Regardless of whoever you choose, each character easily goes down against hits from Peacekeepers and Wingmen. Respawn Entertainment/EA/Apex Legends

“Apex Legends” is currently dominated by Peacekeeper shotguns and Wingman revolvers slowly pelting your health and armor away in a few clean shots. However, other guns are still relevant if you can’t find these weapons lying around or want to get better without using these weapons. Here are some guns that you can rely on other than these two top guns.

R-99 Submachine Gun

The R-99 is one of the submachine guns found in “Apex Legends” and its specifications are actually great in contesting against Peacekeeper and Wingman wielders. It uses up Light ammo, the most common ammunition found in game. It also has upgrade slots for barrel stabilizers, sights, extra ammo magazine, and stability stock which drastically improve the gun’s great specs as is. Even better than the Prowler SMG and both Light Machine Guns, R-99 Submachine Gun boasts the highest fire rate in the game and can beat out other players in intense fights. While the RE-45 sports a similar style, the R-99 deals better damage than this pistol. This submachine gun is best used in close-quarters and if used to shoot at enemies unaware of you.

M600 Spitfire

While the Spitfire is a heavy ammo-fed Light Machine Gun, its actually reliable pick Light Machine Guns to deal with top gun users in “Apex Legends”. It sports similar upgrade slots with the R-99 and is actually a great weapon to use at mid-range. When upgraded with an extended heavy mag, its clip size also drastically increase at 15 bullets per level which allows you to keep fighting longer in battles.

However, other weapons may beat you in pushing out more bullets each second in close quarters and the weapon’s recoil needs to be controlled expertly to use at long range. Since Peacekeeper and Wingman pistols are greatly effective at close range while surprisingly dangerous at far ranges, you can use the distance advantage to lay down some prolonged gunfire in an effort to discourage them from aiming.

As of now, the Peacekeeper shotgun and Wingman revolvers are undeniably strong when upgraded as the punch of each clean hit with these weapons are strong and incapacitate characters fast. At times, a full squad equipped with these weapons is dangerous to approach as they can gang up on a target and dispatch of them fast enough before they can call their teammates. At best, these guns can help you survive and even beat these players in their close range rushes if you have them around.
