The Best Weapons to Take in PUBG Mobile (Updated)
Admit it, when you’re in a field of 99 crazed shooters going free-for-all battle royale, you will need a stockpile of all-around weapons to survive and salvage chicken dinner. When the only rule is to be the last man (or team) standing, hiding and running around will not cut it.
Assault and shotgun rifles plus SMGs should be your go-to options. Since you can only carry limited gears including 2 primary weapons, 1 pistol, 1 melee weapon and grenades, we’ve categorized this weaponry guide to help you pick the best.
ASSAULT RIFLES
M416
Ammo: 5.56
Range: 100-600
Base Damage: 41
Available Attachments: Muzzle, Foregrip, Sight, Magazine, Stock, Side Scope
If recoil control is not your thing, pick this one. Good for players who like to spray enemies with solid damage because of its easy recoil control. Multiple attachment slots add stability and ease of use. The M416 has 2 fire modes – full-auto and single-shot which allows you to use it as a sniper. A good AR with slightly higher fire rate makes the M416 an all-around weapon.
AKM
Ammo: 7.62
Range: 100-400
Base Damage: 47
Available Attachments: Muzzle, Magazine, Sight, Side Scope
The AKM is a beast of a gun by having the highest single shot damage in the AR category. Arm if you’re a headshot master. It requires major practice though because of its recoil. But when you master it, heads will burst out easily in as little as 2 shots (sans a formidable lvl 3 helmet). For a fully automatic rifle using 7.62mm bullet, the AKM is capable of inflicting higher damage at 48. It’s available almost everywhere and using it as a mock sniper also works fine.
M16A4
Ammo: 5.56
Range: 100-600
Base Damage: 43
Available Attachments: Muzzle, Sight, Magazine, Stock, Side Scope
Have lightning-fast triggers? This underrated AR is an excellent pick. As a 3-round burst rifle, it has good stability, bullet damage (41) and low recoil. It has 2 modes: strong single shot and burst. It’s one of the best sniper rifles, although it belongs under the AR category. Get the right attachments like a Compensator, Q. Ext Mag for reload speed, Red Dot Sight (close range) and a 6x scope (long-range) and it will pay dividends the entire game.
SCAR-L
Ammo: 5.56
Range: 100-600
Base Damage: 41
Available Attachments: Muzzle, Foregrip, Magazine, Sight, Side Scope
If you opt to use the SCAR-L for close to medium range encounters, this one’s pretty good to spray down enemies. Its auto-fire is great with a fire rate of 0.096s especially if an M4 is nowhere in sight. You can also pair it with most AR attachments available. If you opt to go double AR in battle, SCAR-L is a solid pick to take first. The SCAR-L is an excellent weapon with good stability, light recoil and easy mastery.
SNIPER RIFLES
AWM
Ammo: .300
Range: 100-1000
Base Damage: 105
Available Attachments: Sight, Muzzle, Mag, Stock
Let’s begin with the best, the Arctic Warfare Magnum, or AWM. This gem is only available via air drop, so if you spot one run for it with caution. Its intense firepower with lethal .300 magnum shots are capable of 132 damage. One-shot enemies via headshot even if they have a high level helmet. It has an impressive range from 100 going up to 1000, but you will need a sight to better hit your targets. All hail the king.
Karabiner 98 Kurz (KAR98k)
Ammo: 7.62
Range: 100-600
Base Damage: 79
Available Attachments: Sight, Muzzle, Stock
Consider the KAR98k the runner-up to king AWM. It’s readily available and spawns in air dop crates too. This GG gun is highly suited for long distances with its accuracy and can one-shot a player of full health even with level 2 helmet. Get an 8x scope to make it more lethal.
SHOTGUNS
S12K
Ammo: 12 Gauge
Range: 25-25
Base Damage: 24
Available Attachments: Muzzle, Magazine, Sight
Consider the S12K one of the best shotguns in PUBG Mobile. Its best asset is for squad wiping your opponents, especially in an urban area. It deals 22 damage and has a semi-automatic fire mode. Its rapid rate of fire will make your enemies think twice coming near you. Get an extended mag to add 5 more bullets and reduce reload time.
S686
Ammo: 12 Gauge
Range: 25-25
Base Damage: 26
Available Attachments: Muzzle, Stock
So, you think you can’t miss? Then make this double-barrel your new best friend. It can shoot 2 rounds at once making it the most lethal weapon for close range. Use a Choke and Shotgun Bullet Loops to get this baby the best loadout. Recommended for solo gamers.
SUBMACHINE GUNS
UMP9
Ammo: 9mm
Range: 100-300
Base Damage: 41
Available Attachments: Lower Rail, Magazines, Muzzle, Sight
A stalwart in the SMG category, the UMP9 is the Uzi’s big bro with better shooting range. This badass can fire 30 bullets per mag and is obtainable via Ground Loots. Take it with you during close and medium-range combat and it will prove very effective with its high fire rate and mobility. It’s perhaps the best all around SMG in the game.
PISTOL
P18C
Ammo: 9mm
Range: 25-25
Base Damage: 23
Available Attachments: Muzzle, Magazine, Sight
When you have no other gun choice, bring out your pistol. The P18C is your go-to weapon in the category because of its autofire feature and extended magazine. Take note of the good things: high magazine capacity at 17 and the highest fire rate among the entire subcategory.
MELEE WEAPON
Pan
Of course, this is an honorable mention. The cast-iron skillet, when holstered carefully, is a very effective rear protection with its bulletproof capability. Call it more than a genius; the Frying Pan can literally save your life.
We hope you learned a lot in this weapon guide. Always remember to choose weapons that fit your play style, to practice harder and you’ll definitely earn that Chicken Dinner. Good luck!
