Shotguns have seen a massive buff in Apex Legends Season 22, and the Peacekeeper is undoubtedly a meta-tier weapon this time around. Its pellet spread has been modified, which makes it a devastating pick for mid-close-range combat.

Furthermore, the damage has been increased from 9 to 11 per pellet, arguably making it one of the best weapons in Apex Legends Season 22 for close-quarter combat.

Following the Peacekeeper, we have the Mastiff Shotgun which has also seen certain tweaks in this season. What makes the Mastiff part of the best weapons in Apex Legends Season 22 is its new pellet spread, and increased damage.

Although the weapon has been fine-tuned by lowering its pellet count, the increased damage and focused point of contact now deal a devastating blow in close-range combat. Regardless of whether you choose to ADS, the Mastiff can be a game-changer with its recent buffs, and we urge you to pick it up this season.

3) Rampage

The Rampage was considered one of the weakest LMGs in the game. However, the latest update has entirely turned that concept around, and we believe you can now absolutely shred with the weapon.

With the latest update, the Rampage has increased projectile size while Revved Up. It also has a brand-new Hop-Up, the Gun Shield Generator. With this Hop-Up, players can challenge high DPS weapons, such as the Flatline, Nemesis, and Havoc, which deal significant burst damage. Although underrated, we believe the Rampage currently is one of the best weapons in Apex Legends Season 22.

4) Nemesis Burst AR

The Nemesis Burst AR remains one of the best weapons in Apex Legends. Since its release, and even after fine-tuning it relentlessly over the past five seasons, this weapon delivers fantastic results and can be considered a meta pick for Season 22. No changes were made this time around, so if you've used it before, you can enjoy a similar experience this time around as well.

Akimbos have been introduced in Apex Legends Season 22, and they are undoubtedly a fantastic pick. Our choice of weapon to hold akimbo is the Mozambique. You get access to 12 shotgun bullets that can be paired with Hammerpoint Rounds to deal massive damage.

Mozambique Akimbo is a fantastic gun choice in Season 22, and we believe it should be used for close-mid-range combat for best results.
