The Apex Legends Global Series Year 5 Split 2 Pro League is already making waves across every region. Fans have been treated to fast-paced action, tactical plays, and some surprising weapon choices that have changed the way the game is being played. As the best players in the world battle for dominance, the data collected so far offers a clear picture of which guns and amps are defining the competition.
The Peacekeeper continues to be the powerhouse of close-range combat, cementing its place as the number one weapon of choice. With 352 eliminations and over 140,000 damage dealt, it has once again proven why professional players always keep it in their arsenal. The R-99 SMG also remains a favorite, known for its blistering fire rate and reliability in chaotic close-range fights. The RE-45 Auto pistol, however, has been one of the most shocking contenders. Despite lower damage numbers compared to other guns, it climbed to the third spot because of its transformation into the first Elite weapon with burst fire and energy ammo, giving pros a reliable backup option even after nerfs.
Long-range combat has also been a major part of the meta. The 30 30 Repeater and the G7 Scout are both being used extensively to lock down open areas and punish opponents from afar. The 30 30 Repeater has particularly stood out with an impressive 245,000 damage recorded, showing just how deadly it can be in the hands of skilled marksmen. The G7 Scout, with its balance of speed and range, has also become a reliable tool for many teams looking to apply consistent pressure at a distance.
Alongside weapons, the arrival of amps in Season 26 has added another layer of strategy to the Pro League. These loot items grant players special passives, and their impact has already been felt across APAC North, APAC South, and EMEA. The Power Booster has been the most popular pick, used 369 times, as it reduces cooldowns and provides tactical recharge on knockdowns, making it a dream choice for aggressive playstyles. Overflow Healer followed closely behind, giving shield and health regeneration that allowed pros to stay in the fight longer. Bottomless Batteries also became a fan favorite, ensuring that shield batteries could be used endlessly without being consumed. Over Armor and Infinite Ammo were picked far less often but still added variety to the strategies teams experimented with.
These choices highlight how the professional scene is evolving. Aggression seems to be the dominant playstyle, with most players preferring tools that allow them to reset quickly and keep pushing fights without slowing down. It reflects the shifting balance of Apex Legends where the smallest advantages, whether in cooldowns or healing, can decide who walks away with victory.
As the Pro League progresses toward its Regular Season and Finals in October, fans can expect more thrilling moments and possibly new trends in the weapon meta. Will the Peacekeeper remain untouchable, or will other guns rise to challenge its dominance? Will amps like Over Armor find their moment in the spotlight as teams refine their strategies? The answers will unfold over the coming weeks as the world’s top Apex Legends players fight for glory.
