Here are the DMG MORI's world-leading,
advanced machine tool technologies.

Apr 05, 2019  Not so with Apex Legends-Respawn Entertainment's battle royale game provides a useful tutorial that shows you a lot about how to play the game and how to use its characters' abilities.

No. 1 share in the world through realization of 'Smart Factory'

'Industry 4.0' - a major movement which has swept the industrial world with the notion of IoT (Internet of Things) that everything is connected with the Internet. DMG MORI began to work on the topic early in an effort to improve operation efficiency of machine tools through remote maintenance, operation status management and accurate failure prediction for every machine in motion at DMG MORI factories all over the world by use of networking, software and sensors.

DMG MORI aims to provide customers with support not only for a machine itself, but also hardware and software relating to the machine. DMG MORI’s competitive edge lies in its technologies of the new era that can realize “Smart Factory (thinking factory).” It enables management of every system including the DMG MORI’s new operating system “CELOS” that handles big data inside and outside the company and automation systems essential for unmanned operation via network.

Free ideas leading to infinite possibility 'Hybrid machining' changes the world

Additive manufacturing - defined synonymously with 3D printing in general - is the technology that metal power is fused by laser radiation and deposited into an object based on 3D model data.

DMG MORI succeeded in completing a product by machining a workpiece immediately after it is formed by laser metal deposition. This had been impossible to achieve with one machine. We combined years of accumulated cutting-edge machining techniques with additive manufacturing technologies ahead of the times to develop a hybrid machine.

The DMG MORI's hybrid techniques free designers and engineers from the restriction of design, cost and efficiency issues in the conventional 'manufacturing process' and allow them to think outside the box, expanding the possibility of innovation.

Elaborate manual work on a 1/1000 mm scale supports DMG MORI's high precision.

DMG MORI machine tools have metal surfaces called slideways which come in contact with one another and move. The slideways are very important factor for machine accuracy. A slideway surface repeatedly slides over the other surface, which requires smooth movement. What’s essential for such a slideway travel is a technique called “scraping” that a metal surface is scraped with a scraper by a skilled technician. The precisely scraped slideways have smooth surfaces to the limit, and a number of ultra-small pockets made on the surface retain lubricating oil to help protect the slideway surfaces. The smooth and “non-stress” slideways mounted on a machine contributes to bringing out the best in a machine tool performance. The DMG MORI machines are not only equipped with the cutting-edge technologies, but also supported by skilled engineers with years of experience.

Simpler, smarter and deeper connection between factories and offices via 'CELOS'

The “CELOS,” the DMG MORI-developed next-generation interface, was evolved from an NC control panel. It is a tool that simplifies and accelerates the process from the idea to the finished product.

The multi-touch monitor of the “CELOS” enables intuitive operation with one-touch to the application menu. It is also possible to establish the network system between machine tools and in-company systems through the “CELOS.” With the Job Manager (Job Assistant) and JOB Scheduler functions, operators can centrally manage production plans, progress status and schedules. The “MAPPS V,” a high performance smart operation system mounted on the “CELOS,” offers various functions: the conversational automatic programming function that enables operators to create the programs easily by simply following guidance and inputting the data; the sensor information function that monitors the sensor information and checks machine information such as temperature of the hydraulic equipment and the oil chiller; the tool management system that supports efficient machining; and other functions that easily controls machine operation.

DMG MORI promotes “Industry 4.0” that connects the production environments via network through the “CELOS.”

'In-production' of units with the highest precision and the industry-leading core technologies

It is a machine tool that produces varieties of parts which are the sources of all products. In the machine tool industry, we are always required to be conscious of the next-generation products in pursuit of product development and production system that meet the market needs.

DMG MORI is working on 'in-company production' with shorter product development times in mind as well as quality improvements and shorter delivery times. For example, the Iga Campus Heat Treatment Plant, the Sheet Metal Plant and the Casting Plant established in 2005 and 2006 are contributing greatly to shortening lead times and prototype development times.

Moreover, we self-manufacture ball screws, which is uncommon among machine tool manufactures, and built the Spindle Plant where a whole production process from part machining to assembly and inspection can be conducted, in an effort to promote “in-company production” of the main components that have a significant influence on the precision of machine tools.

We shorten product development times by self-manufacturing prototypes and quickly provide customers with products that meet their needs -- DMG MORI is going to challenge the possibility of 'in-house production' to win the trust from customers and provide them with great satisfaction.

Learning the best Apex Legends guns is one of the most important things to consider as you start to take the game a bit more seriously - or if you just want to lord it over your squadmates with a bit of extra knowledge.

Below, you'll find all the essential weapon stats uncovered so far, as well as our picks for the best Apex Legends weapons in each category - as well as a quick explanation of all the most exciting stuff like methodology and genuinely good-to-know things before you go diving into the numbers.

You'll be an expert at Apex Legends guns before you know it!

On this page:

Latest update (February 7th): Includes the addition of the Sentinel introduced in Season 4, changes to the Devotion, which has been changed to a Special weapon, as well as new ammo that works specifically for snipers.

Apex Legends weapons and weapon damage explained

Apex Legends has a huge swath of weapons from you to choose from, and it all depends on your style. Do you prefer to snipe people at a distance, or do you want to be up, close and personal?

Regardless, below you'll find a breakdown of weapon by category featuring all the numbers we know so far. Apex Legends updates quite consistently with new nerfs and buffs of weapons, so these may change over time.

We have a general idea of fire rate which we take into account in our section on personal picks for the best Apex Legends weapons, but if you want to make a decision for yourself, you can browse through the weapon stats charts with the raw data underneath each recommendation.

There are also a few other things to know before diving into the lovely pile of numbers below - here's a quick rundown:

• Maximum HP for any character is 200 - 100 base health plus 25 health for each level of shield (up to four, for Purple/Gold shields).
• Helmets don't add HP, but they make you more resistant to headshot damage depending on which helmet you have equipped.
• A change since release is Sniper rifles have their own ammo now - it's just called sniper ammo, and is a blue colour.
• In the damage stat tables below, if a weapon does burst damage we've noted the damage of one bullet from that burst fire, the same as it's one bullet's worth of damage for full-auto weapons.
• Similarly, for 'spread' weapons like shotguns or the Triple Take, we've counted the damage for if all projectiles hit the target successfully.
• Many - but not all - weapons can expand their magazine size with attachments found from looting, which makes a significant difference to their viability - so it's worth searching for extended magazines, in particular!

• You can view weapon damage as you're fighting in-game - there are different settings for it in the menus, but the default shows the total damage from all your hits in a burst, with a single damage number updating as you land another hit (from 16, to 32, to 48, etc.).
• This damage is also colour-coded, according to your enemy's armour, which is good to know - yellow for headshots, purple for purple/gold shields, blue for blue shields, white for common shields, and red for true damage when their shields are down. There's also a shattering sound when you smash through their shields in combat, too.

With those little bits of housekeeping out of the way, here are all the numbers and details we've confirmed for weapons so far - from our own testing in-game - and our Apex Legends weapon recommendations in each category.

Best Sniper Rifle in Apex Legends recommendation: Sentinel

Before the Sentinel, it was obvious that the Kraber .50-Cal sniper rifle was the best rifle to use. Just look at its body damage - that's enough to get knocked down with two shots. However, with the introduction of the Sentinel in Season 4, the Kraber may actually not be the best after all.

If you charge the Sentinel with a shield cell, it strips the enemy team of their shields and hits straight at their health. It's a risky move, but using it will be worth it when you're the last one standing.

Apex Legends Sniper Rifle damage stats:

Best SMG in Apex Legends recommendation: Prowler

While the R-99 and Alternator both have an auto fire-rate type that's fire-rate is decent, both of them pale in comparison to the Prowler.

The Prowler's recoil isn't the greatest, but it's burst of 5 fire rate is incredibly powerful no matter if the distance is far or medium.

The body damage is also excellent, especially for those players - aka us - who aren't that great at getting headshots during the heat of battle.

Apex Legends SMG damage stats:

Best Assault Rifle in Apex Legends recommendation: R-301

The R-301 is a weapon that you just can't go wrong with. It's great both at a medium distance or up close, and has a drop-off rate that won't leave you hankering to find a sniper rifle fast.

It's got consistent damage, and even if you're only firing from the hip, enemies can be downed with ease if your aim is on point.

Apex Legends Assault Rifle damage stats:

Best LMG in Apex Legends recommendation: L-Star

The L-Star used to be a special weapon, which meant unique ammo and an availability that relied on supply pods.

That made it a good LMG, but the best? That title used to belong to the Spitfire. With the L-Star replacing The Devotion as an Energy weapon, you'll be able to deal damage at such a fast rate that it puts the L-Star way ahead of other LMG weapons.

Apex Legends LMG damage stats:

Best Shotgun in Apex Legends recommendation: Mastiff

Despite being a special weapon, and thus being near impossible to get until late early game, the Mastiff is still one of the most consistently powerful shotguns around.

It's body damage is enough for you to try your darned hardest to grab it ASAP, and if you're good at aiming headshots? Holy moly, this gun is incredible.

Apex Legends Shotgun damage stats:

Best Pistol in Apex Legends recommendation: Wingman

The Wingman has always been a pistol that would make anyone in their right mind run off in the other direction, and that still hasn't changed even with its most recent changes.

It's rate of fire is slow, but the damage is incredible and if going against someone with a steady hand... Well, we're sure the game was good while it lasted.
