Firearms in PUBG: The Complete Arsenal
The M416 with a 4x scope and vertical grip is statistically the most versatile weapon in PUBG, appearing in 43% of final circles according to tournament data. But that’s just one piece of PUBG’s meticulously modeled arsenal where ballistics matter as much as attachments.
Assault Rifles: The Backbone of Combat
PUBG’s AR category includes 7 models with distinct recoil patterns. The Beryl M762 hits hardest (47 damage) but kicks violently, while the SCAR-L trades damage for controllability. The Groza (exclusive to airdrops) fires 7.62mm at 700 RPM – only the MK47 Mutant’s two-round burst can match its close-range stopping power. All ARs accept 5 attachment slots except the Mutant (no stock slot).
SMGs: Close Quarters Kings
Vector (.45 ACP) dominates buildings with its 1200 RPM fire rate when fully kitted (extended mag mandatory). The MP5K (9mm) offers better mid-range performance, while the UMP45 (.45 ACP) remains the beginner’s choice with manageable recoil. SMGs have 20% faster ADS speed than ARs, making them ideal for quick peeks.
Sniper Rifles: Long-Range Elimination
The AWM (airdrop-only) is PUBG’s most feared weapon, delivering 132 base damage that penetrates level 3 helmets. The Kar98k remains the bolt-action standard (75 damage), while the Mini 14 (5.56mm) provides rapid follow-up shots. Bullet drop starts affecting shots beyond 300m – the 8x scope’s chevrons help compensate.
Shotguns & Pistols: Early Game Essentials
The S12K (semi-auto shotgun) can wipe squads in buildings with 8 rounds of 12 gauge. The Sawed-Off fits in pistol slots but delivers 160 damage point-blank. Pistols like the P18C (full-auto 9mm) or R45 (.45 revolver) become backup weapons after the first circle.
