The headshot damage varies significantly across different weapon types and rarities, potentially sending opponents back to the lobby before they can even react.

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 among Assault Rifles in Chapter 6 Season 1, thanks to its minimal recoil and integrated scope. The hitscan mechanics, combined with a robust fire rate, make it a breeze to take down enemies from a distance.

Fury Assault Rifle

Ideal for close to medium-range engagements, the Fury Assault Rifle boasts a high fire rate that can overwhelm opponents in any skirmish. However, its lower damage output and challenging recoil may require some practice to master.

Ranger Assault Rifle

Despite boasting the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, the Ranger Assault Rifle's lack of a scope and significant recoil can make it less reliable. Players seeking a more controlled and faster-firing option might prefer the Holo Twister.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun's rapid fire and substantial damage make it a formidable choice, though its double-barrel design limits you to just two shots. Even with consecutive headshots, it might not be enough to eliminate opponents in Zero Build mode.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun is a must-have for its similarity to the Tactical Shotgun, offering a large magazine and a swift firing rate. Its headshot damage rivals that of the Oni Shotgun, making it a versatile choice for close-quarters combat.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers the highest damage among shotguns, capable of nearly one-shotting a fully shielded opponent with a Legendary headshot. However, its slow fire rate can be a drawback in rapid engagements.

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG's unique feature is its increasing fire rate with sustained trigger pull, though this comes with the trade-off of increased recoil, making consistent headshots challenging.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is the top SMG choice, thanks to its scope and hitscan capabilities. It offers high damage and manageable recoil, making it a formidable weapon in skilled hands.

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol is a solid starting weapon after landing from the Battle Bus, offering a decent fire rate. However, its damage drop-off at range limits its effectiveness in prolonged engagements.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, a rare find in Battle Royale, can lock onto targets and fire multiple shots at once. However, achieving headshots consistently requires manual firing in short bursts without relying on the lock-on feature.
