Top 10 Guns in Call of Duty Mobile
One of the best features of Call of Duty Mobile is the weapon balancing. If you ask the community what the “best” gun is, you’ll get many different answers based on skill level and playstyle preference. That said, some weapons are more popular than others, and with good reason, so here are my picks for the best guns in CoD Mobile.
Argus
Kicking things off with an unconventional pick: the Argus. This Shotgun has devastating one-shot kill potential with obscene range for its class. The issue is it’s hard to use as the firing slugs.
The Argus rewards accuracy and precision. If you can land the shots, you’ll destroy enemies at obnoxious ranges in the blink of an eye. If you miss, well, maybe you’ll have better luck throwing the gun at your opponent.
FFAR 1
The FFAR is a deadly Assault Rifle that excels at mid-range engagements thanks to its rapid rate of fire. Although I usually prefer an Optic, the FFAR has superb Iron Sights and performs well without one.
If you slap on an Agency Suppressor, and a Speed Mag, you can do a ton of work with this punchy Assault Rifle. This weapon loses out to others on this list at long range, but if you can close the distance, you’ll win plenty of battles.
Grau 5.56
The Grau 5.56 snags the top spot on many players’ lists with good reason. This weapon is incredibly versatile, with a decent rate of fire and minimal recoil. The Grau has a slower rate of fire than bullet hoses like the FFAR but performs well at longer ranges as a result.
Whether you’re a beginner or a veteran, you can make this weapon work and it can carry you regardless of your skill level.
SKS
Oh boy, this weapon is borderline broken. You don’t have to take my word for it, as the SKS is sitting on the naughty step in COD Mobile and is banned in competitive play.
That said, it’s a pub stomper and is capable of deleting players with a single headshot. Even if you miss the head, it will kill in 2 shots, and the relatively quick rate of fire makes this pretty simple. You can argue the SKS is a “skill” weapon as it’s not fully automatic, but it’s so easy to use that it barely matters.
DL Q33
While Sniper Rifles usually aren’t the strongest options in Call of Duty Mobile, I wanted to include one for all of you one-shot warriors out there.
The DLQ shines as a quick-scope Sniper Rifle. The weapon has a decent ADS speed and respectable mobility for the class. The DLQ is more forgiving than other decent Sniper Rifles like the XPR. Its a great choice if you’re just getting into sniping.
HVK-30
If you want the ability to two-shot kill like the SKS but on an automatic weapon, look no further than the HVK. This gnarly Assault Rifle hits hard and is surprisingly mobile, allowing you to zip around the map.
You must land headshots for the HVK to 2-shot kill, but with such a stable gun, this shouldn’t be a problem. Even if you land body shots, you’ll delete players quickly. Outside of extreme long-range, the HVK feels like a strong option no matter what you’re up to and is a strong contender for the best gun in the entire game.
Switchblade X9
The Switchblade is arguably the best SMG in COD Mobile and can erase close-range players in a split second. As the Switchblade is an SMG, it offers unrivaled mobility, which you’ll need for closing the distance.
SMGs excel on smaller maps like Nuketown, but the Switchblade is no slouch in battles a little further out. I’d still pick a solid Assault Rifle like the Grau for larger maps, but you’d be a fool to underestimate the Switchblade X9.
Holger 26
While LMGs are a little bulky for my taste, there’s no denying the strength of the Holger. One thing that stands out about this weapon is its lack of recoil. LMGs typically bounce all over the place, but the Holger is fairly stable.
The Holger has all the perks of the LMG class but barely any of the drawbacks. If you want a gun that’s easy to control and a near-bottomless magazine, give this chunky beast a spin.
MW11
The MW11 is a secondary weapon and is perfect for finishing opponents off if you run out of ammo with your main gun.
This sidearm hits hard for what it is and is accurate at close-mid ranges. The MW11 is also a great choice to run with a Sniper Rifle as if you don’t get a kill shot, you can quickly swap and finish the job off with your pistol.
CBR4
The CBR has been a popular weapon in high-level play for a long time, and although it’s been hit by the Nerf hammer, it’s still a superb pick.
As you’d expect from the SMG class, the CBR has a fantastic TTK at extremely close ranges, making it perfect for smaller maps. The CBR is decent even in mid-range combat as well, so don’t be afraid to take shots at opponents a little further out.
