In Apex Legends, each legend comes with different abilities and stats. When starting a match,
it is important to choose right weapons based on the playstyle of each legend. Making sure you have the right combination of legend and weapons can determine whether you become a champion or get sent back to the lobby screen. Here are our top weapon picks for some legends in Apex Legends.
Bangalore: Light ammo SMGs/LMGs. Since Bagalore is better fighting the enemy directly "on the frontlines" either in close range or mid range, SMGs and LMGs with light ammo should be her first choice. So, you'll easily loot them from death boxes while protected by your smoke so only carry like 2 to 3 stacks along with health and shields.
Bloodhound: Shot guns and SMGs/LMGs. With his/her tracking abilities. you'll have an element of surprise while being close to the enemies which is Shotgun Heaven really. His shortcoming of defensive abilities brings the need of lots of syringes and shield cells so not many slots are left for ammo that's why I recommend Heavy Ammo SMGs/LMGs as secondary weapons. If you have trouble with looting these weapons, you can buy weapons with

Caustic: Shotguns He's a room controller so he only really works in cqc and this ammo type lets you compensate the large hitbox by storing more healing items.
Gibraltar: Snipers. A dome that can protect your back while you snipe, a shield that makes it harder for enemies to shoot at you at long range and a hitbox that would make it too easy for close enemies? Gibraltar demands you to set camp, call targets and drop missiles.
Lifeline: Shotguns/Energy Weapons. As a combat medic, she needs to leave most ammo to her more pushing or sniping comrades that's why I think Shotguns and maybe Energy weapons work better for her. She also gets to carry grenades, shields and all ultimate accelerants. She's the one we should have concerns about!
Mirage: Shotgun and Sniper. This one was the hardest for me. I don't quite get his playstyle but I think he's suitable for anything be it sniping or rushing so I'd say a peacekeeper with a choke and a G7 Scout could be the best choices for him. You'll still have space for health/shields/nades. Maybe you have better ideas.
Octane: SMGs and LMGs. He can rush or take high grounds in a second so any SMG/LMG combo can go a long way. No inventory space problem since you can loot at great speed. Empty the magazine as fast as he runs.
Pathfinder: Sniper and SMG Shoot enemies while on high grounds or riding on a zipline! You still keep your health,shields and nades. If you find yourself needing ammo just loot victims, then fly off again! Who's ready to kill from a zipline?
Wraith: Any SMGs. Wraith is really great for flanking, attacking up close then fleeing and I find SMGS to complement that nicely. Try to only carry ammo, shields and syringes. Leave the rest to your teammates. There are millions of other combos you could use though.
PS: Wingman and RE-45 can be placeholders for Heavy and Light ammo SMGs. The Mozambique is not an option but keep pinging it. Other than that the weapons you choose from the classes I listed depends on your preference.
