About this converter
Apex Legends fire rates run from bolt action crawl to SMG hose. Kraber at 25 rpm and Wingman at 156 anchor the slow end where each shot must count. Spitfire at 540, Alternator and Flatline at 600, Havoc at 672 fill the rifle middle. Volt at 720 and RE-45 at 780 bring pistol and SMG speed. R-301 at 810 is the laser rifle pick. The top three break 900: Devotion at 900 ramped, C.A.R. at 930, R-99 at 1080. Rates come from the Liquipedia weapons portal and ApexDB tables which mirror Respawn data. Attachments do not change cyclic rate. Burst guns average lower across the burst pause.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the rate in the chosen unit. Try 1 R-99 against Krabers to compare hose against bolt.
Rates are cyclic rounds per minute. Devotion ramps from 300 to 900. Havoc has a spin up delay. Supply drop spawn rates do not affect these.
