Best Guns for PUBG Mobile (2023)

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds offers a wide range of weapons for players to use in battle. For the most part, each weapon class is well and balanced represented. The same applies to PUBG Mobile. However, there are some distinct differences between the weapons in PUBG Mobile and the base game on PC and console. Recoil is different on some weapons, along with some base stat changes. So what are some of the best weapons in PUBG Mobile?

1. AWM

AWM is the best sniper rifle and has the highest damage among all weapons in the game. In the hands of a skilled marksman, an AWM can easily take out an opponent with a headshot, regardless of what helmet they’re wearing. However, AWM is not a perfect weapon. It’s too loud for people at a distance to hear you shoot it, and if you miss and it’s spotted by an enemy, there’s a high chance you won’t fire it again due to its slow animation and reload time be able.

2. Grosa

Groza is the most balanced assault rifle in the game. It has one of the best fire rates in the game and the best damage for an AR. It also has good recoil, which is almost non-existent, and it doesn’t require any accessories to excel on the battlefield. However, Groza can only be found in Airdrops, so it’s a rare weapon. Unlike its AKM and M416 siblings, it’s also not good at long-range combat. While not required, you might also want to grab a quickdraw magazine to make up for the slow reload time.

3. M416

M416 is the best option for players of all skill levels. The M416’s easy-to-control recoil can be used by a brand new PUBG Mobile player and still be useful. To go along with the recoil, the M4 has significant damage even when stripped of attachments. However, you need accessories to make up for the shortcomings to get the best results.

The only downside to this weapon is that it’s limited to close- and medium-range combat. Using this in a ranged fight will put you in a disadvantaged position due to the low single fire damage and harsh recoil on long range shots.

4. Vector

There is no doubt that Vector is the best submachine gun (SMG) in the game. This tiny weapon is very reliable, especially in the early parts of the game. It has a high rate of fire, which makes it very good in close-ranged combat, and it can carry various attachments. The only bad thing about it is that it falls behind during the mid to late game when players get better loot. You might also want an extended mag to a vector to make it deadlier.

5. SK12

Last on this list is our favorite shotgun, the SK12. SK12 is the best weapon to have in the early parts of the game due to its high rate of fire and damage as a shotgun. It is very useful for clearing out a building or house, as not everyone has a decent slate.

Just like Vector, using SK12 quickly falls out when people get better loot. We recommend maxing out SK12 use in the early turns so you can roam freely and plunder the area once you’ve eliminated all of your enemies.
