All Volume 2 Rift Relics In Apex Legends, Ranked

Tier List Explanation

S-Tier

The best loot in the game currently. Weapons in this tier are the absolute best currently available in the game, and Boost Kits you see from this tier could always be picked.

A-Tier

Amazing loot that can be used in a variety of scenarios and is absolutely amazing at what it does.

B-Tier

Very good loot that can be used if your playstyle fits it, but isn’t necessarily going to carry you all the way to a win.

C-Tier

Slightly situational loot that could be useful in the early game, and some scenarios in the late game. Loot above this tier is preferable.

D-Tier

Equal to, or worse than, what’s in the game already. Weapons and survival items that can be found far more easily. They are still great in the early game, but should be swapped if possible.

Relic Charged Rampage

Weapon

It’s as ridiculous as you think – a Rampage with a permanent thermite charge. We have never seen a weapon as strong as this in Apex before. Almost no recoil, stupendous damage. If you hear someone firing this at you, cower.

Relic Alternator

Weapon

As good as it used to be, it’s once again in the S-tier, just like in Season 1. With its Disruptor rounds, you better not blink, as the enemies’ shields will be gone by then. For an SMG, it doesn’t have a ton of recoil either, so this will always be an amazing pick.

Relic Prowler

Weapon

The Prowler was designed to be a burst rifle, so the damage is scaled as such. Now, with it being full auto, you can assume that the damage it deals is straight-up unfair, and its recoil simply doesn’t compensate. It shreds at most ranges, and you’re likely to hit most shots, too.

Upgraded

Boost Kit

This Kit simply unlocks all of your Legend Upgrades immediately, with no strings attached. This does mean that the upgrades you’d usually miss out on will be on your side, too, so you’re practically the strongest version of that Legend you could possibly be – a very easy pick for the S-Tier here.

Void Reflex

Boost Kit

Upon taking damage that would kill you otherwise, you immediately go into the void, much like Wraith’s tactical ability. This lets you reposition, and in the meantime, your teammates get to cover you while you heal. This Boost Kit simply erases your mistakes in combat and gives you a second try. It’s hard to beat it, and it deserves its spot in S-Tier.

Relic Pulse Blade

Weapon

A unique weapon made for this Event, it’s a version of the throwing knife that scans enemies in the area in which it lands. This would be an amazing advantage to have, but you’d have to give up a weapon slot that could go to another weapon to have it. The damage is great, the accuracy is good, so it’s not like you’re losing much; it just barely scraped S-Tier.

Relic Spitfire

Weapon

The Relic Rampage’s more peaceful antithesis; it fires faster with lower damage. The damage per second here is a lot lower, but just the fact that it’s compared to the Rampage up above lets it enjoy A-Tier. It has no special abilities; it’s just raw damage.

Relic Mastiff

Weapon

If you’ve ever wanted to see fully healed enemies go down in one shot, say hello to the strongest shotgun in the game. We technically can’t put it higher, just because it simply doesn’t have good damage at range. If you can get close to your enemy, you win. It’s as simple as that.

Relic EVA-8

Weapon

The EVA-8, back together with the Double Tap Hop-up, which lets it shoot twice when fired. More damage per shot, more shots per pulled trigger; what more could you want?

Relic Charged Sentinel

Weapon

Yes, much like the Relic Charged Rampage, the Sentinel is permanently charged here. If you see them, but they don’t see you, you can expect to poke them to death in a handful of seconds. We would go as far as to say it’s better than the Kraber at this time, simply because it fires that fast.

Emergency Smoke

Boost Kit

When taking damage, you will release a puff of smoke around you, akin to Bangalore’s tactical ability. It can be very useful in almost any situation, other than close-range tight space fights. Keeping in mind that you have it when attacking means you’ll have a clear advantage over your opponents who aren’t ready for it.

Nessies

Boost Kit

Nessies spawn and attack nearby enemies, even if you haven’t spotted them yet yourself. This means you’ll have intel on enemy positioning, but it comes in clutch when there’s chaos on the battlefield already, and no one is looking out for a random Nessie to deal the final blow and knock them down. You can’t go wrong picking Nessies.

Relic Devotion

Weapon

The Devotion, with a Turbocharger, of course. It has a unique twist though, with an EMP that triggers when you break shields. This weapon barely scrapes by A-Tier, because of its recoil, which makes it unwieldy in long and mid-range fights. At close range, though, it’s amazing.

Relic 30-30 Repeater

Weapon

The 30-30 is the first marksman weapon on this list and is just the strongest marksman in the game right now. It’s amazing at mid to long-range, but the Sentinel just does it that much better with its charged state. Don’t underestimate the 30-30, though; it can still poke a team to death with precise aim.

Relic Wingman

Weapon

Back from the good old days, the Wingman is back in its full glory! Except… well, the games have changed now, and with so many weapons to pick from, the Wingman can only be good in the hands of true veterans. Still, it absolutely decimates enemies at most ranges if you know how to use it.

Map Hack

Boost Kit

The Map Hack Boost Kit lets you scan enemies periodically on your mini-map for you and your teammates. It’s great to reveal enemies, but if they’re close enough to be on your mini-map, then you can probably hear them, too. What it’s great at is sniffing out solo players that are sneaking around, and because of that, it sits comfortably in B-Tier.

Squad Heal

Boost Kit

When you heal, your squad mates heal for the same amount too. It is simple, but it can be very effective in certain situations. However, the range is quite small, so unless your teammates are really close, it doesn’t do much. It’s far from useless, and has a lot of clutch potential for enemies that don’t know you have it.

Relic G7 Scout

Weapon

It excels at mid-range, but it weirdly enough comes with a Sniper Scope. If you find any other scope, though, this weapon rips in the early game but is quite handily beaten by the Relic 30-30 at being a marksman. Still, it’s better than any mildly upgraded weapon found in the wild.

Relic Charge Rifle

Weapon

The Charge Rifle is now becoming so good in the regular game that this version feels slightly inferior. That is, of course, if you find all the legendary parts to make it that good, and this comes with all the attachments ready to go. This weapon is good at what it does, but there are better alternatives.

Phase Rewind

Boost Kit

It can be activated to go back a few steps, working essentially as a mini version of the Alter ultimate ability. The downside here is you don’t know where you’re heading when you activate it. It’s better than dying, though, and if you can trigger it when you’d like to heal, it can save you, but that uncertainty makes it hard to recommend.

Reactive Regen

Boost Kit

You heal slowly when out of combat. It’s great if you don’t have heals ready to go, but that’s all the praise we can give it. It shines the brightest in the early game when you’ve just won your first fight and don’t have any heals on you for the next squad that’s heading your way.

EPG-1

Weapon

It was really hard to place this here, but it just has very little room to really shine in the game. It’s a grenade launcher, so you’re sacrificing one of your weapon slots to have a mildly mediocre set of very slow explosive projectiles. It is very situational for this, but can be used in a couple niche scenarios.

Relic L-Star

Weapon

The regular L-Star has come a long way to the point where picking this just doesn’t make a lot of sense. Again, if you’ve got nothing and really want some L-Star action, it’ll deal a lot of damage, but by all means, it is outclassed in this loot table.

Hover

Boost Kit

You can hover in the air for a few seconds if you ADS. This can be used for parkour, but that’s about it, as in combat, you’re just making yourself a very shiny target.
