L-Star was one of the most underrated weapons in Apex Legends Season 22. This LMG features extremely accurate projectiles, fast handling speeds, and technically unlimited ammunition. Furthermore, the addition of Gun Shield Generators provides you with additional armor for your kits.

The L-Star has been buffed with the latest patch. Its damage has increased from 17 to 18, and Gold Extended Energy Magazines are now a functional attachment to this weapon. With this equipped, you can now have much faster cool-off times on the L-Star if it ever overheats.

4) Nemesis Burst AR

The Nemesis still remains one of the best weapons in Apex Legends Season 23. Despite numerous nerfs across different seasons, it has powered through and held its spot as one of the most powerful guns in the game.

Featuring a four-burst attack pattern, the Nemesis can easily three-shot a 200HP player. If you have great mechanical skills, we urge you to pick up this sharpshooting burst rifle.

Note that the Nemesis consumes a lot of ammo. As a result, it's recommended that you pick up an Assault Class character for their enhanced ammo-carrying capacity and head into the battlefield to wreak havoc.

If you want an SMG as your secondary weapon, the C.A.R. SMG should be your go-to pick.
