PUBG Mobile Latest Weapon Tier List in 2026

　　As PUBG Mobile still continues to be the most loved and played Battle Royale Shooting games on Mobile platforms over the world, the devs are not letting the players be disappointed in 2026 too. With the various weapon balance changes in the game, it is important to understand the meta weapons that are dominating the gun picks in the game. From subtle recoil adjustments to the massive one-shot hits, harnessing these meta weapons will give you the uncalled advantage in scenarios where they truly shine.

　　Let’s follow LDShop, as we have prepared a tier list for the best weapons in PUBG mobile in 2026 including all the latest additions. This tier list breaks down all major guns into clear tiers based on their overall damage, recoil control, versatility and on ground performance. Whether you are a rank grinder who aims to reach conqueror this season, competitive scrims players or someone who is just starting his PUBG Mobile journey, choosing the right weapon can make the difference between an early elimination and a Chicken Dinner.

Tier List

　　The tier list for the best PUBG Mobile weapons are divided into 5 tiers and based on the following criterias that are listed below:

　●S-tier – The meta defining weapons in the game that every player loves and prioritises in their kit.

　●A-tier – The A tier weapons are those weapons that are good enough to replace the S tier weapons in case you don’t find them.

　●B-tier – The B-tier weapons consist of balanced weapons that provide moderate output and decent firepower in fights that are quite enough to keep you alive.

　●C-tier – These weapons are playstyle and situation dependent which require the user to be really well-skilled in order to make good use out of the weapon.

　●D-tier – The bottom tier picks are advised to be avoided and choosing a higher tier weapon would give you better lethality. These should only be used in case you can’t find any other weapons.

​S-Tier

M416

●Fire Rate: 660

●Ammo: 5.56mm

●Base Damage: 43 HP

　　The M416 is one of the best AR weapons because of the high versatility and low recoil. Whether you are in a close range or a mid range fight, you are never at a disadvantage if you have an M4. If your gun is looking dull then buy PUBG Mobile UC and use it to purchase a skin for your gun. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.​

 

​Groza

●Fire Rate: 750

●Ammo: 7.62mm

●Base Damage: 49 HP

　　The Groza is another AR weapon that is insanely powerful but unlike the M416, the reason why it is kept in the S tier is because of its lethal close range damage. Groza also has the highest Fire rate for an AR gun in the game.

 

MG3

●Fire Rate: 650

●Ammo: 7.62mm

●Base Damage: 42 HP

　　MG3 is an airdrop gun which can easily be called a S tier weapon because of the huge magazine and fire rate. MG3 is also the best LMG in the game because of its versatility and clutch potential.

 

​DBS

●Ammo: 12G

●Damage per pellet: 26HP

　　DBS is arguably the best Shotgun in the game and it is one of the few guns that made the meta early one sided during the 2024-25 phase. Why is it a S tier gun? Because of the insane burst that could one shot you in close range.

 

​AWM

●Ammo: .300 Magnum

●Base Damage: 105HP

　　The AWM used to be a beast in the past and still claims the title of the most lethal sniper in PUBG Mobile with the highest base damage of 105HP.

 

​UMP45

●Fire Rate: 670

●Ammo: .45 ACP

●Base Damage: 39-41 HP

　　Last but not the least, UMP45 is easily the best SMG gun in the game and I personally love the gun because of how comfortable one feels while using it. UMP45 is also the meta gun that Chinese players use to dominate their lobbies.

 

A-Tier

​AKM

●Fire Rate: 600

●Ammo: 7.62mm

●Base Damage: 49 HP

　　The AKM, which is also one of the oldest guns in the game, definitely deserves the top spot in the A-tier because of how commonly it is used and how effective it is in close range. Its lethality directly opposes Groza, which is why it is the best replacement for the Groza.

AUG A3

●Fire Rate: 660

●Ammo: 5.56mm

●Base Damage: 43 HP

　　Moving on next, we have another superstar – AUG A3 which can also be crowned as the most stable gun for mid range sprays. The AUG is a great weapon to have in your loadout and can even replace a M416 sometimes.

 

Mk14

●Fire Rate: 670

●Ammo: 7.62mm

●Base Damage: 61 HP

　　MK14 is the next on our list, claiming it’s position for the insane burst which makes it a perfect gun for power players with high accuracy. The MK14 used to be a S tier DMR but nowadays, most of the players prefer a DBS then a MK14 for close range.

 

​P90

●Ammo: 9mm

●Base Damage: 35 HP

　　The P90 is a great weapon that is insanely strong in a head to head close range fight, marking its place in the A tier as a fair replacement for the UMP45.

 

M24

●Ammo: 7.62mm

●Base Damage: 79 HP

　　Last but not the least, the A tier also consists of M24 which is one of the two good replacements for an AWM. The M24 is not as strong as the AWM but can easily break a level 2 helmet on a successful headshot.

 

B-Tier

​Uzi

●Fire Rate: 1200

●Ammo: 9mm

●Base Damage: 26 HP

　　The UZI is a great weapon and to be honest, a good one for the early game fights where players do not have vests and helmets. Although Uzi is the fastest gun in the game, it is hard to penetrate the armor and give knocks using it.

 

Thompson SMG

●Fire Rate: 670

●Ammo: 9mm

●Base Damage: 40 HP

　　Another B tier SMG pick is the Thompson and unlike Uzi, you get a huge 50 ammo magazine plus the huge base damage. 

PP-19 Bizon

●Fire Rate: 660

●Ammo: 9mm

●Base Damage: 35 HP

　　The PP-19 Bizon is a great SMG for short to mid-range fights and works really well with a red dot. The rapid fire, good magazine size, low recoil and the decent damage, makes it one of the best B tier picks for an all-rounder SMG.

 

SKS

●Fire Rate: 670

●Ammo: 7.62mm

●Base Damage: 53 HP

　　For the DMR users, SKS is a good pick if you are looking for a long-range beast plus a close-range auto DMR. The only drawback of SKS is the high recoil.

 

DP-28

●Fire Rate: 670

●Ammo: 7.62mm

●Base Damage: 53 HP

　　Last but not the least, we have DP-28 for the B tier which is also one of the few guns to have almost 0 recoil for mid to long range sprays. Being a LMG, the DP-28 is extremely stable but the only drawback to it is the latency in long range sprays.

Conclusion

　　In conclusion, one can deduce that the current meta revolves around M416, DBS and other high damage ARs and SMGs. Whether you are a long-range sniper or a close-range brawler, choose the right gun for yourself that suits you the best and follow the tier list to pick the best weapon.
