How to use the 30-30 Repeater in Apex Legends Season 8: Mayhem
With each new season, a lot of new content is added to Apex Legends. Still, it’s been a minute since any of these new features became a new weapon. Season 6 brought us the Volt SMG, but amidst all the hype surrounding the new map and added vehicles, there were no new weapons in Season 7. However, 8 Squadron brought a brand new heavy weapon called the 30-30 Repeater. Let’s see how it works.
30-30 Repeater: Statistics and classification
First, let’s look at the 30-30 repeater in all its parts.

The 30-30 repeater is a heavy rifle that starts with 6 shots, but has more speed than the winger.

Game and strategy
Of the weapons currently available in the game, the 30-30 Repeater can be described as a heavy weapon equivalent to the G7 Scout, as well as a heavy weapon equivalent to the DMR Longbow. In a way, it is the golden mean between these two weapons, both in terms of fire intensity and damage.
The 30-30 breech is also the only single-shot assault rifle. (All other AOs have at least one other firing position besides the single shot, although the G7 requires a jump for the second position.)
Repeat load 30-30
Another unique feature of the 30-30 bolt action is that each shot has a charge counter. Unlike the Sentinel sniper rifle, the loader is automatically part of the weapon and requires no external parts or sources. Here is the damage to the base in relation to the loaded fire:
| Basic | Responsible | |
| Legs | 32 | 43 (11 other injuries) |
| Body | 42 | 57 (15 other wounded) |
| Chapter | 74 | 100 (26 additional indemnities) |
To load a shot, pull the trigger and release it when the load counter is full. The display appears either on the weapon itself or on the equipped optic.
Thanks to the loading element, this weapon is best at the top end, usually with a 3x HCOG Ranger or 2x-4x variable AOG optic. But because you can fire quickly with less damage when you pull the trigger, the weapon is still somewhat useful in hand-to-hand combat.
Restart and linkage
Like the Mastiff rifle, the 30-30 repeating rifle loads one bullet at a time. This means that if you run out of ammo during a fight without having another weapon handy, it’s almost a death sentence if you and your opponent don’t have a good distance between you. Nevertheless, the brand new Gold Extended Heavy magazine is ideal to be combined with a 30-30 repeater because of its special capabilities. If the weapon is equipped, it will recharge over time.
However, the time required to do so means that the weapon must be able to be reloaded more quickly in conjunction with a 30-30 repeating rifle. It is not advisable to combine it with a mastiff or other sniper rifle. It is preferable to combine it with another assault rifle, an LMG or SMG.
Overall, the 30-30 repeater may not be for everyone, but there are certainly ways to take advantage of its unique play style and performance if you take apart every element of the weapon and think strategically.
TL;DR : Repeater 30-30. Single-shot assault rifle. Either you load the shots or you pull the trigger. If possible, get a log gold to counteract the slow single-track fills. Similar to the playing style of the G7 scouts, although closer to Longbow in some ways. Base of 6 strokes and max. 12. Works best in close combat, choose a lens of your choice.
