1) Nemesis Burst AR and C.A.R. SMG

The Nemesis Burst AR is arguably the strongest assault rifle in the current meta. It has the shortest time-to-kill (TTK) than any other AR, making it a formidable choice as a primary weapon. Broken Moon has quite a bit of open terrain, and the Nemesis absolutely shines when it comes to medium-range fights, quickly decimating anyone in the players' sights.

The C.A.R. SMG acts as a great secondary for any fights that are short range. Despite its recent nerf, it remains a strong pick and has the potential to quickly shred anyone in its effective range.

The versatility that the C.A.R. SMG offers in using not just both ammo types, light and heavy, but also attachments for the same makes it a great secondary weapon. Players never have to worry about their ammo running out, as there is always light or heavy ammo spread about somewhere in each POI.

2) Charge Rifle and Volt SMG

Broken Moon is an extremely large map with long sight lines. Just like in Storm Point, having a sniper on your team definitely improves not only your chances at survival, but also at gaining easier Kill Points (KP).

While Apex Legends offers a variety of snipers for players to use, the Charge Rifle is the best pick for a map like Broken Moon. Being a hit-scan weapon, the ability to deal consistent and impactful damage becomes tenfold. It is one of the easiest guns to use in the game and has a great impact throughout the game. The ease of sniping ensures that the entire team has at least level 4 Evo Shields to carry into any fight they seek out.

Despite being a great sniper rifle, the Charge Rifle is almost useless at close range. Volt SMG is a great secondary to pair with it. The Volt SMG has the potential to be useful at both close and medium ranges. It deals a great amount of damage and has barely any recoil. The ease of using the Volt makes it a great pick for a secondary weapon.

3) G7 Scout and R99

The G7 scout is a marksman weapon that outshines all of its counterparts in the class. It could potentially wreck anyone in the player's sights with only a few shots. Equipped with a barrel stabilizer, it is a very stable weapon and players can use it with ease. The utility relies entirely upon their own aim and mechanics. In the right hands, it is one of the deadliest weapons in the meta.

The R99 supplements the G7 Scout by being equally formidable but in close-range combat. It has one of the highest fire rates, and can easily earn a knockdown with an adept spray. Both guns being light-ammo type makes it easier for players to stack up on ammunition in Apex Legends.

Considering Broken Moon's terrain in Apex Legends, players are better off carrying a medium to long-range gun paired with a short-range SMG. The recent buffs to the R99 have made it a solid secondary to pair with any primary weapon. Overall, the key to winning gunfights in ranked on Broken Moon relies entirely on thier positioning and mechanical skills.
