Up to four Apex legends attachments types
There are a decent variety of Apex legends attachments you will find trekking the map, these include using a scope, barrel, stock, optic, hop-ups or magazines.
It’s a no brainer that the better customised your weapon is, the higher your chance of landing that precision kill. The attachments in game not only provide a cool weapon upgrade, but also improve the efficiency of your weapon.
The fire rate, aim drift, reload time, recoil, accuracy and handling will be one of the minimum enhancements an attachment can provide, regardless of which weapon you’re using.
The rarity tiers go like this…
Apex Legends attachments: Stock
When using a stock attachment, the idea is to reduce aim drafting while making handling for your weapon more stable. A stock attachment specifically can really help when you aim down your weapon sight by reducing the drifting effect.
| Attachment | Common | rare | Epic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock | - Slightly Increased Handling - Slightly Reduced Aim Drift | - Moderately Increased Handling - Moderately Reduced Aim Drift | - Highly Increased Handling - Highly Reduced Aim Drift |
| Sniper Stock | - Slightly Increased Handling | - Moderately Increased Handling | - Highly Increased Handling |
Apex Legends attachments: Magazines
The speed of reload, your ammo capacity, or rate of fire will improve with magazine attachments but will be weapon dependent.
| Attachment | Common | rare | Epic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extended Magazine (Light) | - Slightly Increased Ammo Capacity | - Moderately Increased Ammo Capacity - Slightly Increased Weapon Reload Speed | - Highly Increased Ammo Capacity - Slightly Increased Weapon Reload Speed |
| Extended Magazine (Heavy) | - Slightly Increased Ammo Capacity | - Moderately Increased Ammo Capacity - Slightly Increased Weapon Reload Speed | - Highly Increased Ammo Capacity - Slightly Increased Weapon Reload Speed |
| Shotgun Bolt | - Slightly Increased Fire Rate | - Moderately Increased Fire Rate | - Highly Increased Fire Rate |
Apex Legends attachments: Barrels
Using barrel attachments will stabilise your weapon, and as a result will reduce the weapon recoil.
| Attachment | Common | rare | Epic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barrels | - Slightly Reduced Recoil | - Moderately Reduced Recoil | - Highly Reduced Recoil |
Apex Legends attachments: Hop-ups
You’ll only be able to use Hop-Up attachments for a small number of weapons, if you find a compatible weapon though this attachment offers some fairly decent upgrades.
| Hop-Up Enhancement | Turbocharger - Devotion | Selectfire Receiver - Prowler | Skullpiercer Rifling: Longbow/Wingman | Precision Choke - Peacekeeper / Triple Take |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Effect | Reduced Spin-Up Time | Switch Between Fire Modes | Increased Headshot Damage | Reduced Projectile Spread |
Apex Legends attachments: Optics
While aiming down your weapon sights you can attach an optics scope, Kings Canyon holds plenty if you look hard enough.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Optic | (All Weapons) 1x HCOG (Classic) - Close range optic. | (All Weapons) 2x HCOG (Bruiser) - Close range optic. | (All Weapons) 3x HCOG (Ranger) - Mid-range optic. | (Shotgun) SMGs, Pistols: Digital Threat - Close range optic with threat highlighting when aimed at. |

Apex Legends: Backpacks
Yeah yeah, backpacks don’t fit on the end of a weapon so they’re not attachments – we get it. Backpacks are however an upgrade to your gear that you won’t want to miss, as they allow your total inventory to expand significantly.
| Common | rare | Epic | Legendary | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Backpacks | +2 Additional Inventory Slots | +4 Additional Inventory Slots | +6 Additional Inventory Slots | - 6 Total Inventory Slots - Health and Shield consumables take half the time to use. |
