Assault Rifles (AR)

Assault Rifles are the cornerstone of any PUBG Mobile loadout, offering unmatched versatility across various ranges. Here are the top three ARs to master in 2025:

M416

Pros:

• Widely available on most maps
• Low recoil and easy handling
• Accessories are plentiful and easy to acquire

Cons:

• Damage is solid but not the highest

Even now in 2025, the M416 remains a timeless classic, celebrated for its low recoil and adaptability. Its high damage output and compatibility with multiple attachments make it a go-to for players of all skill levels. Whether you're spraying in close quarters or landing precise mid-range shots, the M416 delivers.

Beryl M762

Pros:

• Devastating DPS
• High rate of fire

Cons:

• Brutal recoil

Beryl M762 is an aggressive AR loved by skilled players for its low TTK and high damage. Its 7.62mm rounds penetrate armor effectively. However, its harsh recoil makes it unsuitable for beginners. Once mastered, it becomes the ultimate close - range AR choice.

Groza

Pros:

• High DMG
• Manageable recoil

Cons:

• Fewer available accessories

Another airdrop gem, the Groza excels with its high damage and surprisingly manageable recoil. Built with an integrated suppressor, it's a stealthy powerhouse ideal for aggressive players in close-to-mid-range combat.

Accessories for different situations

Different accessories could apply to different situations:

• Scopes: There are many different scopes: red dot sight, holographic sight, 2x scope, 3x scope, etc. You can select the scope based on the typical range at which you engage enemies.
• Grips: Semi-grip and angled grip are very useful in burst fire while thumb grip and vertical grip are more suitable at mid-range semi-automatic fire.
• Magazine(Mag): Extended mag for prolonged firefights and quickdraw mag for quick and sudden combat.
• Compensator/Suppressor: Both the compensator and suppressor effectively reduce the recoil. Compensators could make rifles more stable and suppressors could reduce the noise during shooting to help with stealth operations.
• Gun Stocks: updated in version 3.8 with a new“Heavy Stock”. It significantly reduces recoil both horizontally and vertically for sustained shooting. However, the price is that it also reduces the aiming speed.

These accessories can effectively improve the performance of rifles in different aspects, you can choose them based on your tactical needs and playstyle.

• Scopes: 8x scopes are the most commonly used scopes for sniper rifles at long range, a 15x scope may occur in the airdrop crate and better for longer range.
• Suppressor/Flash Hider: Suppressor and Flash Hider are crucial for hiding your position to get more time to aim for enemies.
