This guide uses confirmed official information. Recommendations are practical starting points; live balance and availability should be checked in the game.
Launch arsenal
Activision lists 33 weapons: 24 primary, eight secondary and one melee weapon. It also describes 28 Apex Attachments and more than 500 standard attachments. Treat exact “meta” rankings as provisional until final balance is measured.
Build the complete class
Create-a-Class combines your Operator, weapon, equipment, Perks, Field Upgrades and Killstreaks. Select a role first: holding a lane, contesting close objectives or supporting a vehicle push.
First tests to run
Compare recoil at two distances, check how quickly you can acquire a target after sprinting, and test one attachment change at a time. Keep notes on what improves your own consistency.
