Aside from the gun stats, the best gun to focus on depends on your playing style, which can result in challenges in making decisions, especially for people new to the game. This article will show the best gun you can use in the game, what makes them special, and whether you should consider making a loadout from them.
How to Decide the Best Gun for You

Before we talk about the best guns in Call of Duty mobile, there are a few things you need to know to select one. These include:
- Playing style

There are three general playing styles used by all CODMobile players: sniper, assault, and support, although many players use all three styles. The sniper role requires adept skill in sniper rifles and other short-range guns. As a result, snipers generally go for a one-time kill sniper rifle such as the Arctic .50. The choice of short-range weapon can be a shredding machine such as the Mac-10 or a shotgun. Assault and support roles require adept skill in using an assault rifle with high damage, range, mobility, and stability and a shotgun or SMG.
- Desired Playing Experience

Some players enjoy close-quarter fights, necessitating choosing a gun in the SMG and Shotgun class. For long-range fights, a sniper rifle or an assault rifle, such as the AK-47, is a better option.
- Game Modes

The game mode also determines the type of guns you use. For example, many people favor a gun with high firing rates in Multiplayer, such as the M13 and the Fennec. However, in Battle Royale, there is a wide variation in the types of guns you can use.
- Accuracy

For players with low accuracy, guns with fewer bullets, such as the comparison between Mac-10 (30) and PPSSHH (65), can be problematic. As a result, the best guns for such scenarios depend on the pinpoint accuracy of the player.
- Use Loadout

This article will favor you tweaking your guns using the loadout menu and ensuring that you understand the effects of tweaking each part of the gun.
Best Assault Guns
Assault rifles are generally used due to the range and damage and are the first guns most players use. Their stats show they are more suitable for medium and long-range fights. There are several things to consider with assault weapons which can make decisions challenging. However, we will use damage and stability to provide the best two assault rifles for you.
M4

The M4 is popular in any game mode due to its high stability. While other guns underwent a nerf, such as the ICR-1 and M13, it replicates its previous season’s stat. Based on its stability due to minimal recoil, many players, especially beginners and pros, use it more. It would be best if you considered the gun in Battle Royale and Multiplayer modes for its versatility (either ADS or hip fire)
Pros
- High stability
- High fire rate
- High range
- High mobility
Cons
- Low damage compared to the likes of AK-47
AK-47

The AK-47 is considered by many as the most popular assault rifle in CODMobile based on the name ascribed to by movies and its stats. Using stats such as damage per shot, it can stand with the likes of EM2 (damage of 36) and Oden (damage of 48). Furthermore, it is less stable due to the recoil, although many players can rely on gyroscopes for finer accuracy. AK-47 is more suitable for Battle Royale mode compared to the Multiplayer
Pros
- High damage
- High fire rate
- High range
- High mobility
Cons
- High recoil
Best Submachine Guns (SMG)

SMGs (nicknamed the shredding machines) have an incredible fire rate and offer excellent mobility. As a result, they are the better option to pair with long-range rifles and more suitable for close-quarter combats. When choosing a submachine gun, you should consider its mobility which aids hip fire, damage, and, more importantly, the fire rate.
Mac-10

An unpopular opinion is that ACTIVISION released the Mac-10 to counteract shotgun users. With a firing rate of 120, the Mac-10 is a beast capable of ending a close-quarter fight in seconds, especially when in the hand of a player with accurate aim. Generally, it is better used in hip fire mode to complement such a type of combat.
It is a second choice of gun for players in the assault roles in Battle Royale and can be well suited for close-range multiplayer modes.
Pros
- High fire rate
- High mobility
Cons
- Low magazine
- Low damage
PPSh-41

The Mac-10 fire rest can be a nightmare for players with low accuracy. As a result, another suitable gun is the PPSh-41. It has a magazine of 65 bullets and a fair fire rate (82). Also, based on firsthand experience, it has minimal recoil, further improving its versatility.
Pros
- High magazine
- Fair fire rate
- High range
Cons
- High recoil
- Low mobility
Best Sniper Rifles

Not every player loves close-quarter fights. As a result, some players resonate more with sniper rifles such as the Koshka, DL Q33, and Arctic .50. When choosing a sniper rifle, you need to look for properties such as damage, range, mobility, stability, consecutive shots, and bullet trajectory. The Arctic .50 and the DL Q33 are top-of-the-line based on such properties.
ZRG 20mm

With a damage of 95, the ZRG 20mm is a new addition to the sniper rifle collection. It is a one-shot killing machine with a very long range. It is also stable; you can add attachments such as extended mags and tactical scopes to improve the gun.
Pros
- High damage
- High fire rate
- High range
- High mobility
Cons
- Quick bolt action rifle
XPR-50

Not every sniper favors a one-shot killing machine based on the movement style of people. As a result, some players favor sniper rifles that favors consecutive shots. While XPR-50 is not a one-shot killing machine, its consecutive shots make it seem like a mini assault rifle. Like the ZRG 20mm, you can also use attachments such as tactical scopes and extended mags to improve the gun.
Pros
- Consecutive shots
- High range
- High mobility
Cons
- Low damage
Best Shotguns

The new wave of the moment is that shotguns are a close combat killing machine. When choosing a shotgun, you can choose mobility, continuous shot, or damage. This is where selection becomes tricky: most shotguns have high damage, only the Jak-12, Striker, Echo, and R9 have continuous shots, and the BY15 is the most mobile. Based on firsthand experience, the best gun remains the HS0405 and the JAK-12 for different reasons.
HS0405

HS0405 is an overpowered shotgun that every CODMobile player must intend to learn to use. It has a one-time kill at close range and higher mobility than the KRM-22 and BY15. However, it has lesser control and requires a lot of trials to master.
Pros
- High damage
- High mobility
Cons
- One time shot
JAK-12

Although the KRM-262 could have taken the spot, it is similar to the HS0405. Hence, players, especially those with aiming accuracy problems requiring an assault-like shotgun, rely more on the JAK-12. It has continuous shots from a 12-magazine expandable to 25, which can be your enemy’s nightmare.
Pros
- High magazine
- Continuous shots
- High range
Cons
- Low damage compared to other shotguns
- Low mobility
