Best guns in COD Mobile in 2024

Top assault rifles in COD Mobile

Here are some of the top assault rifles you can use in Call of Duty Mobile to grab right now:

1. AK-47

If you’re an avid COD Mobile player, you can’t go wrong with AK-47, also known as AKM in various shooting-based games. Although the gun packs in a reasonable amount of recoil, the damage dealt to enemies is quite intense once you land your bullets perfectly.

Highlights

• In multiplayer mode, four to five hits are enough to defeat your enemies from long distances.
• Even if you’re not a skilled player or can’t handle the recoil, the AK-47 manages to deliver a decent wide spray attack that helps in getting your shots right through the opponents’ heads or chest.

AK-47 is unlockable at level 18 and comes with 30 rounds of ammunition. Players can increase this number by using extended mag in both multiplayer and battle royale modes. Similarly, using other attachments such as barrels and grips can reduce the recoil and spray by a large margin which can come in handy as you progress in the game and face tougher opponents.

2. M13

The next assault rifle is M13. Launched in 2021, this gun was mostly disregarded for its below-average damage rate. However, over the past few seasons, the M13 has received a couple of buffs, especially in the form of attachments that make it a recommendable AR to use in multiplayer mode.

Highlights

• Just like most assault rifles available in Call of Duty Mobile, M13 comes with 30 rounds of ammo that can be extended up to 60 rounds using magazines.
• Furthermore, the M13 possess way less recoil as compared to other assault rifles which makes it a decent pick for short to medium-range battles.
• It is only during sustained firing that the vertical recoil kicks in, which should be controllable for most players.

All in all, if you’re willing to sacrifice a bit on the damage dealt, this weapon is for those who want minimal recoil with high firing rates.

3. KN-44

If you’re someone who prefers taking on enemies from long distances, the KN-44 is a reliable performer that ticks all the boxes.

Highlights

• With a firing rate of 628 RPM, the gun also features moderate recoil and slightly lower damage than its counterparts.
• Speaking of recoil, the weapon has a horizontal spray that comes into effect only after 10 rounds of firing.
• Hitting a headshot using the KN-44 will give a 1.3x multiplayer. So make sure to aim for the enemy’s head to obtain a good overall score. 

4. Peacekeeper MK2

Next up is a gun that gets unlocked only after getting 30 headshots using any assault rifle available in the game.

Highlights

• The Peacekeeper MK2 boasts an extremely high fire rate along with superb handling that makes it one of the most reliable AR for close to medium-range battles in multiplayer mode.
• Like most assault rifles, the Peacekeeper also comes with a default magazine size of 30 rounds that can be bumped up to 40 rounds using a double-stack mag.
• Besides that, what makes this AR stand out is the 150 milliseconds sprint-to-fire delay which is the fastest in its class. This allows the player to quickly stabilise the aim after a sprint.

As for battle royale mode, the Peacekeeper MK2 has a normal damage rate and features an okayish fire rate. It can be easily found lying around at different parts of the map in battle royale matches.

5. HVK 30

Yet another powerful assault rifle in Call of Duty Mobile is the HVK 30 which performs exceptionally well with the right set of attachments.

Highlights

• HVK 30 has a good fire rate at 711 RPM and gives intense damage to the opponent’s arms, upper chest, and head.
• It has a default magazine size of 35 rounds which can be extended up to 49 rounds using a mag from the loadout.
• As for the recoil, it’s smooth and stable which helps in hitting enemies at longer distances fairly easily.

Top sniper rifles in COD Mobile

1. DL Q33

The DL Q33 has been around in the game since the beginning. Since it can be grabbed early on in the game, this sniper rifle is easy to master as long as you get the aim right.

Highlights

• Coming with a magazine size of 6 rounds, players can one-shot the enemies from long distances even if the bullet doesn’t hit vital spots such as the head.
• Another perk of DL Q33 is that it has a moderate recoil allowing you to subtly take the second shot in case the first shot fails to land on the opponent.

2. Koshka

Just like the DL Q33, Koshka is a high-damage bolt-action sniper rifle that can slay opponents in one shot as long as the bullet doesn’t hit the legs.

Highlights

• The advantage this gun has over other snipers is the low recoil levels that help the player instantly get ready for the second shot.
• However, with a 46 RPM fire rate, it is not the best out there so players are recommended to carry a pistol or melee weapon for close combats.
• Koshka also carries some of the best in-game skins for a sniper rifle.

3. ZRG 20mm

If you want to try out something better than the likes of Locus, then ZRG is the one to go for.

Highlights

• It features one-shot capabilities that will give you an edge over opponents for long distances.
• The limelight of the weapon is that it can deliver intense damage to vehicles which can come in really handy in battle royale mode. But to achieve this, players will be required to attach the anti-vehicle attachment.
• Coming to the ADS times, it shares the same speeds as the DL Q33 and Koshka and is even faster when using the right set of attachments.

4. SVD

The SVD is a semi-automatic sniper rifle that quickly deals high damage in short to medium-range battles.

Highlights

• Suitable with 3x or 4x scopes, the SVD can at times also deliver one-shot kills as it unleashes a good amount of damage on the upper chest area of the enemies.
• If you feel like playing it safe, use SVD to provide cover fire to your teammates as the gun possesses fast firing rates which can come in handy during crunch situations. 

Top submachine guns in COD Mobile

Cordite

Cordite is one of the oldest submachine guns to be present in COD Mobile. It has received tons of buffs over the course of the past few seasons which makes it a reliable performer in most conditions.

Highlights

• Some of the perks of Cordite include a high damage rate alongside a high fire rate that allows it to quickly get rid of enemies at a close range.
• With a large magazine size of 40 rounds, players get an edge over other enemies that use an assault rifle, which generally comes with a higher damage rate. 

The only downside of the Cordite COD Mobile gun is its slow ADS times.

Fennec

Fennec comes with extremely high fire rates making it one of the fastest SMGs in the game currently.

Highlights

• The gun has a good recoil control that allows players to quickly wipe off enemy squads without any trouble.
• Using the Fennec with an extended mag makes things even more interesting as now you have the fastest gun with tons of bullets to claim victory over the opponents.

Since it’s a lightweight weapon, it allows players to shoot and run while maintaining mobility. 

QQ9

The QQ9 is yet another gun that has received several buffs over the past few updates. This has helped it to become the go-to SMG for skilled and professional players. 

Highlights

• Like any other submachine gun, the QQ9 boasts a fast fire rate, low recoil and high damage in short to medium-range combats.
• What makes it stand out is that it can even compete with some assault rifles in terms of range when using the right set of attachments.

Chopper

The Chopper LMG is a highly versatile gun to use in Call of Duty Mobile. It comes with a very high damage rate, fire rate and good accuracy to land shots right at the enemy’s weak spots.

Highlights

• The gun features an insanely high default ammunition of 500 rounds. This massive amount of firepower can wipe away your rivals in multiplayer game modes like domination where the opponents are generally isolated in a specific spot.
• One downside of the gun is that it deals less damage at close range but comes with a comfortable recoil.

Holger 26

The Holger has always remained a fan favourite LMG thanks to its balanced attributes such as comfortable handling, adequate ammunition, and the ability to take on the opposition from medium to long-range distances.

Highlights

• The LMG also sports a minimal vertical recoil that is manageable once you get used to the gun. At close range, 3 shots are enough to succumb your enemies to death.

Top shotguns in COD Mobile

JAK-12

The JAK-12 shotgun is a fully auto-open bolt shotgun with a recoil-reducing gas blowback system. It has a very fast fire rate and high damage for something of its size. In terms of appearance, the gun is light and looks like a rifle from afar.

Highlights

• A single round of ammo comes with 20 shots which is a decent amount to quickly one-shot a set of enemies in close range.
• Using the Marauder suppressor with JAK-12 aids the shotgun in reducing the recoil and provides a more accurate aim.

KRM-262

The KRM-262 is another great addition to the game and is regarded as one of the best shotguns available. For those who are not much familiar with using shotguns, the KRM may seem overwhelming and difficult to handle. However, with proper practice over a period of time, this gun is your best bet to get quick kills in a match.

Highlights

• When aimed with accuracy, players can easily kill the opponents in a single shot when in close range thanks to the high 98 damage per shot
• If you’re skilled or fond of playing with HIP firing mode, the KRM is definitely worth giving a try in both multiplayer and battle royale game modes.

R9

The R9 is an extremely fun-to-use semi-automatic and pump-action shotgun that needs to be reloaded pallet by pallet, unlike other guns that just require replacing the magazine with a fresh one.

Highlights

• Even though the damage per shot is low, it gets compensated by firing two pallets at a time which is something unique the shotgun boasts.
• The R9 can rapid-fire up to 4 shots when pressed the shoot button two times consecutively. This can result in high damages even for long ranges. 

Best guns in COD Mobile (Season 6)

Kilo 141

The Kilo 141 is regarded as one of the most reliable weapons in COD Mobile even in Season 6. Being an assault rifle, the Kilo 141 has a good blend of damage and range can be further improved using attachments.

Highlights

• The default ammunition round of Kilo 141 is 30 bullets and deals 29 damage to the body and 40.6 to the head.
• One standout aspect of Kilo 141 is that players can grab kills simply by landing three shots on the enemy’s head to gain a kill. It also has a headshot multiplier of 1.4x.
• Since the default recoil stability isn’t that great, players will have to use attachments to increase the gun’s accuracy.

HDR

Unlocked by hitting 20 headshots using any sniper rifle, HDR boasts an extremely high damage rate along with insanely fast bullet travel speeds. This weapon is suitable for both ranked multiplayer and battle royale modes.

Highlights

• While HDR has a decent mobility on its own, it fails in comparison to something like the DL Q33. Therefore, it is advisable to use the rifle in longer maps such as Crossfire, Icebreaker, Nuketown, and Satellite.
• The HDR comes with 91 base damage and can one-shot enemies within 30 metres.
  Unlike most sniper rifles, the gun is extremely stable allowing players to take the perfect shot.

FFAR-1

Released in Season 5, FFAR-1 is one of the best assault rifles you can rock alongside Krig 6. The recently released ‘Bright Gold’ mythic skin for the FFAR-1 makes the gun completely distinct.

• FFAR-1 comes with a base damage of 24 along with a range of 52. The fire rate stands at 91 while the accuracy is 42. 
• The default magazine size of 25 may seem on the lower side therefore it is recommended to add an attachment right of the bet.
