since coming out of the care package this season, the Triple Take is back in full effect. Apart from some now-fixed issues in Arenas, the Triple Take has been absolutely dominating Season 11.

As many players will remember, the Triple Take shoots three bullets at a time in a trident shape unless you ADS long enough for the precision choke to pull the bullets in. This is the most effective way to use the Triple Take, as hitting an enemy with all three bullets is lethal.

The Triple Take is great from range, but one of the main reasons it's the best Marksmen Rifle in Season 11 is because of its versatility. Many players will know that the Triple Take is also kind of like a shotgun in close quarters.

Shots come out fast, and the hip-fire is very accurate. This means you can swap to it and finish enemies off or even crack shields then swap to a more reliable SMG. The Triple Take can do high damage at range, especially when you hit a headshot, and is also great in close combat, making it the best Marksman in Season 11.

Best Shotgun – Mastiff

Since the Eva-8 has taken some pretty big nerfs in Season 11, the Mastiff has definitely stepped up to the plate of becoming the best Shotgun in Apex Legends. The new Dual Shell Hop-Up for the 30-30 and Mastiff means you can reload this weapon extremely fast, as each shell now reloads two bullets.

This is extremely useful in a game like Apex where timing and being fast is everything. Being able to quickly reload and get back in the fight can mean life or death. With a high rarity Shotgun Bolt, this weapon has a fast fire rate as well, allowing you to get high damage shots off quickly.

One thing to note about the Mastiff is that it's a close-quarters weapon and you'll need to be up in the enemy's grill to really reap the benefits of this high damage shotgun.

Best Pistol – Wingman

This isn't a tough decision, as the Wingman is only competing with the RE-45 and the P2020. However, the Wingman is still the hard-hitting powerhouse it has always been.

If you're hitting your shots with this weapon, it's extremely deadly and a great option as a secondary for anyone with a fast, rushing playstyle. Although it has a slight nerf with the removal of Skullpiercer, it's still powerful and can still hold the Quickdraw Hop-up, allowing for a fast ADS.

There you have it, all the weapons in Apex Legends ranked as well as the best weapons in each class for Apex Legends Season 11.
