PUBG ASSAULT RIFLES

AKM

Ammo: 7.62 As you would guess from the 7.62 bullets, the AKM packs a punch for a fully-automatic assault rifle. Stick to semi-automatic fire for medium- and long-range engagements as the recoil will prove too difficult to manage. The AKM can only accept a muzzle, magazine, and sight attachment. Given its ability to kill armoured targets with five shots we recommend a sight as it can make the AKM devastating in the right hands. M416

Ammo: 5.56 Take your pick of attachments for the M416: muzzle, magazine, stock, lower, and upper rail attachments can all be fitted. Other than that, the M416 does not have many qualities to brag about. It can fire faster than the SCAR-L and has some of the best iron sights in the game, but on the down side it has abysmal impact, meaning your enemy’s aim is barely compromised when they receive damage from this PUBG weapon. SCAR-L

Ammo: 5.56 It might have the lowest DPS rating of any assault rifle in PUBG, but the SCAR-L makes up for it with its fully-automatic recoil pattern, which is comparable to the amount of kick produced by the M16A4 when firing in single-shot mode. While, theoretically, an enemy with a Groza should win in a duel, in practice you will have a much easier time landing all of your shots and may come out on top because of it. You can also outfit the SCAR-L with most AR attachments, though it is worth noting that the iron sights are very limiting, so a sight or scope should take precedent when looting buildings. M16A4

Ammo: 5.56 Solid and superb damage, low recoil, high bullet velocity (which means low bullet drop), and plenty of scope when it comes to which attachments you can plug onto this notorious rifle: the M16A4 is a beast. However, a lot of players ignore it due to its lack of a full-automatic fire mode. To make up for that, you can switch this PUBG weapon to burst fire for a DPS rating close to that of the Groza – just bear in mind the delay between bursts, which makes the M16A4 tough to use up close. AUG A3

Ammo: 5.56 Currently, the AUG A3 can only be found in airdrop crates, so getting your hands on one is pretty difficult. Decent burst recoil makes this assault rifle highly effective up to medium range. It is also one of the more versatile PUBG weapons when it comes to attachments and can be fitted with most sights, a variety of muzzle attachments, extended and quickdraw magazines, and grips.

PUBG PISTOLS

P92

Ammo: 9mm The P92 has a slightly lower rate of fire when compared to the P18C but a little extra stopping power to make up for it. Do not waste time deciding between the two. R1895. A mmo: 7.62 If you can land every shot then the revolver might save your life, if not then the low rate of fire, painfully slow reload times, and heavy kick of this sidearm can be insufferable. Swap out to fists and go H.A.M. – you will have a lot more fun at the very least. Skorpion

Ammo: 9mm With an effective fire range of 50 metres, the option of fully automatic fire, and heaps of attachment slots ensuring you can improve its stats, the Skorpion is an excellent pistol to carry at all stages of the game. Use it for close-quarters battles at the very start of a match when enemies haven’t had a chance to grab armour and you’ll find it a handy, pocket-sized SMG.

PUBG SANHOK WEAPONS

QBZ95 Ammo: 5.56

In the PUBG new map the SCAR-L has been replaced by the Chinese QBZ95, a modern bullpup assault rifle. This world spawn rifle has a slightly buffed spawn rate so it should be easy to find. Like the SCAR-L, the QBZ95 chambers a 5.56mm round that deals 43 damage per hit and carries 30 rounds in a standard magazine, which can be upped to 40 with the extended magazine attachment.

The QBZ is remarkably similar to the SCAR-L in that both deal the same amount of damage and can carry a wide variety of attachments, however they do differ in two ways: the QBZ95 takes much longer reload, but will down quicker thanks to its slightly higher rate of fire.

QBU

Ammo: 5.56

This DMR might lack damage owing to the 5.56 rounds it chambers, but it makes for it with exceptional muzzle velocity, a high rate of fire, and a bipod that nearly eliminates recoil when deployed. Sure, you’ll need to put a few rounds into a target before they drop, but the minimal travel time makes landing hits much easier, especially over long distances. The QBU can take muzzle, sight, and magazine attachments, making it reasonably modifiable for a DMR. Like the Mini 14, the QBU can stand in for an assault rifle if the RNG has been particularly cruel to you, but where it really excels is between medium and long-range firefights.
