Longbow DMR
Semi-auto sniper rifle.
Longbow DMR stats
EA changed Leg damage in the patch of 5 November 2024 without publishing the new value, so those numbers are out of date until they do.
Shots to kill
Shots needed to down a legend through each Legend Armor level, at 60 body damage per shot. Every legend has 100 health with the armour on top — since February 2024 that armour is inherent and levels up on EVO points rather than being looted as a body shield.
| Legend Armor | Total HP | Body shots | Head shots |
|---|---|---|---|
| No armour | 100 | 2 | 1 |
| Level 1 | 150 | 3 | 2 |
| Level 2 | 175 | 3 | 2 |
| Level 3 | 200 | 4 | 2 |
| Level 4 | 225 | 4 | 3 |
Counts assume every shot lands on the same body part with no damage falloff and no attachments fitted. Compare weapons in the damage calculator.
In the game files
Longbow DMR ships in Apex Legends as mp_weapon_dmr.
