Here is a list of the highest stats weapons that are currently being used in ALGS Split 2 Playoffs:

1) Mozambique (Akimbo)

The Mozambique Akimbo allows players to wield two at the same time, but balances by removing the ability to completely Aim Down Sight (ADS). It has a massive damage output and is quite reliable when engaging in close-range gunfights.

Moreover, these small form-factor shotguns offer higher movement speed, which makes it easier to strafe. This makes the user harder to hit, increasing the chances of winning the gunfight in the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs.

2) Hemlok Burst Assault Rifle

The Hemlok AR uses heavy ammo, which can inflict more damage compared to the R-301. It is a burst weapon, which makes it highly accurate and easy to use for long-range combat scenarios.

The weapon's recoil is quite low compared to its damage output, making it a viable option for close-quarter gunfights when used in hipfire mode instead of ADS.


3) Havoc

The Havoc is an energy-ammo weapon that has been nerfed throughout the past seasons. However, it still occupies a spot in the meta thanks to its overwhelming ability to take out multiple players with a single magazine.

Players can utilize this weapon for both close and medium-range gunfights with a very low damage drop-off for distant targets. But it has an erratic recoil pattern that requires some grind to master, especially when tracking opponents in the distance.

4) Nemesis Burst Assault Rifle

The Nemesis is a burst energy-ammo gun that was recently added to Apex Legends. It received a couple of nerfs in the previous updates, but has been a core part of the meta loadouts. This weapon is primarily useful when engaging in long-range combat.

Moreover, it has the ability to charge up when being fired, which significantly increases its fire rate. This makes it a formidable weapon in gunfights as it boosts the user’s overall damage per second.


5) Mastiff

The Mastiff fell out of Apex Legends' meta in the past seasons as it was overshadowed by the Peacekeeper. However, the recent changes have made it more reliable and capable of knocking out players with around three full pumps.

Players can ADS the gun and completely decimate the shields with a single shot - provided all the bullets land. This makes it one of the best close-range weapons in the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs.
