Which Legends are good with Snipers?
The best legend to use with any of the Apex snipers is undoubtedly Gibraltar. His arm shield gives you an extra 50 HP, which is great for poking enemies and not taking a lot of damage. Other strong legends are Rampart, Caustic and Wattson.Rampart has her amped cover, which can help add that extra bit of damage to your shots. Both Wattson and Caustic are defensive legends.

- The Sentinel can be amped, which deals extra damage at the cost of one cell. This 'Amped' state lasts for about 2 minutes, but each shot reduces the charge by 15 seconds. You can get about 8 shots off in this mode. The huge damage buff this gives makes the Sentinel a deadly Apex sniper.
- Hitting a shot with the Sentinel increases its fire rate. This is because it has an intergrated Deadeyes Tempo. Hitting your shot improves the speed at which your next shot can be fired, up to a maximum of three times.
Longbow DMR Sniper Overview
- The Longbow is the most forgiving of the Apex snipers. It has the highest fire rate, and the highest magazine capacities. That means that this sniper is a bit easier to use. If you struggle to always hit your shots, the Longbow might be the most attractive Apex sniper.
- The Longbow does the least damage however. The Skull piercer hop-up can drastically increase the headshot damage this weapon can put out
Kraber Sniper Overview
- The Kraber is an insane high damage Sniper. It can only be found in the care package, but is by far the most impactful weapon anywhere in Apex.
- On certain helmet rarities the Kraber can be a one shot kills. Otherwise, it is capable of getting your enemies super low.
