The best (S-Tier) weapons in PUBG, explained

AWM

Considered the deadliest weapon ever PUBGthe AWM sniper rifle is an instant force to be reckoned with when used correctly, capable of one-shotting even players with a level three helmet. It does have some drawbacks, however, as the AWM and its ammo can only be obtained from the Care Package – but it’s definitely worth the fight.

M416

The M416 is the benchmark for a balance between short and long range in gunfights. Its rate of fire makes it really effective at taking down your enemies on the move, especially when multiple players are ganging up on you. It also has the most attachment slots in the game, making it easier for you to hit enemies for longer periods of time.

Mk14

If you’re looking for an easy-to-use yet effective weapon, the Mk14 is for you. Its automatic fire mode makes it the best choice for low-rank players. Just remember to use it in close to medium-range encounters to maximize its potential.

Mk12

The Mk12 is a semi-automatic rifle that is best suited to engaging multiple enemies at once. It can also penetrate armored vehicles, making it a great choice for single players due to its adaptability. It has high recoil and its magazine is quite small compared to other weapons, but if you use it correctly, the Mk12 can always get you within range of the coveted W.

Submachine gun

The Tommy Gun is one of the best weapons ever PUBG when it comes to mobility. It stays stable even when you’re wandering around in one place, especially when facing enemies on the ground. It’s best to use the Tommy Gun in close combat as it has high damage per second and a high rate of fire.

crossbow

While it is not a weapon, the crossbow is just as deadly as firing gunshots. It has high damage potential and can out-gun more powerful weapons in PUBG.

Its relative silence can also be an advantage, as it makes it harder for enemies to track your location. However, its overall effectiveness means it can be difficult to find, but that doesn’t make it any less of a blessing when you do.

Lynx AMR

This weapon of mass destruction can destroy multiple enemies thanks to its high rate of fire. The Lynx AMR also has high damage potential, especially if you use it from a long distance. However, it does have its drawbacks, most notably its noise, as it helps your enemies pinpoint your current location. But as long as you know how to properly navigate the map, the Lynx AMR can be a powerful tool in your arsenal.
