๐ Apex Legends Projectile Physics Explained
Unlike hitscan weapons in other shooters, every sniper and marksman rifle in Apex Legends fires physical projectiles governed by muzzle velocity (measured in Source units per second) and weapon-specific gravity multipliers.
The Sentinel boasts the highest muzzle velocity among standard snipers at 37,000 u/s (~940 m/s), requiring minimal vertical holdover inside 200 meters. In contrast, the Kraber .50-Cal travels slower at 29,500 u/s (~750 m/s), meaning targets sprinting sideways at 250m require leading over 3 full Legend body widths ahead of their movement direction.
