In defense of the RE 45, a feature that it has is its Titanfall 2 iron sight. I think only one other gun in the game has it where if you ADS it doesn’t zoom in at all. This feature combined with the movement of pistols is what makes it one of my favorite guns. It makes the gun feel extremely accurate especially at close range and with Hammerpoint it becomes a great finisher gun. Great vid tho! Keep up the awesome content.
And faster reload
I love the re 45 especially in arenas if u max it out. With the digital threat and purple stabilizer it has like zero recoil and is a beam
The re-45 is crazy in arenas because it's cheap to max out and crazy with a digital threat and stabilizer
@@micahl8970 hell yeah! it's even a beam without any attachments. I feel bad for swapping it out for other guns sometimes
Probably the most underrated weapon in the game. When I first started in S2, my friends made fun of me for preferring it to [e.g. R99] which was understandable. Thing slaps though. Always has. With Hammerpoints, I would say it’s viable late-game even if not the BEST option.
Merchant you should do a video where you react to Aceu playing Rampart and explain his gameplay.
React to acue idk who aceu is
@@kurka1186 He's a pro player who's really really good and has some fun little comments while playing.
I agree!
Haha whattttt? Merchant ignore him. Lmfao. 1v1 Aceu would be a video tho.
@@ares1158 it's an inside joke from one of his previous videos featuring fakers

I hope this helped you find the gun you are looking for!
Way too much effort for not a single like :( good job though man
@@tasuu_ thanks I appreciate it
I've played a lot and know pretty much all there is about the guns yet I'm watching this video only because it's you and anything you put out is top tier content. love you man
Merchant forgot the Kraber 😂😭
Well tbf there isn’t a whole lot to talk about with it besides powerful sniper. I’m sure almost every player knows what it does by now, though it did get a headshot damage nerf for some stupid reason so he could have maybe mentioned that.
Started playing the Mosambique more after seeing you use it! Maybe I should have put that sleeper gun into the new Apex Tips video haha it slaps!
Lol I watched the tips video before I came here, its gonna blow up fr
@@paul_3105 thanks!!
The Gaming Merchant made a great video about using it with Maggie: you get the fastest strafing speed in the game, better than the wingman. I spam that with great sucess in Arenas.
@@filippopotame3579 Thanks for sharing! Gonna have to check that out! Maybe include it in the next tip video haha!
I do agree with the hemlock and prowler being outclassed, but I really don't are. At the end of the day, I play for fun, and I love the satisfaction from using them.
Mid range with Hemlock is pretty great. It’s pretty good in this splits ranked.
Something he didn't really touch on that I think gives the prowler and hemlock a little bit more of an edge is how quickly the slowing effect of heavy ammo stacks in the burst. It seems to me that you slow a player much more significantly and quickly with a hemlock or prowler burst than with a full auto spitfire or flatline.
@@tanner.mackey.mp3 All ammo types slow the same. That "heavy ammo slows more" is a myth.
@@mehmettekeli5706 true but the point still stands,the slowing effect of being shot stacks with the burst
Hey gaming merchant love the vids n fs my favorite apex TH-camr keep up the good work! Do you think you could do a video where you compare all the stats of the flatline vs r-301 vs rampage?
That's a nice idea!
@@Thegamingmerchant hi! Love your vids been watching since S5 and I recommend you to everyone :)
I have to ask, why the Rampage when it's an LMG and the other 2 are ARs?
Maybe do the havoc instead of the rampage. Have a feature on the best AR this season.
I was kinda hoping to see Merch's opinion on the Kraber, but I agree with everything said
Actually hammerpoint re45 on flesh is one of the highest DPS weapons in the game. 208 DPS higher than even volt. It takes 3rd place behind turbo devo at full ramp up and ramparts minigun.
It's a good secondary. I got a video about it "big boi".
Nobody runs around unshielded tho.
@@nicholasriveness3202 Since it is meant to be use as a sidearm, you are likely going to switch to it when their shield is broken. It can also do that same damage to downed players.
Ramparts turret doesn’t count cause that’s an ability
The three highest dps weapons in the game are the devo at one the hemlock at two and the car at three the devo has 225 the hemlock 214 and the car at 202. Also extra bonus thing the mozam beats the care package masstifs dps with a dps of 135 the masstif has 134.4
@@nicholasriveness3202 it's a good sidearm. Brake armor with primary and knock em out with the hammerpoint re45.
Dang! Not only did you go through every weapon, but you even explained concepts like weapon smoothing and jitter aiming. Thanks so much!
i have about 2000 hours of play time in apex so i knew what he was going to say about each weapon but somehow i still love watching this kind of videos. i dont know why
Me too. I have about 2200 hours and I also new he was going to say most of those some things I disagree with though like personally the bow is a really good easy to use weapon it’s just the ammo that’s the problem.
Cap
Nope
Still sounds like cap
Idk how did this man manage to show off the peacekeeper without the kinetic feeder hopup. That lack in kinetic feeder voice line in rampart mustve gotten to him huh?
I honestly think that Hemlok is a bit slept on weapon, it NEEDS great attatchments to compete with the other ARs, but a fully purpled out hemlok with a 3x is such a great midrange weapon, good damage, easy to control and a huge magazine. "One burst to break the shield, another to break the man." as Bangalore says.
Rampage has 40 bullets max which is still a lot , but ramparts passive adds the extra 6
liking the new stream schedule Merch! how are you doing?
I'm doing good how are you?
i’m well thank you! always looking forward to streams
a reminder that Mozambique with hop up can two shot bodyshots cracked opponents.
For me the Flatliners biggest feature is it's hipfire spread. You don't have to ADS in close quarters, which allows you to strafe better.
Miss the mastiff already
I feel that your opinion on the RE45 is biased. It has very fast reload speed, and with hammer points, the DPS is as good as a car or 99. I'd take the HP RE over the 99 anytime.
Considering he had an entire stream dedicated to playing with the RE-45 specifically because he hated it, definitely biased. RE-45 is the best
@@Movienut1992 it’s def outclassed by every other sub in the game
@@patrickburton1401 but it's a pistol so it gets that pistol strafe speed like the wingman, which comes in super clutch when 1v1ing someone who has cracked movement and aim in a close or mid range engagement. TGM mentioned how helpful it is with the wingman, but noticably didn't with the 45.
@@tanner.mackey.mp3 he didn’t specify the pistol strafe while talking about the RE but that is common knowledge. 1v1s are where the TTK department matters the most. RE has its pluses. It’s prob the best gun in arenas.
I think what map you’re playing on and even what game mode matters a lot. I find the long bow to be so much stronger on Storm Point especially ranked Storm Point. World’s Edge meta allows for more CQ fights so Subs and Shotguns are better there. Weapons like RE and Mozam are very good in arenas since they’re cost effective.
Yeah I remember the past seasons people thinking the car wasnt that much better than the r-99 but i was thinking that it was much better especially if you hipfire it. even then the recoil when ADSing wasn’t that bad without recoil smoothing
I honestly find the Bocek much easier to use than the Longbow or the 30-30. I don't know, my arrows just hit. Maybe it's the draw that makes it "feel" easy for me
im not sure how interested anyone else would be, but could you do a video showcasing the differences of like shotgun bolt fire rates and weapon time to kill or dps stuff, i dont know how long that would be so maybe it would have to be a short or something, im not sure
Well one thing about the alternator is it allows you to kill one full health opponent then snap to another one and hit them really hard without any headshots Involved. Honestly the best weapon to use against the spitfire because you have the crazy movement speeds of an SMG and the above average bullet damage. I've worked too many spitfire abusers with the alternator and I won't let slander persist.
Tbh with the addition of the Hammerpoint rounds the RE-45 can dunk even better than the R-99 now while having one of the best iron sights and not needing a barrel for longer range. The lack of need for a stock is also really good for it.
Day 298 of waiting for the shatter caps video to release. I'm so happy to hear Merchant call my beloved 30-30 versatile.
It’s a very good weapon
It’s honestly my fav weapon for this seasons ranked
Sentinel and Peacekeeper may be a worse pick, but it’s so satisfying
Nah Pk is good like a A teir weapon
Merchant, I feel like an overlooked aspect of medium and ranged weapons that's missed is projectile velocity. For example, compared to the long bow, I just prefer the repeater now since they do similar body damage and repeater is sick at cqb and hipfire. Compared spitfire I just prefer the hemlock for ranged tapping.
I hate when people say shatter cap is useless because it’s not like you pick up 30-30 or bocek for them to be shotguns, you pick them up for them to be long range but in close range rather than switching to a long range gun you can have a decent close range secondary
You should probably put Season 13 in the title since these weapons will most likely change again later on
Bro i mained rampart cause of you ❤️❤️
Awesome to hear! How is your experience with rampart so far?
I mained her for a while and I killed my first full team of 3 with her on a no fill game I killed 2 full teams and almost a 3rd by myself and that was back in season 10 before she got buffed her walls are definitely a very strong ability
As someone who's pretty new to Apex and FPS's in general, this was a really good breakdown of not just the weapons but aiming concepts and other things that seem like common knowledge to other.
Unpopular opinion? Eva-8 is the worst gun in the game this season.
For the charge rifle you should’ve said, “Never use this monstrosity, Thank you. Next up we have the-“
Turn L-Star shots into larger projectile shots and increase the damage, and I’d be in love with it. I so badly want a slower projectile weapon in Apex.
thanks for the informative video . i stopped playing for a whole year and i was shocked to find out that mozambique is good and not objectively worst wingman .
Tbf the p2020 is one of my favorite weapons lol it has served me well in so many fights as a loyal Secondary 👏 as long as it has hammerpoint on I'm happy I'll pair it with pretty much any gun in the game
the repeater (with hop up) is an eva 8 that you can put magazines on, and also use long range
It’s absolutely amazing on Storm Point
Wth was that super jump in the beginning I can’t stop laughing 🤣
These weapon explanations are the reason why I first subscribed in the first place
I think the Car SMG should have a damage nerf, if you gave it the exact same stats as an R99 you would still choose the Car SMG since it doesnt have an issue with ammo or attachments, but if you have it do slightly less damage than the R99 you have do choose wether you want the versatility of the Car SMG or the damage output of the R99 🤷♂️ also the community misses the volt smg a lot I think it's amazing at the things both the Car and R99 are not so idk the SMGS are just missing something and the prowler almost doesnt compete without the reintroduction of select fire
Nah the r9 has amazing recoil, its still more of a beam machine
@@TheLongDon recoil smoothing makes recoil control unnecessary and makes them both beam machines
@@Dropzonetest Recoil smoothing is only for PC, and only those using kb+m
@@TheLongDon false, I do it on the sticks all the time on ps4, you really think high level controller players are memorizing recoil? No smoothing is a game coding thing not a platform thing like tap strafing
@@Dropzonetest Recoil smoothing on sticks is possible, but just as tap strafing is possible on controller on PC, it's not the possibility, its the execution. Sticks are inherently harder to aim with as a whole, so adding the jitter with it just doesn't work out nearly as well and while you might reduce horizontal recoil, you'll also start introducing vertical recoil, which defeats the purpose I
24:00 you can really see that shot gone to the left even though you aimed to other point.
You completely missed the shatter caps and tempo hop ups.. especially for the bow
I took the last few seasons off and since starting again w/ S13 haven't been able to use my favorite rifle the G7!
Although I know all the weapons very well I have watched this long vid to the end because I wanted to know your opinions and because I enjoy your content
Nice tips❤️💓
indeed Rosie
@@wrknjob ☺️ I want stickers like you but I cant be a member 🥲
I loved the video but I did notice you skipped over he kraber. Any particular reason?
Sunday’s Tips & Tricks vids are my fav! 😄
Merchant went All Out in this one 🔥 Great Job on this one Boss! 💯
Day 1 player Today I learned what recoil smoothing was.
That Kraber thing looks pretty cool. Whats that like?
I have two thousand hours in game but still watch all of this video
Me too also who cares you can still watch it
I started using the pk just because of Maggie last season. I got so used to her shotgun movement speed that I can't use the pk or eva with other legends because of how slow it feels.
Mozambique is a shredder in short range fr fr 😌😌
For as little DPS as the Alternator it HURT YOU 😂 you’ve got more of a bone to pick with that little guy then the charge rifle. The alternators fire rate is very controllable and has a lot to offer to newer players. Love your vids, man! Cheerio!
Nice to see someone saying the Bow is good.
Its my main weapon and when you get good with it its an easy A
A video I never knew I needed
I hate that he said the scout is questionable on the ground all 4 of my 3k damage games have come from using the scout 3 of them while it was still floor loot I miss it so 😢
I got a 4k on valk a couple days ago with the wingman and car I was very surprised after i did it
All you did was explain that you have a weapon crutch
@@patrickburton1401 I mean playing solo its hard not to have a weapon crutch when your teammates often get less than 300 damage by the end, the game kinda trash with the match making 30-30 is a good 2nd best tho 💀
Finally someone said it.. the spitfire and rampage really arnt that good. You are better off using something else but people are still gunna complain until the weapons start shooting marshmallows..
gaming merchant have you noticed the blood hound heirloom skin is inspired by the predator from the movies
Should've played Bangalore, she would have made the video for you
ALL weapons explained
Kraber: Am i a joke to you?
I know the 30-30 is hated on and definitely not as good as a flatline or 301 but I think it's underrated, you can do up to 200 damage at range pretty easily with just 4-5 body shots.
The 30-30 isn't comparable to them, it's a marksman weapon. That being said, it's basically just a nerfed Longbow.
He named so many advantages of the R301 and even forgot to mention it's exceptionally high bullet velocity.
And somehow nobody besides me considers it a dirty noobgun.
what is your mouse sensitivity set to merchant?
You forgot to mention the kraber
It’s too bad the repeater go nerfed by removing dual shell
I recently returned to apex and I would love the car with sentenele.
I loved this video thank you !!
I’m good at controlling the harder to control weapons than the easier to control weapons
Rampage is good for medium range suppressive fire with very little recoil. Rampage and Spitfire both are not very good, but they win fights by being so forgiving of missing shots. G7 is better than both of them for poking damage.
Excellent video as always mate. 👌
As far as I'm aware, I think the R99 has the exact same TTK as the CAR smg - it also only has an initial vertical recoil - the CAR has a harder recoil pattern. if you spray them both on a wall you will see what I mean.
You only need to pull down and left for the r99 really, and then car is a left and right. But this may have changed.
In my opinion as an OG Player, the R99 is still the best SMG (Only losing to the volt now it's red)
The car has a higher ttk
Idk if the buffed the Charge Rifle but I got in my second ever hip fire battle with one yesterday. The first time I ran out of ammo in my flatline and for some reason instead of reloading i pulled out the charge rifle and hit the guy and killed him no problem and this was in late season 10. Yesterday I landed and ended up having to try and 1v2 and I didnt actually kill either of them but with the 4 shots I had I did over 300 damage even tho I was fighting 1v2 with no cover so I was moving like a crazy person. I thought that it was supposed to be really hard to hipfire the charge rifle but it seemed pretty easy and I think I might have won that fight if I didnt need to reload and ran away. My only knowledge of how the hipfire works is from the Wiki which says that the Charge Rifle "sways violently" when you try to hipfire it but it didnt seem that way to me. Maybe it was cuz of how I was moving but I was easily able to hold the beam on their chest and heads. Idk if they buffed it or what but I thought u might want to check this out.
You really don't want to miss my edits, stakes on me 🤌ignore the thumbnails 😂
Nice video ty!
The Merchant only needed a reason for flexing all those weaponskins 🤣🤣 been a bit impressed to be honest
This video definitely helps me, btw I like r301 too
23:31 ghost mag
Maaaaaann, the other day the L Star failed me so badly the other day, had someone at like 30hp and couldn’t kill them with it, I was literally speechless asking wth did they do to it
Great comparisson and infos!
I think if r99 gets a buff in dps it will come back in meta
Purple bolt Mozambique is fire
Didn't you miss the Alternator?
Edit: ah nevermind xD
2. Edit: but you did miss the Kraber right?
I feel like this should've been done with default skins, also pls pick up gold bag so you don't have to keep switching inventory lol.
Great video!
Merchant saying the rampage isn’t that good but he mained rampart and the rampage for an entire season is the craziest cap ive ever seen
This game’s weapon balancing is depressing. I know in any PvP shooter some guns are going to stand out but with Apex it’s like a total of three guns are good and if you don’t run those you’ll just get killed faster before you can use the not as good gun to kill them first.
Finally! Such a good video to assemble my loudouts
I hate that half of these nerfs are because of arenas
Cry more arena superiority☹️☹️☹️
Also I'm so bugged you didn't just pick up a big bag throughout the whole video lmao.
you forgot the kraber :(
What havoc skin is that?
Loved this video
I use the Sentinel strangely the 2 x can use it like a shotgun
R99 needs some sort of biggy
Nice video m8
I feel like the Mozambique is way faster than the Eva 8. For sure is my go to though
and the picture of tier list?
What about alerternater and bow
Whats a good arena starter loadout for first round ?
Maybe re-45 and an lmg or sniper
Havoc or a car with a mozam or p2020 whichever one your better with
